This study examines the pedagogical dimensions of Sufistic education through a comprehensive analysis of the Qur'anic narrative of Prophet Musa's encounter with Prophet Khidir (Surah Al-Kahf, verses 65-82). Employing Sufistic hermeneutics and structural narrative analysis, this research identifies five cardinal principles underlying the murshid-murid (spiritual teacher-student) teaching methodology: (1) experiential learning through direct immersion, (2) patience (sabr) as the epistemological foundation, (3) systematic deconstruction of intellectual preconceptions, (4) gradual transformative understanding (tadrij), and (5) complete spiritual surrender (taslim) to the teacher's authority. Our findings reveal that Khidir's pedagogical approach embodies a paradigmatic Sufistic educational framework that prioritizes inner transformation through the dismantling of conventional epistemological structures. This study's theoretical contribution lies in bridging classical Islamic mystical pedagogy with contemporary educational discourse, offering a holistic model that integrates esoteric dimensions within the learning process. These findings have significant implications for developing authentic Islamic educational models that balance rational inquiry with spiritual cultivation, particularly relevant for contemporary pesantren education and global Islamic learning institutions seeking to maintain traditional wisdom while engaging with modern pedagogical challenges
