Who are Sufis/Dervishes and what is Sufism? In many Muslim countries, acts of religious discrimination, persecution and violence against Sufis have been taking place for centuries. And in some states, Sufism was even banned at the legislative level.
People far from Islam often see in dervishes only dancers who spin in their long skirts to fervent music at various shows and give spectacular performances. And someone begins to spin himself, without opening the Koran, without going into details about the life and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad.
So who are the dervishes/Sufis? What is Sufism? Is it necessary to join tariqa and look for your master? Is it necessary to profess Islam, maybe it is possible to be an atheist at all? About this and much more in an interview with a Russian Sufi from the ancient Sufi Tariqa Rifai.
