Journey of an American whirling dervish

“Sema is not dance; it is Dikhr (remembrance). We turn with creation, saying Allah.”

On Seb-i Arus, an American whirling dervish shares how love brought him to the path of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi and Islam.

O you who have believed, fear Allah and seek the wasilah to Him and strive in His cause that you may succeed.
Quran 5 35

Mawlana is one of the wasilah..

Ila mawlana rumi thumma ila RasuluLlah, bisirril fatihah

[Aanandlahar]

Just by visiting Hazrati Mevlana Rumi's resting place, this man is blissed out with *_Zikr e Khuda._*

Can God's rememberance or Zikr Allah be Shirk?

Some misguided ones call this Shurk!

[jiensuyang]

American and dervish are synonymous terms. Make no mistake about it.

[Aanandlahar]

Please don't think Niyaz Penjeresi is wrong.
We're indeed Niyazmand of Spiritual help.
And the one who fulfills our Niyaz does so with God's power.

Mevlana is a channel of only God's power because *_La Hawla Wa La Quwatta illa Bi Allah_*

[Aanandlahar]

It's not just us looking for Walis of God. They're also looking for us.

_Teshnegān Gar Aab Jooyānd az Jehān_
_Aab Jooyad Ham Be-Aalam Teshnegān_
~ Hazrat Mevlana Rumi

Teshnegan = Thirsty, Gar = If, Aab = Water, Jooyānd = Look for, az Jehān = from the world
Aab Jooyad = Water looks for, Ham Be-Aalam = Also in the world

*Meaning -*
If the thirsty look to find water from the World,
Water also looks to find thirsty in the World.

How beautiful!
There are so many things Prophet Muhammad SAW did not do, yet the criticizers do it .

Warning: This is not from the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ! No innovation in the deen will be accepted by Allah (reported in the 40 hadiths of Imam Nawawi).
May Allah unite us as one. Amin.
