BEING PEACEFUL THROUGH SUFI PRACTICES DURING THE PANDEMIC
Abstract
The pandemic puts great pressure on social change in society. As a result, people's way of life has changed, so that the term "New Normal" has emerged. The new way of life demands the good adaptability of society. Without successful adaptation, people can experience various problems, one of which is mental health problems. In fact, many elements of society have difficulty adapting to the new normal life. It takes mental strength and high spiritual
awareness to be able to accept a pandemic, so as to achieve successful adaptation. This research tries to explore how the Sufi community reacted to the pandemic, and then understand how the Sufi community arranged strategies to control themselves in facing a new normal life. The study was prepared using a descriptive qualitative method using an open-ended questionnaire. Respondents in this study were 18 members of the Jam'iyyah Ahlith Thoriqoh al-Mu'tabaroh an-Nahdliyyah (JATMAN). The results showed that the Sufi community felt calmer than other people around them in facing social changes due to the pandemic. Calmness is obtained because of: (1) high confidence in Allah's destiny, (2) the inculcation of tawakal values, (3) routine prayer and prayer, and (4) examples of murshid practices. Peace of mind also appears as an implication of the routine of reading sholawat, praying, reading wirid ijazah, and reading the Al-Qur'an.
