Islamic Sufism And Its Civilisational Role In Confronting Contemporary Challenges And The Future Of Humanity

Abstract

Islamic Sufism is an educational and spiritual approach that focuses on purifying the heart, achieving inner clarity, renouncing worldly desires and reforming human behaviour. It is one of the most important Islamic branches of knowledge that emphasises the human being and strives to achieve his happiness and balance. In the present era, humanity is facing a deep crisis characterised by materialistic dominance, selfishness, neglect of spiritual and ethical values, and dangerous attempts to exploit, enslave, occupy, destroy and even annihilate human beings. In this context, Islamic Sufism can play a real and effective role in the construction of a humanist civilisational project that restores balance and guidance to humanity.
