Sufism is the esoteric aspect of Islam. Its purpose is to convey direct knowledge of the eternal. The Sufis impart knowledge through lineages that go back to the Prophet Muhammud. The Sufis repeat their zikr as they turn and empty their hearts of all but the thought of God and whirl in the ecstatic movements of His breath.
