THORIQOH ROAD Husnul khotimah

THORIQOH ROAD Husnul khotimah

I. Thoriqoh. Meaning Thoriqoh according to language is a path or can be called schools aware of the road, it is necessary also to know "how to" cross the street in order not to stray / lost. Thoriqoh goal is to seek the truth, then the way through it the way it should also be in the right way. To that must exist an inner preparation, namely the right attitude. Such attitudes will not appear by itself, it needs a certain inner exercises in certain ways as well.

Around the 2nd century AH and the third born groups with the method of teaching practice cored "Dhikrullah". Source of his teachings can not be separated from the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. These groups were then calling themselves by the name "Thoriqoh", which is predicated / carrier named in accordance with those teachings. So lies the several names, among others:
a. Thoriqoh Qadiriyah, carrying his teachings are: Sheikh Abdul Qodir Jaelani qs (Qaddasallahu sirrahu).
b. Thoriqoh Syadzaliyah, carrying his teachings: Shaykh Abu Hassan As-Syadzali qs
c. Thoriqoh Naqsyabandiyah: As host of his teachings: Shaykh Baha An-Naqsabandi qs
d. Thoriqoh Rifa'iyah, carrying his teachings: Shaykh Ahmad ibn Abil Hasan Al-Rifa 'i qs

and much more Thoriqoh names that match what was spoken by God. :

Meaning:
"If they really istiqomah - (pendirian/terus- remain constantly above Thoriqoh (path) it, We will give to drink them with water (wisdom) which abound.
(Q. S. Al-Jinn: 16)

In its growth, the scholars argue Thoriqoh of total Thoriqoh spread across the Islamic world, especially in Indonesia, there is a Mu'tabaroh Thoriqoh (admittedly) and there is also Thoriqoh Ghairu Mu'tabaroh (not acknowledged its existence / validity).

Someone who adheres to / follow certain Thoriqoh named salik (people walking) are the way they did in certain ways is called mysticism. Many of the things that has to be done by a salik if you want to come to its intended destination.

In the path (thoriqoh) to unlock the secrets and exposure of the wall (hijab) then they hold the mental activity, riyadoh (exercises) and mujahadah (struggle) keruhaniyan. Such a struggle is called mysticism, and the people who worked on called "salik".

So it's pretty clear that Thoriqoh a system or method for the path that ultimately recognize and feel the presence of God. Where one can see God with his mind's eye (Ainul basiroh), according to the hadith as follows:

Narrated Abu Hurairah ra., He said:
One day, the Messenger of Allah. appeared among the Muslims. Then came a man and asked: O Allah, what is Faith? Messenger of Allah. answer: You believe in Allah, His angels, His books, meeting with Him, His Messengers and the Day of Resurrection. The man asked again: O Allah, what is Islam? Messenger of Allah. said: Islam is that you worship Allah and not associate him with anything, establish obligatory prayer and pay the obligatory zakat and fasting in Ramadan. The man again asked: Messenger of Allah, whether it is Ihsan? Messenger of Allah. answer: You worship Allah as though you see Him. And if you do not see Him, then indeed He always sees you. The man asked: O Messenger of God, when will the Day of Resurrection? Messenger of Allah. answer: The person who asked about this issue do not know better than people who ask. But I will tell
signs; If the slave women to bear children of their master, then that's one of the signs. Where are the poor poor man becomes a leader, then it tarmasuk between the signs. If the sheep herders each boast-splendor with the building. That part of the five signs, known only to God. Then the Messenger of Allah. Taala read God's word: Verily Allah, only on his side alone knowledge of the Hour: and He is the rain, and knows what is in the womb. And no one can know (for sure) what will be earned tomorrow. And no one can figure out where on earth he would die. Surely Allah is Knower, Aware. {Surah Al-Luqman verse 34} Then the man went by, then the Messenger of Allah. He said: Call it back! The friend went about to call him, but they did not see anyone. Messenger of Allah.
He said: He was Gabriel, he came to teach people their religion problem
(Bukhari and Muslim)

Hadiths is clearly a destination for all those who confess and Muslim states, not just faith and Islam but also claimed to be a true self 'charity', and ath-Thariqoh is a way to reach the degree of charity with good fit God's guidance and His Messenger.

