ZUHUD DAN GERAKAN DAKWAH SYEKH ABDUL QADIR AL-JAILANI 521-561 H

Abstract

The issue of zuhud is a very urgent issue to be discussed, especially in the current era of modernization which has brought negative impacts in all fields, be it education, politics, social, and culture. Therefore, a da'wah movement is needed to minimize these negative impacts. Among the Sufi scholars who are very persistent in carrying out the da'wah movement is Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jailani. At a time when there was a lot of damage in his time, Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jailani with his asceticism was able to play a good role in the da'wah movement. Therefore, this article will discuss specifically about zuhud and the da'wah movement of Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jailani. Through an in-depth and authoritative literature review with a descriptive analysis, it was found that the da'wah movement of Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jailani includes three things, namely da'wah in justifying the true meaning of zuhud; da'wah with education and teaching; as well as da’wah with lectures and advice. Thus Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jailani is one of the Sufi scholars who integrates the meaning of zuhud with his da'wah movement.
