Abstract

This study aims to reveal the role of the Idrisiyah Order of Tasikmalaya, one of the leading Sufi orders in Indonesia. This order has developed from the zawiyah tradition as a centre for spiritual and social cultivation, emphasising the values of mahabbah (compassion), tasamuh (tolerance), and ukhuwah insaniyah (human fraternity). In the contemporary era, the order has adopted social media platforms for religious outreach, spiritual guidance, and the promotion of moderate religious literacy. Through a historical and sociological analysis, this study finds that the order’s digitalisation expands its spiritual networks, disseminates peace-oriented messages, and helps counter religious hoaxes and hate speech. Nonetheless, this process encounters challenges, including limited digital literacy, cultural resistance, and tensions between traditional spiritual authority and emerging digital authority. This study argues that the Idrisiyah model offers for embedding Sufi ethical principles within an inclusive and promoting peaceful digital citizenship in Indonesia.
