What is Sufism?

It was introduced in indian subcontinent because it will make to convert hindu easier

Came here from your video about hesychasm ❤

Would love an episode on The Perennialists, I had some encounters with them and have some reservations

After coming across Rumi and his beautiful writings, I was interested to know more about Sufism. This was very informative. Thanks for posting! 👍❤

Wow the way you talk about this topic! I wish if you could talk about something like that related to Christianity.

Thanks for the Prod, I am waiting the diffusion on Zealotism…

I used to think Sufism was a heretical or at least unorthodox sect of Islam. Later I learned that Sufism IS Islam. Jesus is described as sufi, as well as many major scholars of orthodox Islam. Tasawwuf is Islam, but beliefs and practices associated with some strands of Sufism can stray towards the unorthodox and even reaching heresy.

Sufism is not islam. We don't dance especially that weird rotation move with silly clothes.

Nushrat Fateh Ali Khan is a legend his music is Divine. Very popular here in India

The Noble Naqshbandi Order and my beloved Shaykh Norjan (QS) gave me the directions to path a convert to Islam what I had searching for all my life...🙏🌸🌟⛵🐲🙏

Great details and other videos to explore here on your channel. Thank you. I'm learning a lot.👍

Nothing good comes out of it, it’s very primitive very idiotic in nature.

Light fanatical djihad,all religions coming out of Judaism,are fanatical, appealling to the dark side of the individual,the instinct,frustration,hate,lack of knowledge, understanding,science and tolerance

Don't divide Islam into sects.

I grew up Sunni Muslim and am now a practicing Hindu. This was very interesting to watch. Thanks for all yout hard work!

brilliant explanation of such a complex topic

More like Islamic Retardation.

Are all sufis muslim? Yes.
Are all muslims sufis? No.

The most interesting thing about Sufism is that the path to spiritual ascension it prescribes, is common to almost all religions and philosophies.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Interestingly, reminiscent of Sabbatianism in Judaism, it would be great if you made a video
about the Sabbatians, followers of Shabtai Zvi.

Hier heb je de Turken. Ze zuipen, bedrijven hoererij, zingen, dansen en maken muziek om in extase te komen. En als de ziel, nl het eeuwige leven uit het lichaam getreden is worden ze een met Allah, zeggen ze. Dat noemen ze fana fie Allah. Zo komen ze in het hemelse paradijs terecht, wat heel lekker voelt.

Your explanation of Sufism is beautiful.. The concepts of annihilation of the self and oneness with the divine is such a beautiful concept.. Thank you for making this video.

Sufi ism is devition from the Islam ,Mast ne dicourraged !

This was truly enlightening. Thanks a lot for these. When it comes to reach egolesness, I find the similarities between Sufism, Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhsim (and Buddhism as a whole) staggering. It would be great if you created a truly comparative analysis of the search of transcending/eliminating the idea of a self across these philosophies. I just discovered your channel. Thank you very much again!

You miss a modern time sufi the spiritual father of Pakistan Allama Iqbal R.A and his great philosophy

Try to avoid mysticism as much as i can

What an exceptional, mindful overview!

I am a Bangladeshi muslim, i like this documentary video, i believe in sufism in our religion, Islam always accept sufism work,
When you will be a person as like sufism, then you will feeling so much happy in your life, you will not have any question about the world, about politics, about financial, you will be happy with your family ❤🎉

Hey man, You know more Islam than most of the muslims & even better than our so called shaykhs. Love you , May Allah Bless you & Your Work....

Thank u so much for this video! It was really interesting and I really enjoyed it. Watching it was a task I was given by my university, but I'm so happy that studying there led me here. I really want to subscribe to u, because as an all-believer the topic of religion is smth that both interests me and that I don't have enough knowledge on unfortunately. But 1st I need to ask u a question abt 1 of my key not religious beliefs. I'm sorry if asking a totally unrelated to this topic or video question is unethical, but I really need to know what r ur thoughts on LGBTQIA+ community? I personally think they should have just the same rights as anyone else in the world as God created them the way they r and therefore they r normal like everybody else, but unfortunately there r a lot of homophobes and transphobes among religious people. Thank u for ur answer and once again I apologise if my question offended any of ur viewers who read this comment. Learning abt sufism was so interesting.

suf is a simple garment symbolize our mentality to minimize worldly life.

its a discipline of the mind and ruh. its an individual struggle. not a group, not an organization or movement.

As far as music being played and moving head or body in performing dhikr is concerned, it can also be a form of bid'ah (innovation). And bid'ah is not allowed unless there's a strong reason to create such bid'ah.

Arguments against Sufism:

1. SURAH Al-Fatiha ayat 5.
"You alone we worship and You Alone we pray for help."
-Surah Yunus ayat 18
They worship along with Allah that which does not harm them and does not benefit them. They say, "They are our intercessors before Allah." Say: "Can you tell Allah something in the heavens and on earth that He does not know?". Exalted is He and above those whom you associate with partners.
- Surah of the Crowd ayat 3
"Truly, pure faith can be dedicated to Allah alone. And those who have taken other patrons and helpers instead of Him say: "We worship them only so that they will bring us as close to Allah as possible." Allah will judge them on what they disagree on. Indeed, Allah does not guide those who lie and disbelieve."
-Crowds ayat 38
If you ask them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they will surely say, "Allah." Say, "Have you seen those to whom you are calling instead of Allah? If Allah wants to harm me, will they be able to avert His harm? Or, if He wants to show me mercy, how can they keep His mercy?" Say: "Allah is enough for me. Those who trust in Him alone put their trust in Him."
These verses are notable for the fact that modern Sufis appeal to the dead Sheikhs with the same arguments as the Meccan pagans! Namely, the Approach and Intercession before Allah! The Meccan polytheists also recognized Allah as the Creator, but worshipped Him through intermediaries, Idols! Even the order in the Opening Surah in the 5th verse is enough for many not to pray to anyone except Allah Alone, but there are still those who persist in praying to the deceased!

