| Resources on Sufism | | | | Sufism The fundamental tenets of the Sufis are that nothing exists absolutely but God, that the human soul is in emanation from His essence, and though divided for a time from its heavenly source, will be finally reunited with it; that the highest possible happiness will arise from its reunion, and that the chief good of mankind in this transitory world consists in a perfect union with the Eternal Spirit.
For this purpose the Sufis should break all connection (ta’alluq) with extrinsic objects, and pass through life without attachments, as a swimmer in the ocean strikes freely without clothes. If merely earthly charms have power to influence the soul, the idea of celestial beauty must overwhelm it in ecstatic delight. The Sufis… suppose with great sublimity both of thought and diction, an express contract, on the day of eternity without beginning, between the assemblage of created spirits and the supreme soul, from which they were detached, when a celestial voice pronounced these words, addressed to each spirit separately, “Art thou not with thy Lord?” and all the spirits answered with one voice, “Yes”.

The history of Sufism can be divided into the following principal periods:
Sufism - Origins.
According to the history of Sufism as told by Sufi masters themselves, Sufism began as a hidden or esoteric teaching of the Prophet Muhammad during his 23 year prophetic career. Almost all traditional Sufi schools or orders trace their orgins or "chains of transmission" back to the Prophet Muhammad, either through his cousin and son-in-law Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib or through his friend Abu Bakr. From their point of v ...

Sufism - Traditional orders.
The traditional Sufi orders all emphasize the role of Sufism within Islam. Therefore the Sharia (tradional Islamic law) and the Sunnah (customs of the Prophet) are seen as crucial for any Sufi aspirant. Among the oldest and most well known of the Sufi orders are the Shadhili, Jerrahi, Qadiri, Naqshbandi, Mevlevi, Chishti and the Ashrafi. One proof traditional orders assert is that almost all the famous Sufi masters of the Islamic Caliphate times were also experts in Sharia and were re ...

| | |  Sufism: Identity And Form - A Sufi View " The only thing necessary for evil to triumph ", wrote Edmund Burke, " is for good men to do nothing ". It is gratifying that in the midst of religious violence in the country many voices of resistance and sanity are being raised. The focus of this movement is promotion of tolerance and respect for diversity. However, I think something needs to be added to the "literary debate" about Islam, Hinduism and the problem of religious intolerance - namely, insight into the human mind's attachment to identity and fear of its loss.

Different View Of Islam SufismA Different View Of Islam & Sufism For Anne-Marie Schimmel, Islam was a lifelong passion, as deep as her own roots in the Lutheran faith. Church rituals were as dear to her as bowing in prayer at Sufi shrines. Sitting in Bonn she dreamed of Bijapur and Bidar, talked of her friend Allan Fakir in Sindh and brooded over the problem of selecting a site for her burial in Sindh. This gentle woman, renowned scholar of Sufism, passed away in Germany recently. As gently as she had lived. Read more here: » Islam Sufism: A
