Contribution of sufism trilogy in the formation of religious behavior: a proposed model

Sufism is teachings that can play a significant role in shaping one’s religious behavior. Studies of Sufism and the Sufi behaviors have been carried out extensively, yet generally by their domains. This article is presented
to fill this gap by offering the logic and the mechanism by which ‘Irfani, Philosophical, Moral Sufism (Sufism Trilogy) shape individual religious behavior. This paper focuses on three main discussions. First, the Sufism Trilogy’s underlying concept was discussed based mainly on the founders of Sufism’s work. Second, it delineates the orientation and goals of the Sufism Trilogy to depict their similarities and differences. Third, it proposes a model of
the Sufism Trilogy contribution to the formation of human religious behavior. The study concludes that despite seemingly having different orientations and goals, Sufism Trilogy ends with the same purpose: to get close to and be with God; hence adherence to only one dimension of Sufism would sway one from being real closeness to God. Then, the trilogy of Sufism with these three approaches turns out to be able to make a social contribution in society, namely
with the purity of one's heart can see everything the same so as not to feel higher than others, with a mind that is always used to think able to form an advanced mindset and committed to fostering progress and civilization with togetherness, with noble behavior (morals) can unite relationships between individuals, so that social can establish togetherness and unity in the midst of differences.
