Life and Teachings

Hazrat Sheikh Sayyid Ahmed er-Rifâi (1119-1182) was born on a Thursday in the first half of the lunar month of Receb, in Hasen, in the Vasit province of Iraq.

Sufism, tasawwuf, is a way of life.

Through this way of life, a deeper identity is discovered and comes into being. This deeper identity, beyond the already known personality, is in harmony with everything that exists in the universe. This deeper identity, or the essential self, has abilities of awareness, action, creativity and love that are far beyond the abilities of the superficial personality.
