Sufism is the Message of Love, Harmony, and Beauty
The Sufi sees the truth in every religion. If invited to offer prayers in a church, a mosque, a synagogue, or a temple, the Sufi is ready to do so, knowing that all people worship the same God, the Only Being, no matter what Name they use. Yet the Sufi's true house of worship is the human heart, in which the Divine Beloved lives. Sufism is a religion for those who wish to learn religion from it, a philosophy for those wanting wisdom from it, a mystical path for any who would be guided by it to the unfoldment of the Soul, and yet it is beyond all these things. It is the Light of Life, which is the sustenance of every soul.
“Now how does the Sufi look at the question of God? Does he believe in one God? Believes in one God, how can he tolerate the belief in many gods? The answer is that the point of view of the Sufi is to bring peace among the different believers. He does not differ from them; he sees their point of view. He sees that those who have many gods also worship God. They worship the different attributes of God
As there is a saying: ‘To understand all is to forgive all’. It is according to this saying that the Sufi looks upon life. Even he is willing to tolerate the conception of many gods, having the realization of the one God.” - Hazrat Inayat Khan
