Abdulcabbar Boran frames Sufism as the practical path of Islam

Dr. Abdulcabbar Boran argues that trusting in Allah makes believers the strongest, quoting the Qur’an: “If you trust in Me and rely on Me, you are the strongest.” He presents Sufism (Tasavvuf) as the lived expression of Islam, describing it as a spiritual discipline that seeks happiness, devotion to Allah, and the development of the heart and soul. According to Boran, a true Sufi pursues the five pillars of Islam and continuous dhikr (remembrance of Allah) as means toward spiritual perfection and ultimate union with the divine.

His exposition emphasizes the stages of surrender—of the soul, body, and will—to Allah, viewing them as obligatory practices that lead to the ideal of the “perfect human” (insan‑ı kamil). Boran links these teachings to the tradition of the Prophet Muhammad and his companions, asserting that the Sufi path continues that original practice of Islam.
