- The Sufis, by Idries Shah. Read by David Ault
‘Perhaps the best introduction to the body of Shah’s work, the most comprehensively informative. And one is immediately forced to use one’s mind in a new way.’
- The New York Times
When it first appeared in 1964, The Sufis was welcomed as the decisive work on the subject: rich in scope, clearly explaining the traditions and philosophy of the Sufis to a Western audience for the first time.
In the five decades since its release, the book has been translated into dozens of languages, and has found a wide readership in both East and West.
It is used as a text in scores of leading universities around the world, and the material contained within it has been applied by psychologists and physicists, by school teachers, lawyers, social workers, and by ordinary members of the public.
Ted Hughes wrote of it: ‘An astonishing book. The Sufis must be the biggest society of sensible men on earth’; and Nobel laureate Doris Lessing said of it: ‘I had waited my entire life to read this book.’

Islam!! Peace and love everyone!💚💚
Peace.
سلام عليكم..
Its Sad to see even not a Suprise anymore some Dogmatism comments.
Its more deeply complex in context and experience.
I understand the fear of going away from the classical Sources.
I see Sufism if following Basic Aqeda..
Creed.
A Perfect Deen سبحان الله
Insights and perspective differing and that's a part of the Test.
Beautiful. Thank you.
Sufi=muslim
it's an experiencial knowledge
That cannot be learnt from those who have not experienced it
It's not about understandings, but rather beholding..
I’ve experienced reading your comment, and behold it is in my hand.
Yet the equation is incorrect…
@@patrickthornton2179 - A reading experience is in a hand, correct. Now apply the equation.
@@patrickthornton2179 Tbh, Westerners taking Sufism out of Islam smells of dishonesty and appropriation. Sufism is a part of Islam, whether you want it to be or not
@@patrickthornton2179 if it's wrong tell us what is right?
Prophet Muhammad peace upon him is the teacher who all influenced all those scholars so call sufi ..sufism is just a description of pure muslim who followed the the prophet advises in life and towards the creator .
Let the peace fall upon us living here now. Muhammad is dead and the peace is wasted with him.
@@patrickthornton2179 I hope you come to the Understanding. Nothing is wasted
@@patrickthornton2179 NOT DEAD YOU IGNORANT FOOL.
What you believe you're seeking is Him. There is no sufism without Him. He is God's Mercy to the worlds. Be careful with your words, else you will suffer.
@@HenryTheIVsir explain..I am not bright .
Our Souls were created by God thousands or may be millions of years ago(i.e. a very very long time ago). Then the souls were entered in the human body and sent on earth(baby),(for test). We will all die one day. But this death is for this world. It is not in fact death, it is just a returning of soul back to the Creator from where it came from. And the humanly body remained in this world where it belonged and Soul went where that belonged. So, in fact, there is no death for soul ever. Soul is to live forever. (Body in this world was just a representation of soul).
This is so much knowledge if you don’t know.
Thank you.
Thank you. Priceless.
Very informative. Thank you.
Brilliant thank you ❤️
wonderful..thank you
Este libro ha sido y es importante para mi. No siempre fácil de comprender.
Excellent video 🙏🏼 But please correct the title to ‘Ibn Arabi’ who is al Cheikh al Akbar. Ibn Al Arabi is another writer :)
Masallah
Amazing work! ❤️
MERCI,THANK YOU,TRANSLATIONIN FRENCH?
Son of Hatem taaee!, I did not know this. thanks.
This is not the famous Hayem at-Taaee. One which you are assuming is a generous person before the rise of Islam in Arabia.
I taught a descendant of Hatem taiy in Saudi Arabia.

Abn Arabi ... not Ibn Alaraby ... that’s a different writer

Wow I didn't know he was the son of Hatim Taee
Son of Abdullah ibn Abdul-Muttalib and Āmina bint Wahb
Would have been earlier to understand if the narrator lost the afflicted accent ..
Sorry, Mohmd was a brutal warlord... Sufi's were not aware of that?
Not sure what he means by calling Ibn 'Arabī "one of the most profound metaphysical influences on the Christian world." That is not at all accurate. Christian metaphysics were already thoroughly worked out hundreds and hundreds of years before Ibn 'Arabī was born. If anything, he has influenced by Christian metaphysics, not the other way around.
can you give us names? I can only think of Augustine of Hippo.
@@atilla4352 Names of Christian metaphysicians? Sure: the Apostles, St. Dionysius the Areopagite (this is someone who likely had a profound influence on Ibn 'Arabī himself), St. Irenaeus, St. Justin Martyr, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Tertullian, St. Athanasius, St. Gregory of Nyssa, St. Gregory the Theologian, St. Basil the Great, St. John Chrysostom, St. Ephrem the Syrian, St. Ambrose, St. Augustine, St. Cyril of Alexandria, St. Cyril of Jerusalem, St. Isidore of Seville, St. Maximos the Confessor, St. Isaac the Syrian, St. Sophronius of Jerusalem, St. John of Damascus, Theodore Abu Qurrah, St. Photios the Great, St. Symeon the New Theologian, etc.
That's just to name a few. There are innumerable others, and all of those are just ones that predate Ibn 'Arabī, with some of them predating him by as much as over 1000 years. Christian metaphysics was well established, at the very least, centuries before Ibn 'Arabī was born, and if anything it influenced him, not him it.
You surely are wrong by saying he was influenced by Christianity. Its not about who are before or or after . But I agree Sufi has nothing to do with anything apart of Islamic faith .
A Brilliant copy of ADVAIT VEDANTA ......discovered in India in 3000 BC....
Its very different from advaita vedanta if you study it deeply and also its more beautiful.
@@interestinglife5994 How is it different ?
Idn Arabi .... was a Muslim by name.... He invented new new beliefs that go against the classic beliefs that the Prophet (pbuh) taught us...
You are totally wrong . Offffffff unbelievable how easy you say such things !
True indeed, yet all these so called sufis glorify him smh
Sufism is not part of Islam. Begun by adding bidah inside the religion, proceeded by undermining the Rasulullah and then the ultimate is deleting the concept of one eternal god

Don't give such judgment without knowing totally
What do you know about Sufism?
Suffism is not Islam nor does it has anything to do with Islam. Its rather a different religion based on whims and heresies. A deviant, sham and shameful religion. Cloak and dagger. Islam is Love, Peace, Truth, Salvation.
Huzaifah Ali Sufism originated after the death of prophet in 632 but didn’t develop into orders until the 12th century when mongols and crusedors destroying islam,killing the Muslims,the greatest Sufi descendant of prophet Muhammad (pbuh) abdul qadir jilani (ra),imam gajjali,moulana rumi,shams e Tabriz,hasan al basri,the greatest conqueror of Jerusalem salauddin ayubi was a Sufi,the conqueror of constantinepole sultan Muhammad al fateh was a sufi who was predicated by the prophet Muhammad (pbuh).the world need the Sufi order again to stop the hijacking Islam from the wahabi,salifi,deobandi,la mazhabi,ahlul Hadith,kahrizis they are the soul route of terrorist.all these isis,taliban came from this wahabi,slafi movements.
If you consider yourself as a Muslim a believer... Please make sure your beliefs are inherited from the Prophet (PBUH) and his pious Sahabas.. not from the people afterwards .. May Allah have his mercy on all of us Amin!
