Mysticism/Sufism (Tasawwuf)

Never taught in the regime of an academic syllabus; what a tragedy! If only the masses knew that 'Islam without Tasawwuf is like a body without a soul' it would change their perception to the role of Islam in their lives.

Modern Tasawwuf is either left to the mercy of Orientalists who have every reason to pervert it's reality so that the masses see it as the practice of a cult as opposed to the spirit of Islam; or to most modern 'Sufis' who feel that the only way they will assume credibility is by deviating from the status quo of the Shariah and set up Tariqah as a means of escape. Of course you then have the academics who hail Tasawwuf as a thing of the past, a perfection that is unattainable by the Modern Man.

This Course goes through most of the main themes of Tasawwuf and analyses them from the viewpoint of the Qur'an and Sunnah and the lives of the Guided.


Lives of the guided ? those would be ?
