[@RoubaSamman]

اسلوب د. اورفلي بسيط و جذاب، يعطي كمية غزيرة من المعلومات بسلاسة و منطق واضح و دون تحيز. انا احسد طلابه عليه. حلقة مناسبة جدا لشهر رمضان الذي من المفترض ان يكون شهر التعبد و الروحانيات و التقرب الله

[@sashadaaboul587]

Truly one of the best sardes ever! Not a single dull moment, wished it never ended

[@assiaassabir5772]

being someone struggling to find the truth and the way to the almighty creator, I really appreciate this episode. I've always been an admirer of Sufism. thank guys

هاي السردة بحاجة انو الواحد يسمعها مرة ومرتين وحتى ثلاث مرات لا يمل بصدق قمة في الجمال حديث السيد بلال اورفلي ❤

[@mohamadellahib9436]

amazing episode! we need more interviews with passionate scholars that can transfer the most unrelated subjects to matters of interest to us. Thank you for this!

[@Hijazianas]

Beyond spectacular!!! I recently started learning more about Buddhism and I found many things close in the core to Sufism which was shocking for me. I really appreciate this episode and the efforts done by The guest and the hosts to talk about such controversial topics in a way that is not biased. The way it opens our eyes to new worlds and perspectives is truly remarkable. THANK YOU.

[@tylerdordon99]

Same. I was reading a Manga (Vagabond) and found a lot of parallels between middle eastern and eastern spirituality.

[@kathleenwalter2342]

Bilal Orfali is a real gem!! Thank you for another excellent session by Sarde!!

[@talaB24]

Whenever I have time, I try to catch up with your podcast episodes. And whenever I have the actual quality time, I watch them here. One thing often comes to me: What’s even more livening than all the food for thought I get from watching your show, is catching the smiles on your faces whenever something resonates, is profound, or touches a (publicly) sensitive nerve - ever-so-gently and respectfully. Smiles full of appreciation for your guests, their knowledge and their life’s work. Really the best way to engage - I hope I get the time to watch even more.

[@roudadairy5165]

حلقة رائعة و ممتعة جداً لدرجة إعادة بعض المقاطع من جمالها و سلاسة السرد. دكتور أورفلي قدّم الموضوع بحرفية بالغة و علم غزير و سلاسة في طرح الموضوع لا يمّل منها.

What an insightful episode ! A lot of self-reflection, and kudos to Charles Al Hayek for the great reference and recommendation !

[@mahditaher7312]

The good simple questions and the wide-perspective answers was satisfying. It was more than a talk Thank you.

[@yomnbouafa5467]

حلقة رائعة ... شكرا 🌹 عالم الصوفية هو عالم مليئ بالجمال لان الانسان فيه يفر الي الله ويتخلى عن شهواته ونزواته ليتحلى بمعرفة خالقه .. اصل الجمال و الحب كله. و حينها يتذوق السعادة الحقيقية 🌹

[@shahedaly4039]

ممكن استضافة الاستاذ بلال مرة أخرى؟؟أكثر من رائع ❤

[@pgf2785]

A blessed happy Ramadan. Hopefully Mouin is feeling better. All the best wishes from Toronto, Ontario Canada.

[@ahmadyatim4185]

I agree more people like this scholars specially with bilal

[@eliasbejjani8036]

Extremely informative session. Mr. Bilal is so knowledgeable and at the same time he is very good in conveying his knowledge

[@Lamadnan]

حلقة ممتعة جدا جدا. الشكر لكما وللدكتور اورفلي. كم نحتاج لعقول متفتحه كعقله. كل الاحترام والمحبه. ✨

[@talalhamed3068]

There was no other time when I was right there sitting on that table with you guys holding my cup of tea and listening with this much attention and joy. In a moment I was a student in Dr Bilal class, in another I was in a sufi lodge.. the flow of Dr Bilal conscious story telling,took me on a journey learning about facts and history, exploring dimensions and states of being in a mystic heart, 😊 🙏all the respect. Thank you. this is again A SARDE 😅 Great job, greatful 🙏

[@mosaabaldabbagh2205]

