Sufi Traditions
Sufi Traditions are mystical practices within Islam that emphasize personal experience of the divine. Sufis seek to deepen their connection with God through various means, including meditation, chanting, and poetry. They often focus on love, compassion, and the inner journey, aiming to transcend the material world.
Central to Sufi practices are the teachings of notable figures like Rumi and Al-Ghazali. Sufi orders, known as Tariqas, provide structured paths for followers, often led by a spiritual guide or Sheikh. These traditions have influenced art, music, and literature, promoting a message of unity and spiritual awakening.
