Sufism
Sufism (Arabic: tasawwuf) is the mystical view and the inner dimension of Islam. For sufis themselves it means the complete religion, the realisation of devotion to God, the experience of love in the heart. The word sufism derives from the Arabic word for 'pure' (safa). In addition to the Islamic way of life, sufi followers engage with practices and prayers for the purification of the heart and improving one's character (adab). The loving guidance of the sheikh (the spiritual master) provides for certitude and clarity on the sufi way (tariqa). Thus, the follower experiences the appropriate challenges and adolescence in due time.
Sufism starts with the Prophet Muhammad saws*. The love of and relatedness to Muhammad saws* and his family constitute the foundation of the sufi path, holding some secret for those searching this way. The early times, sufism centered around scholars such as Junaid, Rabbia, Ibn Arabi and others. Since the 12th century sufi orders emerged (turuq) of which many are still prosperous today. All sufis have in common the exercise of dhikr (remembrance of God) which may be practiced through individual meditation or collectively during the hadra. The dhikr opens the heart for the love and the experience of God's presence .
*saws or (s) is the abbreviation of salla-allahu alaihi wa sallim. This is the salutation for the Prophet Muhammad.
