Kurb and Bu'd in the thought of sufi

We studied the concepts of "kurb" and " bu'd" that are less common in sûfî literatüre. We analyzed the both concepts in the light of verses and hadiths and tried to explain the subject in the line with Sufi's opinions our study contains that; How can we closed to Allah?, What are the sings of falling apart from Allah?, What are the ways of feeling close and distant to Allah ? and the reansons of this. We tried to answer these questions like that. Kurb ise the way of closing Allah by following the anders of Allah and worshipping in vain Allah. Bu'd is the way of distanting from Allah by going againot the arders and prohibitions of Allah. Allah created lots of ways the people. These ways ensure close to Allah. The obligatory worships such or going to pilgrimage, sacrificing, fasting, praying and patience thanks prayer, dhikr the other vain worship are the waysof closing to Allah. The person who loves only mortal life loses the right of being close to Allah. The heart of people can avoid the fobding of mortal life by fastig, apologizing, prayer. The servants of Allah should spend their lives by trying to be close to Allah and not to be close to mortal life issues. Keywords: Sufism, kurb, bu'd, fasting, prayer, sacrifice, pilgrimage
