The Sufi Whirling Dervishes - Istanbul, Turkey 

I kind of feel like they do get dizzy but use that dizzyness to achieve a heightened state of consciousness.

@@shayneoneill1506 I am not Sufi, but my belief is that different cultures use dance to reach altered state, or opening oneself to spirits.

It's why they tilt their heads, to offset the dizziness

@@shayneoneill1506 it is a meditation

@@busaman5261 its called demonic possession

That’s not part of Islam someone invented it

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Watching demon possessed dancers is calming ?

@@SueBHoney-cq8co LOL!

@@OmarAhmed-es6tm WWWW

😁

👌

Such Sufis are not in Kerala I think

Yes

@@unnikuttan6427No, They are of Mevlevi Sufi order. Disciples of Mevlana Rumi. His mausoleum is in Konya, Turkey. Kerala has many other Sufi orders like Qadiriyya and Ba'alavi.

I should really consider recording myself doing this same thing just with my headphones in and moving at much higher rotation speed, I can maintain my spinning for around 40-ish minutes or so depending on how long I want to go and to make it even funnier I do this in a medium sized kitchen and have been for the last 16 or so years. Have you ever heard of frission? If you combine spinning with frission and head tilting while spinning you can make yourself have this incredible sensation that is difficult to describe. I think I might actually record myself doing this, lol.

I don’t think you need to be a dancer to know how disorienting this is! 😂

Ok scarlet

@son beste I'll read it when I want to learn to kill all infidels and abuse kids. Mohammed was a pedo rapist. Facts.

It's all in the footwork. Watch the feet

Just visit all it takes is saving money and a plane it’s cheap

@@jesusRamirez-xv7xp ???

Anatolian Greeks?

how is your name christine though

This isnt a Turkish dance, its Persian.

i try this .this called is Hadra . your soul will fly and you will cry.it is the best thing i tried

Get a grip of yourself

Me too. I think it's just the beauty of the tradition. It's very emotional. I cried once when I went to a powwow and heard the tribe doing their chant and dancing. It was incredibly beautiful.

I think I know why , in a godless world it becomes overwhelming to witness godly devotion and faith, whatever Faith or devotion that is , what gets me is watching native people proudly taking part in ancient practices or traditions no matter where they are from, again because our world leaders are actively trying to remove it from humanity so it's overwhelming to see the defiance of those still doing ot

The light is calling tou Mam dont resist it

Glad am not the only one

Just came after shams and other dervishes start doing sema

Very important book in my life

Mee too 😍 reading it for the second time now

wow same hare

The power of Islam

@@C74251 oh plz bro this is not even in Quran and Hadith.

Nepalese people have a great taste in style. Love from Konya/Turkey 💚

@@nightbot.2817 nobody asked bro

Hazrat Shah Jalal from Turkey is huge in Bangladesh especially Sylhet. He travelled through northern India in the 14th century.

Maybe u were a dervish in a past life.

This is not Islam. This is bidah

Yeah, but definitely not God. This has nothing to do with Islam, it came about after Islam.

@@zoomermcboomer4771 but God is inherent, it is form that changes.

@@markelbasabelopez5772 God is objective, humans are subjective. Once humans try to put their own subjective feelings and logic and apply it to religion this is where corruption comes from. My point is that this form was never practised by those jn the early religion and the prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him said that every newly-invented matter in this religion is a misguidance, and every misguidance is in the hell-fire. So we are not allowed to make things up about Allah even if we believe it is something good.

@@zoomermcboomer4771 I understand your point. And also, in my experience, new forms of touching, experiencing and living in communion with God have come through times. I think a wise sage would approve them as long as they serve the purpose of living with God, and never of course for bypassing true responsibility and connection. There are many ways to climb the mountain, and as long as they reach you to the top, they're useful. This is why many have left Christianity in the last decades and moved towards Asian religions, because many Christian priests wouldn't let their adepts meditate and do other practices that are useful to live with God, but not contemplated by their paradigmatic view. In my experience, the best way to find out if something's right or not in a case is to ask God directly and very humbly. Of course, you need to have cultivated a relationship with Him through time to be able to hear Him properly. Blessings and peace, brother.

