​​@@LetsTalkReligionhey let's talk, I understand that ur chanel aims to inform. But I just wanted to point out that though there are a variety of sects in islam, it doesn't mean that every interpretation is valid. As u may know, the prophet muhammad was sent with the qur'an. And he dwelled amongst the people as a prophet for 23 years. During that span, he would explain the religion. I'm sure you would agree that his interpretation is the correct one. So since we have his explanations preserved in the form of the ahadith, you may ask, if it is so clear, then why is there still sectarianism and how could I claim that there is a correct sect. And the answer to that is that if you adhere strictly to the text, you will be able to sift through the sects and realize the ones that are conflicting with the texts. And you will realize that these sects indeed do conflict with these texts. It is not true that all the sects are valid. It must make sense to you that islam needs to be based on the preserved texts. The scholars of these preserved texts have alrdy refuted these sects.

In your life whatever you come across if it agrees with the quran accept it if it disagrees with the quran question it. And finally if your parents are still alive love them, respect them be the best for them even though they may be hostile to your new religion. Good luck to you, may Allah protect you all times

as a non-muslim "mystic" person, all these points hit home. some people have known The Truth for thousands of years - but not everybody will understand it. hearing The Truth may even make them murderous. and as the Quran warns, not everybody will completely understand the wisdom within, even as a Muslim. it's insanely comforting to know there have always been people who could See and Hear surrounded by Deaf and Blind.

I have had many visions and dreams about places I have never seen nor ever visited. I had a blue shadow and rainbow covered my left eye. I had my right eye with flashes of light with squares of four. The fact my whole life I had been put down for the knowledge of world religions and other things I did not understand through word of mouth. Maybe one day my soul can rest in peace and be with Abba, my Father in Heaven, and Jesus Christ. I do not believe most people which is why they always want to get rid of me. I have seen the Angel Michael, and I see the spirits of other religions. My first religion foremost was Roman Catholicism, and other people try and corrupt it for fear that they will be pushed out and disappear-struck by God. I remember every word that a man says and use it for my own to turn into something better than good. I am a female of which men do not believe women should teach, but they can. In fact, it was the woman who knew of a man's sins before the man did.

I am astonished at how detailed the explanation of Sufism given in this video and the accuracy of the information, along with correct pronounciation of the arabic words used in Sufism. How long it had taken to research all this I do not know but it must have take a long time. What is also remarkable is that the author is able to narrate flowlessly which tells me that he had not only researched it but actually taken an interest in it and made the effort to learn an understand this complex subject.

I was an atheist from a Muslim background. Eight years ago, I found myself in a profound state of depression, a kind rooted in nihilism, a loss of meaning, and a lack of interest in anything. Through deep self-exploration, delving into what Carl Jung calls the shadow, I unexpectedly had an intense spiritual experience. I wasn't seeking God or any religious answer; it just happened. This experience turned my intellectual world upside down. During and after this experience, Quranic verses I had memorized as a child came to mind, and I began to understand them. I realized that religious scholars don't truly grasp their meaning; they merely repeat what their predecessors said. Religious institutions are a mess, and listening to these pretentious scholars led me to atheism. There are two kinds of religion: the religion of mainstream scholars, which is pure insanity, and the true religion, an experience that cannot be put into words. Some Sufi Muslims, like Al-Hallaj, Ibn Arabi, and Rumi, as well as certain Christian theologians like Meister Eckhart, understood this well. It's not surprising that these figures are often disliked by mainstream scholars and priests. I discovered that the divinity of Christ is one of the most misunderstood subjects by both Christians and Muslims. One of the most shocking realizations for me is that every word in religious texts should be interpreted metaphorically, and mainstream religious scholars are destroying the religion by insisting on interpreting the text literally. In the past, I laughed at the Sufis, thinking they played with mysterious words to hide their atheism. Now, amusingly, I understand them because I've become one of them.

Probably you mean "radicalism".

It’s a great to have a revision of an earlier video you made about this topic. I am sure that your understanding of this topic is also widening. you recently made a very comprehensive video about Andalusian Sufism. But we are lacking about the evolution of entire sufism traditions across all muslim world throughout history. many people hate to hear it but the Muslim world was at its Zenth when Sufism was the main stream faith. Saladin was Sufist. Mohamed II who conquered Constantinople was Sufist. Some of the greatest liberators were sufists. To label them by the traditionalist as heretical is overlooking their contributions and impact on the history of Islam.

