Sufism
The Masnavi of Rumi, Ihya' Ulum ad-Din of Al-Ghazali, and Conference of the Birds of Attar — the mystical heart of Islam seeking direct experiential knowledge of God. Sufism cultivates love, dhikr (remembrance of God), and annihilation of ego (Fana) under a spiritual guide (Shaykh) within organized brotherhoods (Tariqas).
