Sufism has shown the world the mystical face of Islam and has helped reduce religious prejudices. This is the point that forms a bridge between various cultures and religions and connects mankind in a single bond of common legacy. Their method was through humanism, love, tolerance and forgiveness. Spiritualism does not have a theory it is direct dialing with God. Spiritual masters always burn in the flames of love consumed by the love of God, but to others they serve as soothing beacons of light. Sufism has no language.

Sufism is fundamentally rooted in the ancient and profound covenant between the Divine and humanity. Man struggles to lift the veil of ignorance to embrace the beauty and majesty of God. Sufism is a spiritual discipline that calls for a constant search for truth, a quest into the structure and the mysteries of the universe embracing the awesome beauty and splendour of the creator through his creation. As Dr. Ann Marie Schimel puts it and I quote "Sufism is the code of the heart or the purification of soul." Rightly said it is primarily concerned with the internal state of soul rather than external behaviour.
