💚 From Syria ....thank you beautiful soul .....we are all One pure Love and One pure Infinite Consciousness .
Asalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh I'm a revert to Islam and am slowly opening my eyes to the truth of Islam. My initial introduction into the teachings of Islam has been mainly Salafi. After much searching and making dua'a to Allah Subhannahu wa ta a'laa to guide me to the correct understanding of the deen, I now feel like my understanding is starting to become purified. The pleasure of Allah comes not in fearing him and living in terror if his punishment. The pleasure of Allah comes from being in awe of his majesty and his love. Muslims should allow themselves to understand that the love of Allah and of his creation should be prioritised over the fear of punishment. Fearing punishment for showing love to your fellow man, regardless of their religion or persuasion is not Islamic. Only Allah can judge.
May the peace and blessings of the almighty be upon you all. Ameen.

Sufism is not islam ! Sufis are lost ! this is a satannic sect !
There is not an act of worship in Islam or a pathway that is called Sufism. Sufism is an innovation that was encouraged by despots and rulers to keep religious people away from participating actively in running the general affairs of the land. They encouraged people to isolate themselves. Otherwise, their active presence would represent a danger that could rattle the stability of such tyrannical regimes.
Those regimes aimed to suspend the rationale of those religious people and delude them that seeking personal nearness to Allah by using Thiker/ remembrance of Allah Al Mighty and other acts of worship whilst living in isolation within the society would enable them to reach a sublime position.
Those regimes will subsequently be safe from any religiously motivated uprising against the ruling elite. Initially, that was what happened, that was how Sufism first started.
Sufis fell in the tarp. They forget that Allah Al Mighty made it dutiful for each and every believer to strive and establish the Truth and Justice and enjoin Good and Prohibit Evil.
Over time and due to their isolation and wool wearing habit, new ideas and conceptions started to circulate among them. The source of that was Evil. It blew in their hearts such trends due to their isolation and loneliness.
It is a Makrooh, frowned upon, act to isolate oneself from his immediate surroundings. In addition, sticking to practical acts of worship only like prayers, fasting and supplications for example is equally frowned upon. Belief should be a holistic condition. You need both practical and contemplating acts.
“One hour of contemplation is more worthy than a year long of practical worship”, said the prophet peace be upon him and his family in Al Tuhfa Al Sunnia by Al Jaza’airi page 72.
Nabuchadnezzar ll the more spew poison hatred against Sufis the more people are getting attracted to sufism. In a way you are promoting Sufism, Sufi don't get jealous don't hate don't speak ill of others, don't make false stories like you are making
Hasan Ali I tell the truth about this satanic sect, when did the Great Prophet (p) say to be a Sufis ????
The Great Prophet would have even said that the Sufis are worse than unbelievers and that they are the people of the fire.
Wake up before it is too late the authentic Islam is that of Muhammad (p) and his holy and pure family (as).
When Imam Al Sadiq peace be upon him was asked about the Sufis, he said: “they are our enemies. Whoever is inclined to them is of them and will be gathered with them on Judgement Day. There will be people who claim that they love us, but will be inclined to the Sufis, they will resemble them, they will use their titles; they will replicate their words. Whoever is inclined to them is not of us. We reject those ones; whoever denies them and responds to their words will be granted the status of performing Jihad with the prophet peace be upon him and his family” Safinat Al Bihar by Al Qumi vol 2, page 57.
Sufism in Ahl Sunna is Irfan in Shia Islam. Irafan means awareness and consciousness and the real meaning of the word Taqwa is to be God conscientious whether you commit a Good act or refrain from a bad act. It has it roots in Quran and teaching of Ahl beit of the prophet (as). Most of Sufi shaykhs of Ahl Sunna were Sayyed and come from a lineage of Imams of Ahl beit. Like Sayyed Baha Al-deen Naqshband, Sayyed Muhiy Aldeen Chisti, Sayyed Abdul Quader Gilani, Sayyed Ahmad Rufa'ei who if from great Grand children of Imam Kazim. Have your satanic shaykh who calls other Muslim Kafir Yasir Habib has told you that Imam Musa Kazim (as) had a daughter by the name of Ayesha?? Has the son of bitch told you that Imam Ali Al Haadi had a daughter by the name Ayesha? Has the sob told you that Imam Ali bin Hussein Zain Al Abedin had som by the name of Omar Ashraf? And Imam Hassan and Imam Ali had sons named after the first 3 khalifs?
What that stupid moron tells you is not about Imam Ali as what he says everyone who did not follow the Ahl beit is purely Kaffir that means 9/10 of the Muslim Umma. Based on his understanding billions of people who lived through the ages who were not familiar with the Ahl beit are Kuffar.
Take your prophets love and shove it up your Allah's ass, pbuh.
Peace to all
Sufism is Islam itself
It is not Islamic Mysticism, it is Islam itself

