Our thematic selections : Sufism

Sufism is a mystical and pacifist variant of Islam, which developed in parallel with the geographical expansion of this religion, taking on multiple nuances from one century to the next, and from one continent to the next.

For its followers, Sufism advocates an inner striving for purity, and self-abandonment in divine contemplation.

It is at the origin of numerous brotherhoods, within which various ascetic practices are passed on in the tradition of great spiritual masters (those of the whirling dervishes being one of the best known to the general public),

However, Sufism has been and still is rejected by the most rigorist currents of Islam.

This selection offers multiple possible angles of approach to this complex spiritual current, but is only a glimpse of the IMA's heritage. Don't hesitate to continue your discoveries on this same portal or by coming directly to the site.
