Definition of Sufism by Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijani
Bismillah
Assalamu alaikum,
When asked to define what Sufism was, one of the great Sufi masters, Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijani (may Allah be well pleased with him) stated:
“Sufism is to fulfill the Command (of Allah) and avoid the Prohibited Matter, outwardly and inwardly, in a manner that will please Him, and not please you.”
قال سيدي أحمد بن محمد التجاني – رضي الله تعالى عنه
اعلم أن التصوف هو امتثال الأمر واجتناب النهي في الظاهر والباطن من حيث يرضى لا من حيث ترضى . أ.هـ
