SUFI MEETINGS in SHEFFIELD, S YORKS

Welcome to Sufi-love-path-

The Sufi Love Path can help you connect to the ancient, mystical Sufi tradition of Islam,

as transmitted through our so recently departed teacher, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim of Cyprus [below right] (may Allah bless him and raise his heavenly station)

Here you can find out about sufism, and make contact, physically or spiritually with Sheikh Nazim's successor - Sheikh Mehmet, [above left] and with some of his UK followers.

We are part of the Sheffield Sufi Association, and also have links across South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, Notts, Leicester and as far north as York

We aren't saints!! - but we are a group of sincere spiritual seekers meeting two or three times a week in Sheffield and at other times by invitation - eg in summer to Kendal or into Derbyshire - [see pictures below.]

The need for 'good' communities

All mankind nowadays are becoming troublemakers. Everyone is trying to make more trouble because no respect. .... ... .... - wildness covers everywhere. ..... Without respect, without love, without mercy, without justice how can we claim that we are keeping humanity? …… ….. This world must be changed. ...... Bringing - new, good ones .. - good communities, blessed communities, clean communities, -

.. we hope to be from such a community. We are trying to make such a community - even a handful - it is all right. Try to be from the members of that clean community - [Edited from Shaykh Nazim 1991]

So - "Come, come, - whoever you are. Believer in any religion or none.

It doesn't matter. Ours is not a counsel of despair.

Though you have broken your vow a hundred times still come - come." (Rumi)
