It is evident that tasawwufs principles were none other than those of the Quran and the Sunna. A Sufi is he who is truehearted in devotion, firm in faith, loyal to the divine law, incisive in his understanding of the religion, and endowed with gnosis. A true Sufi was thus equivalent to a true believer, a true Muslim. Early Sufism was not a sect or a school, but rather an ideology and a doctrine, a “faith in practice”, that is found in every true Muslim, no matter which sect or school he/she followed.
