Abstract

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.
