Spiritual Life in Islam: Sufism
- "Tasawwuf
is based on observing the rules of Shari‘a down to good manners and
penetrating their (inward) meaning. An initiate or traveler upon the
path (salik) who can succeed in this never separates the outward
observance of Shari‘a from its inward dimension and carries out all the
requirements of both the outward and inward dimensions of religion.
Through such observance, he travels toward the goal in utmost humility
and submission."

- Knowing Allah, Sufism
& Science, by Ahmed Baki
- "Unless
the theism (shirk −the idea of god) is abandoned, the Oneness
of
Allah (tawheed) cannot be understood as informed in the Koran! "ALLAH"
is not a name denoting a god out there! What is referred to as "ALLAH"
is the undivided whole Oneness that exists alone without anything else
besides."

site. "It would, In Sha' Allah, prove useful to put in the hands of
those Muslims who are unaware of the hidden dangers of Sufism, and who,
due to their shallow knowledge of Islam, or for other reasons, are
duped into believing that salvation is attained only by way of ascetic
mystical doctrines, and that the relationship between man and Allah is
maintained through a few self-appointed priests."

History of Western Sufism
- "This is a section from a book I'm writing on
Western gurus
and masters. A basic outline of the book follows and you will see that
the present article is part of the 'vertical chronology' from ch.2. As
far as I am aware, this is the first history of Western Sufism - though
I should emphasize that my focus is always the Westerners who have
become Sufi teachers and I have therefore omitted many 'Eastern' Sufis
who would figure in a complete history."

- Gurdjieff
and Sufi Paths
- "Those who try hiking both these paths will find
that they do, indeed, criss-cross here and there, run along a few
ridges together, and part in other places. These paths can lead to a
real destination."
- Nuradeen
- "We live in an age where the meaning and purpose
of mankind
has been obscured in the glut of materialism. Both east and west have
been overwhelmed by a savage and ruthless system that channels man's
energy and focus away from his divinely intended purpose, making him a
servant to the lowest aspects of himself. Man's true destiny is a being
of inner light and outer balance. The only way to antidote the
influence of this scourge upon mankind is to awaken the heart to it's
divinely intended purpose."
