| dc.description.abstract | The P2T Community (Tawhid Sufism Women's Association) is a women's community that builds Muslim women's character by introducing Tawhid Sufism's teachings. Through ethnographic studies, this research aims to describe the P2T (Tawhid Sufism Women's Association) community. This research seeks to answer how the P2T community and its Sufism teachings developed as a way to get closer to the Divine. Apart from that, this research also examines the P2T community's religious system and religious practices and their impact on members' social life and loyalty. This research uses ethnographic methods as a very relevant approach to comprehensively describe the culture of the P2T community. Data collection techniques include participant observation, in-depth interviews, and secondary sources. Data analysis: taxonomic analysis, domain analysis techniques, and cultural themes were qualitatively used. Research findings show that the functional P2T community religious system regulates the behavior of its members religiously, which can be seen from the following three aspects: First, khauf as a religious emotion that moves the soul to be religious. Second, the concept of maqom as a level of closeness to God (Allah SWT) which is achieved through certain methods such as allegiance, suluk, recitation, and muzakarah. Third, the concept of religious communities as loving congregations strengthens the loyalty of fellow members. These three spiritual elements impact the social behavior of its members, such as dress code, family relationships, and strengthening solidarity in society with affection. The concept of compassion is the third pillar of religion, namely Al-Ihsan, which means "doing good." In the P2T community's conception, the highest peak of understanding knowledge is to get closer to God (Allah SWT), which is reflected in good morals (akhlakul karimah). | en_US |