حلقة رائعة فيديوهات سردة رجعتلي ثقتي بالانتلجنسيا العربية و شكرا إضافي للمترجم على العمل المتقن جداً

[@aimanel-majdoub3896]

Amazing episode guys, thank you. I have a question for your guest and I would be over joyed if he reads this and replies. I grew up in the 80s knowing that my family comes from a long line of sufism that goes all the way back to 16th century and I also heard a lot about 2 things, our family emigrated from Morocco about 500 years ago and that we had for close to 300 years a Majdoub Zawiya in old Beirut where the current Parliament house is, the French demolished it for unkown reasons. A few years ago I discovered our Moroccan sufi ancestor who was a mistic and lived in Morocco in the 16th century on Wikipedia but I couldn't find much of his writings, I would be very grateful if your esteemed guest can point me in the right direction in case he happens to know anything about him. " Doubt is the beginning of wisdom " Sidi Abderrahman el Majdoub (Arabic: عبد الرحمان المجذوب, March 1506 - 26 May 1568)

[@roulaserhal6693]

Amazing!!!! I loved it! Please. Keep having episodes like these. Very instructive! I could have stayed for 2 more hours. Thank you❤️

[@Reemoshe]

Loved listening to this episode of Sarde👍🏽👍🏽

[@jamilinawellness]

Great topic, as I teach Qi breathing techniques and how one can go in a state of a higher state of physical and spiritual state of mind - as a Muslim and my family heritage in Sufism I was indirectly teaching what Dr Bilal teaches . It’s was a great topic and I’m glad I came across your KZbin 👌

[@abdodeh7471]

مرحبا معين وميديا عندي فكرة لضيف رح تكون كتير مميزة الحلقة اذا قِبل الضيف، الضيف هوا دكتور علم النفس مصطفى الحجازي من بيروت، عنده كتاب سيكلوجية الانسان المقهور كتاب كتير مهم الواحد يقرا ويفهمه وشكراً الكم ولجهودكم عنجد افضل برنامج و بودكاست عربي

[@Vee369-x9o]

فعلاً شخص مميز 👍

[@abdulkareemaladwani4237]

سبق وأجروا لقاء معه.

[@samirarafat7491]

حلقة رائعة ثرية بالمعلومات. أود إضافة جواب من الاديان السماوية على سؤال مهم حسب مفهومي (هل ممكن ان اكون شخص جيد بدون الإيمان بخالق؟)، الاديان السماوية تقول بانه غير كاف للنجاة ان تكون شخص جيد/صالح فقط. يجب أن تكون صالح و مصلح معا للنجاح. إن تقف ضد الخطأ و الظلم.

[@Reemoshe]

Brilliant conversation and most interesting and informative guest

[@فطومهعلي-غ1ث]

حلقة جدا جميلة أحدى متابعتكم من ليبيا.

[@Looley]

حلقه رائعه أخذتني الى عالم اخر...شكرا❤️ لكن عندي تعليق على الدقيقه 1:30:10 لو نرجع لاي حديث إسلامي نلاقي ان التفكر بالطبيعة والمناظر هو انعكاس لعظمة الله و رؤيته بكل مكان وليس شي خاص بالصوفية فقط إنما عام للمسلمين وأظن جميع البشر شكرا مره أخرى

[@LeSage504]

It is certain that all religions were influenced by the religions that preceded them, as it is one of the laws of nature and relativism. Very interesting and passionate meeting. Thanks to Sarde team and the genius professor Al-Orfali. Thank you all.

Thank you for a great sarde. We learn something new in every episode. I had no broad knowledge about Sufism, it’s enlightening to hear about different religions. Thanks for sharing

[@nancyyamout8499]

Thank you for this amazing opportunity to learn more. This episode is one of your best, I truly enjoyed it.

شكر خاص للمترجم

كتييير حبيت الحلقة ♡♡♡

[@montaserabukmeil2112]

Thank you so much for this insightful sarde which tried to tackle a deeply controversial issue. You guys were good at getting me enjoy listening till the end, especially because you let the guest fully express thoughts. The guest looks affected by Suffism in the way he speaks. He is very selective and meticulous about words, as if he keeps something in his words. Medea, your facial expressions showing how tuned and keen about what's said are really special!
