Abstract	:	Ethics in Ṣūfism generally involves awareness of the universal presence of God. This, in turn, encourages lack of self-regard, resulting in selfless behaviour towards others, beyond the actions prescribed by law (sharīʿa). The topic of ethics in Ṣūfism forms one part of a spiritual system that includes rules of comportment (adab) as well as the stages (maqāmāt) and stations (aḥwāl) of the spiritual journey (sulūk). Ethics as defined in the manuals of Ṣūfism always affected the wider society, working to shape, for instance, altruistic chivalry ( futūwa) in classical Islam.
