Introduction
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This institution aims to recover the lost emphasis on Islamic spirituality and ethical and moral issues that can be found in the Qur’an and the traditions of the Prophet PBUH. If we look at literature on Tasawwuf produced by Earliest Sufi Scholars, one can observe that they emphasized on only those Sufi traditions which have strong bases in Quran and the traditions of the Prophet P.B.U.H. Sufi teachings of classical era were free from any cultural or regional impacts, and Sufis Scholars of that era, consistently focused on the subjects which are obvious in Quranic and Prophetic traditions. Good morels, ethical social conduct, the internal immoral traits of human personality such as, anger, depression, enmity, envy, telling lie, arrogance, laziness and selfless love for Allah Almighty etc., were few topics among other topics which had major share of their discourses and writings.
