| Description: | Performing Sufi practices is one of the ways of getting closer to Allah and achieving the level of gnosis (ma?rifa Allah). The objective of this article is to assess the Sufi rituals offered by Sayyid Abdul Rahman bin Sayyid Muhammad Zayn, known widely as Tok Ku Paloh. He was a famous Sufi figure in the Nusantara region based on his manuscript entitled Ma?arij Al-Lahfan Li Al-Taraqqi Ila Haqaiq Al-?Irfan (The Ladder for the Thirsty to Achieve Ma?rifa). This is a qualitative study using the content analysis method based on the treatise. The study found that the Sufi rituals accomplished by Sayyid ?Abdul Rahman Al-Aydarus were systematically presented, covering fundamental aspects in Islamic spirituality such as repentance (tawba), prayer (du`a), invocation (dhikr) and contemplation (muraqaba). This article is based on the premise that Sayyid Abdul Rahman Al-Aydarus has essentially highlighted one of the best manuals of Sufi practices to be revealed to the public in his time. Consequently, many of these Sufi practices are still practised in modern society today. |
