What is the relationship between Sufism and Islam?
Sufism is commonly known as the mystical dimension of Islam. In fact, Sufism is the body, soul and spirit of Islam and so the two cannot be separated. “Islam” means submission, surrendering to the ultimate knowledge of God. The goal of Sufism is submission to God by way of Self-knowledge. Indeed, Sufism is the essence of each and every religion. It teaches that if one cognizes his/her true identity, one cognizes God.
