Sufism is often considered as an anti-Islamic view
which has been penetrated into Islamic discourses through Medieval
and Greek philosophical study. Sufism in its essence is a way
towards establishing a relationship of human beings with God. Since
such endeavors could be traced back in other religions and mystic
trends, therefore, orthodox Muslims often alienate Sufism from
Islam. In order to prove their point celibacy, worldly renunciation
and passive attitude in life has been severely criticized and
discouraged. Sufism, as opposed to mysticism, based their ideals on
the holy Quran, Teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Sunnah.
They also seek guidance from Saints (Awliya)that had passed before
them. The heart and light of Sufism is to know the essence of Soul
which will enable man to seek his origin (God). This will develop an
aura for humanity to coexist in peace. These purposes join hand in
hand with the Islamic principles and teachings that made him
Muslim in real sense rather than merely in name.Thus, the degree of
faith in God is more pronounced among Sufi’s. In this paper, I will
see how Allama Muhammad Iqbal_ the poet of the East_
distinguished between mysticism and Sufism in order to eliminate
those conjectures that revolve around the term ‘Sufism’ in general
among Muslim population. Iqbal specifically asserted that it is not
the entire cult that needs to be questioned but rather that minority
group within the cult that is not Islamic. The cult of Sufism whose
core and foundation is based on sheer Islamic teachings is
acceptable
