Huston Smith Part IV

Part III

Pg. 258 – 266

What are Sufis?

o Sufis are the extreme in Islam, and are much more devoted to the faith for the opportunity to see Allah in this life rather than at the Judgment day.

- The root word of Sufism means wool

- The Sufis are the mystics of Islam

- They are the ones who bear the inner message of Islam

- The Sufis try to encounter God Now rather than wait till the judgment day

- The Sufis have 3 routes of reaching Allah, these being love, ecstasy, and intuition
