There isn’t much in the text so i was wondering if someone could tell me what Sufism is all about??? It’s origin/practices and how it differs from the mainstream Sunni/Shias beleifs.

As for the jews, do they believe in Bible or does Bible have parts of the Torah? B/c i remember in the text they mention a lot about Bible.. or is it just tht Torah is similar to Bible/Christianity?

*confused

If you can read Urdu, there is a very good piece of writing in yesterday’s Daily Nawaiwaqt (http://www.nawaiwaqt.com.pk/daily/april-2002/11/noor.htm). I think that it is the most brief and comprehensive description of Sufiism.
