Sufism: Misconceptions and the Reality

The book takes the seeker on a journey of Truth

The concept of Tasawwuf has been subject to many objections and opposition just like any other discipline or creed. The Westernised orientalists and the Hindu spiritual concepts created a concoction of ideologies around Tasawwuf and Sufis. There has been an objection that the concept of Tasawwuf is Bidá and does not belong to Islam as it is not inscribed in the Qurán or Hadith.

Allah created man to recognize his Lord and this cognizance is not bound by time, age or space. The inner state of the heart has to be practiced; the path of Tasawwuf is a journey to reform the inner self and reach the station of rida.

Sufism: Misconceptions and the Reality, a book by Shaykh Humayun Hanif is a complete guide for the seekers and takes one on a journey from the origins of Tasawwuf to the reality behind the concepts of Suluk, Tariqa, and Haqiqa which are nothing but subservient to Shariah.
