Naqshbandiyya - The "Orthodox" Sufi Order? 

Shariah the commands of Allah you have to follow. We have to be Muslims 1st thensufies

Well what does shari'a law mean? It's such a vague word, everyone has their own definition and criteria of what shari'a means so at the end of the day, it's void of any consensus and meaning Edit: it's really hard to find even two people in the sufi orders who agree on what shari'a means in practice. Yes, most may agree in theory though

@Ali Baba your remark is true regarding my wrong terminology I've used, I'll give you that but how is it relevant to what my point is?

@Ali Baba yeah, but what's the point of believing in something ill defined?

@Ali Baba what I mean is that the rules found in the Islamic books of jurisprudence are not matching what people believe.

This channel is indeed a real gem. May Gog Bless you with a long healthy Life here and in the Hereafter, Brothers.

@@pedrojorge8942 God*... May God bless you as well 😊 with successful life and eternal life.

I agree. That’s the problem with the way Salafis tend to present Sufi practices. As if all of them do not follow sharia and just dance around in mazars. Whereas the spread of Islam by large numbers happened at the hands of Sufis and they were at the forefront of many social and political movements. The first anti colonial uprise in Indian subcontinent was started by one Sufi leader and one Hindu spiritual guru who actively took up arms to fight the British colonizers. There are many more such instances. Unfortunately, the wahabis and salafis draw a picture of the Sufis that make them look like lunatics and paint themselves as logical modern monotheists. Which is ironic considering Sufism dates waaay back even before Ibn Taymiyah was even born. Anyway, I appreciate your comment, thank you.

Mashallah

Thank you for further clarification on the topic brother.

Aghrr the ego! After years of doing the work as honestly and earnestly as i could (although at times i was very lazy), I would now say that there are no specific rules, be it loud or silent dhikr, because "one technique would supposedly tease the ego", which is what we want to watch in ourselves. If all roads lead to Rome, likewise all techniques lead to God and it really does not matter if a person has a big ego, or enjoys the sound of his/her own voice or likes to show off, because it is important to experience the ego and recognise it in order to reach self-knowledge and the divine qualities as well as realise the ultimate, ie. 'there is no other God but God' (La ilaha illallah), which is tantamount to saying that All that Is is God. In my personal experience, it takes a long time to understand all the tricks of one's ego and arrogance, and the essential ingredient is sincerity, courage and honesty with oneself to look at one's shadow self. Rules are always a frame supposed to have a deeper meaning, but they can also be a distraction from the goal because focusing too much on the form can stop the flow and experience with God. This is why I cannot and could not adhere to the Naqshbandi tariqa or other similar turuq.

@@latifa1310 interesting take, what tariqa do you adhere to now?

@@ahmyk9190 I do not adhere to a tariqa anymore but used to follow a Mevlevi tariqa which I left because it no longer resonated due to the dysfunctionality of its people who I feel did/do not understand the true meaning of Service to others ('Khidma'). However I will always be grateful to all the spiritual gifts and experiences I received and to the inner beauty I saw in most of its people even though many of them were dysfunctional. I liked the fact that men and women are mixed, but that's personal to me and I respect women who prefer their own intimacy together with other women only. I visited some other tariqat but they resonated even less with me. I do not have a sheikh or sheikha but I met a true sheikh who does not call himself a sheikh. We all need a sheikh to start with and the different styles of Shuyukh correspond to the multiple types of personalities. But at some point we understand that everybody is our sheikh in that everybody is a messenger of God and is a reflection of our self and a mirror, as such if we are truly honest with ourselves, we know what we need to work on. I learned to be very attentive to the messages I hear or see because within these, there is a lesson for me or some gift from God. When I need help with something specific, I ask God and the answer comes either in a dream, as a thought (inner message) or through someone, or a video, etc...God is my ultimate guide and his path is my tariqa...a rocky path but worth it.

Who's Dr Chittick?

How does the Naqshbandi tariqa work? Is there a difference between Naqshbandis from Indonesia and Naqshbandis from Turkey, Cyprus such as Shaykh Nazim (Qaddas Allahu Sirrehu). I know Shaykh Luqman Efendi, the khalifa of Shaykh Abdulkerim Kıbrısi (Q.A.S), is from Indonesia. He has an Ottoman Dergah in New York.

@@DarioHaruni each schools have major practices that similar & other minor practice had a little differences.

and I agree with what he says about ibn Arabi being misunderstanding. for I have deep love for this order AND for ibn Arabi.

@love ismailism no, I saw a video on it's conversion which led me to this video.

Yourself is still jahil with your own life on earth. So how can it be possible for you to know and to understand the life in the hereafter? There will be no peace on earth until you realize your own insignificance and it is your imagined self-importance that led to the downfall of your religion. People have gradually been moving away from a superstitious mindset, a primitive dependence on metaphors like Heaven and Hell and into a mature realization that the reality the five senses is the only reality. You are adult and should act and think like adult.