Brings tears to my eyes, realizing I didn’t find sufism earlier
sufism is shirk according to the Quran.
An excellent introduction to the Sufi phenomenon. Over many decades (beginning from a very academic position) I have come to realise that the point raised in Sufism regarding different ways of viewing reality, dealt with eloquently here, is central. Quantum theory began with the problem that light is sometimes a wave and sometimes a particle. This is a problem for the intellectual mind. But thousands of years ago the Sufis understood that there is no single easy way of describing reality, and that you need to approach things from a lot of different angles and not decide that one angle is "the right one" and the others are "wrong." In science theories rise, as Newtonian physics did, but are eventually overturned by others, and this can go on forever. If that is so for what seems like a solid simple universe, how much more must it be true for such a mind boggling subject as the nature of God?
For a brilliant survey of the role of Sufis in Western history, the Sufi teacher Idries Shah's book The Sufis is vital reading.
14:27 because it's all connected.... We are all connected
This was a very wonderful presentation. Thank you. 🙏
Video begins at 22:25 thanks.

I failed to retain much of the conscious information from this lecture, but I dreamt the most vivid dreams afterwards.
Sufism is a beautiful system of religion and spirituality. I don't believe in Allah, but Sufism has helped me trendously.
KevZen2000 You do not need to believe in Allah. Believe in our creator. The one and only god
You cannot be a sufi without being Muslim. You obviously no nothing of what is called Sufism, which is the inner dimension of Islam.
sam7748 Allah is just a name. Believe the owner of the name
Yes,'Allah' is only name for who we called god,but who is he? In sufism is learn to know him ,not just by say his name and make people to feel scared to him. It all about love,he is ar rahman ar rahim.
KevZen2000. You cannot CANNOT be a sufi without belief in Allah, you stupid ignorant. Yes, ignorant and stupid. Go learn about Islam, sufism or tasawwuf is part of Islam, the prophet Muhammad was the greatest tasawwuf of all. Anyway there are no real tasawwafeen anymore. There are many stupids like you who think they know about things and run around and play and invent silly dum stuff. Take care, grow up and don't play with things you know nothing about.
Asalaam Aleikum, May the Love n Grace of the Great Mystery ever be with u all in all yer endeavors. May FANA be granted this life...Demand it of our GOD. Why wait.

অসাধারণ। Excellent
At this time I am between Islam and agnostic. I have found Islam that is moderate and full of love and spirituality.
Every religion is given by God god doesnot extremely love anyone or hate anyone
Islam is the final and last religion from God.
I'm so lucky to discover you.
Hi, lucky to find you
kindly tell me as you have said that Sufism came from Islam but Sarmoung Brotherhood where people used to practice Sufi rituals were established before the birth of Prophet Muhammad?
Sufism is the peace of the soul
Nice😄😄😄
Does anybody has the full courses?
Sufism is too advance for normal muslims. Its like getting phd in spirituality. most normal muslims especially wahabis think doing 5 times salah and living materialstic life will lead you to janna they are heavily mistaken 5 times salah is to remembering Allah (swt) but way of sufism is more intimate and personal connection with Allah(swt) that only happens when we give up materialstic desires and lifestyle and completely immerse ourselves in devotion and sing about him,praying,meditate upon Allah (swt) that gives us blissful experience.
Respected sir can I continue my M.phill English literature under your supervision or in your subjects which you teach I am really interested in these topics. Can you give me acceptance letter I am foreign students
Wonderful Explanation Sufism is the best because it fellow the holy Quran thank you 💐

Question: What is the purpose of life? why are we here?
Response 1: Man uses his intellect to answer these questions -- philosophy is born
Response 2: A tradition emerges in the Indian subcontinent where it is believed that "the self" can open the door to all answers i.e. if we somehow unlock the secrets of our own self we might be able to reach where the divine self is located. Practices and meditations are developed overtime to purify the self, travel through the self and reach reality/answers. The most prominent figure in this tradition is Buddha.
Response 3: A third tradition emerges in the Middle East where a supernatural being (God) makes a contact with humans and tells them answers to all questions -- Abrahamic faiths are born.
In Islamic tradition the scholars who created a patchwork between philosophy and Islam were known as "Mutakalimeen". They gave birth to Ilm-e-Kalam or 'scholastic theology'. Similarly the scholars who created patchwork between Islam and religions of the "self" were known as "Mutasawifeen" and they gave birth to Islamic Sufism.
Anjali Sharma u hav a rare gift.
Not my thoughts... everything copied from the thoughts and lectures of Javed Ahmad Ghamidi
Sarfaraz Khan there is not one goddamn thing good about Islam.
Kudos.

