While there is no solo course on Tasawwuf, the ArqanAcademy Aqidah Course provides a foundational and practical study of Tasawwuf (Islamic Spirituality) . In this article you will know what to expect from studying with us, the challenges & solutions to keep you on track
What is Tasawwuf, and why is it Integrated into Aqidah?
Tasawwuf (or Sufism) is the traditional Islamic discipline focused on purifying the heart, strengthening sincerity, and deepening one’s connection with Allah.
In traditional Islamic scholarship, Tasawwuf is understood as the spiritual application of sound belief. It is the practice of Ihsān—the third pillar of religion, defined as worshipping Allah as if you see Him.
Our course integrates this spiritual dimension with the theoretical study of Aqidah to ensure a complete understanding of faith, moving beyond mere theological knowledge to moral and spiritual excellence.
