The Sufi tradition is a mystic tradition within Islam that emphasizes direct personal experience of the divine through love and surrender. Sufis seek to connect with the spirit of divine unity, a source of spiritual revelation accessible to all regardless of language, gender or culture. Sufis prioritize personal contemplation and the purification of the heart over ritualistic piety, following their inner inspirations and intuition as guidance. Sufis strive to embody the peace and love of the divine in the physical world through music and poetry, with the ultimate aim of connecting the physical and spiritual worlds in pursuit of higher consciousness and enlightenment.
