This research aims to (a) discover the rationality of the values of local wisdom which is found in the teachings of the order (tarekat) of Shidiqiyah which has motivated the emergence of a strong spirit of entrepreneurship; (b) to explain how wealth is understood in the Shidiqiyah order; (c) to explain the behavior of the business agents of the members of the Shidiqiyah order in their effort to acquire wealth. The findings of this research shows that: (1) the strong spirit of entrepreneurship in the Shidiqiyah order is closely related to the the eight vows of willingness of the members of Shidiqiyah order, the teaching of the unity of faith and humanity, and the culture of charity, giving and maintenance of communication.
