تعارف و کردار سلاسل اربعہ

Abstract

Sufism is a subject that had its origin in the Prophetic era, but in the fourth century Hijri, the monastic system began formally. Sufism is the inner essence of the foundation of Islam which circulates like blood in the beliefs, morals, actions, and all other components of the Sharia law, society, economy, and politics. Every system is a structure, and its soul is spirituality. This structure is called Islamic jurisprudence. So, jurisprudence and Sufism are closely related, these two components are two aspects of the same reality. Both are bound in an unbreakable relationship of unity. One teaches the manners of living, while the other makes it credible. One outlines the civilization and the other adds color to it. One shows the way to reality and the other leads to the destination. Here the introduction and role of the four chains of Sufism are described.
