 All my talk was madness,

filled with do's and don'ts.

For ages I knocked on a door--

when it opened I found 

I was knocking from the inside!

Sufism, 

mystical Islamic belief and practice in which Muslims seek to find the truth of divine love and knowledge through direct personal experience of God. It consists of a variety of mystical paths that are designed to ascertain the nature of humanity and of God and to facilitate the experience of the presence of divine love and wisdom in the world.

SUFI WORLD:

The ultimate goal of each Sufi is Fana Fillah, to loose oneself in the essence of Allah. I believe there is also a strong belief in the concept of 'dying before one dies', or experiencing the Divine Grace of Allah before physically passing away from the earth. This can be done by attaining the state of Fana Fillah.

There are four stages of Sufism that lead to Fana Fillah:

1. Shariah (the external path)

2. Tariqah (the internal path)

3. Haqiqah (mystical truth)

4. Marfat (gnosis, ultimate truth and reality)
