They have no need...




They have no need for eccentric practices, in order to rise. In their solitudes and spiritual retreats there is no room for such things as sama[1] and nama[2]. For they have come beyond spiritual ecstasy and the delirium which is Vecd. Rather, it is through a rapturous ascent, that they are brought to the most final state one can reach.


[1]  Sama or Sema Spiritual whirling, dhikr (rememberance of Allah SWT) of Mawlawi dervishes.
[2] Nama or Name Recitation of ballads and poetry composed for Allah (SWT)
