What is the meaning of Tasavvuf? What is the meaning of Sufism?<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Sufism is linked with “Ihsan”, which is one of the three basics virtues on which Islam is built. So when we understand what “Ihsan” is, we will have a better understanding of the essence and purpose of Sufism.<\/h3>\n

We see the Ihsan in the Hadiths and witness that it is clearly explained. A hadith (Jibril (AS) hadith) narrated by Hadhrat Omer (Rad\u0131yallahu Anh) is as follows.<\/h3>\n

One day while we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) there appeared before us a man dressed in extremely white clothes and with very black hair. No traces of travelling were visible on him, and none of us knew him. He sat down close by the Prophet (\ufdfa) rested his knees against the knees of the Prophet (\ufdfa) and placed his palms over his thighs, and said: “O Muhammad! Inform me about Islam.” The Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) replied: “Islam is that you should testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger (\ufdfa), that you should perform salah (ritual prayer), pay the zakah, fast during Ramadan, and perform Hajj (pilgrimage) to the House (the Ka`bah at Makkah), if you can find a way to it (or find the means for making the journey to it).” He said: “You have spoken the truth.” We were astonished at his this questioning him (\ufdfa) and then telling him that he was right, but he went on to say, “Inform me about Iman (faith).” He (the Prophet) answered, “It is that you believe in Allah and His angels and His Books and His Messengers and in the Last Day, and in fate (qadar), both in its good and in its evil aspects.” He said, “You have spoken the truth.” Then he (the man) said, “Inform me about Ihsan.” He (the Prophet) answered, “It is that you should serve Allah as though you could see Him, for though you cannot see Him yet He sees you.” He said, “Inform me about the Hour.” He (the Prophet) said, “About that the one questioned knows no more than the questioner.” So he said, “Well, inform me about its signs.” He said, “They are that the slave-girl will give birth to her master and that you will see the barefooted ones, the naked, the destitute, the herdsmen of the sheep (competing with each other) in raising lofty buildings.” Thereupon the man went off. I waited a while, and then he (the Prophet) said, “O `Umar, do you know who that questioner was?” I replied, “Allah and His Messenger know better.” He said, “That was Jibril. He came to teach you your religion.” [Muslim]<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1.Islam: These are the good deeds that are apparent. (such as praying, fasting, pilgrimage, zakat)<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
2. Faith: These are the good deeds that depend on the faith of the person, such as believing in Allah, His Prophets, His Angels, His Books, The day of Judgement, good and bad.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
3. Ihsan: This is the good deed that is related with the self-control and observation. This \u0130hsan points to the cleaning of the heart by worshiping Allah-u Dhul Jalaal with a spiritual awe and peace.Therefore, if Ihsan does not exist, some of the religion will be incomplete.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Namely, in this hadith, it is clearly stated that the servant must be aware that Allah-u Dhul Jalaal Sees, Hears and Knows all of his worship and servant duties, that is, in every moment of his life. The reasons that spoil this person’s Ihsan are the devil’s delusion, the desires and the effects of the outside world. So we have to get rid of these effects so that we can experience Ihsan. The way to get rid of these effects is to know their causes, how they affect people and how to take measures against them, and to briefly diagnose and treat this diseased condition. Undoubtedly, this issue is the most important issue for a Muslim. Because the basic touch of servanthood is to do everything and live every moment for the sake of Allah. This necessitates, The Science of Sufism.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Here it is useful to clarify one more subject. It can be said that we can learn and identify the effects that harms a person to experience the Ihsan from verses, Hadiths and scholarly books. Yes, this is true to some extent. However, the science that studies the methods and rules of treating these diseases is Sufism. Because Murshid-i Kamil, who is a sufi, treats the person by using his visible knowledge, his experiences and the spiritual knowledge given by Allah-u Dhul Jalaal in secret ways.<\/h5>\n
