[@khaleeqkusi3113]

No way you said excuse my pronunciation and read so beautifully 😂

[@Merle1987]

​@@wartab6318he seems like a crypto Muslim, if there is such a thing.

[@Amaaaaan1]

[@shaffehaffejee3657]

Sushmita: listening to this is like a prayer in a different forrm 🙏 💞

[@lovediscontents]

Such a beautiful response, thank you.

[@nsaf674]

I like Sufi figures such as Nizami Ganvi with his literature Laila Majnun and Abdurahman Jami with his literature Yusuf Zulaikha

[@shaffehaffejee3657]

Sushmita: Philip an absolutely eye-opening video esp. the Language of Love being UNCONDITIONAL etc. Your content is amazing Thank You for opening my ❤ more to Sufism 🙏 🤲

[@Venezuela911]

I tend to think about Sufism (when asked) as a discipline which seeks to remove the veils that impede us from allowing the awareness of the experience of God which is innate to us rather than something to be acquired.

[@usmanbasyah4326]

Salam, may ALLAH bless your struggling to know and to understand this path of love. Me pray, one day there will be someone who will lead you into their reality. Just in a blink of eye, all what you read understandable by your outside and inside being. May ALLAH accept it. Ameen

[@englishacquiring7302]

I didn’t want it to be ended. Thank you both. … While listening to this excellent conversation, I remembered a quote like this, “Allah is not the same as His beautiful names and attributes, nor is He other than them.”

[@eastermind7141]

“Mazhab al 3oshok” (مذهب=Altar; Adoration=العشق) means “Altar of adoration” more so than “School of love”

[@danielu1763]

I enjoy how Filip internally references the Arabic sources in Arabic, and has to translate to the English.

[@hakim_alrooh]

Filip is wonderful ❤

Much appreciated.

[@tessathulien61]

Intoxicated infers duality. Ecstasy seems more non-dual. Such an interesting conversation. Absolutely loved this talk, Filip. You are such a blessing ❤️. ❤❤❤🙏✨🕊️Lots of love from Colorado.

[@qalandero]

Thank you for this wonderful discourse 🙏🌹❤

[@alymerchant7265]

Fabulous conversation

[@qalandero]

The " intoxication" you mention reminds me of a Hafiz line " You think this is some ordinary Tavern on the floor of which I am lying, sprawled out, drunk ?! "

[@muhammadwaris9736]

I have listened Filip for the first time. He is totally blessed by Allah. I will suggest to say Allah instead of God as Allah likes his this name. Indepth and enlightened conversation of Filip and interviewer is remarkable for the Muslims all over the world. Filip wrapped up the steps 1-Shariat 2-Tareeqat 3-Haqeeqat 4-Maarfat 5-Wahdat

[@marisabascope6842]

It was beautiful! Thanks so much!

[@Sokrates1985]

22:27 bn Arabi:"So it begann by the divine order be (kun), and finished by becoming." Its very similar to the word which was in the beginning (John1:1)

[@annihilated99]

i would love to join you on this podcast bro!

[@usmanbasyah4326]

Those who feel this love will understand, why was a king able to replace his kingdom to a coat.

[@qalandero]

Filip Almansour Holmes . Hmmm . Filip my friend, the " Almansour " takes a lot of courage ❤

[@Nothing25165]

Why??

[@Nothing25165]

Is he muslim??

[@Nothing25165]

I'm just curious 😅

[@turalbakhshaliyev]

Impressive! Particularly the recitation of Ibn Arabi's poem.

[@qalandero]

If I may, Chittick's " Shariah of Love " is like a poet Taufiq Rafat wrote " Love is a country with its own climate ". As the boat ( shariah ) Filip mentioned, can get you across the Ocean, but for the Pearl you need to dive in. And oceans with pearls also have sharks ! So most just keep sailing. Few are those who dive in. Fewer still, aware of a Pearl. Also evident that boats are different, and each sailing on one, working on the oars will get across. But no matter which boat one jumps out from , they all find the same Pearl. It is Love which gives the courage to jump. They say the school of love has different rules, those who learn the lesson, don't get a vacation " :) My Murshid used to say "Son , this is Ishq , here one needs to carry the well to the thirsty " And also .... " Ishq is not a thoroughfare" 🌹

[@aphilosophersphantom7208]

Does anyone know where exactly the quote about lover and beloved in around the twentieth minute from the Futuhat is?

