Sufism is one of the great mystical traditions in human history, and has produced countless numbers of enlightened beings through the centuries. It is a system of self-purification and development based on the life and character of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). His was an example of how to live in perfect harmony and love with one’s Creator and His creation. In this post I would like to give an introduction to his beautiful character through a few Prophet Muhammad quotes, for the benefit of those not familiar with them, and also as a taste of honey for those who are.
