The study indicates that <em>dhikr </em>is a substantially mandatory ritual that must be performed by the followers of the <em>tarekat</em>. At this point, they interpret the meaning of <em>dhikr</em> within various arguments. The <em>tarekat</em> members who reached what so-called the level of <em>tawhīd ‘aqīdah</em> argue that <em>dhikr </em>is an important matter which brings about positive energy and leads its performers to discover true religious spirituality. They believe that positive energy becomes a significantly determinant factor and it has relevance to solve the problems of daily life. On the other side, the <em>tarekat</em> members who have reached the level of <em>tawḥ</em><em>ī</em><em>d </em><em>ṣū</em><em>fī</em> interpret <em>dhikr</em> as a spiritual obligation that orients its performers to lovingness and intimacy with God. To the urban society of Gorontalo <em>dhikr</em> is viewed as a <em>mindset</em> that emphasizes that within spiritually sacred realm, on one hand, <em>dhikr</em> provides a positive indication that is coherently compatible with the profane reality of their life on the other.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Teosofi: Jurnal Tasawuf dan Pemikiran Islam}, author={Rahmawati, Rahmawati and Yahiji, Kasim and Mustakimah, Mustakimah}, year={2018}, month={Dec.}, pages={325–350} }