[@wolfenhauz]

Love without the law is hardly love at all

[@beingcurious8841]

ناصحا تجھ کو خبر کیا کہ محبت کیا ہے روز آ جاتا ہے سمجھاتا ہے یوں ہے یوں ہے۔

[@tangentreverent4821]

Perhaps formation is a better translation of surah?

[@qalandero]

Love is strange, unique. Would a Christian love Jesus if he wasn't a Messiah?

Adnan where are you from? Bosnia or Albanian?

I know what you mean about English translations of Rumi (the only kind I can read)... there's clearly an overlay of the translator. Back when I was reading these, I could tell who was the translator, pretty quickly, and if it was an old translation or more recent. You didn't need to be a scholar in order to observe this. The Coleman Barks treatment made it seem like maybe the intimacy stuff wasn't entirely metaphoric... and knowing Earthlings, it's possible that was sometimes the case. I got more feeling from those types of translations, and I got more intellectual knowledge from the drier translations that were heavily footnoted, but I probably learned the most about human nature from the differences and commentaries. There was no chance I'd convert to Islam or study it academically... someone gave me a Coleman Barks translation (Open Secret, I think?) and I just had to figure out what liberties he was taking, and how much was really like that, which became a multicultural journey of learning. Thanks for the video discussion.

[@GizzyDillespee]

26:06 Tibetan Buddhists use the same metaphor. I'd bet that one goes way back into prehistory, and it still hits hard today!

[@qalandero]

Like you said there are numerous translations our there. One thing I have realized, the translations done by scholars, acamedicians, like Nicholson for instance, may perhaps be more researched, yet they seem dry. For me at least, they do not really ignite a flame. Coleman Barks, on the other hand, may not be as precise yet his interpretation does touch a chord. Wonder if you know how Barks came to translate Rumi. He was on a camping trip and had a dream. A man appeared to him and said " Rumi's poems need to be released from their cages ". Months later, visiting a friend in Philadelphia, Barks was invited to come visit a Sufi Master. When Barks and his friend, went, the man who walked in to meet them was the same man in Barks' dream, the Sufi Master Bawa Muhiyiddin !!! A derwesh from Pakistan, Wasif Ali Wasif, once said, If there is anything Divine on Earth, it is Love. I believe those in Love, the heart people cam relate more to it than the scholar who thinks from the mind. Mind simply cannot fathom the depth of love . Most of the translators of Sufi works and poetry I have read were those who themselves were associated with a Master. All Hearts speak one language :)🌹

[@atiqrahman7289]

Tassawuff -- in Arabic. Tasawaff 😮 7:46 practiced sincerely is great for promoting humanity and divinity. Love Divinity and Love Humanity. LOVE is the fundamental to Sufism. Pure LOVE. One of the translation for Sufism is PURITY ------PURE LOVE is also appropriate translation for SUFISM. SUFISM is PURITY of LOVE for Divinity and Humanity. In a way it should not be restricted to Mohammadan faith--- JESUS and all other prophets have the same messagr --- LOVE GOD and Love human beings HALLE LU YAH

[@JeffEyges]

Given the state of existence and the dreadfulness of the human condition, God is not a being with whom I want to experience union. I don't even understand the concept of "loving" him; if he exists, he is a psychopath who has plunged all of us into an ocean of suffering. Whether or not we are all manifestations of that higher reality is irrelevant to me; it does nothing to change my mind.

[@tkendirli]

Those sufferings is your way to embrace god in many ways. Everything is temporary except god. But being in a love & hate relationship is pretty much common. Try to love yourself first, whatever happens to you before is past. My journey began with Yunus Emre's words "ilim ilm bilmektir. Ilim kendin bilmektir. Sen kendini bilmezsen bu nice okumaktır?" Means Something like that "Science is knowing science. Knowledge is knowing yourself. If you don't know yourself, is this a good read?" Because by knowing yourself and your nefs, you will know others from your reflection both people and god.

[@JeffEyges]

@@tkendirli This is not even remotely helpful.

[@tkendirli]

@@JeffEyges :) unfortunately it seems to be. May God gives love, grace and light to your heart and mind. Wish you a good and peaceful life.
