Ethics
Sufi ethics are rooted in divine love and compassion. The Prophet taught: "None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself."
Sufi ethical principles:
• Love for God leads to love for all creation
• Compassion toward the faults of others
• Generosity in thought, word, and deed
• Truthfulness in all circumstances
• Humility before divine majesty
Ethics are not rules, but expressions of inner spiritual states.
