Persian mysticism

Persian mysticism, also known as Sufism, is a spiritual tradition within Islam that seeks a direct, personal experience of the divine. It emphasizes love, inner purification, and spiritual journeying beyond superficial practice to attain union with God. Influenced by poets like Rumi and Islamic teachings, Persian mysticism often uses poetry, music, and meditation to evoke divine presence. It values inner wisdom, humility, and compassion, viewing life as a sacred journey toward understanding and unity with the divine essence. This tradition has deeply enriched Persian culture, blending spirituality with artistic expression and philosophical inquiry.
