Sufism

What Is?

Sufism is a spiritual dimension of Islam where knowledge is always sought as a way of practicing the religion.

It promotes a life of self-denial and travelling as a way to bring man closer to his creator.

Although Muslims who practice this dimension are not many, they have nevertheless played a significant part in shaping Islam in Syria.
