The Object of Sufi Orders

The Object of Sufi Orders

The Quran has linked success with Tazkiyah (purification). "He is successful who grows" (al A’ al 87: 14)

The Sufi orders in Islam are basically the training workshops where the fundamentals of soul purification (Tazkyah) and their practical application are taught. The Sufi orders have graded programs in which initially every new seeker is educated in Zikr-al-Lisani (zikr with the tongue) and is finally taught the Zikr –al-Qalbi is practiced form the very beginning.
Adherence to the Sunnah is greatly emphasized because through its blessings the seeker achievers better and quicker progress.