Islam is both spiritual, personal, practical, objective spanning a wide range (political). There is Sufism in an IDEAL islamic state and also an unparalleled army with the best equipment and also an opportunity to anyone in the state to become super rich. But all are ways or paths that are meant to spread the truth and worship God. The weapons are used to stop injustice, the money is used in the way of God for needy people, building of an empire and spiritual asceticism is used by anyone who wants it that way. Islam is a universal religion. There is war when required, there is peace when required all should be done for the sake of God

I love your videos. I grew up in a Christian context, and consider myself to be a Christian, but I had started to realise in my teens that my understanding of Christian theology was not the norm. Reading C. S. Lewis at the age of 8 helped, but your videos have taken my comfort with this to a whole new level. There are fundamental truths across almost all religious traditions, and it is often in the mystical traditions these are found most clearly. With your help, I've seen this in Islam, and Judaism, and also in Taoism, Buddhism and the Hindu Traditions. Most surprisingly, you've pointed out these themes even in Catholic mysticism, which my Pentecostal upbringing and experience at a Catholic school had suggested was almost impossible.

They have both fascinated me for many years. But whatever topics you cover will be great, I have no doubt.

Dear Filip, Couple of other points you may want to consider adding to this summary (as addendum or part 2) is that during the Evolution of Sufism, it aquired a certaiun focus during the varios periods, though not mutually exclusive: early on it was zuhd, service, and chivalry (Hasan al-Basri, Muhasibi ), then mystical trend (Rabia, Karkhi, Hafi, Junayd), then ectstatic sufism (Misri, Bistami, Hallaj), then consolidation and simplification for widespread mainstream acceptance (Qushayri, Ghazali, Jilani), then the Philosophical Sufism with a focus on ontology (Ibn Arabi), then poetic expression of the ecstatic experiences (Attar, Rumi, Hafiz), and along the way institutionalization of sufism into various Sufi orders. These may not be formal, linear, mutually exclusive classification, I am just recollecting from my memory. Any thoughts on this aspect? Also, another idea that your audience may find useful: how about reading key passages from the works of leadng figures mentiond above, around 20 to 30 minutes length? This will give a cognitive understanding of the Sufi works to your audience. Thoughts? In Sha Allah, I will support your channel as soon as I can. I am currently supporting couple of other channels.

Not going to lie, some of the descriptions of listening to music and feeling it in your soul, experiencing a form of ecstasy, really hits home. I listen to predominantly instrumental music. I’ll pace around and sometimes dance while feeling this overwhelming sense of unconditional love and joy. Never knew anyone else experienced that besides myself. Just thought I was weird. Rumi always resonated with me and the poetry I write. Unconditional love and joy is a spiritual experience I feel a lot, mainly when listening to music or being in nature. I’m not even religious though. I believe in god, but I believe god is here, all around us, in us. God is the eternal present, god is within the breath we take and the breath we also must let go of. God is not something that can be understood with logic or science, only experienced in the moment. I also tend to resonate with Gnosticism to a degree.

@zak992
@zak992 9 месяцев назад
There is quite a lot of misunderstanding around sufism, the video that Filip has done is a good starting point. It really depends on what you are after. In my humble opinion traditional sufism as expounded by Filip has to be grounded in orthodox islamic beliefs and practices, for me this is the best way to connect to God and purify ones ego/self, this is a hard and disciplined path to follow requiring determination but most of all God`s /Allah`s guidance and mercy, if it so pleases Him you will find Him and once He draws you closer to Him your whole life changes there is amazement and great insight in your life. However if you just want a more philosophical introduction to mysticism there are many ways both eastern as well as western mystical philosophies and ways to choose from. Take your time and research, if you want the more islamic/ sufi way 3 good resources would be the Quran, Al Ghazalis works on purifying ones ego/self and Rumi`s works, goodluck to you

Many thanks to Filip for this updated version, it is refreshing to hear the clarifications and explanations. May I suggest a full episode on the life of Mevlana, to include his meeting with Shems, the reactions of their followers (and murder of Shems), whether Mevlana is correctly attributed with 'inventing' whirling during his grieving for Shems - as Coleman Barks said it was 36 hours of moving around one pillar... Barks also said Mevlana and Shems were gay lovers!!!... Debunking is needed of the Westernized ideas that have projected onto Mevlana & Shems because they can't imagine that 'such love could be expressed to the divine? They must have been in physical love !!!' So, such a topic needs your incisive explanation that Sufi poetry is borne out of the ecstatic love for the divine. It has to be experinced and not theorized about.

