Level Of Acceptance Among The Muslim Community In Negeri Sembilan Towards Tariqah

Tahap Penerimaan Masyarakat Islam Di Negeri Sembilan Terhadap Tarekat

Abstract

The practice of tariqa is very much ingrained within the Muslim community of Negeri Sembilan. Nevertheless, the influence of various schools of thought seemed to have some impact on traditional Islamic belief systems, including the practice of tariqah. Therefore, this study tries to see the level of acceptance of Negeri Sembilan's Muslim community towards the practice. This study was carried out using numerical quantitative methods with the help of SPSS. Negeri Sembilan has been selected as the study location. This questionnaire was prepared to find out two things, namely the level of acceptance of the Muslim community in Negeri Sembilan and the factors of their acceptance of the order. A total of 384 people have been selected as respondents. The results found that the Negeri Sembilan Muslim community has a high level of acceptance towards the practice of tariqah with a mean of 3.88. The high acceptance is influenced by several factors such as the influence of the environment, education, role of the State Mufti Department, the Government of Negeri Sembilan and the existence of the Sufism Order Enactment which monitors the practice of tariqa order in Negeri Sembilan.
