Paper Summary:
This begins by defining Sufism as the mystical sect of Islam. It then shows how love is an important aspect of mysticism and explains how Sufism uses love to strengthen one's relationship with God. The paper also looks at how the Sufi tradition combines its understanding of love to help the teacher-student relationship develop into the Sufi way.From the Paper:
"The teacher uses unconventional methods to help the student on his path of love towards God. Musa Kasin said "Many teachers talk about teachings. The best teachers study their pupils as well. Most important, teachers should be studied" (137). This idea of studying teachers as well as students demonstrates the idea of mutual respect. The teacher learns from the students and the students learn from the teacher. Sheikh Muzaffer said, "It is easy to be a sheikh and difficult to be a dervish.""More papers on Love and the Sufi Way:
