• 😀 Syariat involves the outward practice of Islam’s rules and guidelines, while Tarekat is the sincere application of these teachings with the guidance of a spiritual teacher.
• 😀 Hakikat is the understanding of the true meaning behind worship, and Makrifat is the ultimate recognition and connection with Allah in one’s heart, beyond intellectual understanding.
• 😀 The ultimate goal of mastering Syariat, Tarekat, Hakikat, and Makrifat is to lead a life of sincere worship, aiming to please Allah and develop a good relationship with others, fulfilling the essence of Islamic spirituality.
