The Mystics of Sufism | The Inward Path of Islam #shorts

Sufism is a mystical and contemplative dimension of Islam. It is a spiritual path that focuses on seeking a direct and personal experience of the Divine. The term "Sufi" originally referred to those who wore wool (suf in Arabic) as a symbol of their detachment from material possessions and worldly desires. Sufism emerged within the early centuries of Islam and has since evolved into various schools and orders, each with its own practices and teachings. Sufis seek to overcome the ego and attain a state of selflessness and surrender to the Divine will. One of the most renown Sufis is the Persian poet Rumi #shorts

These shorts are my place of peace and have led me to explore and expand many different paths to understanding the bigger picture of our existence.
Thank you for the gifts you share with us.

Tawheed is not "the unity WITH God" but the oneness OF God"

Today is the happiest day of my life that I saw you interesting on Sufism. Thank you for giving time to Sufism. Everyone has equal right on Sufism. Those who hate Sufism, they hate love and reality because Sufism is pure love. 🌹

my fave rumi quote, and also a key mindset to manifestation of your dreams:
"when I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it."

learned it from vishen lakhiani of mindvalley😎💪👍.

I personally believe sufism is something that can't be orally explained but can be felt by heart.❤

[colonelradec]

I'm a Christian but some of the wisest sayings I have ever heard comes from sufism. The peace love and harmony of it all is beautiful. And just the shear wisdom.

A lot of people don’t know, but where I am from in Africa their are Sufi muslims out here which seclude themselves from the general population and seclude themselves, to avoid distractions from this world so they can devote all their time to worshipping Allah. Some of them are so detached from this world they avoid women and marriage completely and remain celibate their entire lives And so they practice a concept known as “Semen Retention” where they cultivate the masculine essence and energy and use it to reach spiritual enlightenment. Which is why Sufi Muslims have a glow and radiance in their face also know as “noor” as they devote all their time in praising Allah. However as stated you won’t find these individuals in the general population as they tend to seclude and isolate themselves in rural areas. These guys remain celibate and devote their entire lives to Allah and hate this materialistic world. They live a very minimalistic life and detach themselves from owning and enjoying the pleasures of this world in fear of becoming attached to the materialistic world.

I recently started learning about Sufism. I love poetry and want to learn more as I’m currently studying Christianity, Judaism & the most beautiful & eloquent Islam.

Mevlana Celaleddin Rûmi was born in Afghanistan and died in Türkiye. Persians were born in Iran as far as we all know. Even today, Mevlana spreads the good for the humanity and for the peace that are the essence of Islamic spiritual world. “Come as you are. Be as you are.”

My grandpa was a published Persian poet and writer who wrote about women’s rights during the kings reign. I grew up till the revolution with him reading me Persian poetry. If I could only turn back time I would in a split second.

[DoreenBellDotan]

Do you know that the most popular writer in Iran is Rumi? There is nary a home in Iran that doesn't have a collection of Rumi's teachings and poetry.
Sanity will reign again.

There was a book I found in the 1980s.. Mysticism by Evelyn Underhill... she said that the mystical experience crosses the boundaries of religion, it is the same throughout the human race and she quoted the sufi, but from what she said, being a Sufi in Islam is probably more dangerous and difficult (at least, in ancient times)than being a Gnostic is in Christianity, in the Middle Ages. Being a Gnostic, well you get the point.

[humaira]

Thank you sir for writing correctly about Sufi Islam .

I found the best description of sufism


LOVE GOD AND LOVE HUMANITY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD .

[s.p.]

Rumi is one of my favorite poets. I love his words

[wadiemaroudi]

Thank you for keeping us enlightened 🙏

[lightofall]

I'm Persian and Irish they tried to break my ties to my ancestors but I'm learning again and also a poet and musician. I have much works to get out. I also died and came back 🙏🏻 many eternal blessings.

I live in Tzfat in Israel, which is known as a main center of Kabbalah. What is less widely known is that Sufis flourished here too and the Jews who learned Kabbalah and the Sufis collaborated in their religious studies and cooperated closely in various walks of life. I've heard from some of the scions of the old families here in Tzfat that there was a time when Jews and Arabs were real friends in this time. I'm sure sanity will reign again.
There are still Jews who study Kabbalah and Sufi in the nearby town of Kadita.

[barney]

Rumis poems are also inspired by Buddhism which was common around the Afghanistan area not so long ago.

Sufism
Hinduism
Taoism
Buddhism
Mystic/ancient Christianity

and every other religion or philosophy like Stoicism, ALL point to the same “thing” or truth from different angles.
It’s not about one being correct and others wrong.
They all share the same truth

ALL IS ONE
Unity
Love
God is infinent intelligent energy
God is Awareness
We are Awareness
Creator and creation is One
Everything is an expression or emanation from God.

❤🙏
