Curator of conversations about Sufism, amplifying progressive Islamic voices on Bluesky.
This talk walks through Qur’an 2:183-187 as a Ramadan roadmap, framing fasting as a "school of taqwa": training the nafs, strengthening watchfulness of Allah, and opening the heart to du’a through awareness of Allah’s nearness. It also covers core rulings and mercy-based ease in the Shari’a.

A classical Sufi-inflected reading of Ramadan: Qur’an 2:183-186 links fasting to taqwa -- and unexpectedly to divine nearness. From the nafs’ “fuel” to the heart as a polished mirror, it traces how hunger can open a different kind of attention, culminating in Laylat al-Qadr and a return to fitra.

‘Do not see the faults of others, keep secret their wrongdoings, and advise them only when no one can hear.

Feel the evil and terror of your ego, and the shame of going along with it.’

—— Imam Sulami (d. 11th C CE) Kitab al-Futuwwah

Hasan Basri, early Sufi ascetic, lived in constant dhikr of Allah. He taught zuhd, tawba and taqwa, guiding souls to purity and divine nearness.

In his latest sohbet, Paul Salahuddin Armstrong argues that events and revelations unfold the way they do for a reason, and that truth often arrives gradually and imperfectly rather than as a dramatic, unmistakable moment.

Islamic scholars like Al-Ghazali, Ibn Sina, and Ibn Arabi highlight how sound—Qur'an recitation, dhikr, and natural sounds—shapes our inner harmony. Beyond words, these practices realign heart, mind, and spirit, fostering healing and balance from within. #InnerPeace #IslamicWisdom

Factors associated with belief that sex between two men was a sin were: residing in certain regions, being Muslim, and higher levels of internalized homophobia. Research findings support the need for LGBT-affirming religious doctrine, which has implications for the health of LGBT communities.

Sufism is experiential. Capacities, even those for learning beyond a certain point, are provoked by Sufis, by one's own efforts and what results from them, and by an element of what is referred to by Sufis as the Divine.

In today’s reflection, Paul Salahuddin Armstrong continues the story of Dhul al-Qarnayn by turning to verses 92–99 of Surah al-Kahf. Dhul al-Qarnayn responds, not as a ruler seeking tribute or control, but as a servant of justice who empowers people to take part in their own safeguarding.
