Tasawwuf, Sufi Path & Modern Challenges

Introduction

This course offers an in-depth study of Islamic spirituality through the lens of Tasawwuf (Sufism), exploring key concepts, practices, and historical developments essential for a comprehensive understanding of the spiritual journey in Islam. Participants will engage with foundational texts, terminologies, and methodologies of classical Sufi scholarship while examining their relevance and application in contemporary times. The course emphasizes the intertwined relationship between Sharia (Islamic Law) and Tariqah (Sufi Path), delving into both the theoretical frameworks and practical aspects of Sufi teachings. Guided by scholarly discourse and experiential learning, the course enables students to develop insight into the spiritual journey, the necessity of a guide (Shaykh), and the dynamics of the inner self (Nafs), while also exploring the pivotal role of Sufi institutions and personalities throughout history.
