Sufism and Islamic thought

The Qurʾān, “recitation”, is for Muslims the word of God revealed to Muhammad over some twenty-three years in the seventh century, in 114 suras. Sufis read it as inexhaustible, with outer and inner meanings, and drew from it their central terms: remembrance, love, the heart, the face of God.
