Sufism is a spiritual movement that has existed within the Muslim community since its earliest generations. Throughout history, it has been known by different names, yet it is best described as the inner, spiritual dimension of Islam—one that emphasizes the purification of the heart, sincerity of intention, and closeness to God through remembrance (dhikr), meditation, and various forms of supplication.

Islam expects Muslims to take care of themselves and look their best. Personal care and hygiene are not only expected but appreciated. The keeping of one’s body in the best appearance whether in public and at home for family is an act of worship and a source of reward.
