The Reality of Sufism
Total understanding of the religion you are following is very important. It does not matter if you have just embrace Islam or were a born Muslim. The best way to understand Islam is to learn it from those people who have walked on the path of Islam and adopted completely without any prejudice or conditions.
The people who believe in following the true path and remain stable with faith in their hearts are the blessed ones. The blessed souls appointed by Allah SWT are meant to provide guidance to the ignorant hearts. They are known as Saints or Wali Allah and they are the friends of Allah SWT. Their path or the way of preaching is to teach Islam for the illumination of hearts by following Quran and Sunah. This is the Sufism.
Sufism is not something that you cannot understand. By understanding Sufism, it does not mean you are a Sufi. There is so much information available in the books and on the portal of internet.
Lot of People who have read and shared information about Sufism or Tasawaf are not necessarily the true followers or leaders. Not every religious person and practicing Muslim can be declared as the real Sufi because Sufism is not merely fulfilling the obligations or unusual practices. Sufism is the real understanding of Islam and adaptation of Deen after lot of meditation, contemplation, acceptance with all your senses present from the heart.
Sufism teaches never to believe without asking question. It is not something that invites the follower to walk blindfolded. Sufism is the reality of religion and the true spirit of Islam. It is not based on personal perceptions but its foundation is laid on the complete comprehension of Islam.
