Duchowość islamu

Abstract

This article draws the attention to the theological spirituality of Islam, on which the main principles and directions of the Muslim’s spiritual file development are based. The article discusses primarily the mysticism of Islam, which played a decisive role in the development of the spiritual life of Allah’s followers over the centuries. It is shown in the fundamental concepts of Sufism, without analyzing its development in different countries and over time. The article discusses also the development of fraternities, in which mystical life was nurtured and passed on to the disciples. Leading theologians of Islamic mysticism are also taken into account. It should be emphasized that the mystical movement is developing rapidly in the contemporary Islamic world. From the theological point of view, little attention is paid to this issue in Polish literature. The article presents also measures for the spiritual development of a Muslim, which include prayer, alms, fast and pilgrimage. The whole article attempts to show the dimension of Muslim’s holiness, especially mystical, which is preached in the leading schools of Islam.
