Abstract

The existence of sufism has created communities that focus on one goal, achieving the closest state to God. Such community is called Tarekat Society. The society has developed a network from teachers to students in the form of organization and movement in a global scale to preserve teachings and rituals from their tarekat leader (sheikh).

 The emergence of tarekat society requires a construction of code of conduct within communities as the guiding principles of their lives about ways to reach the final goal to achieve the closest state to God.

 Tarekat society is a unique phenomenon as it is based on a transcendental aspect. Therefore, is a worth researching from anthropological perspective, especially in the field of law to investigate rules that are built by the tarekat society.

 The investigation of law in an anthropological perspective is not merely based on normative law or a law dimension focusing on repeated patterns of behavior that emerges from common law and cultural issues of human behavior related to legal problems. Therefore, to understand laws in a tarekat society we need to conduct holistic investigations on rules and norms as foundations for tarekat society.
