The Rock Star and the Mullahs
Posted by sufiist Dec 13, 2007 04:53 am
I have not seen the documentry.He just asked for verse in QURAN that contains words about the Forbiddens of music.But in my opinion he should also give some citations because it will proov his point in a much effective way.He talks about sufism and dont even know the history of sufism.I wonder if he know about "TARIQA S".Every sufi links sufism back to Mola ALI (A.S) except for the Naqshbandi order because they link their origin back to Hazrat abu bakar.Both rules links their roots to madina.The oldest sufi order known today is from Iraq.So no,its not a local ideology.But he is right about the mullahs they are importing saudi sect a.k.a wahabism.But salman is also doing no good because he is also giving expossure to his concepts without any proof.my main point is that we should do some research and study before shooting stuff because not all sects beleave inthe restrictions of music.And all the sufi-rock thing is just a wrapper for making money.I never get any teachings from junoons sufi-rock.They never wrote or played any song that teaches "Lataif-e-Sitta" which are the basic of sufism.Music is allowed under specific conditions defined by every ayatullah for their followers because "TAQLEED" is a neccessry in Shiite sect.So in reflect sufism is also the biggest school of thought that practice music.Shiite sect is the closest sect in islam to sufism followed by Non-tempered sunnism.So its acctually wahabism that dont allow any kind of artform.So,anyone who hates mullah s should not drag all of the Islam,because every sect is different and has their own rules (Sharia).Im not saying it to salman but this is becoming a trend.And i have nothing against wahabism.And sufism is not a sect(just for information),its a state of mind.
