The Mystic Education of Ulama Approaching the Collapse of Islamic Authority in Andalusia

Ulama mystic education is a movement of spiritual awareness change that was promoted by Islamic mystics who had played a role in the mission of mental reconstruction in Andalusia, but no studies have been found that portray their significant role before the collapse of Islamic authority there. Islamic mystics always play a role in the process of transmitting spiritual values in conflicting Islamic territories. This study intends to understand how Islamic mysticism in Andalusia developed by Abu al-Abbas Ibn al-‘Arif, Abu al-Hakam Ibn Barrajan and Ibn ‘Arabi can be accepted by the local community in the formation of socio-religious through mystical education through Islamic political decline there. This qualitative data is based on literature review and field data from the Islamic Islamic Boarding School in Paya Bili, the Islamic Boarding School in Lhoksukon and the Islamic Boarding School Ma'had ulum diniyah Islamiyah in Samalanga obtained through observation, interviews and participants. The results of the study show that Islam as a socio-political force in Andalusia, was presented by an Islamic military commander Thariq bin Ziyad of the Moors from Morocco in 711 AD, therefore Islam was not initially developed by the local community. Although Islamic politics in Andalusia continued to decline, but through Islamic mystical education, the doctrine succeeded in leaving an extraordinary influence on the development of Islamic mysticism to become a mystical doctrine that has a strong influence in the East and West to this day.
