Abstract
The study of Sufistic psychotherapy using the ma'rifat method is important, considering that such Sufistic psychotherapy is rarely mentioned in several studies. Even though the concept of ma'rifat is not a new thing in the scientific discourse of Sufism. This study will be read using an interpretive phenomenological approach. Gus Ridwan's personal experience regarding Sufistic psychotherapy using the ma'rifat method needs to be explored more deeply. It aims to gain understanding and new meanings in the context of the world of Sufistic psychotherapists. The study of interpretation will be used to complete the explanation of these new meanings. Sufistic psychotherapy treatment is also useful for helping patients to return to the way of Allah, carry out His commands, organize their minds and hearts and be able to behave well in their surroundings. The important point of this study is that as long as the psychotherapist does not give instructions that are outside the Shari'a, then a person is not allowed to have bad thoughts about him. Because the essence of Sufistic psychotherapy is not healing itself but being close to Allah.
