Abstract

The concept of dhikr according to Ahmad Khatib Sambas, a prominent scholar from Kalimantan and the founder of the Qadiriyah wa Naqsyabandiyah order in the Malay Archipelago, plays a highly significant role in strengthening spirituality and shaping a resilient character. Dhikr, in his perspective, is not merely understood as a verbal ritual of worship, but rather as a process of internalizing spiritual values that guide individuals toward inner peace, mental clarity, and a profound closeness to Allah SWT. This study aims to examine the understanding of dhikr according to Ahmad Khatib Sambas and to analyze its contribution to enhancing individual resilience in facing the dynamics of life. Using a qualitative approach through literature review and descriptive analysis, this research finds that the consistent practice of dhikr, performed with awareness and sincerity, can provide spiritual tranquility, reduce psychological pressure, and strengthen mental endurance. The findings also emphasize that dhikr serves as an effective instrument to cultivate patience, optimism, and positive hope amid life’s challenges. Thus, it can be concluded that dhikr, according to Ahmad Khatib Sambas, is not only an act of worship but also a method of spiritual development that remains relevant in building a resilient, steadfast, and transcendental value-oriented personality.
