About
Sufism
:
Islamic mystical tradition seeking direct experience of divine love through spiritual practices, poetry, and ecstatic worship. Sufism emphasizes purification of the heart, remembrance of God (dhikr), and guidance from enlightened masters within established orders (tariqas). This path combines rigorous spiritual discipline with passionate devotion, often expressed through whirling, sacred music, and mystical poetry. Sufi practitioners seek fana (spiritual annihilation in God) while maintaining Islamic orthodox practice, creating synthesis of law and mystical experience.
