Sufism is not necessarily a dogma or a doctrine; it is neither a form nor a ceremony. This does not mean that a Sufi does not make use of a doctrine, dogma, ritual, or ceremony. Sufis make use of it but they are free from it. It is neither dogma, doctrine, ceremony, nor ritual that makes a Sufi a Sufi. It is wisdom alone which is the property of the Sufis; all other things Sufis use for their convenience and benefit. A Sufi is not against any creed, any doctrine, any dogma, any ritual, or any ceremony. Moreover, the Sufi is not even against the person who has no belief in God or spirit. For a Sufi has a great respect for each person.
