Welcome

In the Name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate

The True Meaning of SufismYou should understand this Truth. For Sufi there are no differences, there is no world, there is no praise; there is no dancing, no play acting, no marijuana. Sufi does not put on costumes and dance. But whatever are the Qualities of God and whatever is God's Compassionate Benevolence, Sufi is those Qualities. The one who has imbibed those Qualities is Sufi. He does not acknowledge differences of races, religions, or any separations. He embraces only God, His 3000 Gracious Qualities, and His Plenitude. One who has attained this State is Sufi. One who has known and realized this state of: La illaha — Nothing other than God Exists, Il Allahu — You alone are God. This is Sufi. This is the Word of God. One who loses himself into nothingness, where the state of the self does not exist; one who knows the station where only God remains as that Solitary oneness that is God: this is the explanation of Sufi — a brief explanation.
