Sufism

When we discussed Sufism in class I thought it was an interesting subject. Upon doing further research I realized that I didn’t fully understand the whole idea of Sufism when we went over it in class. I understand the dance and how it had significance within the religion of Islam, but I didn’t get the spiritual and mystical side of the tradition. I thought this was interesting and continued to do more research I realized that a practice trying to find divine love and knowledge is found in other religions outside of Islam. Similar practices can be found in Christianity, Judaism, and Hinduism. I was definitely not expecting to discover all this new information after discussing it in class.
