qadiri ceremony in southern kurdistan by swiatoslaw wojtkowiak

qadiri is the oldest sufi order still followed by kurds. the order is named after it’s founder, abdul-qadir gilani (AD 1077-1166). most qadiris are located in southern and eastern kurdistan, while naqshbandis, another sufi order, are primarily in northern and to some extent, western kurdistan.

The name Sufi is an expression derived from the Arabic word Saf, “pure.” The reason that the Sufis are called by this name is that their inner world is purified and enlightened with the light of wisdom, unity, and oneness [Tawheed].

You'll be surprised at this statement — it is correct — because all of those who hoard wealth by violating laws of Allah, they have never been able to enjoy their wealth. Never!

[extract from Tafsir Surah Al-Baqarah, by His Eminence, El-Sheikh Syed Mubarak Ali Shah Gillani]
