Wow! This was an amazing documentary! There was so much in this that reminded me of my own spiritual studies! (Kabbalah, Judaism, etc.) And isn't amazing, that through music, and a real, communal search for Truth & Light... how easy it is for people of all backgrounds & faiths to come together, and basically all serve the SAME God! Not different ones! It's quite amazing!
I hope that the more extremist voices in Islam will be silenced one day, and that they'll find themselves on the Sufi path!
@XxRomanov93xX as-salamu alaykum, Ouch brother I am an American and I love Sufism, I think of myself as a Sufi, you will be faced with ignorant people from all places all you can do is walk your own deen, and show them Islam some will see the light other will not, to me its all about my deen with Allah, and peace.
Can you post the extras to the dvd of this film? The footage is amazing. I have been wanting to see it very much. Thanks for putting this up. It is very inspiring.
@tjb70 Come and see where Sufis live, or where Sufi Sheikh have moved to live! Sufis don't put their cases forward, neither they plead it! :) Its not that way to be pleaded, but to be moved on and experienced!
i believe this documentary will cloud orthodox muslims views on sufism, this does not portray sufism for what it actually is. Sufism is more based around the pillars of islam and follows the rules and principles set down by the Prophet (may peace be upon him).
@haramacad the sooner the better. Islam is a silly, childish and ruining the world. It's not real! Read a fucking science book! Allah is made up by men
i got 2 b honest, i always felt attracted 2 sufism since i was little, its very nice and mellow and all that, but its wrong, its not really Islam, though sufism came from Islam, like the Shia, it is now something far from Islam. The Music, Poems,Love,Stories and legends of sufism maybe appealing, but its all wrong.
Or maybe because Sufism appeals to the divinity within you . Buddha once said do believe anything, just because it is said. Or written in religious text books etc.. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. Funny thing this is said by all those found god or already born into this world as god. The Enlightened ones. Krishna Jesus Buddha Rumi list goes on..
@thewatermelonfan BROTHER SUFISM IS NOT NO RELIGION AND IT IS NOT LIKE SUNNI AND SHIA THE REAL SUFISM IS THROUGH THE SUNNI AND IT IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO TRAIN TO BECOME JUST LIKE BEING A DOCTOR ALSO THIS IS NOT THE REAL SUFISM THE REAL SUFISM IS FULL SUNNAT AND SHARI'A AND MAKING ALLAH HAPPY IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU GET ANY FALSE INFORMATION PLZ
@thewatermelonfan, i hope this is not your final conclusion, because you couldn't be further from the mark. you use the word 'mellow', but I can't think of a path that is more arduos and perilous, more demanding of the human personality than it. I will simply say that keep an open heart.
@thewatermelonfan Research about Ashaab e Sufaa(ra), Awais Qarni(ra), Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani(ra), Moulana Rumi(ra), Imam Ghazali(ra), Rabia Basri(ra), Bayzaad Bastami(ra), Muhiudeen Chisti(ra), Ali Hajwairi(ra), Sultan BaHu(ra), Waqee bin Al Jarah(ra), the Shayokh of Imam Abu Hanifa(ra), Al Jazoli(ra), ....
Did they forget Iran where all began? Rumi in Turkey!? Did BBC forgot to mention that he was persian and his poems are in peersian! Sufism is not bigger anywhere in the islamic world than Iran so why wasn't it mentioned?
Didnt black people get lynched just for being black not 40 years ago, Didn't 6 million get killed for no other reason but for believing in their faith not 60 years ago? I dont see this as representations of Christianity and nor should you see nut jobs as being representatives of Islam
persian is a language. Rumi borin in Afghanistan and spent most of his life in Turkey and he was Sunni. Iran has a barbaric regime. Dont stone people!
osama bin laden and al"cia"da/al"mossad"a were mossad/cia creation...they're made for PSY OPS purposes for one goal destroy islam from within...sufism is the pure nature of islam
You have to remember that is a westernised view of a very fundamental and intrinsic Islamic Tradition which is based on Quran and Sunnah, regardless of the wobblers have to say. This series displays the fact there are mroe sufis than wobblers as Sufi are THE true/original muslims!!!! May ALLAH may put everyone on the sufi path
I liked Sufism's key values of tolerance,pluralism, and spirituality, I'm a Muslim and I highly respect these people because their tolerant and they don't impose their interperatation of Islam on people like the 'cough' Wahabis 'cough'.
bro i totaly agree with you.....wahabism is a clut and we need to get ride of it....getin rid of wahabism from islam...it will bring peace and will change image of islam in non muslims eye.ameen sufism and ahle sunnah waljamat
@themuslimburro that's a ridiculous statement. I appreciate the focus on internal betterment, the beautiful poetry and music from sufism but backwards practices of praying at graves and others are influenced by other religions (hinduism,etc) and are outside islam. the 'values' you mention exist in islam anyway but your comment implies otherwise and seems uninformed. loving god and seeking peace on earth are what we strive for but why distort the original message to fulfil ulterior motives?
His closing comment seems as little unfortunate - presenting a rather polarised view of Islam - but a very interesting programme all the same. Thanks for posting it ;)

Why, then, do peaceful, tolerant Sufis need a non-Muslim presenter to plead their case? If Sufis are the face of "peaceful" Islam, LET THEM SHOW IT!

Sufism is based on the purification of the heart. Nothing in Sufism is out of the Qur'ahn. Sufi's are very lively people!
