Islam and Sufism
Islam and Sufism: A Sufi is someone who believes in the kind of Islam known as Sufism. The spiritual goal of a Sufi is to have a direct, personal experience of God. The original Sufis wore simple wool cloaks, and in Arabic, the word Sufi means "man of wool".
Sufis were Muslims mystics. They rejected outward religiosity and emphasized love and devotion to god and compassion towards all fellow human beings. Islam propagated strict monotheism or submission to one God. It also rejected idol worship and considerably simplified rituals of worship into collective prayers. At the same time Muslim scholars developed a holy law called Shariat. The Sufis often rejected the elaborate rituals and codes of behavior demanded by Muslims religious scholars.
They sought union with god much as a lover seeks his beloved with a disregard for the world. Like the Nathpanthis, Siddhas and Yogis, the Sufis too believed that the heart can be trained to look at the world in a different way. They developed elaborate methods of training using Zikr (chanting of a name or sacred formula), contemplation, sama (singing), raqs (dancing), discussion of parables, breath control, etc. under the guidance of a master or pir. Thus, emerged the silsilas, a genealogy of Sufi teachers, each following a slightly different method (tariqa) of instruction and ritual practice.
