Shariat (Law) and Tariqat (Way) are not his aims or objectives and they are not the essential but only the details, symbols and ways. It does not care about the Catechism except enough knowledge for performing the worship. Sufism does not deal with the Canonical Law and Jurisprudence. To know the Absolute Existence is to fall in love with this Absolute Beauty. Sufis know that Allah is the essence of Man (Human) and nature. “He who knows himself (his essence) knows God.”īriefly, Sufism is the Knowledge of Allah, Wisdom and Love.
Sufis try to live this knowledge, order, wisdom and beauties in nature and see the physical and spiritual beauties in human and learn the divine realities of them. He is the most superior of all the worlds because he is the synthesis of the inner and outer worlds. Nature is the work of Allah and Man is the greatest work of Him, because he is consisted of a body and Spirit (Mind).
The beauty, order and wisdom in nature are the reflections of Allah on the nature. Sufism tries to teach Allah, Nature, Man and the realities of them. It is not interested in the exterior aspects, rules and canonical laws, shortly in details. Religious interpretation of the Sufis is the most appropriate for Islam because Sufism is the teaching of the essence of religion. The problem is to choose the most proper one for the essence of religion. SUFISM IS THE ESSENCE - KERNEL- OF RELIGIONĪs it is known, every scholar has interpreted religion according to himself, from his point of view.
