Kiyai Ahmad Sahibul Wafa, better known as Abah Anom, is a highly regarded spiritual guide (mursyid) in the Qadiriyah wa Naqsyabandiyah Order (TQN). He has authored numerous works, including the book Miftah al-Sudur, which explores various aspects of TQN teachings. Among the key topics addressed in this book is the concept of repentance (taubat), a central element in the spiritual journey of the order's followers. Although Miftah al-Sudur discusses repentance, its approach is not systematically organized and tends to be repetitive. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze Abah Anom's teachings on repentance using a qualitative method, particularly through document analysis. The primary source for this study is the book Miftah al-Sudur, supplemented by references from the works of renowned Islamic scholars (ulama muktabar) to assess the alignment of these teachings. The findings reveal that Abah Anom’s teachings on repentance encompass three main aspects,the call to repentance, the importance of repentance and the essence of repentance This study concludes that Abah Anom's teachings on repentance align with the perspectives of esteemed Islamic scholars. His approach revitalizes the classical understanding of repentance, making it practical and accessible for his followers. The outcomes of this study are expected to deepen the understanding of repentance as conveyed by Abah Anom, offering valuable insights for students and scholars alike. Moreover, it contributes to the enrichment of Islamic scholarship, particularly in the fields of Sufism and the study of spiritual orders (tarekat).
