Mursyid's Communication Patterns with the Naqsyabandiyah Congregation and Its Implementation in Religious Social Life in North Labuhanbatu Regency

Abstract

<em>The aim of this research is to find out how the murshids interact with the social and religious diversity of the congregation at the Naqsyabandiyah persulukan tarekat Islamic boarding school in North Labuhanbatu subdistrict. Specifically, this research will investigate and analyze how the murshids interact with the social and religious diversity of the congregation in the Pondok Persulukan environment. Apart from that, the research will look at whether the murshids are successful in implementing their communication patterns or not. Qualitative research is used to collect data as a whole. Data was collected through interviews, observation and document examination. A thorough interview was conducted with the murshid, who was a great teacher and the person responsible for the practice of persulukan. In addition, the congregation was interviewed to confirm the results of the interview with the murshid. Apart from that, observations are carried out as a method to ensure that what is conveyed is appropriate to the conditions in the field. However, data documentation consists of reference books or materials taught to the congregation by the murshid. The multi-situation research model, modified from Miles and Huberman, was used to analyze this research data. To gain novelty, research begins by presenting single site data, creating a proposition, and then conducting cross-site research. The results of the research show that the murshid's communication pattern is integrated and has no impact on the results or accuracy of the message conveyed about the tarekat's teachings on the knowledge and practice of the congregation's (communicants) tarekat teachings. Even though the murshid's communication pattern is short, or one-way communication, there is no miscommunication regarding the content of the message received by the congregation. Therefore, this short communication pattern will have an impact on the results and accuracy of the message conveyed.</em>
