inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'oon
so much real islam teachings of love from folk coming from the sufi traditions
sadly privately and on some social media some muslims are more worried about branding sufis as bidatees "salawaat obsessed" grave worshippers and even kufr….
hopefully the scourge of saudi wahabi salafism will be recognised by the misguided and misled and be banished from our shores
thats the attitude that leads to the doings of the taliban al qaeda boko haram sephah sahaba al nusra isis etc
