I was absolutely love these SUFI related videos, because it's helping me to uncover their way of thinking. my maternal great grandfather was a great sufi priest in bangladesh and the people of his village thought he had magical powers. as for my father side, when his father passed away, a sufi family took care of him and his big family, so he was surrounded by sufis his whole life. so i think this is why i'm naturally inclined to topics of spirituality and religion. what i'm learning on this channel is the universality of mystical thinking. it seems that these men were very progressive with their ideas. it transcends time that even to this day, their thoughts are relatable. i just don't know if i'll ever be able to reach the spiritual fortitude and displicine to ever become a practicing sufi myself, but what i'm learning from these videos are helping me apply some of their ideas into my life in a gradual manner. This is the type of content i've been looking for because it's not coming from a biased view. it's strictly academic so that i can formulate my own opinions in an objective way. so i thank you - please keep them coming.

I know, I adore that quote too! It's such a potent reminder of the idea that pure Reality cannot be expressed or understood through words or concepts.

[@nadiyaibrahim6826]

Let's Talk Religion Only through a deep spiritual experience can the Pure Reality (Allah for me) and the realities of higher realms of existence be unlocked. And such experiences can hardly be put into words. Look at Prophet Mohamad’s experience of Israa and Meraj (الإسراء والمعراج) in the Quraan and how it was translated in a very symbolic language. The deeper realities of this experience as well as of other spiritual experiences are to be explored by those who choose the path of Mystics and Gnostics. Many Mystics remained silent throughout their entire lives, simply because what they witnessed is far greater and bigger than any words. Linguistics failed Mystics, because we are so limited before the limitless and the infinite, before Allah (or the Pure Reality whatever you choose to call it).

Hi, Thanks for another great video. This is very useful for showing how diverse Islam is, and how the so-called "orthodoxy" is an illusion. Anyway, I think "Hermeticism" and the figure of Hermes Trismegistus are not fully explained in this video. I have heard about how Hermes and Hermeticism are influential during the medieval Islamic thought, as well as the European/Christian philosophical tradition. Hopes you can explain it more in the future.

[@LetsTalkReligion]

Yes, I do only mention Hermeticism as if I assume the audience knows what that means, which might have been a bit naive of me. But I'll surely be talking about it more in future videos :)

[@parchment543]

Let's Talk Religion yes please do make a video discussing it because I'm not sure whether or not the word means the same a hermet who is like a wandering monk, but I have the seen the graham handcock reading of the book of the dead which speaks of this Thoth like Hermes being all psychodellic and stuff. Yeahhh idk much else about it tho so if you could explain more about it that would be nice my gnostic friend ;)

[@torston]

@@LetsTalkReligion Yes, please. I have been waiting for someone to touch upon this subject. I don't think Hermeticism is often talked about especially its influence on religions. And especially less so with regards to Islam. Often, I tend to read about Greek / neoplatonic influence on Islamic philosophy but I thing Hermeticism has some interesting parallels with Islam, at least from what little I read about the former. More often I think, Hermeticism is often identified with occult subjects than religion. But then again, wouldn't mysticism be considered as a kind of occult knowledge? Anyway, really eager for you to get to this . Really have been enjoying your work.

[@LetsTalkReligion]

@@julinaonYT He (although it's quite likely he wasn't a real person) is very strongly associated with Alchemy in particular, not as much with "magic" or "sihr" which is commonly condemned in Islam. Alchemy and the Hermetic tradition in general has been very widespread and influential in the Islamic world. Hermes has even been identified as the prophet Idris which is mentioned in the Qu'ran, which shows you the reverence that many Muslim scholars have had towards him.

Basically, he believed that ALL multiplicity must essentially be "passed over" or transcended to know God or Reality. This includes transcending and moving beyond the multiplicity of the Divine Names and only resting in the Oneness of the name "al-Haqq" (The Real). If you check the Sources in the description to the video, I would recommend the article from the "Sufi Journal", it talks about some of these ideas in particular and compares it to the school of Ibn Arabi.

It has aspects that can remind us of pantheism, but it is also more complicated than that. In very simple terms - they both agree that God is the only Reality, the only "thing" that really exists. They disagree in the sense that Ibn Arabi still thinks the multiplicity of the world is RELATIVELY real and separated from God. Ibn Sab'in, however, sees the world and multiplicity as pure illusion and that God's Essence is immediately "knowable" everywhere. It's hard to explain such complex metaphysics in easily understandable terms, but that's my best attempt :)