@@zoomermcboomer4771 But Sufism is part of Islam

just a question what is it called when the men bob their heads up and down slowly at first then go faster ?????

thank you for sharing!

Till you are in happiness

You should go to turkey The best country ive been so far

Eberyone is welcomed greets from turkey

Derwishes don't wear fez, fez is not an islamic hat in fact

this comment funny because these dervishes imitiate world, other planets and basically all universe by whirling round. this is part of meditation in whirling:)

Very funny comment!!!! you made me laugh today!

Sub han Allah . Make dua for me also

@@asmairajunaidkhan9423 Insyallah. U will be there also.

Spin around (like a whirling dervish) clockwise(yang northern hemisphere/yin southern hemisphere) or counterclockwise (yin northern hemisphere/yang southern hemisphere) (torus spinning). Chant any of these mantras 3 times each while facing east, west, north(in the southern hemisphere) or south(in the northernhemisphere): "ieouams", "a-u-m", and "om". Sleep with your head placed east, west, north(in the southern hemisphere) or south(in the northern hemisphere). Perform the 5 Tibetan rites. Play music at 528 hz.

@@jimlander4175 greetings and salutations Awakened being!🔼 Yes it's a beautiful landscape, anywhere and everywhere!

@@jimlander4175 hi jim. Ever experienced involuntwry chanting?

And, your expertise is in what, exactly, that you find your self worthy to judge their skill?

Салам Алейкум Мират. 🙌

Love you too brother. Thanks ❤️

Yay!

@Hanifa Rasheed have u read any other Elif shafak's books?

🙌

What is this book about

Ye I will read it InshAllah

Magnificent me, me, ME, ME!!!! This video was not about you, but ok...

lol. lets exchange passports if you sooo much wanna be Turkish :D.

This isnt “Magnificent” by any means, It just shows how we have diverted from the quran and sunnah and superseded it with innovation.

I'm half Georgian and half Turkish, I also have some Russian ancestry 😁 beautiful cultures 😊😊

“Let it rip” comes to mind

Spinning is the sign of utmost happiness also ..

Me too❤️

yoo im reading it rn!! XDXD

Same!

It's both

No it's not Islam ​@@Adam-jl8nu

It’s mystical.

The spinning actually represents delusion one goes through in a spiritual awakening.

He stated in the video it's religious.

i just came from watching tns lol

O MY GODDDDD I WAS JUST WATCHING THAT TOO

OMG THATS HOW INGOT HERE RNNNN

lmaooooo that’s exactly why i’m here 😂

That's the reason I looked this up!

@PipebombificationThis is an Islamic word

@@GhGh-sj4wb Yes and they should stop making any references to Islam. Sufism is a religion of it's own

@@aaliyah3037 you should stop making your own claims because Sufism is a part of Islam and you don’t even know anything about Islam so learn first. There’s no such a thing Sufism being a religion but Sufism is a part of Islam and will always be.

@@alhamdulillhforislam458 Bernard The Baron Carra de Vaus (1864-1952) "ye should endeavor to split the W Muslim world, to break its moral unity using ethnic and political divisions in order to increase on the one hand national sentiment. and to decrease on the other that of religious community. In one word, let us segment Islam and make use, moreover, of Muslim heresies (bid'ah) and the Sufi orders to weaken Islam to render it forever incapable of great awakenings" Disbelievers - "We love the sufis, their so "peaceful unlike the salafis"

Çilli bom 😂😂

cancer shut up they're fuck and they looks like girls

@@sarahmussa4425 wat the hell is wrong with you and how dare you even say that. If u don't like the video that's ur prblm "keep it to useful".And BTW u don't have the right to say anything on any religion.

Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤

Wish to be there soon . May Allah grant me soon with this .. Aameen. Remember me in your precious duas .❤

8 yers? Are you a live bro?

I mean, they are already wearing dresses.

No need to get the indignation on. Chill.

Your avatar is insulting. It's a mystic image of an asshole.

sorry dude this is a very old video. Next time I film it it wont be like this.

How?

@Level ARE3RA I'd loose count

Why do they bow so much to eachother? What is the islamic verdic on that?

