Sufism
is the pursuit of opening the inner by way of guidance from a
Master who has himself achieved this goal. It promotes values
that control the lower self (Nafs or EGO) in an attempt to awaken
spiritual sense and awareness.
It
makes a good person an exceptional person a perfect person a Saint
who finally realises his destiny in this life is to acknowledge
the existence of Allah through his Messenger The Holy Prophet
Muhammad Peace and blessings be upon him.
The
Sufi Master takes his teachings and passes them onto his Students
who in turn learn and teach others. Sufism is the beating heart
if Islam, the foundation of Islam that compliments the outward
teachings of Islam. The traditional Islamic teachings of Jurisprudence
(Islamic Law) are very much apart of Sufism and as many great
Masters have expressed one cannot exist without the other. The
Inner awakening of ones Spirituality must hold with it the understanding
and practice of the outer Islamic laws. Sufism is merely the foundation
of what makes a Muslim realise who he is, and why he is on this
earth. The awakening of ones inner is the greatest thing Allah
can present as a divine gift to man. Everyone is equal and everyone
is as precious as the next person to Allah.
