The path of Sufism...
Sufism is known as the Way of the Heart, the Way of the Pure, the Mystical Path of Islam. By whatever name it is called, it is the path which takes the seeker to the Divine Presence. Each person is a unique representative of the Divine. The Sufis say, "If human beings knew their own inner secrets, never would they look elsewhere for seeking happiness, peace and inner light." Therefore the essence of the Path is to find oneself. "Know thyself, know thy Lord!" is an imperative of the Sufi Way.
Human belives on belongings. This is my house, this is my wife, my parents, my kids, my relatives, my life, my body, my soul, my religion..... The fact is "Nothing is ours!.....except our GOD". To find this out God has given us a "partial Will".
Every human is a combination of Soul and Body. Body is meant to be mortal contrary to Soul. Religions are based on faith. Faith or belive takes you to prosperity or otherwise. No religion can servive without an element of Spiritualism but Spiritualism itself carries all religions.
This are the words will be told to those who will be succeeded in Yom-e-Adl. "O Satisfied Soul..." is the key and the berometer God has fixed in every human. Take a look into yourself. Are you satisfied? is your hart at peace? if yes, then be sure that God is happy with you. If you are not, then try to find out what wrong you are doing? eliminate it by saying Sorry to Him and promiss HIM not to do that again. Keep on checking your hart....!
Ibadats for Tareekat followers - I would say these are tough. Why? because Salat is easy for me to do 5 times. I need speicifc words to read and specific actions to perform. Whereas, when I do Ibadats of tareeqat the difficulty I face is myself. The desires, Wahems, willingness....lots of things I need to control.
For Instence in Sharia actions are proved to be Sins or Vertues. In Tareeqat the desires are also proved to be Sins or Vertues. You have a direct contact with God which makes you powerful and knowledgable but responsible. You walk on the edge of sword which will cut you in half anytime when you will make a mistake. No mersey for those who know.
