INTRODUCTION
Salawat can be interpreted as prayer (SR, 2003).One of the Salawat activists Habib Abdullah Assegaf defines Salawat with three meanings; first, mercy, which is a form of to the Messenger of Allah.Third, Salawat means prayer, which is the Salawat of the people to the Prophet Muhammad who expects mercy and glory from him.Habib Assegaf further explained that the recitation of Salawat is carried out as an expression of gratitude for the sacrifice and struggle of the Prophet Muhammad who has led to the path of Allah (Assegaf, 2009, p. 2).
The Salawat ritual is presented in various forms in order to attract people to say Salawat to the Prophet Muhammad SAW.For example, by establishing Salawat assemblies with various innovations.The presence of Salawat congregations has a strong appeal to the community about the importance of the role of Salawat to the Prophet (Mawardi, 2009).In the archipelago, there are various types of Salawat rituals performed by the community.
Such as the existence of musical accompaniment when chanting Salawat to the Prophet Muhammad SAW.Salawat is not only used as a ritual of worship but has become a culture to spread Islam widely.In Indonesia, the recitation of Salawat is not only found in the rooms of mosques, assemblies, and recitations, but recitation of Salawat is also found in community religious activities, such as tasyakuran events, maulid Nabi, or other Islamic religious celebrations.
Salawat has become a habit of the Muslim community as a form of longing for the Rasulullah PBUH.The delivery of Salawat which is more fervent and has become a daily ritual is by the congregation led by Habib Umar Rofiq bin Ali Al bin Hamid.If you look at the beginning of this majlis, there is not much difference with majlis in other places.
However, in its implementation, it has its own advantages, which is that this assembly instills Sufism values with literary language combined with divine tenderness and tafakur for creation of the universe (Abdillah, 2022).If examined more deeply, this approach is similar to the Sufi tradition of listening to music (sama') as a medium to get closer to God.
Considering the widespread recitation of Salawat by the Indonesian people and the uniqueness of the method carried out by the congregation of Jalsatul Itsnain Baa Alawy Assembly, it finally sparked researchers to conduct research that specifically discusses Salawat as a method of soul tranquility.This research in detail and in-depth analyzes Salawat Adhiya Ulami at Majelis Jalsatul Itsnain Baa Alawy in Bandung Regency.No.132, Sangkanhurip, Kec.Katapang, Bandung.He is also active in giving recitations at the Bandung Grand Mosque, West Java.As for his daily activities as a teacher at the Al-Ihsan Baa'alawy Islamic boarding school, he is also active in filling invitations to recitations held by the people of West Java (Rofiq, 2022).

Assembly
The issue of Sufism is still debated among Muslims.Many think that Sufism is a cult/movement that was heretical after the period of the Prophet Muhammad.They think that Sufism is not a product of Islam but a flow that can harm Muslims.In line with that, modern society also has the same view.According to them, Sufism is an ancient sect that does not want to take advantage of the glittering world with the sophistication that exists today.So modern society slowly leaves the path of Sufism because it is happy to compete in reaching the wealth of the world.They think that real happiness is to get an abundance of wealth.This is due to the misunderstanding of the people in interpreting Sufism (Bagir, 2005).
Historically, Sufism was born in the third century Hijri (Syukur, 2004).In interpreting Sufism, experts differ in opinion.The term Sufism is connoted to the term ahlu suffah, a group of people at the time of the Prophet Muhammad, who sat on the porches of the mosque to devote their lives to Allah (Anwar, 2004).There are also those who interpret that Sufism comes from the word saff, which is attributed to people who are in the front row during prayer.Another opinion says the origin of Sufism is from the word al-shafa which means pure and clean.This means that the Sufis main goal is to cleanse the soul from sin and everything other than God.Meanwhile, Sufism also comes from the word suf, which is wool or fleece.This gives the understanding that Sufis do not wear fine clothes, but clothes that cover enough of the material made of coarse wool and show their simplicity (Romdon, 1995).According to Makruf al-Khurkhi, Sufism is the tendency of the soul towards its longing for God.So as to try to get closer to Him (Simuh, 1999).
Meanwhile, according to Nur Samad Kamba, tasawwuf is Islam itself, Tasawwuf and Islam are a complete unity and cannot be separated from one another (Setiawan et al., 2022).
Although there are different opinions in defining Sufism, the purpose of all Sufis is the same, namely an effort to purify the soul and always get closer to God.So that it can feel consciously the presence and greatness of God in its life.
In the view of the Jalsatul Itsnain Baa Alawy assembly, Sufism is an effort to control the lust that always has the ambition to continue to compete for a lot of wealth in the world.Humans are too busy with the pleasures of the world, then underestimate spiritual activities that are considered as ancient religious traditions.They think that the obligation to worship is just to worship without exploring the real meaning.Most Muslims today are satisfied with ready-made interpretations of religion.In addition to this, humans who live today certainly find it difficult to control their desires from various things around them.He imagines getting advantages from various aspects of the world.So that lust is able to control it which can eventually lead to a trap (Rofiq, 2022).
