Aurad Muhammadiyah refers to a collection of Islamic litanies, invocations, and supplications associated with the Muhammadiyah tariqa, a Sufi order founded by Muhammad bin Abdullah As-Suhaimi. These litanies are practised by followers as a means of spiritual purification, fostering a closer relationship with Allah, and invoking blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad. The recitation of Aurad Muhammadiyah is considered an essential part of the daily spiritual life of the tariqa's adherents.
Content
[edit]The Aurad Muhammadiyah typically includes the following elements, although variations may exist depending on local practices:
- Quranic Verses: Selected verses from the Quran are recited as part of the litanies. Commonly included are Surah Al-Fatiha, Ayat Al-Kursi (Quran 2:255), and chapters such as Surah Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Nas.
- Tahlil (La ilaha illallah): The proclamation "La ilaha illallah" ("There is no deity but Allah") is frequently repeated, emphasizing Islamic monotheism. This form of *dhikr* (remembrance) is used for spiritual reflection and purification.
- Salawat (Blessings on the Prophet Muhammad): Various forms of *salawat*, including *Salawat Ibrahimiyyah*, are recited to invoke peace and blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad. These prayers are considered a way of seeking divine favor.
- Tasbih (Glorification of Allah): Phrases such as "Subhanallah" (Glory be to Allah), "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah), and "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is the Greatest) are recited to glorify and praise Allah. These phrases are common in many Islamic devotional practices.
- Istighfar (Seeking Forgiveness): The phrase *Astaghfirullah* ("I seek forgiveness from Allah") is recited to express repentance and seek divine forgiveness.
- Du'as (Supplications): Personal supplications are made to seek Allah's guidance, mercy, and protection. These du'as can be general or specific, based on the traditions of the Muhammadiyah tariqa.
- Zikir (Remembrance of Allah): Repetitive invocations of Allah’s name, known as *zikir*, are performed as part of the spiritual exercise. These invocations are typically recited rhythmically, either individually or in group settings, to maintain continuous awareness of God.
Practice
[edit]The recitation of Aurad Muhammadiyah can take place individually or in groups and is often performed after daily prayers or during special religious occasions. The practice is intended to help adherents achieve inner peace, spiritual growth, and a deeper connection with the divine. The specific structure of the litanies is passed down through the teachings of the Muhammadiyah tariqa and is central to its spiritual framework.
The Aurad Muhammadiyah continues to be practiced by followers of the Muhammadiyah tariqa in various parts of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Its emphasis on personal devotion and remembrance of Allah reflects the broader goals of Sufi spirituality in Islam.
