Introduction
The website of
Tasavof of Iran (Sufism.ir)
is a cultural source to those who look for Sufi thoughts and
documents.
Unfortunately, the contemporary Persian Sufi
texts have not been translated into other languages so widely and,
thus, non-Iranian researchers have not been adequately provided with
these thoughts. Therefore, attempts were made to include, as much as
possible, some of the relevant texts which have been translated,
even partially, into such languages as English, French, Arabic,
Russian, Urdu etc. so that the foreigner interested readers will
enjoy a minimum benefit of the website contents.
The different sections of
Tasavof of Iran
website are as follows:
-
Home
(Persian and English): Including some generalities related to
Iranian Sufism and Irfan
-
Mystics order:
The biography of Owlia (The Masters of Islam) since the period
of Prophet Mohammad until now.
-
Library:
Consisting of the books of the past and contemporary Sufi
Masters and the Greats
-

A collection of a variety of textual presentations of the
content and audio expositions of Saleh's advice - a concise book
with few pages and deepest meanings
-

A collection of the photos of sacred places and mausoleums
-

Consisting of general instructions of the past and contemporary
Sufi Authorities/Masters

-
Sitemap:

-
Announcements:
Including announcements and notices of the website
Generally speaking, monopolizing science,
skills, and arts and avoiding sharing them with others smacks of
niggardliness. Therefore, it has been mentioned in the footnote of
the pages that every one is allowed to use and copy the materials,
references, content, and the shape of the website if they observe
moral rectitude.
Undoubtedly, the problems with the website
abound and all are those of the director of the site. The visitors
are kindly invited to inform him of them so that he will try to
solve them.
It is hoped that this website will take a small
step in providing researchers with Sufi texts.
Amen
