Abstract

The urgency of the problem under investigation is conditioned by the need to study religious philosophy as a school of thought, without which it is impossible to develop a humanistic worldview in the global world. The purpose of the study is to contribute to the further development of the international academic community that can stimulate the critical transition to global governance in the world of the humanistic, progressive interests of the majority of people with the help of the best achievements of Islamic science. The authors use the axiological approach to the study of the subtlest links between religion, philosophy, science, as well as art, where the basis of the interrelashionship are the sacral texts of al-Quran and Sunnah, reflected through the ideas of Sufism. According to al-Ghazali, "The criterion of true Sufism is the absence of contradictions with the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad”. The most important results of the study include the solution of the problem of meaning and contexts of definitions of Sufism; the problem of spiritual knowledge and ethics in Sufism; the connection of Sufism and science through the problem of information; the place of Sufism in the context of world culture.
