TITLE: SUFISM OMAR KHAYYAM AND E FITZGERRALD PUB: LONDON THE SUFI PUBLISHING SOCIETY 1915 AUTHOR: C H A BJERREGAARD DATE: 1915 BOOK DESCRIPTION : VERY GOOD BROWN CLOTH GILT COVERS. FRONTIS. CONTENTS FINE. SCATTERED FOXING 48pp ENGLISH TEXT 8 VO SIZE BOOK CONTENTS "I CAME LIKE WATER"....... Sufism or taṣawwuf ( Arabic : تصوّف ‎) is defined by its adherents as the inner, mystical dimension of Islam .[ 1] [2 ][ 3] A practitioner of this tradition is generally known as a ṣūfī ( صُوفِيّ ). Another name for a Sufi is Dervish .Classical Sufi scholars have defined Sufism as "a science whose objective is the reparation of the heart and turning it away from all else but God." [4 ] Alternatively, in the words of the Darqawi Sufi teacher Ahmad ibn Ajiba , "a science through which one can know how to travel into the presence of the Divine , purify one's inner self from filth, and beautify it with a variety of praiseworthy traits." [5 ]Classical Sufis were characterised by their attachment to dhikr (a practice of repeating the names of God) and asceticism . Sufism gained adherents among a number of Muslims as a reaction against the worldliness of the early Umayyad Caliphate (661-750 CE [6 ]). Sufis have spanned several continents and cultures over a millennium, at first expressed through Arabic, then through Persian, Turkish and a dozen other languages. [7 ] "Orders" ( ṭuruq ), which are either Sunnī or Shī'ī or mixed [8 ] in doctrine, trace many of their original precepts from the Islamic Prophet Muhammad through his cousin 'Alī , with the notable exception of the Naqshbandi who trace their origins through the first Caliph , Abu Bakr .[ 9] Other exclusive schools of Sufism describe themselves as distinctly Sufi. [10 ] Modern Sufis often perform dhikr after the conclusion of prayers. [11 ]Some mainstream scholars of Islam define sufism as simply the name for the inner or esoteric dimension of Islam. [1 ] René Guénon in 'Insights into Islamic Esoterism and Taoism ' (Sophia Perennis 2003) contended that Sufism was the esoteric aspect of Islam supported and complemented by exoteric practices and Islamic law. However, according to Idries Shah , the Sufi philosophy is universal in nature, its roots predating the rise of Islam and the other modern-day religions, save for perhaps Buddhism and Jainism ; likewise, some Muslims consider Sufism outside the sphere of Islam.
