Fundamental Management in the Tariqah Institution: A Preliminary Survey

Management is a process that involves individuals and groups working together to achieve specific goals within an organisation.In its early development, management was considered one of the disciplines within Islamic knowledge.This is evidenced by several verses in the Qur'an that address matters related to management, organisation, and administration.Over time, management evolved into various forms, including a distinct Islamic management framework.The institution of the arqah (Sufi order) is also regarded as an organisational entity with specific components that serve as key drivers of its growth and continuity.This study aims to explore the concept of Islamic management by focusing on the fundamental management elements practised within arqah institutions.This research adopts a qualitative approach, employing document analysis as the main method of data collection, by referring to primary and secondary sources.The findings indicate that the arqah functions as an organised institution with a well-structured management system, enabling it to sustain and expand continuously from its inception to the present day.
