Nursi’s Sufism Without Sufi Order: A Centemporary Debate Among The Ulama

Abstract

Some scholars think that people who take up religious beliefs are synonymous with being committed, so that many people want to have congregation. However, there are also scholars like Badiuzzaman Said Nursi who think that tasawuf does not have to be committed. The statement of Sufism and tarekat according to Nursi as a way to recognize the nature of faith and the essence of al-Qur’an became a spiritual path under the guidance of the Prophet’s sunnah. This article aims to explain the main thoughts of Nursi’s Sufism and Nursi’s thoughts on tasawuf without any commitment. This research is a research library. The approach used is a socio-historical approach with content analysis techniques. The results showed that Sufism without tarekat, according to Nursi, is someone who has tasawuf does not have to follow the teachings of a tarekat that has a teacher or murshid, only by always reciting the name of Allah, and always carrying out the obligatory commands of Allah and the sunnah, then he will feel close to Allah. This Nursi thought is a new thing that will make it easier for someone to be closer to Alla h
