Abstract


The current of modernization has a negative effect on modern society. One of them is to make people forget that they are servants of Allah Swt. and stay away from the spiritual life. One of the most important aspects of the formation of morality is spirituality. Recently, field facts show that the more advanced an era is, the more backward a religion is. This article discusses how modernization affects spiritual life and how important it is to maintain a balance between spirituality and modernization. Where modernization is considered the cause of modern society not having spirituality. The concept of Sufism by Abu Yazid Al-Busthami emerged as a solution. This article analyzes the main aspects of Sufism from the figure and at the same time emphasizes the role of Sufism in helping people find meaning in a life that is increasingly secular and distorted by spiritual values. This is a qualitative research based on the library approach. This study concludes that the concept of Sufism Abu Yazid Al-Busthami is needed by modern humans because mortals, baqa and ittihad are the best alternative solutions to fill the inner void of modern humans caused by human progress that causes humans to lose their existence.
