Sulook
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Sulook in relation to Islam and Sufism
The term Sulook or Suluk when related to Islam and Sufism means to walk a (spiritual) path (to God). Suluk involves following both the outer path (exoterism/shariah) and the inner path (esoterism/haqiqa) of Islam virtuously. Suluk also involves being ardent (passionately eager) in the search for God, The Signs of God, the Ultimate Truth, understanding the self, and understanding the essential meaning of life.
The word Sulook is derived from the Qur'anic term "Faslooki" in chapter 16, An-Nahl (The Bees), verse 69: Faslooki subula rabbiki zululan (engage in the paths of your Lord made easy [for you]). A person who is engaged in this spiritual path is called salik.
The terms Sulook and salik are usually found in relation to Sufism, and normally used for the members of particular Sufi order or tariqah.
