Let's begin by understanding the meaning of word, "Maerifah". In Sufism, ma'rifah (Arabic: معرفة, translit. maerifah, lit. 'knowledge'?) describes the mystical intuitive knowledge of spiritual truth reached through ecstatic experiences, rather than revealed or rationally acquired.

Maerifah is one of the "Four Doors" of Sufism:

A metaphor to explain the meaning of maerifah involves pearl gathering. Sharia is the boat; tariqa is represented by the pearl gatherer's rowing; haqiqa is the pearl; and maerifah is the ability to tell the difference between true and false pearls.

In short, "Maerifah" project is initiated to present a comprehensive collection of literature items that can be used for research purposes to broaden our understanding about any given subject.
