Tasawwuf In Summary.

[Abu Hafsat]

As-Salaam alaikum,

 

 "Tasawwuf is to keep the heart clean from all expectations from people; abstaining from

  subservience to desire; killing the attributes of the nafs; cultivating the spiritual attributes;

  acquisition of true knowledge; to practice such deeds which will benefit until qiyaamat;

 to admonish and advise all people of the Ummat, and to follow the Shari'ah of Prophet

 Muhammad, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam."