Rumi's Poem, "Love Dogs" as translated and read by Coleman Barks..
Musical accompaniment by Eugene Friesen and Arto Tuncboyaciyan.

Love Dogs by Rumi
One night a man was crying,
"Allah, Allah!"
His lips grew sweet with the praising,
until a cynic said,
"So! I have heard you
calling out, but have you ever
gotten any response?"
The man had no answer for that.
He quit praying and fell into a confused sleep.
He dreamed he saw Khidr, the guide of souls,
in a thick, green foliage,
"Why did you stop praising?"
"Because I've never heard anything back."
"This longing you express
is the return message."
The grief you cry out from
draws you toward union.
Your pure sadness that wants help
is the secret cup.
Listen to the moan of a dog for its master.
That whining is the connection.
There are love dogs no one knows the names of.
Give your life to be one of them.
Whoever knows himself has known his Lord.....🥰
Thank you.
What is sufi?
I have watched the whole video and it doesn't seem to explain what Sufi is.
22:30
This is the real religion of peace.
All religions taught us to believe in God.
Sufism is all about to know God.
Same as rumi was among believers. Shamaas tabrazi is among those who know God, Verily. Some people are like rumi they meet shamaas tabrazi.
I love when he said Artist we different kinds of people lol
Hi,
Thank you for your video.
But I would like to make a comment here, which I'm making actually.
I would like to ask you if possible, to give more details or information about it.
About being a good personal or the books than people can rely on to learn about it, what is a sufi..... etc...
Thank you and have a nice day !

The Islam religion just werent yet ready for Sufism
What does practicing help if you do it wrongly? Allah is not outside, its inside your mind bro. Maybe you should try it and maybe you'll get that hate out of your perception.
@@kstronautti7930 Allah is not inside any human being, bro, you are wrong and deluded there! Allah subhana wa ta'la is in the heaven on His arsh. Allah is All Knowing about every big and little creation in the universe, that is what many people confuse with Him being with us, He is »with« us in His knowledge. Read the Qur'an, it will make you understand the nature of Allah azza wa jall.
Well congratulations if you have a good relationship with God to refer to it constantly. I kind of have doubts about it, but, maybe. Various religions do have notions of seniority and over formality, like the Japanese.
Follow the path of Allah,His messengers and the companions of the prophet..
Do not create innovations..
Lest you end up alone,not in the ummah of our prophet..

Listen, O dearly beloved!
I am the reality of the world,
the centre of the circumference,
I am the parts and the whole.
I am the will established
between Heaven and Earth,
I have created perception in you
only in order to be the
object of my perception.
If then you perceive me,
you perceive yourself.
But you cannot perceive me
through yourself,
It is through my eyes
that you see me and see yourself,
Through your eyes you cannot see me.
Dearly beloved!
I have called you so often
and you have not heard me
I have shown myself to you so often
and you have not
seen me.
I have made myself fragrance so often,
and you have not smelled me.
Savorous food,
and you have not tasted me.
Why can you not reach me
through the object you touch
Or breathe me through sweet perfumes?
Why do you not see me?
Why do you not hear me?
Why? Why? Why?
by Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi
Im assured this is very close, if not what God says, looking down at humans on Earth. I am a Christian, but I have this same understanding. Pertaining to God...he sees us, and says these things to himself/ mankind. Why do we not seek him& see that he is good?..he is love. The way to peace.

@@CHRISTChrysalisInManhaim Love rests on no foundation. It is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end
Rumi
@@NAKK786 it's funny that you say that because my God says..
"I Am the Alpha& Omega, the beginning and the end..." - Almighty God
He also says he is the Rock, the foundation, the cornerstone of exsistance.
He says he is the stone, and the way to everlasting.
It takes a certain level of faith, to believe in Christ. To believe the Almighty God, a spirit, could create himself, in human form, and still remain in the spirit, whole, and simultaneously in a body, on Earth, Emmanuel ( The Christ) coming down to live with us, suffer with us, only to die for us, sacrificing his divine and innocent blood, to cover our debt of sin.. Creating a way to reconciliation for us, back to his Almighty self/ being. Giving us rules and guidance, to live by while here, and a sure way to cleanse our souls of unrighteousness.. And our tainted ways and hearts, in the world. That we may be presented clean before him, through acceptance of his sacrifice, that we would be made holy... Which we must be to accompany the Holy of Holies presence, through faith in his sacrifice, and obedience to his guidance.
It may be hard for non- believers to accept/ comprehend. But I have a relationship with my God, Christ, who is alive, and though the concept is hard to grasp( even for myself at times), he has proven himself to me, to be the ultimate embodiment of love...and from where all good things flow and I believe in him, and have been made anew, day by day, getting to know this loving God. But to each his own..
I have seen too much of him in the world and my life, to deny my personal testament. All the best to you. Shalom

