SUFISTIC EDUCATION, A URGENCY OF AGE MODERNITY

The life of modern society is identical with deification of science and technology, ruling out an understanding of religion . Sufism invites its adherents to think and dhikr, to use their minds intellectually optimally for the sake of the people to keep their hearts together in remembering Allah in the recitation of dhikr .

Ahlusunnah
Wal jamaah (Aswaja) tradition allows its adherents to see things in a balanced and harmonious manner. Aswaja covers the aspects of aqidah (theology), Shari'a and Sufism (morality, ethics). The guidance of a group of Muslims who want the application of Islamic Shari'a in absolute terms often neglects the inner and ethical dimensions of Islam, namely the aspect of Sufism. In the view of aswaja, this neglect is considered to violate sunnatullah which requires humans to live in harmony and balance .
Sufism is an effort to train the soul with various activities that can free itself from the influence of world life, so as to create noble character and close to Allah SWT . In other words, Sufism is a field ofactivity related to spiritual mental development in order to always be close to God.
The scope of the meaning of Sufism is not just ethics, but also aesthetics, beauty. Sufism is not only trying to create people who live righteously, diligently worship, have good character, but also feel the beauty of life and the joy of worship . Sufism also seeks to answer the essential problem of why people must have good character. If ethics can give birth to a spirit of justice and the ability to respond to everything correctly, Sufism can foster meaning and value, and make the actions and lives of people more broad and rich. It is inversely proportional to the elegant concept of Sufism. Modernity of the times comes complete with all its problems. Various crisis befell human life ranging from social crises, structural crises, to spiritual crises. The morality crisis becomes the most visible thing. Revisited in mid-1997economic crisis hit Indonesian people are caused by weak ethics in national life. Weak ethics really provide opportunities for the rampant practice of corruption, collusion and nepotism (KKN) which then undermines the progress achieved previously. As the results of the PERC survey (Political and Economic Risk Consultacy) located in Hongkong in 2002 and 2006 explained that Indonesia ranked in the corruption score is the highest in Asia with a score of 8.16 (out of a total score of 10).
It is these various factors that require education to play a role , especially Sufism education or also called sufistic education. Sufistic education is expected to be a medium in delivering knowledge and moral improvement among the people so that it will encourage the ethical or moral development of students, so that people are created who not only master religion and general sciences, but also noble .
Based on the above conditions, this paper attempts to explore the urgency of sufistic education or Sufism education amid the modernity of the age with all its probabilities.

Sufism as the study of ways and ways in which Muslims can be as close as possible to Allah SWT in order to obtain a direct relationship with Him, meaning how a person can truly be in His presence (Nasution, 1983). Ibrahim Basyuni classified sufism into 3 types which showed elements, namely: 1) Al-bidayah (stage of Sufism consciousness) , 2) Al-mujahadah ( practical practice of Sufis who is a stage of hard struggle ); and sss3) Al-Madzaqat ( experience in terms of feeling ). Thus, the essence of Sufism is the awareness of the existence of communication and dialogue between the human spirit and the absolute reality (Allah) that can be obtained through several specific efforts.
Associated with the educational context, the basic educational goals are to develop the self-potential of students, both cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. In other languages, there are 3 intelligences in human beings; intellectual, emotional, and spiritual that must be developed through educational steps . The essence of Islamic education is actually a process that is always related to the values of vertical transcendence (ketauhidan). Therefore, the meaning of education is a combination keungg spirituan with cultural ulan. In the sense of putting forward a balance between intellectual, emotional and spiritual.
Islamic learning is divided into two aspects, namely exoteric (lahiriyah) and esoteric (inner) aspects. This esoteric aspect of Islam is what is called sufism. With the weak teaching of esoteric aspects of Islam so far also means that the teaching of Sufism in Islam is still lacking. Whereas should the teachings of Sufism be carried out in a balanced manner with the exoteric aspects of Islam . So that there will be balanced and perfect Muslim individuals, they will not only grow and develop to master Islam and general science, but will also be noble.

Age Modernity
Modernity is an adjective of modernization. Modernization is an inevitable process that occurs in all countries in the world, including developing countries. The purpose of modernization is the creation of humans and modern society.
Deliar Noer mentions the characteristics of modern society as follows: 1) Rational, that is, prioritizing the opinion of the mind rather than emotional opinions. Before doing the work always be considered first for the loss, and the work is logically considered beneficial; 2 ) Thinking for a more distant future , not only thinking about problems that are momentary, but always seen in the social damfurther. ; 3 ) Appreciate time, which is always seeing that time is something that is very valuable and needs to be used as well as possible; 4) Be open, ie willing to accept suggestions, input, both in the form of criticism, ideas and improvements wherever they come; and 5) Objective thinking, which is seeing everything from its functions and uses to society.

The same thing was expressed by Said Aqil Siraj (2006), in this modern era, various crises befall human life from social crisis, structural crisis, to spiritual crisis. And it all comes down to the question of the meaning of human life. Modernity with all technological advances and the rapid industrialization make people lose their orientation.
