Abstract

The importance of this book lies in the fact that its author attempts to answer a set of questions related to the social and cultural reality in Islamic countries. It also relates to the nature of the ongoing debate surrounding the orientations of a broad movement of Muslims toward the values of Sufism, its code of conduct, and adherence to its principles.
The author also demonstrates that Sufism is a method that helps humans embody the ethics of servitude, single out God alone in divinity, and witness His care and provision for all His creatures, without their own power or strength. It is a method that also works toward reform on earth, and is not, as some unjustly claim, an individualistic behavior that isolates its practitioner from society and the people
The subject of the book is an inherently well-known aspect of religion. Regardless of whether it is called "Sufism," "purification," or "purification," the names differ, but the content is the same.
The author begins his book with an introduction in which he explains the concept of the path to God Almighty, and that reviving the path is reviving the Sunnah of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. In the first chapter, the author discusses the legal principles upon which the path of this people is based, foremost among them the soundness of belief, as established by the eminent imams of the Sunnis.
