Abstract

Several This research aims to understand and analyze the Tawassul and Tabarruk Traditions at the Aulia Gunungpring Grave. Aulia Gunungpring Tomb is a burial complex located in the Gunungpring area, Muntilan, Magelang. One of the most famous figures is Kyai Raden Santri who was the older brother of Sultan Agung (the first king of Islamic Mataram). Kyai Raden Santri is one of the Islamic preachers on the island of Java, especially the Kedu residency area. He contributed a lot to the spread of Islam on the island of Java. Because of his services, he was buried on the Gunungpring hill. The tomb is often visited by pilgrims from various regions. On average, pilgrims come to perform tawassul and tabarruk. Tawassul is a prayer request to Allah through an intermediary by mentioning the names of prophets, friends, saints and pious people in the hope that the prayers offered will be answered. Meanwhile Tabarruk is the hope of blessings from these pious people. This research uses a qualitative approach with an inductive method, namely analyzing data from field research results by drawing specific data and then drawing more general conclusions. This research concludes that the Tawassul and Tabarruk traditions of pilgrimage have several values in Islamic education. Namely: (1) Faith Values, (2) Exemplary Values, (3) Moral Values and (4) Worship Values.
