Understanding Tasawwuf/Sufism with Balance | Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari

Tasawwuf or Sufism is a much misunderstood topic within many Muslims (and even non-Muslims) today. Some call it outright Bid’a or shirk, whilst others think it’s to do with spiritual healing, soothsaying, and other mysterious mystical practices. Some non-Muslims think its similar to Yoga exercising and healing music.

So what really is Sufism according to traditional Islamic teachings? What are the various tariqs (spiritual paths) such as the Naqshbandi, Chishti orders? What is bay’a? Are the various types of group dhikr and chanting permitted?

The above and many other questions are answered by Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari (student of Shaykh Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani) in this detailed lecture, which was delivered in Coventry (UK) on 14th March, 2020.