Such things are based questions Hadrat Ali ibn Abi Talib was the Prophet Muhammad. O Messenger of Allah, where is the closest way to get to God. Prophet replied: There is no other, except with dhikrullah.

In this regard Allah was also confirmed in his Word in the Qur'an Kariim;

28. (They are) those who believe and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah. Remember, only with the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.
(Surah Ar-Ra'd verse 28)

Thus it is clear that the road in close reach Allah; feel seen and noted, can only be achieved by a servant with the dhikr to Him (dhikrullah), in addition to doing the exercises (riyadoh) physical and mental as it is commonly done by people Shufi between Other: Ikhlas, honest, ascetic, muraqabah, musyahadah, tajarrud, mahabah, love of God Almighty. and so forth, which is a form of dhikrullah itself; the scholars tariqah / Sufism define it in the form dhikrullah amaliyah.

Look at the instructions of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad, then Thoriqah has two senses:
First: It means a method of spiritual guidance to individuals (individual) in directing his life toward closeness with God.
Second: Thoriqoh as a brotherhood of Shufi which marked the formal institutions such as the shrine, ribath, or khanaqah.

Status of Teachers Thoriqoh reinforced by the teachings Wasilah and genealogy (sanad). Confidence berwasilah closely with the teacher be treated with confidence karomah, baraka and syafa'at or overflow of help from Allah SWT through a gift to the teacher. Adherence to Master students in Thoriqoh described as a corpse in the hands of people who bathe.

Thus it can be retrieved common thread is that the core Thoriqoh wushul (met) with God. If you want to meet, then the path that can be used can vary. Like people are willing to travel to Jakarta, when people depart from Surabaya yes it should be heading west. In contrast, if the person departing from Medan ya have to walk east towards Jakarta. This means that Thoriqoh that exist, especially in Indonesia have the same goal of wushul, to Allah SWT.

II. The road to wushul ILALLAH

a. Through muraqabah.
Instructions Qur'an about muraqabah / n pendekata to Allah SWT. mentioned in the Qur'an, among others:

186. and when My servants question thee concerning Me, then (answer), that I was close. I grant the request of a person who prays when he pleaded with me, so let's meet them (my commandments) and let them believe in Me, so they are always in truth.
(S. Al-Baqarah: 186).

Know, O my brother, Allah SWT always keep an eye on everything, as affirmed in the Qur'an S. Al-Ahzab (33): 52.

52. ... ... ... ... .... and Allah is watching everything.

It is instructive that someone is always being watched / stalked by God, because God is basically very close to his servants, as the instructions S. Al-Qof (50): 16.

16. and Verily We created man and know what is prompted by his heart, and We are nearer to him than his neck vein,

Similarly, the instructions of the Quran in S. Al-Hadid (57): 4.

4. He created the heavens and the earth in six days: and then He dwells on the 'arsh. He knows what goes into the earth and what comes out of it and what fell from the sky and what goes up to him. and He is with you wherever you are. and Allah doth see all that ye do.

Hadith of the Prophet SAW. also give directions, ie when the angel Gabriel Prophet answered questions about Ihsan, he replied, of whom you worship Allah as though if you are seeing it. If you can not see Him, rest assured that Allah sees you.
(Narrated by Bukhari, Muslim).

Spiritual awareness that Allah SWT. always present in and around him will make him always feel watched all that done, even to what occurred in his heart.

Many of the stories in the world of Sufi teacher and santrinya the four men, one of whom did not want to slaughter the chickens given by the Master, because for God does not exist a hidden, Allah is All Seeing, All-Knowing, then luluslah students from exams given teacher them.

