Reading Sufi Poetry in Andalusia (al-Shushtari) 

The garbage that’s spread here has nothing to do with Islam, Shushtari and co. are as Muslim as Pharaoh and Abu Jahl were. In fact, the latter were better monotheists than he was. Fear Allah, learn your religion properly, and don’t rely on some kafir to strengthen your faith. If you don’t pray your obligatory prayers, do so, it will change your life.

So much good and beauty?

​Yes, because Islam is from the Divine, so it has so much beauty in it. Alhamdulillah .. our religion is the religion of God & all His Prophets & messengers.💚🤲🏻​@@user-fo9lm4dx6y

@@user-fo9lm4dx6y Yes

Do we know he's not muslim?

Cool! Any particular tariqa?

@@LetsTalkReligion I don't believe any particular Traiq in Jordan is picky. At least the main and big ones. From my experience Shadili and Rifai Tariqas recite from his poems occasionally. There is one that I am attached to on yoube. This is its name يا حياتي وأنت في ذاتي - تبدى حسن ذات الشؤون Fun fact. I never heard any Samma in anything other than standard Arabic in Jordan except for very few poems in North African dialects.

@@iyadal-najjar3512 Is there any recording of this?

The one I mentioned is from Syria not Jordan.

@@LetsTalkReligion Yes. RU-vid this. يا حياتي وأنت في ذاتي - تبدى حسن ذات الشؤون It is a black screen with white Arabic font with the word Allah. I will share the link in a different comment.

Among the heaven and earth he is truly the honoured one

​@@user-pm7fv9dt6j The poetry really got me like that Gojo meme fr

Wouldn't be surprised if he did 😮

Yes

👀

It was wonderful to just be there!

@@LetsTalkReligionlooking forward to more videos like this, just such a beautiful vibe

This is lovely.. which Muslim political philosopher you read? Nizam ul Mulk or someone else?

Beautiful

Thank you.

Have you met any of sufi saints in real life?

@@nettaphore a lot, many

How're they?

AHM is my favorite human being on this planet. And no, that is not hyperbole.

Many Arab words have Spanish roots.

​@@dewetmaartens359 Not really.

​@@dewetmaartens359 Can you give examples?

Spanish, French and Italian come from Latin... Not from Arabic roots.

Yes around 4,000 words.

Either way, we all come from God, belong to him, and unto him is our return. Altough i wouldn't dare to affirm without evidence about God, i do see where they come from, and i confess i think they got a base, but God knows best. Peace

They are*

@@nicodominguez132 do you know of any contemporary Sufi poets?

There is no good contemporary Sufi poet.​@@agucci

I can see that. Just the minimum amount. "Barely" or "simply" are also possible translations, to me. Stay safe 👍🏼

The Arabic just repeats the same phrase, so "just understand me, just understand me"

Yes!

"Clothe yourself in the clothing of perfection and just take a seat on the carpet, Just understand me, just" 😌

"The stars appeared to the blind. That's not what commoners mean by "taste".Nor those not yet mature . The meaning has escapted them just understand me,just."

@@rushilsharma5602 we jamming?

@hashim4j295 I guess so.

Cordoba is special because so much of the old town and mosque survives. Other than that, Seville is nice and the hills outside the city was a place were mystics would go on retreats. There is also a living Sufi tradition today around Granasa, particulalry the Naqshbandi order. Is there anything in particular you want to do or see?

ALQUERIA DE ROSALES where the annual Ghazali retreat happens is full of Spanish convert students and academics, it’s where Shk Abdul Hakim Murad (Timothy Winter ) often teaches Also the Granada mosque near the AlHambra spectacular views from al baicin

@@LetsTalkReligion Thanks for replying. I wanted to use the birthplace of Ibn al-Arabi as a starting point. Once there, I would journey west to Sevilla or down to Gibraltar. As I don't know what there is to see, my idea is to travel by chance from day to day and see where I end up. The intent is to explore places where Sufis lived and still live and gather for Zikr.

@@truesay786 Thanks for the reply. I will most definetly inquire the Alqueria de rosales for a stay and visit. The place looks fantastic.

Me too. You rarely see people pair the two, these days. That said, I'm only a Christian in my adoration and application of Christs teachings regarding brotherhood, but I'm gnostic about the nature of god (caring or apathetic). I do my best to make sense of things religious.

Peace While i do not share the gnostic theology, for the sake of knowledge, may i ask where do you get your theology from? In terms of sources. Because i don't see it as clear and just to know. I do see unity in the end of the tunnel and that is God to me, but i like to know other views, and God knows best what is the truth. Peace

The spirit of God Al Rooh

But isn't shiva symbolizing one aspect of The God? Regardless of the origins, talking as a symbol. Then wouldn't that be excluding God's immensurable complexity? Something to reflect. It may be that shirk is not association by addition, but by subtraction, have you considered this? Peace

Of course, it's very famous!

Yeah it's clearly an addition of the poet. Totally agree, HuWa seems to refer to YHWH, and the idea of being. He is, or He is the one who is, or the likes. Actually, this is following surah ad duha verse 11, i narrate that, funny enough, i got the name HW in two incidents. It will sound as a joke but legit it isn't, i was eating some bread with peanut butter (or another similar thing) and it dropped, and when i substracted it, it left a mark, very similar to the H in the hebrew alphabet, i actually looked this up because it did resemble that. Later, i got a similar incident, this time i got the W or U in arabic... The first time i translated H and it said it meant or could mean God in hebrew, that was surprising. With the second incident, i had no clue, Hu? What does Hu mean at all... anyways. Later, i did realize HW, of course i forgot the U in arabic is also the W, actually is used in the Qur'an, to mean "He is" and as i quoted, HuWa Allahu ahad... Idk this for non believers will sound dumb or coincidental, but i think this was a tiny sign, like others i am glad i got. And i'm quite happy to narrate since i often don't do so since i don't think people will get this or may think i'm crazy. Alhamdulillah. But they are good reminders. Something to be grateful for. Peace brother.

Hello, not trying to be smart, just asking; why do you think Jesus (peace be upon him) is god, instead of a prophet who teached God's words? Just like all the prophets he tried to teach the God's word too but since we dont have the first bible or since we dont even know the language it was first written in, it got changed and god sent another prophet. (Just asking brother/sister its all love!❤ "Guide us to the straight path" [1:6] ❤🙋‍♂️

Sadly, no

Thanks for info😊

Yes

@@LetsTalkReligion Then do you agree that devinty is not be disproven ?

@@ultrasignificantfootnote3378 I don't understand your question

@@LetsTalkReligion If everything is part of devine reality, then all human thoughts are also devine reality , an Atheist will conclude a devine reality is absent , then how can devine reality negate itself ? Is there now a paradox/contradiction ?
