520 $a Sufism is a living mystical path. The present and past great Sufis, despite the difficulty of expressing their states, have left us glimpses and footprints of their journey. Their mystical secrets and wisdom of love have been passed from heart to heart in different cultures.
520 $a As Sufis experienced it, only he or she who travels the path and drinks the wine of fana (annihilation) knows the Divine secrets. Mystical love is not a matter of a point of view or an intellectual position, it is a real state of Being, in which the Divine Reality is one with the being of the lover. Only then is one able to reveal the secrets and mysteries of this love, although the great Sufi mystics repeatedly indicated that love cannot be explained or described.
520 $a Sufis maintain that one must experience journeying on the path, guided by a true master, in order to approach God, who can only be reached through the heart, not through the mind or any aspect of self or nafs (ego) -based consciousness. One can only understand the Divine union when experiencing it on a deeper level and arriving at the station of mystical Love and Union.
520 $a I employed the mystical hermeneutic (ta'wil) methodology for this study. The Arabic word ta'wil means "to cause to return." The journey through the stages of love requires the transformation of the soul. This transformation is the ta'wil, the spiritual exegesis, which leads the soul back to its origin. Sufis are lovers whose quest is union with the Beloved. These eminent Sufis have repeatedly emphasized the incapacity of words and concepts to express the truth. They only attempt to convey the unity by their being, reflected in their poems and writings. Only then can their work cause an alchemical transformation in the human soul.
520 $a This research will review and illustrate the stages of the mystical journey traveled by the eminent Sufis, as well as their experiences and views of how one might attain these spiritual stages and stations to arrive at the final station of Love and Union.
