What is Sufism?

→ http://www.islamicmeditation.com In this video, I explain what Sufism is and dispel some of the misconceptions surrounding this fundamental aspect of Islam.

Sufism, which is also known as Tazkiyyah, is quite simply the spiritual dimension of Islam, and it's goal and aim is the purification of the self so that nothing but spiritual excellence remains. This state and station of spiritual excellence is known as Maqam al-Ihsan.

Sufi knowledge and training is based upon a system known as Tariqa, which literally means the Path or the Way, and necessitates a living lineage that can be traced directly back to the Prophet Muhammad (saws) in an unbroken chain of transmission.
