ABSTRACT
The researcher argues that KH Muhammad Ali Shodiqin or Gus Ali Gondrong, a chairperson of Roudotun Ni’mah Islamic boarding school in
Semarang, can be used as an inspiration source to give counseling to Muslim
clients with sholawat as sufistic counseling. His Islamic
boarding school becomes famous not due to
sholawat mafia, but because he is preaching in a way appropriate for youth. The
figure of Gus Ali is loved by young people and most of them are street
children, “naughty” children, and
hoodlums. Gus Ali’s pupils or Santri is also not ordinary children born to
ordinary families, but they are “extraordinary” kids, since they can get out of the dark society
covering them. Most santris are hoodlums, thugs, ex-gambler,
ex-drunkards, and even ex-prostitutes. Everyone receives guidance from Allah
SWT so that they can be educated at Roudlotun Ni’mah Islamic boarding school. This may sound quite weird for common people, since
the word “Mafia” stands for unifying
mind and heart into Sholawat. It is expected that the followers will love to do
sholawat, and do sholawat continuously and full of self-consciousness. Members
of this community come from various life backgrounds; among them are the youth and ex-thugs. It is hoped
that this youngster style sholawat group can attract many people, especially
the youth. Thus, young people have a good habit by joining shalawat.
