This paper explores the role of Salawat Adhiya Ulami in providing peace of mind to the members of
Majelis Jalsatul Itsnain Baa Alawy in Katapang, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. This study employs a
qualitative descriptive method and a phenomenological approach to uncover the life experiences of the
congregation. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using
qualitative analysis techniques. The findings reveal that Salawat Adhiya Ulami encapsulates the life history
of the Prophet Muhammad from birth to death and serves as a medium for expressing the congregation's
longing for the Prophet. The study highlights that, through a Sufistic approach, the act of reciting Salawat
Adhiya Ulami provides a profound sense of inner peace to the congregation, fostering a belief in attaining
husnul khatimah (a good ending) in their lives. This belief is rooted in the Qur’anic verse: “O calm souls,
return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing to Him. Enter among My servants, and enter My
Paradise.” This research contributes to the study of Islamic spirituality by emphasizing the psychological and
spiritual benefits of devotional practices, as well as offering a methodological insight into the use of
phenomenology in exploring religious experiences.
