Acronym : Tasawwuf


بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
فظ كلمة التصوف أربعة أحرف
فالتاء: من التوبة
والصاد: من الصفاء
والواو : من الولاية
والفاء: من الفناء

Tasawwuf (Sufism) could be thought of as an acronym made up of the four consonant letters: t, s, w, and f.
t stands for tawbah, repentance
s stands for safa, purity, peace and joy
w stands for wilayah, the sanctity of the lovers and friends of Allah
f stands for fana, the annihilation of self into the nothingness.

from 'The Secret of Secrets' by Hadhrat Abdul Qadir Jilani (May Allah be pleased with him).
