	Sufism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sufism (Arabic تصوف taṣawwuf) is a mystic tradition of Islam based on the pursuit of spiritual truth as it is gradually revealed to the heart and mind of the Sufi (one who practices Sufism).
		Junayd was the first theorist of Sufism, known for his teachings on ‘fanaa and baqaa’, the state whereby the annihilation of the self occurs in the divine presence and is accompanied by a great clarity towards the world of phenomena.
		Although Sufism as a whole is approved in Islamic thought, there is a tendency to distinguish between different Sufi thoughts and practices in terms of their conformity with Shari'a and hence the introduction of an Islamic or authentic form of Sufism by religeous authorities.

	Sufism - Wikipedia Mirror (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Sufism has produced a large body of poetry in Turkish, Punjabi, Urdu and Persian, which notably include the works of Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi, Bulleh Shah, Amir Khusro, as well as numerous traditions of devotional dance, such as Sufi whirling, and music, such as Qawwali.
		Sufism was now recognized and understood by virtue of the spiritual values that it propagates, and because of the intellectual efforts of the great thinkers of this time, these scholars used all due discretion when they addressed matters of high spirituality.
		This view of Sufism has been popular in the Western world but is opposed by traditional Sufis who practice it within the framework of Islam as the science of Sufism was always practiced as a discipline in Islam and could never be separated from it.

	Sufism - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
		Although philosophies vary between different Sufi sects, Sufism as a whole is primarily concerned with direct personal experience, and as such is often compared to Zen Buddhism and Gnosticism.
		There is a major line of Non-Islamic or offshoot-Islamic Sufi thought that sees Sufism as predating Islam and being in fact universal and, therefore, independent of the Qur'an and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad.
		Thirdly, the term sufism has had such a wide range of connotations attached to it, mostly emotive definitions rather then precising ones, that a comparison to traditional Islam is essentially not possible except in a strictly defined context.

	Sufism
		Sufism is a mystic tradition of Islam encompassing a diverse range of beliefs and practices dedicated to Allah/God, divine love and sometimes to help a fellow man. Tariqas (Sufi orders) may be associated with Shi'a Islam, Sunni Islam, other currents of Islam, or a combination of multiple traditions.
		Sufism is generally reckoned to originate in the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad although some Sufi teachers have claimed that Sufism pre-dates Islam and simply adopted Islam as a suitable vehicle.
		In this sense, traditional practitioners of Sufism don't see it as an exclusive group but just as a form of training necessary to cultivate spirituality and Ihsan in their lives.
