Sufism is a path to Allah that is directly connected to Islam, the two cannot be seperated. WHen we say sufism, the connotation is muslims who are developing their inward selves as a way to connect to God, using means that are accepted in Islam in terms of the Shariah.

Thank You Andulas for above statement.

Not only is sufism a part of Islam, but there is even a "science" dedicated to the path sufism advocates which is called "the science of tasawuf". This has been a part of traditional Islam for over a thousand years, supported by the greatest minds that Allah has blessed with knowledge and Iman.

Sufism is the heart of islam, it is the spiritual side, the estoric of islam.

I like the subject of sufism, nausheen and I had many enjoyable discussions on it in the past, along with a few others and then there were those few who came in and said that sufism is not islam and such but nausheen and i would interject them ;-)

I would be happy to discuss the topic further if you would like. This is also a favorite of mine, and I wish I spent more time in relfection of my Creator.

Perhaps i will re-post my discussions on sufism
