SAİDA’S SPIRITUAL EXPERIMENT: TASAVVUF (MYSTICISM) AS THE MAIN KEY TO A MUSLIM IDENTITY

A human history is interesting with its experiments. This makes one think deep and take a pen to wrap that practice into the paper. This article is a conclusion of the spiritual life practice of Saida (me), who was born in the times of the Soviet Union, where the religious life was banned. Did an atheist system in the Soviet Union ban the way to God of people? What is that feeling which seeks the way to God? What is the Tasavvuf (Mysticism)? What is the spirituality? In order to respond to these questions, a spiritual practice of Saida, as well as Islamic Mysticism (Sufism), were conducted to examine.
