| description | Futuwwa or a brotherhood is one of the important social institutions in the Islamic civilization. Although many
historians assumed that it has originated from the Persian military organization, it was later known that many
of the characteristics of being a part of futuwwa such as generosity, truthfulness, self-sacrificing, hospitality,
hardworking had all its roots in the Qurʼān and Sunnah of Prophet Mohammad (SAW) and his beloved
Companions. We will delineate briefly a background history of the connection of futuwwa with its Persian roots,
and later it was developed and systematized further to be part of the Sūfī institution, and functioned as an
influential social institution either in the education and training of acquiring various skills and craftsmanship
and contributing towards a thriving local economy, or as an outgoing and influential Sūfī institution in defending
and propagating Islam.
Futuwwa atau persaudaraan adalah salah satu institusi sosial yang penting dalam tamadun Islam. Walaupun
ramai ahli sejarah menganggap bahawa ia telah berasal dari organisasi tentera Parsi, dan ia kemudiannya
diketahui kebanyakan ciri-cirinya adalah sebahagian daripada futuwwa seperti kemurahan hati, kebenaran, rela
berkorban, layanan yang baik, rajin yang berpunca daripada Al-Qur'an dan Sunnah Nabi Muhammad (SAW)
dan sahabat-sahabat Nabi. Gambaran secara sejarah ringkas latar belakang kaitan futuwwa dengan salur-galur
Parsi, dan pembangunan dan sistematik yang menjadi sebahagian daripada institusi Sufi, dan berfungsi sebagai
sebuah institusi sosial yang berpengaruh sama ada dalam pendidikan atau latihan untuk memperoleh pelbagai
kemahiran dan ketukangan yang menyumbang kepada ekonomi tempatan yang berkembang maju, atau sebagai
sebuah institusi Sufi yang mesra dan berpengaruh dalam mempertahankan dan menyebarkan Islam. |
