Summary/Abstract: Tasawwuf is an authentic Islamic discipline, such as fiqh, tafsīr, hadīs etc. Tasawwuf is not mystics, nor philosophy, rather it is the essence of Islamic spirituality. Gnosis and upbringing are its two main determinants so that it is ingrafted into the very core of the Islamic concept of education. The witness to that is also Gazi Husrev Bey, the founder of the religious higher education in our region, who also built a hanikah – a school for spiritual education whose attending was an integral part of education in that time – right next to his Madrasa. The Islamic community and its educational institutions are in an urgent need of reintroduction and revitalization of the subject tasawwuf in curriculums, as a basic precondition of the contemporary methodology of spiritual upbringing.
