What is Sufism (An interesting Muslim Sect,
combining teachings from both Islam and Christianity)
I decided to blog about Sufism , cause I found it
really interesting. I first heard about Sufism, as a religious
stream as a reference following some readings about Rumi Mevlana after
I've been shown a video about his attained great wisdom by an
ex-student
Turkish colleague of mine (Burdji).
Mevlana (or Mowlana) as he is also known is famous for a couple of
major things
among Muslims.
1. He used to be a great Persian Poet of his time
2. A great Persian Theologian
3. He was a Major figure in Sufism
5. He was a notable musician of his time
4. His Life inspired the creation of Sufi Dances (Whirling
Dervishes).
Here is a nice video with quotes from various Sufi teachers
including
Rumi Mevlana himself:
It's interesting that even though from Christian perspective Rumi
Mevlana
and Sufism in general is a Heretical teaching it's teachings, are
closer
and more closer to Christianity than Islam is.
Happy Watching.