Furthermore, Al-Imam al-Qusairi.rhm said: "He who muraqabah with God in his heart, then God will memiliharanya of sin in his limbs. Sufi Imam Sufyan Sauri.rhm should also instruct you to do muraqobah of Essence that is no longer vague about everything, you should always expect the king '(expectation with great hope) to Essence that has torment (Abu Bakr Jabir al-Jazairi 1976: 85 ).

So from the description above can be observed for a positive impact muroqobah able to do, namely:
q Having a positive sense of shame.
q will always be careful in all utterances and actions.
q It never felt abandoned by God alone nor even his prayer is offered not seem right dikabul
q Not easily discouraged any fate
q Being a sincere servant as hinted at in the Quran S. Joseph (12): 24.

24. Indeed she had intended to (do the deed) to Joseph, and Yusufpun intend (do anyway) with her if he (Prophet Joseph) did not see the signs (of) his Lord [*]. Thus, that We might turn away from him munkar and abominations. Indeed Joseph's Included Our servants are chosen.

[*] This verse does not indicate that the Prophet Joseph as got a bad desire for her (Zulaikha), but the temptation was so besanya so that if the Prophet Joseph was not strengthened by faith in Allah swt He would have fallen into disobedience. And this verse shows the faith of the Prophet Joseph was strong in implementing Ihsan, was seen and supervised by Allah SWT.

b. Through Muhasabah
Muhasabah means people always think about, consider and account for & shy; do what it has and that will be done. Guidelines in S. Al-Hashr (59): 18.

18. O ye who believe, fear Allah, and let each self-pay attention to what he has done for tomorrow (Hereafter); and fear Allah, surely Allah knows what you do.

From this sense can be taken a lesson that Muhasabah:

1. Proving the existence of faith and piety to God and God in him to admit it. For Muslims, the faith is all-powerful force to keep people from low values, and is a tool that humans move to increase the value of noble and morally clean. The believer will try to practice the noble spirit / mah easy, is not reprehensible morals / mazmumah in their everyday lives so that the person will be spared of any crime. That picture of the righteous, cleansed of sin, can defeat the demands of lust.

2. People who bermuhasabah, definitely have a belief in the Day of Judgement (in particular) is so pervasive in his heart that he felt pelu very carefully at every step. He did not dare mess will ban Allah SWT.

3. People will always try to improve the quality of charity, because he felt did not want to lose money from day to day. It is like the merchant, before leaving to take into account how much capital is needed, how many did he have to sell merchandise, and when completed will count again how the money can take home. So also in terms of religion, its capital is a collection of obligations that had to do, is practice-practice profits are successful doing sunnah.

4. Message Hadrat Amir al-Mumineen Umar ibn Khattab ra: Take into account before you count yourself. Therefore, attitude to life and muhasabah muraqobah an increase in human mental ruhaniyah and so it really becomes a pious servant of God, living in obedience and avoid evil.

c. Through Dhikr
Dhikr means remember, remember, reflect, mention. Included within the meaning of dhikr is that she, reading the Koran, prayer beads (purify God) tahmid (praise God), Takbir (God raising) tahlil (mentauhidkan God), seek forgiveness (ask forgiveness of Allah) hauqalah (read lahula illah wala quwwata billahi 'aliylil' adziem) and others.

There dhikr which together with such other worship with prayer, tawaf, sa'i, wukuf and so forth. And some are made specifically dhikr / ter himself pronounced at certain times, or on, any time. There dhikr whose number is not determined by the Personality ', but there is dhikr whose number is determined by the Personality' according to the provisions Thoriqoh is concerned, the Prophet SAW. either by his own statements as well as with his practice examples. Dhikr in the sense of being remembered or remembering God, should be done at any time. This means that any activity undertaken by a Muslim should not forget Allah SWT.

Wherever a Muslim is, should always remember to Allah, so that gave birth to love God and work righteousness shame sin and sinners to God. Dhikr in a sense God calling asthma who practiced regularly, usually called the wind or a plurality called aurad.

