قطم النفس عن المألوف وحملها على مخالفة هواها: فكر وسلوك صوفي

Abstract EN

What is noted about Sufism in the sixth and seventh centuries is that the care of some Sufis has gone to revealing the veil of sense, and the perceptions and knowledge behind it, and that their methods of exercise and struggle, mortification of sensory powers, and nourishment of the soul with worship and remembrance have differed, but they all share in the subjects of Sufism which the Sufi doctrines revolved around in the 6th and 7th centuries, as they are beautified in: struggles, revelations, actions in the world, and universes with all kinds of dignities and shallowness.

after contemplating these works, and scrutinizing their explanations, it becomes clear what these psychological and moral meanings entail, and what they tend to in terms of metaphysical disputes.

evidence that the sixth and seventh centuries witnessed a closeness between Sufism and philosophy, and doors were opened through which philosophical and non-philosophical elements leaked into Sufi tastes and their spiritual doctrines.