3. Christians and Sufis have one thing in common, manifested in the elevation of deceased people to the rank of Saints, Aulias, close to God! Allah knows better who is his Grateful slave, whereas a person does not have such knowledge and cannot choose Allah's Favorites at will! So how did they know about the position of the deceased before the Almighty and who gave them the right to "Appoint Saints"?

4. Hope, Hope is what Allah says in Surah Ibrahim 11,12 ayat, Crowds 38 ayat! If a person turns to the Dead, does He hope to help them or not? He does not just hope, he believes that the Sheikh can save him or somehow influence salvation... This is what Christians do: they ask for help, ask for salvation not from God but from the Saints and worship "God in the Saints"! The Sufi also trusts in Saints, on Amulets and scrolls of the Koran wrapped in something, on the graves of the righteous...

5. The cult of Saints, the cult of Ancestors, the cult of the dead is what has become widespread in Modern Sufism! Grave graves are visited by their adherents all over the world in search of the graves of the righteous martyrs, they make a pilgrimage to the graves and perform Istigas and Tabarruk through the graves and their inhabitants! This is one of the reasons why they are called grave-worshippers, they perform acts of worship near graves and introduce the practice of worship in cemeteries!
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Allah cursed the Jews (and Christians) for turning the graves of their prophets into places of worship." Hadith al-Bukhari 4443, Muslim 531

6. Sufis and Christians say that a prayer to the deceased is not worship, but just a request, and then they give an example of a request to the Living, supposedly it's the same thing!
Firstly, Supplication or Dua is a kind of worship and is intended for Allah Alone, secondly, have you seen a person who does Dua not to Allah!? A person who addresses a Sheikh or a Saint, just like a Muslim addresses Allah! He asks not to save Allah, gives His Object the Capabilities of Allah, the Right of Allah, and then gives as an example a request to help a Neighbor, etc
This is Absurd, the Living and the Dead are not equal!
Surah the Creator verse 22
The living and the dead are not equal. Indeed, Allah gives hearing to whomever He wills, and you cannot make those who are in the grave hear.

7. Habashism! These are modern Jahmites who, along with other practitioners of Sufism, manage to describe Allah in terms taken from Hinduism! Their description of Allah coincides with the description of Brahma among Hindus and Buddhists. (See Atma Sakshatkara 6-7, 16,29,30, 31,32,47,48 points)
Allah is not Above the Throne, Allah is not above the Heavens, not above the Creatures, He has no Image, the denial of the Ascension of the Messiah Isa peace be upon Him, i.e. a direct denial of the Quranic text...
To refute Habashism, any of the following verses is enough: Sura 4 ayat 158, Sura Power ayat 16, Sura Fences ayat 143, Sura Sunday ayat 24!

8. Likening Allah to the Created world! If the Habashites say that Allah is nowhere, then among the Sufis there are those who say that Allah is everywhere, literally!
A number of Sufis, such as Ibn Arabi, Rumi, Attar, Hallaj identify Allah with the Created world, in their works "The Unity of Being", "The Language of Birds", etc. There are special terms in Sufism for likening Allah to the universe and man, these are: Fana, Hal, Ittihad ! The beliefs of the Sufists of these schools are similar to the beliefs of Hindus and Buddhists, who claim that God is "Everything in Everything" and in fact copy these Pagan beliefs, but using Islamic terms!
Allah knows best!

All this is present in modern Christianity, in Traditional Pagan beliefs like Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Shamanism, in the practices of Yogis, etc., but all this is not in Sharia, there is no Messenger of Allah in the Sunnah peace be upon him and the blessing of the Almighty. The greatest danger of Sufism is the endowment of Sheikhs with Divine power and attributes, this is the only thing that is not forgiven by Allah!
Surah Women ayat 48!

👍🙏

Diet islam,killing with dancing virtigo

Ey İnsanlar ! Ölüm size gelmeden önce Müslüman olun,İslamı kabul edin ve İslamı araştırın ! Tanrı katında son din İslamdır. Başka dinler geçerli sayılmayacak ! Musaya İsaya inanan kim varsa Muhammede inansın ! O son Peygamberdir 😢

thank you for this amaizing work... can you please make a video on reincarnation in sufism?

We need a video about freemasonry 😊

Sounds like a bunch of mysticism to me.

Absolutely incorrect. Totally misconceived and wrong effort..
Sufism has nothing to do with islam
Islam is a beautiful religion, which deals with every aspect of life.
There is no scope or room for mysticism in Islam, rather it is totally alien to the basic philosophy of islam

Real ones watched this lastyear

Hello! Amazing video I'm going to watch 12 times again.
Around a year ago you made a video about Hesychasm, which sparked my interest in Orthodox Christianity and has continued since. I was wondering, are you possibly going to make another video about Mysticism in the Eastern Church again? You and Esoterica stump all other religious & history channels so I would love to see you touch the topic again.
Also, I was wondering, are there any books / resources on Hesychasm or the wider topic you recommend?

Up luggage this one too
Food plan? What?
If i need something what do I do?

The Shiva dance, can it be compared with Sufism ?We are the reality, because created on their image's, we are god's ,like them.🤷🏿‍♀️If other name of God is being, and we human, then means we came from God,HUMAN 👉🏾WE GOD👉🏾 BEING. ..HUMAN BEING.

love it i appreciate your work

Absolutely excellent. Thank you!