I find myself compelled to share with you an experience that I had six months ago, an experience that introduced me to the concept of "wajd," a mystical state I now realize is a revered ritual within Sufism. Like all of you drawn to this video, I am navigating my own inner odyssey. Having been born in Konya and lived there for a time, I grew up steeped in the spiritual heritage of Sufism and the teachings of Rumi. Throughout the various epochs of my life, I have sought to comprehend Rumi and Sufism more profoundly. I have strived to reconcile the dissonances I found within the Islam that was taught to me, those parts that eluded my rational mind and resonated discordantly within my soul. Despite delving into the Masnavi, immersing myself in the wisdom of Shams Tabrizi, Rumi, and Ibn Arabi, and dedicating extensive efforts to their teachings, shedding the shackles of cultural and religious dogma proved to be a formidable endeavor. The notions of self-discovery, finding divine love, and uniting with the Creator have always held a bewitching allure for me, yet their essence perpetually eluded my grasp. Even now, I do not claim to fully comprehend them. However, in the depths of spiritual turmoil, I stumbled upon fragments of the path that leads to enlightenment. I must preface this by stating that I do not advocate or encourage anyone to follow my footsteps, but the most sublime moments of my life, where abstract concepts crystallized into palpable reality, occurred under the influence of psilocybin mushrooms. Typically, those who consume these for spiritual purposes prepare meticulously for the ritual, guiding themselves through the transcendent experience. My encounter was entirely serendipitous, finding myself immersed in the melodies of the ney ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1_vBEr3PXDY.html ) (reed flute). It was then that I discovered the link to this transcendent auditory experience, closed my eyes, and a portal to an unimaginable realm was unveiled. I witnessed my ego and corporeal form dissolve into the symphony. In that ethereal moment, I became the very notes of the playing instruments. I was the breath of the ney player (neyzen). The indescribable sensation that enveloped me, one that defies the confines of language, revealed to me that the love Rumi spoke of, which I had heard about since childhood but never truly understood, was indeed this profound feeling. The state aspired to in Sufism is such that one cannot fathom its destination without experiencing it firsthand. Since that fateful day, reading about Rumi or Sufism has often brought tears to my eyes, sometimes causing me to weep uncontrollably. Now, everything holds a deeper meaning, and my singular purpose is to attain that consciousness of Sufism. As an aside, I am reminded of a book that I wish to share with you. While it does not directly align with Sufism, it is penned by a scholar from the realm of positive science, who elucidates the human condition down to our cellular level and observes that we are more than mere matter. This book, too, has opened my eyes in myriad ways. The author is Bruce Lipton, and the book is titled "The Biology of Belief." Witnessing our spiritual essence corroborated by scientific inquiry was profoundly enlightening for me.

Thank you for this Filip as always. I hope you'll be able to talk more about some of the modern history of Sufism. That really interests me. Not long ago I picked up a book in a library (can't recall the title now) and read a chapter about the change in policy to religious tolerance in the USSR under Brezhnev in the mid-1960s. Most Muslims in the USSR were of course the Turkic peoples, and although Sufism wasn't the majority (I don't think), because of some personal connections, Sufi leaders still got appointed as the bureaucrats overseeing state-sanctioned Islam, which created a kind of revival of Sufism in Central Asia, in the sense that the state sponsored Sufi facilities throughout the country. And then the chapter talked about the history of some of those facilities and the practice of Islam & Sufism in the USSR & later Central Asian countries from that period up to today. It was a really fascinating story and something we almost never hear about in the West. I'd be interested in hearing more stories like that, how Sufism and other religious movements play out in real history and politics. Thanks for again your contributions as always.

Thank you so much for your thorough research and objective analysis! As a Muslim who follows the Sufi path, I know that Sufism is misunderstood or not understood at all. Really appreciate all your work and loved this video. ❤

This is, as always, amazing content. You should consider doing a remake on the Mutazila and the Ibadis too.

Thanks , for the accurate description of sufism. Once I follow sufism but these days it is very hard. Now I just keep following tasawuff( knowledge) but to follow the strict order of sufism is challenging. Syukur with the knowledge I understand more about religion and the world , not boasting. I understand more about human attitude, without boasting. And my solat is more khusyuk , not boasting.. I know where to focus my thoughts when I perform solat and amal. I encourage anyone to learn the art and knowledge of sufism.

If you were caught in life it might be the life that is meant for you . The path is not always by darwasha ,poverty and disconnection to the material world . If you were on the Sufi path once you should know is being actively participating in daily life around you is a “Hal “ like other a7wal .

Hey Filip. I just wanted to say that I always enjoy and appreciate your videos. I learned a lot from them about religions other than my own, and I think you really did aspects of my religion (Buddhism) justice whenever you covered them! Keep up the great work! I basically learned everything I know about Islam from your videos and your channel is the main reason I became fascinated with Sufism and started reading both Attar's Conference of the Birds and a bunch of Rumi's poems. Keep up the great work! I was wondering if you had any plans to cover Pure Land Buddhism specifically in the future? It's got a fascinating history and theology that make it very unique and distinct from other schools of Buddhism. Although I must admit, I'm a bit biased, since I myself am a Jodo Shinshu Buddhist, which is the biggest Pure Land school in Japan. Would still appreciate it, though! Thanks. 🤣
