معاشرے کی روحانی و اخلاقی اصلاح میں مشائخ تصوف کا کردار:فلسفۂ احسان کے تناظر میں

Abstract

The element of spirituality is just as essential to human existence as eating, drinking, sleeping, waking up, and so on. The reason is that man is a mixture of body and soul. The nourishment of the body reaches it from the earthly means, by which it sustains itself, while the nourishment of the soul is spiritual action, which requires spiritual training. That is why Allah Almighty has included in the Holy Qur'an one of the basic responsibilities of the Prophet of Islam, self-purification. The teachings of spiritual training are repeated in the Qur'an. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) purified human beings according to the Quranic injunctions. This legacy passed down from the Companions رضی اللہ عنہم to the Sufis of different times, who always fulfilled this responsibility well. This subject was later called "تصوف" and Sufism. The spiritual healers of the people were called Sufis. In this short article, after reviewing the injunctions of Sufism and purification from the Holy Qur’an, a look is given to the conditions and services of famous and eminent Sufis of different times
