#Sufis
Jibbahs are made & worn by Mahdist Sufis (known as al-Ansaar) in Northern Sudan. They are made from dammur, a thick, coarse cotton. The colour of the patches indicate rank, while the simple design & multiple repairs demonstrate religious devotion & dedication to an austere lifestyle.

Obsessed with "Cruel"'s seductive lyrics: "Dance with the Sufis/Celebrate your top ten in the charts of pain/Lover, brother, bougenvillia/My vine twists around your need"... I'll be honest, I've been ripping this off in my own work for decades

This is the same shit as “you can say Merry Christmas again.” As if these fuckers ever needed permission to ignore Hanukah or be rude to non-Christians. Otoh I’ve never known anybody to be offended by Merry Christmas either. Jews. Sufis. Zoroastrians. We’re all cool with it

das versteht sich doch von selbst. für die rechtspopulisten ist jedoch der islam d.a.s feindbild schlechthin. vollkommen unreflektiert u verantw.los vlt so ein kreuzzugsrelikt. apropos kreuzzug: es heißt, der gr heilige franz v assisi hätte rumi, den großen dichter u gelehrten der sufis getroffen...

We Sufis are resisting this regime, using Pirzada Noorunisa Khan as our inspiration. She was in the French Resistance during WWII, captured, imprisoned, and tortured, yet she never gave away her comrades and stayed true to her principals.

As far as I'm concerned Conan is a modern-day sage, an arhat acting like an asshat to wake people up to their own foolishness by constantly clowning and making fun of himself. It's a great show of humility worthy of sufis and saddhus throughout the ages.
Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Everyone is so afraid of death, but the real Sufis just laugh:
Nothing tyrannizes their hearts.
What strikes the oyster shell does not damage the pearl.

And no, Sikhs, Hindus, and Sufis also wear turbans.

So, not only are you a bigot, you’re an ignorant bigot.

You don’t even know who wears turbans. Nice job. You want to hate so bad, that you don’t even care about facts.

Sufis meditate on saints who’ve passed to spiritually connect with their essence (considered eternal).

Urs [death anniversary of a saint] is also important, considered a union with the Beloved. Sufis wish one another “Urs Mubarak [Happy Urs]” & celebrations are held at the saint’s shrine. /4

5/ Sufis take the course of love and devotion to accomplish their highest aim, because it is love which has brought man from the world of unity to the world of variety, and the same force can take him back again to the world of unity from that of variety.

Sufis as Logos-respecters? More likely than you think

In a just world there would be a band of problematic Sufis, disaffected Janissaries, and Bosnian separatists who could unite to overthrow the disgraced Sultan O'Brien
Lmao Sean O'Brien get flipped over your boxers Caucus

Khidr is said to be the teacher of Sufis who have yet to find a teacher or perhaps may not ever have a teacher. He’s known from the Quranic story where he accompanied Prophet Musa/Moses (AS) & is described as an angel or wali who teaches secret knowledge & aids those in distress.
