[ 179 ] AL ALBAB Volume 6 Number 2 December 2017 SOCIO-SUFISM OF ORANG MAIYAH: TOWARD HUMAN SOVEREIGNITY IN TOGETHERNESS Rizqa Ahmadi Department of Tasawuf dan Psikoterapi Faculty of Ushuluddin, Adab, dan Dakwah IAIN Tulungagung Email: rizcoaham@gmail.com ABSTRACT Among various religious groups in Indonesia is Orang Maiyah (Gathering Com- munity) that has become a unique phenomenon. Cak Nun (Emha Ainun Najib) is the central fgure in the community as well as the source of knowledge and inspiration for its members (although in so many occasion Cak Nun refuses to be called so). Tis paper explores the style of social Sufsm teachings attached to the community approached by descriptive qualitative analysis. Tis work shows that Orang Maiyah, which is spread in various regions of Indonesia, has become a religiously motivated movement that brings people together to achieve a “sov- ereigned human” state of life. Cak Nun is not a sole magnet that lures the com- munity members. Te members of the community have a freedom to choose the paths of truth according to their own conscience through dialogue, discussion. Tey also exchange information from various sources provided by the Maiyah activities. Keywords: Socio-Sufsm, Maiyah, togetherness, sovereignty, charisma. BACKGROUND One may say that Muslims today are like froth. Te assumption might be associated to the hadits by the Prophet Muhhamad who mentions that one day Muslims will have a situation in which they loose their power, although with a large quantity but the quality is not comparable. Te mosque is spread everywhere but it only serves as a place of worship as a ritual, not for social activities. Te preachers with various models and methods do not make the people excited to worship but actually makes them fragmented. Te true Islamic mission as a carrier of peace seems to be and ferce. Indeed, Muslims are not fully aware that the spiritual crisis is engulfed. Tis is a unique phenomenon of spiritual crisis. Not that modern society is far from religion
