Abstract

Adolescents with various accompanying problems such as juvenile delinquency, bulliying, addiction problems, academic problems and so on were real problems of adolescent. One of the factors behind this problem was education in Indonesia which focused on exoteric approach so that the esoteric area in the formation of behavior was untouched. Therefore, research on adolescent salik of Qadiriyah wa Naqsyabandiyah (TQN) sufi order was one of the approaches to answer the problem of adolescent behavior that occurs. The theory for analyzing the amaliyah of TQN of adolescent salik was Hirschi and Gottfredson's theory of behavioral control which is one aspect of self-control. This study tried to find answers related to the behavioral control method of TQN adolescent salik at the Darussalam Islamic Boarding School, Gombong Kebumen. This research approach was phenomenology, which focused on the experiences of adolescent salik towards TQN amaliyah. The main data sources in this study were 12 adolescent salics and a Mursyid of TQN. The data were collected by unstructured interviews and participatory observations method. Based on the data in the field, the determinants of behavior were the saliks themselves. The saliks were independent and free in determining their own behavior. In regulating the stimulus, the saliks suppressed the appearance of lust with dhikr. Another method was omission, this omission was carried out under conditions when there was a stimulus that provokes the lust such as anger lust. This method was applied by all saliks when facing various conditions. The third method of behaviral control was the rejection of a stimulus such as an invitation to behavior that violated the rules or violated religious teachings.
