This is precisely what is known technically as tasawwuf. That is the basis of success in the hereafter while its despoiling is the cause of total destruction. On reflection it will be realized that all the external deeds are designed for the reformation of the heart. These commands are as much a mandatory requirement as the ones dealing with external deeds. Similarly, in the books of hadith, along with the chapters on Ibadat, trade and commerce, marriage and divorce, are to be found the chapters on riya (showoff) takabbur, akhlaq, etc. Thus while commanding Salat and Zakat, the Qur'an also commands gratefulness and love of Allah and condemns the evil of pride and vanity. The department of the Shariah relating to external deeds like salat and zakat is called fiqh while the one dealing with the internal feelings and states of the heart is called tasawwuf.

Consequently the first group has shunned the Qur'an and Hadith while the second group has shunned tasawwuf.Īctually, although the term tasawwuf, like many other religious terms in use today, evolved later, the discipline is very much part of the Shariah.