Where are all of these gods? While the people and the earth struggle under the tyranny of others who cause pain and suffering for their pleasure and their own gain, these Gods have done nothing to stop them. They have never shown themselves or revealed themselves in any way, other than in the minds of some. They continue to allow horrific acts of violence against people and animals and we are only given a promise of a better life after the suffering of this one is over. Have they made an error? Are they not able to stop suffering or are they just unwilling? There are hundreds of religions too, each one saying they are the true religion and the others are wrong? How would we know, wouldn't there be a clear choice and option if the date of your skill depended on following the rules and teachings of that god!? It seems to me that there are many unanswered questions when it comes to religion and one should study and use common sense when deciding what path to choose.
You are 100% right
I can't speak for Judaism or Islam, but I was always taught in Christianity, that the creator imbued us with free will, the ability to make our own decisions. So while we may do as we please the challenge is to live as he asks us to live and in return peace and forgiveness and redemption can all be achieved. Your soul will be saved if you uphold your end of the deal. He will uphold his end.
After watching this, I still don’t understand..

El Suhuf ( Electric seeds of Hi Ro fallen )
Thus the true name of the fallen ones are Sufi the light bringer ( Lighting , Ziggarat )
The First (fallen ire seed of the exosphere , the crossing) seed called fire or Devil interacted with Oxygen and created the fallen seeds ire oxygen nuclide (fusion ) in the thermosphere. So Fire first born son , O He lium , THE MOIST HIGH OXIDIZED SEED OF HELIOSPHERE or the Moist High . Helium is second in rank of the nobles behind Hi Ro because he is the second highest of the elements. O He has been assigned as your Moist High and Most High because its resistance to boiling and second lightest behind Hi Ro.
Helium who is also known as heat ( He atom , Helium atom cross with oxidized molecules ) Is the Father of Jesus the Clouds . It is O He who enables jesus to be lifted up back into the heavens !
Sufi's say. Ity all offshoots of Deen.
Jesus is Lord to the glory of the Father.
Sophism is not spiritual dimension of Islam. It is a bluff. It is a different, parallel and opposite religion. Since it has to survive in Muslim society, initially it claims to follow ‘sharriyet’ & practices the tenets of Islam. But as one goes deeper to the level of ‘tareeqat’ and ma’refet/Haqeeqat, the reality comes out in full colour. There is no room here to discuss its basics and components. Those interested are advised to read the books by knowledgeable scholars. May Allah SWT save us all from this zalalat! Amen.
He spent more time speaking nothing
That's because you understand NOTHING!
This ain’t right. Sunnis and some Shias are the only right religion not Sufism this is fake
What a waste of time. You didn't even come close to answering the question "what is sufism?" Maybe there's more to this guy's actual full presentation but this video is basically useless.
The reason Allah says poets are strayed off the path and misguided and only atrayers and misguided like Sufis, Orafaa and those who follow poets follow them is because, they Do Not have any Instructions as to how to save themselves and go back to the heaven.
Allah does not call poets misguided once, Allah said Mohammad was not a poet but a prophet. This must be where you are confused. We cannot be Mohammad, he was the last prophet, but we can be poets. Mohammad was not a mere poet is the message.
keep smoking drugs
I am pleased you raise this point. Perhaps it is true that mystics want only union with God. Even Heaven will not suffice. The relentless longing for God may crowd out all considerations of self in the end.
You are incorrect here because you are mislead by those who say that sufism is to dance and not care. Sufis, throughout history, have tried to reach perfectness in worship and were well read in Quran and Sunnah.
Jesus is the only way.
Say you
I feel our soul is god and all living creature have soul
@@shawna5706 what about the mother? He...He....He...He...Father....Son...His prophets...from Adam (He) to Mohammed (He). but there is no life and no creation without the feminine. Most original spiritual systems realize that the creator is bigger and beyond the human concept of gender
