"Tasawwuf is 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.
