Abstract

Several reasons for the need for character education, including many Muslims are still far from character values, due to weak awareness of moral values, providing moral values to the ummah is one of the most important functions of civilization, the role of dhikr as a character educator becomes increasingly important when many people get little moral teaching from parents, society, or religious institutions, there are still moral values that are universally accepted such as attention, trust, respect, and responsibility, democracy has a special need for moral education because democracy is a rule of, for and by society, there is nothing as a value-free education. Religious leaders have done a lot to change the character of this ummah, one of which is by practicing dhikr through tariqat as a means of spiritual enlightenment. It can be concluded that dhikr is the awareness of Muslims as creatures of Allah who are obliged to remember Him both in the tongue, heart, and spirit as well as thinking in an Islamic manner and acting according to Islamic law, whether he is standing, sitting, lying down, or doing something else. This awareness becomes the "spirit" of every action of a Muslim.. Keywords: Practice, Dhikr, Character Building, Jamaah Parsulukan.
