Whyno khutbah in more than a year.
masjids are closed where i live.
Oh wow, sorry to hear that.masjids are closed where i live.
Really? I think where I'm at we talked about more than I can count tbh.Not current events I can tell you that much. I have yet to hear a summon on the danger of khawarijism and how to protect the youth from this thrash ideology.
At work so I usually do Jumma with some other fellows If I can. If we got time I usually go off on a tangent about explaining different theological aspects to the deen or whatnot. Its fun being a sufi ngl.
Just differ theology wise but the core aspects for me remain the same i.e tawhid but also an emphasis on tasawuuf. Is it the same Islam practiced as it was 1400 years ago? No. It is more about gaining a path of attainment through mysticism you could say but based more on finding your inner peace through god. Niggas hear mysticism and immediately think praying on shrines etc... I dont do any of that daft shit. Dhikr is very important but I dont take it to far in that sense. Then again there are many type of sufism and its hard to just boil it down to one paragraph. For me sufism has been given a bad name by conservative salafs who takfir anyone and everyone and disregard that some of the great scholars of the past were also sufis. Essentially put attaining spirituality within sharia in some cases ( although I disagree with some aspects of this but this is my personal opinion) Its funny because Somalia historically had a great number of sufis but over the past 30 years with the spread of the cult of wahabbism its put an end to something that was integral to our culture.Anything majorly different you do being Sufi, ie from everyone else.

Yep they don't realise it because somali culture is so ingrained in sufism that its hard to just get rid of that even though wahabbism has been trying for the past 30 years. For me salafism to the extreme end is a traitorous to our rich Islamic culture weve had that works for us.Trust me, Somalia is still majority Sufi.
Even the Wahabbis are just Sufis with Saudi Arabian influences.
