THE RELEVANCE OF ZUHUD IN MODERN SUFISM TEACHINGS ON THE FORMATION OF IDEAL MUSLIM CHARACTER FROM BUYA HAMKA'S PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the relevance of asceticism in modern Sufism teachings towards the formation of an ideal Muslim character from Buya Hamka's perspective. This research is library research. The approach used is historical and Sufistic. There are two types of data sources used, namely primary data sources in the form of Buya Hamka's works and secondary data sources in the form of supporting books written by other people that are related to Buya Hamka's thoughts. The data collection and processing methods are data analysis and content analysis. Zuhud in Hamka's modern Sufism is very relevant to be applied in efforts to form the ideal Muslim character because it can help erode spiritual emptiness, is able to fulfill a balance between ukhuravi and worldly through correct worship and i'tiqad, and functions as a medium for effective moral formation.
