Serious talk. ok?

Im doing my research regarding sufism , books in sufism and theology. Remember that i ever mention about "buah kepala" before this? so.... i found a journal that have same degree of opinion. ngeh ngeh. happy I that found that journal. The journal is written by Professor and Head of Department of Psychiatry University of Tehran, DJAVAD NURBAKHSH (1978)

So what is sufism?

’Sufism is a way towards the absolutely Real, whose motive

force is love and whose means is single-minded concentration and living in a state

of stability whatever the situation; the goal of this way is God.’ In other words, at

the end of the Sufi’s path nothing remains but the Divine.

According to Sufism the sole means open to man to become the Perfect Man is

to become the disciple of a Perfect Spiritual Master (Qutb), in order to be able to

purify himself and to attain Perfection. This period of training under the guidance

of such a master is known as the Tariqah or Way. The Shari’ah, or the ensemble of

duties which are included under the Islamic religious law, is considered to be like a

primary school for the Sufi. The more advanced stage of training, which is followed

alongside the Shari'ah, is called the Tariqah and in the final stage one is led to

reach the Haqiqah (the Truth or Absolute Reality).

The Sufis take the following saying of the Prophet Muhammad as the basis

for the division of the spiritual path into three stages : ’The Shari’ah is my words,

the Tariqah is my acts and the Haquqah is my inward states’. The person who

enters the Taqiqah is called a murid or disciple while his master is called the murad

or Qutb.

So, ask yourself. Do We understand better about ilm?

Do we understand what Islam is about?

Its a journey.

A beautiful journey to share

and a guidance to the right path.
