Assalamo Allaikum WRWBH! Prayers and Peace for all. It has been three days since the last post. Last one had paused on the mention of TASSAWAF. What is Tassawaf? Huge books are available on the definition alone, however, a very concise but the most comprehensive definition probably is by Ghazali (RA). It says "Worship only Allahu Taala and serve His Creation IE all beings".
All those who choose to tread this path indulge in absolute self purification (Tazkiyae Nafs). Nothing, absolutely nothing attracts them, deters them from the chosen path. For them Allahu Taala' s endorsement of their every action is the sole purpose. Love of Allahu Taala is their life. They refrain from any thing which can hinder their journey towards their cherished goal. Tassawaf stimulates them towards goodness and every pious deed. The most common effects of Tassawaf on a Sufi are:-
---- Sufis overcome their desires and lust.
----They indulge in self purification and self destruction.
----They observe unlimited control over themselves in every facet of personal conduct.
----They teach and train their pupils through self example.
----A Scholar can talk for hours on self purification but a Sufi is the model of self purification.
----Sufis are above any sort of compartmentation/prejudices. They dish out LOVE and LOVE
only to all.
TO BE CONTINUED------ . Beseeching Allah's Rehma and Karm for all. Good night and Allah Hafiz.
