February 11 Compassionate Living Tip from Interfaith Paths to Peace

Learn about Sufism, the mystical form of Islam

http://islam.uga.edu/Sufism.html

Sufis--which is what practioners of Sufism are called--see themselves to be on a spiritual journey toward God. This journey is referred to as the path (tariqah). While all Muslims believe that they are on the pathway to God and will become close to God in Paradise--after death and the "Final Judgment"-- Sufis believe as well that it is possible to become close to God and to experience this closeness--while one is alive.