@@MrMuhammed33 this is not from islam, muslims from the salaf never did this. The scholars say its a Innovation and suffiyah is a path of misguidance

Whenever the Whirling Dervishes or Sufism enshrine their connection to Allah like this, narrow minded dogmatic Muslim people always come out of the woodwork to trash them. The men are Muslim people who clearly explain this is an act to commune 100% with Allah. (In another video) The dancer talks about sharing God’s love from the sky and the earth in the way the hands are held during this form of prayer, to all people. The point of Islam/faith should be about being filled with God’s love and to share that love with other living beings. It disappoints and depresses me over and over again when Muslim people trash these great Muslim practitioners simply because they seek a direct relationship with the divine that isn’t hierarchical or dogmatic. They bow to each other as a form of respect. Its non-Muslim people who seem to actually understand this and give them the respect & reverence they deserve. Spiritually Swirl On, Sirs.

@cemares Actually, you do.

@cemares yes u do theres difference between ethnic Turk and turkish citunzens3 Many people in aegean coast are assimilated converts and balkans migrants their Turkish citizen but not ethnic Turk In Turkey central and eastern provinces have highest ratio of oghuz turk decent

@@mehmetyilmaz2493 Assimilation does not work that way. It's not like you keep groups of vegetables in separate boxes in the same fridge. It's a mix. Turkey Turks have Turkic genes in them among anything else and of all these ethnicities it is our right and actually ability to choose to stick with one. Central or Western Asia are not "ethnicities". Comparing them makes no sense, when you break those genes down, 4-5 ethnicities stand out, one of which is Turkic. The thing is, though, we are who we choose to be among all this. You see many Europeans who, although they are equally a mix of many things, call themselves x by nation, and jew by ethnicity, as if it was the only one that defines them. One needs to ask why this is so and why the hypocrisy in politically determining what you are and pseudo-scientifically telling others who they are. Western approach towards history, linguistics and even anthropology are laughably political AF, and warrants ruthless attacks. And the fact remains: Well we don't and won't give a flying fck about our genetic makeup, we are Turks of Turkey and we don't negotiate it. I'll disown all my 4 ethnicities if some weasels think that's how they are going to divide my nation and conquer my country. Fuck yall.

@@mehmetyilmaz2493 Eastern? You mean kurds are Turks? lol. Most of citizens of East and Southest Anatolia's are kurds that's a fact. Westerner citizens and central Anatolians are Turks. Do you think i am not Turks just because i a Wihte? Do you think Turks are dark skinned arabs only? Omg i already knew ignorancy of Europeans but you? As a Turk your ignorancy level makes my eyes bleeds... xD

@@daredevil3098 Turks arw descended from Turkmens Look at people of Turkmenistan they arenr dark skinned but neither white European. The blonde blue eyed people are indeed assimilated just like the very dark skinned are assimilated (romani, Kurds Armenians etc) Your wrong its exaggerated figures are you sayinh regions like kars are kurdish? Kurds only live in south east. North east and central Anatolia is entirely Turkmen descended. Bulk of Turkmen migration happened during seljuk period. And Seljuka of Rum were centered in central Anatolia regions like konya Where as aegean coast was under Byzantine

Sacred practice my foot. Why is it that the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم was never seen twirling and whirling like these clowns then?

@sushil mondal you are completely buuahit crap. Only music that promotes drugs and sex...

@sushil mondal oh please! Dnt be blind n deaf, music and dance is sacred which is love without it life is colorless. Dnt follow religion or anything blindly, have some logic

Oh please. It is innovation.

MONIKA PRIYADARSHINI stfu. When you were born and raised muslim then you would know it.

Please to don't this is a mistake which the uploader make.. And it's a dhikr not a dance its when you feel god

you don't need to apologize. I don't think anyone here was bothered with your laughs.

you on drugs? drugs are bad m'kay....?

@@talkitrightenglish how can someone who doesn't follow or know about this religion can tell if it is a dance or worship

@@TheGunnCat It is natural for anyone to laugh who has no knowledge on the religion or this kind of worship. If u acknowledge that then yeah we r on the same tract
