An unforgettable, eye-opening book
Through lack of information, misunderstanding and cultural prejudice, the words 'Sufi' and 'dervish' have acquired strange associations in the West, where they're likely to conjure up images of wild-eyed ragamuffins or whirling fanatics. Idries Shah's compelling book THE SUFIS shows this to be...

Prophet's Birthday Solaces Nigeria Muslims
But the occasion was celebrated by Nigerian Muslims with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow as the country is rocked by attacks by the militant group Boko Haram.
“We are in despair over the senseless killing of Nigerians by fellow Nigerians and the sacrilegious invasion of churches,” said Akintola.
“We cannot be celebrating while fellow Nigerians are weeping over their dead and maimed.
“We therefore mourn with our mourning brothers and sisters wherever the bereaved may be. We pray that Allah will give all the affected families the strength to bear their losses.”
Marking the occasion, Nigerian authorities declared Monday, February 6, a national holiday.
President Goodluck Jonathan called on Muslims to pray for enduring peace, progress and stability in the country, a call echoed by Nigerian Muslim leaders.
“This year's Mauludul-Nabiyyi calls for sober reflections. It calls for prayers for our dear country,” Akintola said.
“Nigeria today is at the crossroads. The foundation of this country is shaking. We are now exactly where we were in 1967.

Therefore he is known by the Persians and Afghans as Jalaludin Balkhi, the world as Rumi (from Rum or Rome, that is the eastern border of Byzantium) and the Turks simply as Mevlana adoration, as if there is no other.He founded the Mevlevi Order of the so-called "whirling" dervish often worship in a complex and beautiful dance that seems to emulate the movements of the planets. He left behind a massive work of mystical poetry that is loved all over the (mostly non-Arab) Muslim world and he is sometimes said to be both the best-selling poet in modern America, or, more probably, the most translated....
