“Love and Affection are the most beautiful flowers in the garden of life.”

Preface

Sufism is mystical and spiritual side of Islam. It focuses on the twin and mutually complimentary themes of love and luminosity-the core of Islamic mysticism. Naturally, notes of tolerance and ‘Suleh-e-kul’ (equal respect and peace for all creeds predominate.)

Islam means peace and total surrender to the all-enveloping Eternal Being Allah. The belief is that Adam is created by Allah with four elements and Eve from his rib. Due to their disobedience of Allah’s command they were thrown to earth. They were to dwell for a time on earth and their soul would return to Allah purified and enlightened by a process of self-purification. Their progeny has been in search for their own self and for peace. Great Prophets have come with their teachings. After
a period of time, after Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him), emerged the subject ‘Irfan’ or ‘Taawwuf’ popularised by western scholars as ‘Sufism’. The Saints and eminent Sufis wrote treatises, books and their lectures were recorded. So also their lengthy letters preserved.

This book ‘Sufism’ comprises of articles, lectures, interviews, correspondence, collection of Sufi Wisdom from great works of Sufis and selected Divine Poems penned by the author. This book attempts to introduce the subject of Irfan to the lay readers.
