The Brethren Of Purity- A Pre 1717 Sufi Islamic Masonic Order | Ikhwan Al-Safa

Greetings to all, I was inspired by two Sufi brothers to make a video on the Brethren of Purity( Ikhwan Al Safa) which is a Sufi Masonic order that existed before Freemasonry’s official founding in 1717. I hope you enjoy. Please ask for permission before reposting. My email is [e-mail] . #Islam #Sufism #Freemasonry #MasonicEducation #Equality #IkhwanAlSafa
