This thesis is a study of the mystical thought of Muhammad Nafis al-Banjari an Indonesian sufi of the eighteenth century, based on his treatise "al-Durr al-Nafis". After introducing the background of the topic, the thesis investigates the life and the religious education of Muhammad Nafis. The thesis then analyzes the concepts of Martabat Tujuh, Tawhid, and the light of Muhammad. This thesis also attempts to compare Nafis' mystical concepts with those of other sufis, especially from the Sammaniyya order. This will lead us to the conclusion that Nafis' ideas are very close to Burhanfuris doctrine of Martabat Tujuh.