Dhikr in the calling of God, including worship makhdhoh asthma that is the direct worship to Allah SWT. As a direct worship, then it is bound by the norms of worship directly to God, that must ma'sur no examples or no command of the Messenger of Allah SWT. or have permission from him. That is kind of dhikr should not be written by someone. Dhikr is simply remembering or calling holy names of God, or the names of God or kalamullah, the Qur'an.
Instructions of the Qur'an and the Hadith concerning the activities of dhikr is quite a lot, among others, may be mentioned:

Word of God: Remember ye unto me I will remember you anyway.
(S. Al-Baqarah (2): 152)

41. O ye who believe! Berdzikirlah (by name) God, remembrance as much as possible.
(S. Al-Ahzab (33): 41).

191. (They are) those who remember Allah standing, sitting, lying down and their objec think about the creation of the heavens and the earth (saying): "My God We, Nor You created this in vain, Supreme holy art thou, then guard us from the torment of hell.

(Q. S. Ali-Imran: 191).

205. and do thou (name) of your Lord in your hearts to humble himself and fear, and with no raised her voice, in the morning and evening, and do not include people who are negligent.

(S. Al-A 'ROF (7): 205).

28. (They are) those who believe and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah. Remember, only with the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.
(S. Ar-Ra 'du (13): 28).

The traditions of the Prophet:
Allah has said. (In a hadith Qudsi): I together my servant has been given me, and his lips moved mention of my name. (Narrated by Ibn Al Baihaqy and Hiban).

No one man can do an act which detracts from the Wrath of Allah SWT. better than the dhikr. The Companions asked nor jihad fi sabilillah, except when you hit the enemy with your sword so that he broke, then you hit again with your sword so that he broke, then hit again with your sword so that he broke. (Narrated by Ibn Abi Al Syaibah in Musshanaf).

Prophet Muhammad. was once asked: what is the most afdol Practice? He replied: You died in the state of your tongue wet with dhikr of Allah (Narrated by Ibn Hiban & Athabrani).

The Prophet SAW. has said: Allah SWT. qudsy says in a Hadith: He who was busy remembering to Me, so that did not get to ask anything of me, then I will give him the best of what I give to the applicant (Narrated by Bukhari)

A prominent Shufian Qosim Abdul said: Remember God is a very strong part to tread the path closer to Allah the Most Holy. Even as the unit / subject in the street / thoriqah this (road shufiyah). And one can only come to God by continually remember Allah (Abu Muhammad Abdullah Al-Yafi'i: Nasrul Mahasin Al-Ghoyah: 247).

It should be presented in outline that the practice of dhikr in the world thoriqoh, its implementation can vary depending on the characteristics and personality tehnisnya thoriqoh itself according to its instructions Murshid.

Ulema Thoriqoh read these types of dhikr into three levels:
a. Verbal Dhikr: La ilaha Illalah. Mulamula could then rise slowly to soak in quickly after feeling sad.
b. Dhikr of the heart (heart): God, Allah.
At first his mouth dhikr followed by the liver, and heart-to-mouth, tongue own dhikr, the remembrance without conscious, the mind does not work anymore, but rather occurs as a divine inspiration which is incarnate in the hearts notify Nur: Anal Innany Laahu, which rises to mouth to say God, God.
c. Dhikr Sir or Secret: Hu Hu. Usually before it gets to the level of dhikr mortal man was first. In such a situation between themselves feeling with him into one. Man Lam lam jazuk ya'rif: Anyone who has not felt, it is not known.

The cleric also ahl-Thariqoh which divides into four different types of dhikr: dhikr Qolbiyah, Aqliyah Dhikr, and Dhikr Dhikr Oral amaliyah.

All is good all the technical dhikr. Ultimately is up to each of us the ability to implement it in accordance with the choice of dhikr Thoriqoh and guidance as the students concerned Murshid can only obey the teacher's instructions.

Similarly, a brief description of our present path toward Thoriqoh as khusnul khatimah, which hopefully is an initiative of a servant to dream for every Muslim at the end of his life. Hopefully there is no benefit. And Allah, always guided and guided us all. Amin.

Wa min Allah at wal taufiq guidance aid, wa wa bi bi hurmati Habib hurmati Fatihah!
