There are many types of longhouses in Borneo, a typology not found in many other parts of the world. Longhouses differ in that they house up to 60 different extended families under the one roof. They also have similar spatial and functional attributes, construction and materials. The “Austronesian house” has 3 main attributes: being raised off the ground by piles, large often saddleback roofs and clearly hierarchical plans and sections. Uways is theīorneo longhouses are geographically located within the Austronesian language region, and their architectures share much with the “Austronesian house”. This kind of mursyid reminds us the concept of uwaysiyah in classical Islamic literature. There is no chain of transmission of mystical knowledge from a special mursyid to him. Mursyid (Ar: murshi> d) of this tarekat refers to a person named Suprapto Kadis, who experienced the absence of an outward mursyid (lahiriah), but received direct guidance from Allah. Most of the followers of this tarekat come from young and educated among urban people in Bandung. This article depicts a close look at of Tarekat Kadisiyyah, an example of the neo-tarekats, located in central Bandung city of West Java. The emergence of these so-called neo-tarekats (neo-sufi mystical orders) introduced rational reference to the sacred texts and Islamic law and rejected the close association between tarekats and the veneration of saints and holy places as generally known as silsilah in the old version of tarekats. At present, several tarekats surfaced in the urban centers of Indonesia and continued to perform as a vehicle of social and cultural cohesion.
