Study the masters
We read the classics with care: Imam Ghazali’s Ihya Ulum al-Din, Data Ganj Bakhsh Hujwiri’s Kashf al-Mahjub, Maulana Rumi’s Masnavi, and the spiritual thought of Allama Iqbal.
Spirituality
Tasawwuf (Sufism)
Tasawwuf is the inner dimension of Islamic life: the science of purifying the heart (tazkiya-e-nafs) and living with ihsan, worshipping God as though you see Him.
Practice
- Dhikr: remembrance of God
- Muraqaba: watchful presence of the heart
- Muhasaba: honest self-accounting
- Good character (akhlaq) in daily life
Poetry of the heart
Rumi, Hafez, Bulleh Shah, Sultan Bahu, Ghalib and Iqbal put the journey of the soul into words. Our circles read their poetry with commentary.
