Synopsis

What is Sufism? Reaching true belief in God's Divine Oneness and living in accordance with its demands; heeding the Divine Speech (the Qur'an), discerning and then obeying the commands of the Divine Power and will as they relate to the universe (the laws of creation and life); overflowing with divine Love and getting along with all other beings in the realisation (originating from divine Love) that the universe is a cradle of brotherhood; giving preference or precedence to the well-being and happiness of others; being open to love, spiritual places and associating with people who encourage the avoidance of sin and striving in the way of God; being content with permitted pleasures, and not taking even a single step toward that which is not permitted; and struggling continuously against worldly ambitions and illusions, which lead us to believe that this world is eternal.
