Sufi Islam

Sufi Islam is a mystical branch of Islam that emphasizes the inner, spiritual aspect of the faith. Sufis seek a direct, personal experience of God through practices like meditation, chanting (dhikr), and poetry. They focus on love, devotion, and the purification of the heart to achieve closeness to the Divine. Sufism transcends cultural boundaries and often involves schools or orders, each with its unique traditions. Sufi teachings often highlight the importance of selflessness, compassion, and understanding the deeper meanings of Islamic texts, aiming for a transformative experience of unity with God and all creation.
