Sufism/Tasawwuf is the foundation of Islam - the spirit of Islam.

  • "If they ask what Love is, say: the sacrifice of will." (3:22)

    This is the deepest metaphysical proposal I have ever heard in history of religions and alchemistry.

  • instead of fully embracing the central message of Islam, namely that of unconditional surrender to the will of God and the truth of God, many Muslims created a mixture of the true teachings of Islam and their warring culture. Thereby, as also happened to the early Christian church and especially through the formation of the Roman Catholic Church, the culture of a warring people became imposed upon the true teachings of Islam.

    How can islam be the truth, when wars happen?

  • @DDrogba113 There is no Ignorance.. There is knowledge..

    Peace

  • @Shaheed1993 Kabbalah is magic!! dont follow it!!!

  • @deejaynaz0 no. Its Islam.

  • The haven is so big and the hell as well,even all us inside their still lot of spece,their is Al Quran and sunnah.who hold to this two,inshallah Allah gift Jannah.Allah Knows better who right or wrong.Avery thing will be count even is small than Atom.only Allah I worship and Muhammad his messenger

  • Wahabbis place more emphasis on outward actions more than inner intentions of the heart. All prayers and worships will be thrown in the faces of such people who pray one minute and in his heart has plans to kill innocents...sufis focus more on cleansing of heart and than actions have together have acceptance from god.

  • Sufism is very similar to Kabbalah. And you'll find it very easy to adjust to the teachings of Kabbalah which stemmed from our prophet Abraham/Ibrahim.

    Keep seeking for the truth my brothers !

  • One thing I found strange is that they said we are still "Sunni" or "Shia". I find that strange because in Sufism the only thing that exists is believer or the non-believer. All else is irrelevant. The believer is one who goes forth with love in their heart and the non-believer, one who does not. To submit to the will of Allah, is to submit to love.

  • Thanks! I love Rumi. "Religion should be a cause of love and unity. Otherwise, we are better off without it... This span of the earth is one country and mankind its citizens." From the Baha'i Writings.
