Welcome

Welcome to the Shadhiliyya Sufi Center Website!

We are delighted that you’ve found our website and our deep prayer is that you may find something in these pages that will open your heart to Divine Love and bring you closer to God (Allah). We hope to share the deep beauty of what we’ve received on an amazing spiritual journey.

As salaamu alaykum (peace be upon you).

Newcomers

We warmly welcome newcomers to any of our events. Most of our local communities offer teachings and spiritual practices designed to purify our hearts so that we can be better vessels of love and service to our brothers and sisters everywhere. Also, we are very blessed to have our Guide visit us annually. We gather in larger communities or “Sufi Schools” to experience his presence directly, receive his teachings, and share loving fellowship. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We’re eager to hear from you.

About Us

We are a community of students of Sidi Shaykh Muhammad al-Jamal ar-Rifa’i ash-Shadhuli of Jerusalem. Sidi is an extraordinary spiritual Guide who has opened our hearts to Divine Love and dramatically transformed our lives. We are dedicated to embodying and sharing Sidi’s message of peace, love, mercy, justice, freedom, and beauty. The Sufi way is a path of unity that draws us from all walks of life and every ethnic group. While largely based in North America, we are linked to communities in South America, the Philippines, Japan and Europe.

Jewels from This Path

"When you find the love, you find yourself. The secret is in the love. You are the love, not another....When you have the knowledge of the love, you feel peace in your heart. The jewels are inside you. This is the holy meaning."
