Abstract

The lives of Sufis are a miracle of Allah Almighty for the society by which the whole society becomes reformed. Wherever the Sufis entered, they purified the people and advised them on the right path and spread the knowledge of Shariat and Sufism among the people. Sophia's teachings cleansed the hearts of people from the love of the world, vices, malice, envy, hatred and taught them to be close to Allah. By which the inner being of man is reformed. There is no example of the role played by Sufis and saints in the spread of Islam in the sub-continent. The Sufis, by their knowledge, actions, morals and spiritual attitude, inclined people to Islam and spread Islamic teachings because man has lost his purpose in life and is oblivious to the remembrance of Allah Almighty. That is why the company and teachings of the Sufis always attract man to the remembrance of God and remind man of the purpose of life and incline him towards the nearness and distance of Allah. Which are becoming the cause of reform and education of the people. Therefore, Shariat is incomplete without Sufism, just as prayer is incomplete without ablution, both are inseparable. For Sufism, the terms of purification, self-jihad, knowledge, purity of heart, kindness have been mentioned in several places in the Holy Quran. Both Shariat and Sufism (way of conduct) are incomplete without each other. The purpose of human life is to purify one's inner self along with one's outward appearance. In order to attain closeness to Allah, if the outside of a person is pure but the inside is impure, then a person cannot fulfill the purpose of his life. All the Companions, Imam Fiqh, millions of Saints and Sufis have shown the closeness of Allah, both outwardly and inwardly. Obtained only after the purification of Therefore, inner purity is very important.
