Abstract
The aim of this essay is to reveal the understanding relating to esoteric and exoteric dimension of Islam. There has been a misunderstanding among some Muslims between the exoteric of rituals or syariah and the esoteric dimension of tasawwuf or mysticism in Islam. Those who give more attention to exoteric dimension regarded the esoteric of no great concern and even sometimes have departed from the Islamic teachings. For those who support the esoteric dimension, however, considered the exoteric is needed no more, because human had been able to reveal the mystery of God. Ideally, the exoteric and esoteric dimensions are inseparable. Both of which are an integrated part of Islamic tenets. The author concludes that the esoteric dimension of tasawwuf is needed by human being so that equilibrium can be maintained in facing their life and will give more spiritual impetus in understanding the deemed rigid and wither syariah.
