Tasavvufa Giriş (An Introduction to Sufism) aims to present the essential topics of Sufism in a clear and accurate manner based on primary sources. In this respect, it may serve as a starting point for more advanced studies on the subject.

Sufism is a tradition that has deeply influenced the Islamic world and, in particular, the culture of the region in which we live. It is a significant phenomenon that must be understood in relation to other scholarly and intellectual traditions that have flourished within Islamic civilization.

Largely built upon moral foundations in both its practical and intellectual structure, Sufism—though at times interrupted or misappropriated for various reasons—continues to nourish Islamic societies through its authentic lineages and the legacy it has transmitted from generation to generation.

Beyond integrating action with ethics, Sufism, through its intellectual framework, also encompasses a broad domain that includes literature, fine arts, and architecture. With the values it has produced, the Sufi tradition has not only left its mark on Islamic countries but has also established a wide cultural influence stretching across Europe, the Americas, and the Far East.