@ Who do you think you are, to talk to me in such a manner. I didn't address you first of all, nor have I "shoved my religion" down your throat. I have witnessed events in my life that have led my certitude that Islâm is True. What do you know about me or the things I have seen? And then you go on and ramble about how their would be peace until we realise our "insignificance". First of all, no human is insignificant to begin with. Secondly, Muslims have been martyred in the name of secularism and other ideologies and you're trying teach us about peace? Even now as I'm writing this there are Muslim Uyghurs in concentration camps being pressured to denounce their Faith. "People have moving away from a superstitious mindset , a primitive dependence on metaphors like Heaven and Hell into a mature realisation that there is no reality beyond the 5 senses". What an arrogant outlook. People have simply abandoned their former Faiths in favour of Empiricism and Darwinist Evolutionism. There's nothing "mature" about that. Who are you to say that being an adult means being an atheist? Are you too dukn to realise that throughout history adult humans have believed in religions until recently? And you're acting all of a sudden as if you figured everything out. If so, then please answer this. What brought everything untk existence. You cannot answer this with your 5 senses, so don't try to act smart with me.

@ "Thousands of religious followers have claimed and witnessed the same events" I haven't even told you the things I have witnessed and yet you act as if you've been told by followers of other faiths. And if rather the case, why should it be relevant to me? Whatever they claim to have been subjected to can never serve as proof for me. "...as how thousands of Muslims can do brutal things each year or month, while billions of others like yourself never seen bothered about it." Firstly, you who are you to say that we dont seem bothered by it. Muslims are the number one victim of terror attacks. People like me (Sufis) are especially targeted. Thirdly, most Muslims condemn the attacks unlike some very few. I know the Ummah better than you do as I am a part of it. Thirdly, I'd like to see the statistics proving that they number up to thousands. Now to answer your foolish rant about how I can believe that Islam is the Ultimate Truth and how Islam will changes and blah,blah. What I believe has nothing to do with you and you have no right to come to me and disrespect me like that. And who told you that Islâm is changing? Where is the change? Stop talking about things that you don't know of. If I feel in my heart that this is the Truth then who are you to try to ridicule me for it. You are blind and arrogant that is the problem. Now you keep implying that Islam is not the Truth but are you even searching for the Truth? Have you ever asked God to prove Himself to you, or asked Him to guide you? Watch yourself first and stop being arrogant.

@ "If you are a real Muslim you shouldn't have denied this and considering that this religion is not entitled to equal respect or acceptance." I don't deny terrorist attacks. And I am not responsible for them. Why should the entire religion be to blame, when the very same religion prohibits murder? Why should all Muslims be to blame when these actions are carried out by a minority out of a minority sect, which good deviant views? Of course Islam is entitled to respect and acceptance. It isn't up to you to decide. A decent human being doesn't discriminate others based on stereotypes. "Now, let me know your biggest misconceptions propagated about your new like of Islam." It is not a "new kind" of Islam. And for you to think that you will somehow refute the our perceptions surrounding our Prophet (Salla Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallama) using our early scholars. Try that and I will refute you (in sha' Allâh). Show me the references and write the comments short.

@ There are circumstances in which any human being may be compelled to lie, The Qur’an acknowledges this truth.

It was meant to be!

I may suggest Sheikh Zulfiqr Ahmad Naqshbandi because he is a sheikh and also a Electrical Engineer

The subject has been much sidelined from mainstream Islam in later centuries. It was a mainstream Islam in the spiritual revival in the middle ages. In fact almost all Islamic scholars and ulema were Sufis then. But as the nation states were formed, their role was sidelined by the fuqaha ulemas who serve the state. Modern secular education sideline the Sufis further and thus knowledge on Sufism becomes more rare. It now becomes exotic since a lot of people are seekers for inner self, after they are illusioned with the modern way of life. Majority of Muslims have very little awareness on the subject.

salam aliekom brother . i have a question . as an albanian native muslim . what is your point of view toward nasir aldin al albani . i hope you tell me objectivly and freely with no barriers .

@@testtester6520 Aleikum Selam brother. I don't know much about him to be honest. But just because he is Albanian it doesn't mean I would have a good opinion about him. All I know is that I don't like that kind of Ahl Al-Hadith Salafi attitude towards Islam. It's as if the Qur'an is not enough for these people and it's the hadith that will "complete" it - we just have to find the ones with "sahih" chains. This has made the hadith collections a form of "The Gospel according to Bukhari" or "The Gospel according to Muslim". The Maliki Madhhab is the number one enemy for Ahl Al Hadith, because Imam Malik, in his Muwatta narrated hadiths with Sahih chains but he refused to act upon them because the living Sunnah passed by practice was more important to him than narrations passed by word of mouth. Anyway, Al Albani has given his contribution, so may Allah reward him. I may disagree with many of his teachings and beliefs but I don't strip people off of their merit.

@@DarioHaruni thank you brother . do you have a discord or facebook ?

@@testtester6520 Same name on Facebook.

You clearly do not know how Islam spread in Balkan region. Have you heard Seyit Ali Sultan, Sarı Saltuk and Hasan Dede, Gül Baba?. These are Bektashi masters and Alp-erens that spread islam in Balkans which taught tolerance and love instead of fear and religious bigotry. Many Christians converted seeing their love and peace. Their path is to be cherished rather critized. Hunkar Hadji Bektash Veli (k.s.) is a true friend of the God. Naqshbandis were not widespread in Anatolia and Balkans until the 19th century (the great Janissary masssacre). Unfortunately they have very powerful political organisations and commuting many crimes in the name of Islam.

He himself was a man who was rose up against the Mughal Emperor Akbar when he introduced unislamic laws, thus saving Islam from destruction in the indian subcontinent. He was also the most accomplished Naqshbandi Sheikh. In short the Naqshbandi tariqa have a long history of jihad and defending islamic values in Afghanistan and south asia.
