Women in Sufism

Women in Sufism are not at a noted, recorded, and talked about. It is undeniable that women have had many roles and contribution to the history of Sufism. In this video, Women in Sufism, we introduce you to the general sketch of the role of women in the spiritual path, that is, Sufism, and of the abandoned subject in the history of Sufism, that is, woman as a spiritual subject.

This was so interesting, thanks a lot !

[ravenvultura]

Excellent explanation, my friend. Thank you.

[imtiyazibnadam]

Salaam. Thanks for the amazing work you are doing. If possible, would you kindly come up with a video on Ibn Arabi's views on sexuality. This aspect has not been widely explored.

[momofthemisfits]

Very interesting! I am very interested in the concept of the levels of the heart and how to reach enlightenment in the sufi tradition.

I know its really great for targeting foreigners, but will you also try to target Indonesian audience with your essay? I think there's this huge wave of interest on channels about spirituality yet we also need more from the educational background. I didnt mean anything, but i am just so excited listening to all your video essays. Keep it up. Plus this could be your portfolio for your scholarship application.

Men and women relationship will never stay spiritual and event fall back down to corporeal if continue. This is fitra....and none is beyond fitra.

Men and women are divinely met as each other reflection as anima and animas in jungian psychology.
And this only reflects the their weakness with a intense love experience. Male and women should restraint except with permissible relationship on earth as husband and wife.

Thanks
Allah knows best.
