The Role of Husband and Wife Relations in Family of Qodiriyah wa Naqsyabandiyah Tarekat in Depok City (Study of Social Construction and Islamic Family Law)

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role and relationship of husband and wife in the family of Qodiriyah wa Naqsyabandiyah (TQN) congregation in Depok City, and to analyze it from the perspective of social construction and Islamic Family Law (HKI). The main focus of this study is to explore how the spiritual values ​​of the tarekat influence the division of roles, communication, and harmony in the household, and how these are in line with or contradict the principles in HKI. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with a field research type. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation of several TQN congregation families in Depok City. The analysis was conducted descriptively-critically through the perspective of Peter L. Berger's social construction theory and the norms of Islamic jurisprudence in Islamic Family Law. The results of the study indicate that the relationship between husband and wife in the TQN congregation family tends to be formed by collective spiritual values ​​that emphasize Sufism, obedience, and inner equality. The husband is positioned as a spiritual leader as well as a moral role model, while the wife has a central role in maintaining household harmony through a spiritual approach. This practice shows a synthesis between the values ​​of the tarekat and the principles of IPR, such as deliberation, justice, and shared responsibility. The conclusion of this study is that the tarekat is not only an individual's spiritual path, but also forms a harmonious and religious family relationship structure, which is relevant to the values ​​of Islamic Family Law. This finding indicates that the spirituality of the tarekat can be a source of renewal in the approach to building a sakinah family in urban society.
