| Sample Text | Sufism or tasawwuf (Arabic: تصوّف) is defined by its followers as the inner, mystical aspect of Islam. A person who practices this tradition is usually called a Sufi (صُوفِيّ). The classical scholars of Sufism defined this practice as a science whose goal is to bring the heart into the right state and turn away from everything else but God. On the other hand, in the words of the Sufi teacher of the Darkawi order, Ahmad ibn Ajib, "the science by which a person can learn how to travel to the presence of the divine, cleanse his inner being of dirt and beautify it with a whole series of praiseworthy actions." Classical Sufis were distinguished by their tendency to dhikr (practices of repeating the names of God) and asceticism. Sufism gained a large following among Muslims in response to the secularism of the Umayyad Caliphate in its early period (661-750). Year of publication: 1760. |
