Abstract

Tarekat and Sufism are often used as scapegoats for the Islam declining issue. The concepts of zuhud, fakir, and tawakal are considered to alienate the activities of tarekat from worldly life, so that life is a way of fatalist life and away from the world. This fatalistic teaching adopted by Sufism is considered as the prior cause of cultural poverty among Muslims. The followers of tarekat and Sufism are identified with poverty and slum life. However, it is different from the Tarekat Shiddiqiyah in Jombang Regency which is engaged in business and many members do business and become entrepreneurs. This research is literature research using qualitative descriptive method. The primary data source of this study is murshid’s writings of the tarekat Shiddiqiyah, published books of the tarekat and the official page of the Shiddiqiyah. The focus of this research is: 1). how is the economic culture of the tarekat Shiddiqiyyah and 2). What is the economic framework of the Sufi perspective of the tarekat Shiddiqiyyah. The location of this study is in the tarekat Shiddiqiyah Jombang in East Java. The results of this study are: 1) The fundamental of the tarekat Shiddiqiyyah economic culture is as follows: understanding of zuhud which does not have to stay away from the worldly life , Religion cannot be separated from humanitarian activities, business obligations, disgrace of lazy people and begging, suggestions for helping another human beings and business activities are Jihad fi sabilillah. 2).
