The Importance and Need of Education and Training in the View of Qadiri Sufis

Abstract

This research article explores the educational and spiritual contributions of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani Baghdadi (470-561 AH) and the revered spiritual leaders of the Qadiriyya order. Like other prominent Islamic movements, the Qadiriyya order emphasizes the critical role of education and training (ta'leem wa tarbiyyat) in shaping individuals and society according to Islamic teachings. The Qadiri Sufis are particularly distinguished for their dedication to education, intellectual development, and spiritual refinement. This study highlights the key educational philosophies and training practices advocated by the Qadiri Sufis, drawing insights from the Quranic verses and the Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). Furthermore, it examines the theoretical frameworks and practical initiatives undertaken by this order to enhance personal growth and societal welfare. By delving into this analysis, the article demonstrates how the Qadiriyya order has made significant intellectual and spiritual efforts in the realm of education and training, contributing to the broader landscape of Islamic pedagogical traditions.
