Actually, all organised religions fear the mystic experience at the heart of their own belief systems, because it cannot be controlled by priests or dogma. It is a direct experience with the Divine, open to all.

[bebedebore]

There is nothing in the Koran that forbids joy, pleasure, music. Enjoying a rave or being a hippy doesn't make you 'misguided'. As a muslim you should know that its not your place to make judgments about how others pursue a relationship with God.

[ahmedredone]

this is nothing but playing play with their evilish soul. may allah curse be upon them. they are but a devilish play

Religiosity Vs Religions

God-men and God-women are directly into mystic experience with the Divine. But the Organised religions in the name of helping for such experience end up in institutions running business establishments. Lets hope that we are led by religiosity than by mere religions.

@joyaditta01 that's an uninformed statement. certain sufi practices contradict the religion itself clearly when scripture is consulted and are taken from other religions (hinduism,etc) and are nowhere to be found in the holy book which is the highest source we have on earth. praying at graves and 'saints' claiming divinity and other acts are outside the religion. there's nothing wrong with loving god and seeking true peace on earth but why deviate the original message to fulfil ulterior motives?

Real Sufies with no religion are some sort of atheist in fact. The god they believe is the one who created this world, made pamegreat flower blush, or whoever made sugarcane sweet.At a higher level, they say we don't know who he is. In fact, we know nothing.However, real Sufi never let everyone (religious people)know about it because these people can not comprehend this. Anyone who understand Sufism reads Rumi poems and never need religion as part of his life which I think is incredible.

Sufism is the only thing that can rescue ISLAM now

@MrMooseMovies Im not Muslim but the way I understand it is, time, consciousness and the world around us change all the time. From the time when the Holy Koran was written until now we have had enormous changes.

So the word had to be corrected but NOT the message.

While I definitely enjoyed the Sufi concerts/ceremonies in Turkey, I really was moved by those I experienced in Cairo. Maybe because of the cosmetic nature of tourist-attraction dervishes (although I hope the whirlers do truly experience the divine connection), the Egyptian ceremonies used more bold tones/frequencies made by wind instruments . The teachings of Rumi/Sufism seem liberating...and consistent with recent scientific discoveries about love, sound, and healing--good stuff...

@MrMooseMovies My guess is that you didn't watch the film. 

[MrMooseMovies]

Islam is a violent mindset, based on some idea that the Angel Gabriel gave gods word to Mohamed. But the word had to be corrected by later teachings? Didn't know god made mistakes. Religions will be the downfall of humanity.
