This research portrays the concept of dzikir. In this case, the basis of the researchers' understanding ishow dzikir performed by Abdul Rauf Singkel, a scholar as the founder of Tarekat Syatariyyah (the order of Islamic mysticism of Syattariyah). The teaching of dzikir by Abdul Rauf Singkel is closely related to the teaching of dzikir in Sufism. It can be seen especially in what whe wrote in one of his works, the Tanbih al-Masyih book. The results of this study revealed that the concept of dzikir given by Abdul Rauf is an attempt to prevent our selves from negligence and forgetfulness. Dzikir also strengthens the faithfulness and sense of divinity. Abdul Rauf Singkel emphasizes doing dzikir to always remember Allah SWT. In his teaching, he taught dzikir by explaining five kinds of it, namely illa Allah, Allah Allah, huwahuwa, hu Allah hu Allah, Allah hu Allah hu. Furthermore, he also taught two ways of dzikir namely with sir and jahr. Also, he taught dzikir after Fardu prayer, and he encourages to do lots of dzikir to Allah even after doing prayer. Abdul Rauf Singkel also stated that the purpose of dzikir is to acknowledge God, and it can be useful for both physical and mental healers. Keywords: Dzikir’s concept, Abdul Rauf Singkel, Book of Tanbih al- Masyih Introduction Dzikir is one of the basic teachingsof Islam. It is a way to remember Allah, and it shows one's submission to Him. Moreover. dzikir is also a way to achieve a life balance. Thus, it is not enough for people to only pay attention to the nature of their birth (body) but also need to fulfill their spiritual needs. Regarding this, dzikir is one of the stages to meet spiritual needs. The term dzikir is very well known in the world of Sufism. It even becomes one of the stages to achieve Sufi degrees. Thus, one cannot be a Sufi if the anxiety still covers his soul. The anxious hearts and souls are not only monopolized by poor people but also by wealthy people with an empty soul. However, dzikir should not only be practiced by Sufi people but all humans but also should be practiced by all Muslims to appease the soul.
