By understanding tasawwuf, we can reconnect to Allah and make us stronger during the time of turbulence. It can change our outlook of life and make us have a stronger personality. We will become more calm, more focused and more productive. Tasawwuf give the meaning of life, something that Western philosophers and psychologists have tried to achieve but failed to deliver.
