Summary: | This study aims at examining the spiritual nurturing as practised by al- Shaykh ‘Abd
al-Qadir al-Jaylani and the followers of his sufi order. It also aims at tracing the arrival
and the spread of this sufi order in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, and examining
how far the followers in this city were influenced by the teachings of the order. The
study is based on the deductive method and textual analysis. Thus, the data is
collected from the writings of the shaykh and other writings that are related to the
topic to formulate his method in spiritual nurturing. The study also adopts the method
of historical survey in the treatment of historical records, apart from the field work
involving interviews with the followers of the order and observation of their
behaviours and activities in order to ascertain the influence of the shaykh’s teaching
on them. The study found out that spiritual nurturing as practised by the shaykh was
based on his own experience. His order is founded on three basic positions: the
position of the shari‘ah, the position of repentance and the position of the spiritual
leader. There are seven basic principles that were emphasized in his teachings and
they are: spiritual struggle, reliance on God, good behaviour, thankfulness, patience,
contentment and truthfulness. The spiritual training is based on chants and
confinement, apart from performing the normal obligatory and commendable deeds.
The study also found that the Qadiriyyah order in Thailand is related in terms of the
chains of tutelage to al- Ahmad Khatib al-Sambasi, one of the greatest Malay gurus of
the order, while in terms of authenticity, it is found that the order as practised by its
followers in Bangkok does not fully reflect the authentic teachings of al-Jaylani. Thus,
it can be said that the influence of the shaykh is limited to them carrying his name for
their group and the chants which were inherited from him as well as the
commemoration of his accomplishments. But in terms of spiritual development, the
degree of achievement is more visible among certain individuals than the rest, due to
the varied aims of these followers in subscribing to the Qadiriyyah order. |
