2nd in a Series of Sunday talks on Tasawwuf, Shaykh Ahmed Abud Rashid speaks at the Islamic Study Center, the zawiyaof Shaykh Nooruddeen Durkee in Charlottesville, Va, on the
theme of Suhbat - the oral tradition of Sufism. He says:
"In the Sufi tradition, suhbat holds an important and critical place. We should not in any way underestimate its value or importance as a method for coming nearer in the heart to the love and presence of the Prophet (sal) and as a means of developing the qualities of the loved
ones of the Prophet (sal) and Allah (swt). Being in outer suhbat, the company of pious people, joining in dhikr and du'a softens the heart, opens the mind and makes easier the way to be "present in the Presence.""
