طریقت refers to a spiritual path or method in Sufism, which is a mystical branch of Islam. It emphasizes the inner, personal experience of the divine and the pursuit of spiritual knowledge. Practitioners, known as Sufis, often follow specific rituals, teachings, and guidance from a sheikh or spiritual leader to deepen their connection with God. The concept of طریقت is often contrasted with Sharia, the legal framework of Islam, and Haqiqat, which represents the ultimate truth. By following a طریقت, individuals seek to purify their hearts and attain a higher state of consciousness, ultimately striving for union with the divine.
