Abstract

Sufism is always seen for having more emphasis on the salvation hereafter. It also has become a spiritual force in human souls to adapt to changing times. However, ulama in pesantren Riyad al-Jannah Islamic Traditional Boarding School, Pacet, Mojokerto understand it differently as they see sufism and entrepreneurship which focuses on economic betterment can join hand. They believe that Sufism does not lead people to the abyss of ecstasy and stagnation but rather leads them to the prosperity through the practice of deeds in worldly life without neglecting the interests in hereafter. This study aims to reveal the most in-depth exposure to entrepreneurship based on Sufism values in the Pesantren Riyadlul Jannah. The results show that the Sufi circles and teachings in this institute lead students to actively develop entrepreneurship with the support of business centers and their facilities by the school. The school develops entrepreneurship skills for santri to build economic independence. This way will prevent them from the lure of worldly pleasure, materialism, and secularism. This entrepreneurship-inspired Sufism will generate welfare, independence, with the blessing of God.
