I am a Anderson Feri Tradition initiate ( American Traditional Witchcraft with esctatic aspects). My boyfriend is a Rahaniyat Sufi and I will be studying soon myself. Not converting, simply adding to my practice something that resonates. Wonderful video!

@@melissapinol7279 If I may, look up a podcast called “The Barzakh”. There is only one episode but I think the podcasters content might be of interest to you.

Sufism holds a special place for me, that you Dr. Puca 🪄✨💖

Dr Angela is doing a video on Sufism!? I haven't even watched the video yet, but I'm so excited! (member of a Senegalese Sufi order)

🕺🏼💃🕺🏼💃Rumi mentioned! Let’s goooo! Sufism has inspired so much in the western world. My first exposures to it were through Kim Stanley Robinson’s sci-fi writings (the Mars trilogy), and the “Christian” band mewithoutYou. I’ve always found it’s mystical aspects interesting and intriguing.

I thought of those books too. The scene where Frank is dancing with the dervishes.

I'm sure you're already aware of Filip Holm's discussions of Sufism and Islam over on Let's Talk Religion, but in case you weren't I'll mention it now. 🕺💃

Blessings to you Angela. As a member of Ruhaniat, I found this very enjoyable ❤️

Sulfism is not widely known about in America. How ever I have met Sufi practitioners and found them to be very interesting people. Thank you for your insight on this religious order.🥰

I love Idries Shah's tales of the Mulla Nasr-ed-din... (or Nasurdin). Fun, yet deep tales.

🕺 Thank you, Dr. Angela! Specially thank you for the perennialism alert! By watching the historic and academic fatcs through your yt channel, I've become more aware of the specifics of every practice, doctrine and beliefs. Sufi music, dance and literature are beautiful! See you next time! 👋 😃

Thank you for saying 'the rest of europe' instead of 'europe'

💃 Religious syncretism and evolution is all fine and good, but historically divorcing Sufism and Islam could only be motivated by asinine politics and bigotry. Where do these people think zhikr comes from? Just because Islamic practice and sufism have streams of influence from exogenous sources doesn't mean sufism wasn't or isn't primarily Islamic. That would be like saying Christianity is only neoplatonism or only Judaism.

It's "primarily islamic" where you risk having your head cut off or being hung. You can't deny the impact threatening people, their families, communities with violence & torture has. Same with Christianity & all other religions. Islam makes wonderful camouflage so that you can practice your actual spiritual beliefs.

I agree. Sufism without Islam isn't really sufism.

@collins1256

Yes, you can't have sufism without Islam. However, since salafism hit the mainstream and modern Islamic orthodoxy, it does give sufism the feel of a new kind of Islam when it really isn't.

That was beautiful, thank you. You can also try to expand on this topic of Global Sufism by interviewing someone like Mark Sedgwick or Prof. Marcia K. Hermansen, who both worked on Global Sufism. 🥰

🕺🏻 From Sep. 2018 to Oct. '19 I was part of a Sufi group in Cape Town called 'The Sufi Movement' founded by Hazrat Inayat Khan; they offered books, only those written by Inayat Khan himself, and they offered in-person group-study sessions -- typically lead by elders of the group, who were only two degrees removed from Inayat Khan in terms of succession -- of the writings of The Master on spiritual subjects etc; this organisation had branches/nodes/cells/affinity groups across several locations in South Africa and abroad; one detail mentioned in passing by Murshid (a title of Khan's) was that the word 'Sufi' derives from the Greek word 'Sophia', this is why I made this post: Sufism derives from Gnosticism -- see Dr. Puca's opening remarks on how Sufism emphasises direct, experiential knowledge.☺

💃 I'm grateful to have come across your work! You are very joyful to learn from!❤

Thank you for making a well-detailed and highly informative video on Sufism despite its short length. My English is average so I had a some difficulties in understanding several words but the way you use them in context, their meanings become easy to guess. God bless you!

Will you be selling "Perennialism Alert!" stickers in the future? I'd love to have some...particular organizations might do well to have such warnings posted on them. ;) I am glad you mentioned Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan as well--while I can't agree with some of the actual lyrics used in his songs, his musicianship is undeniable. 💃💃💃

I was expecting maybe more on brotherhoods fenomenon? For example about René Guénon and such whit the esoteric / brotherhood / initiation kind of approach essentially following Ibn al rabi in the confreerie Shadhiliyyah or so. I say this cause till today it had spread mpact allover while interested in incorporating (while curating?) various local religious myths . However, these are lines that I guess pretend to still be mystical and not deviated, while is debatable Thank U. Love. Keep it up.

Thank you for this view into the middle east. But it makes me wonder how they fair against the factions of Islam that suppress music in almost All forms..🤔 And especially seems to be against any form of westernization of religion and thought. Plus I wonder about their connection and integration of the khoron into the religion?..🕺

As a rule, Sufis have required complete belief in Al Quran.

Unpopular comment: Islam would be better off across the world for all muslims and non muslims if they seeked personal union, love or iternal knowledge with allah then through their local Imams and Dogma of the Quran.
