Sufism for Today

There is power in our everyday living. A kind word or empathy is not just a word or feeling, it is an opening of the channels in the heart. These channels are like electrical conduits that convey the energy of life/God.

Religion is meant as a practice and a guide to open these channels.

Sufism is a known practice dedicated to cultivating spiritual attributes. However, even Sufism when entertained as a cult is not the end road, rather it is as a doorway or methodology.

The principle of Sufism is to give pure love and charity toward others, and it is a realization of oneness that there is no separation from the creator of the universe. 

Sufism for Today begins by explaining where the word or term Sufi may have originated. The book describes the generality of asceticism and the basic underlying principles of selflessness, giving, and love as the foundation of all inspiration that has led mankind.

Finally, Sufism for Today conveys the power and superiority of innocent acts of kindness over ritualized behaviour, regardless of the religious title or form of sectarianism practiced.
