but is it a faith going by the books ? I think they mixed with local tribal animism...

@@scienceseekerresearcher6130 everywhere you go around the Muslim world, you will find different degrees of local cultural influences that have found their way through the practice of Islam and people may or may not follow those cultural traditions and may or may not know precisely where Islam ends and their culture begins. Senegal is, in this regard, no different from the Arabian peninsula, the Indian subcontinent, or any other part of the Muslim world.

@@musamusashi understood

@@musamusashi I love your response. I just said something similar when asked this question. Jerejef! I am happy you enjoyed your time in the land of terranga.

Obrigado!

Como entraste na tariqah tijani?

Se puder responder sobre como entrar na tariqah Tijanniyyah aqui no Brasil eu agradeço

Salam brother ​@@torture_des_fils_doummayya2652 I hope you find what you were looking for

dgfhghghgh i genuinely didn’t expect to see you in the comments of this video

Hey Man! I can get definitely get you some books to read on west African Sufism!!! Hit me up anytime 😄

@@safi.uh_ exactly my thought! hahah

The literature is absent because those tribes haven't taken education seriously.

Salam Comrade, glad we share additional interests. I would recommend Rudolph Ware's excellent works on this topic, in addition to Shaykh Ahmadou Bamba: A Peacemaker for Our Time, A Spirit of Tolerance: The Inspiring Life of Tierno Bokar, and the prolific Tijani Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse's writings directly (which are in Arabic and also available in English and French). Finally, this channel just released a video on Bamba that I recommend.

That's really cool, do you/your father have any further connection with the Tijaniyya? Happy I could be of service :)

No he doesn't but he studied religion and various cultures. He is a historian by training.

@@LetsTalkReligion Thank you very much for your Video. You can have more info in Fes , Ain el Madhi , Kaolackand many other pleaces .. There are unic books you will find easily : Jawahir al Maani... at disposal for any need .BR

Ahmad tijani was a psychopath, look up his history. Follow real islam by following the Quran and Sunnah.

Nice name !

Sheikh Ibraheem Nyasse is the most important figure and the most famous tijjaniya fugure after Sheikh Tijjani himself, he's not just known in senegal but around Africa especially Nigeria for example his photos are the most printed and the most popular scholar in the country. I am shocked not even his mention in this documentary.

@@maina_1116 exactly!!!

True talk brother, can’t continue the video again

I was suprised also bro. Not even a mention of Sheikh Ibrahim Inyass in this Tijaniyya topic!

@@dj_zeeez Well, I am a murid of Cheikh Ibrahim Niasse RTA myself and my view is that we should praise Filip for his efforts. Baye Niasse is my Cheikh but we should recognize that he is not the only Cheikh in the Tidjanya order not to mention the other sufi orders. So, we should be more tolerant.

Wa'alaikum salam my friend! I'm very glad you liked it, and you are certainly right that I benefited in many ways from the experience. I'm happy you've found a spiritual path that gives you light, my experience with the Tijaniyya has been nothing but positive!

Surprised he didn't.

Your words warm my heart, as I actually made that music myself :) I have released it under the name Zini. Here is a link to Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/6QnuBUANLRXq0u0BCF59VK?si=aTlJ_Ce9QkKxEOIFddU8gQ

Could you please also share your artist name and complete song name, because I'm using a mobile phone and can't exactly open the link due to some app glitch. Also, you've done a really great work through all your videos. I m commenting on your videos for first time, so...

Thanks for the tip! Would love to go sometime.

@@LetsTalkReligion i invite you for sure during the annual Gamou "celebration of the birth of the Prophet Mouhammad Pbuh "

Ha ha ha. Because Suffism has nothing to do with Islam. Suffism is against the Quraanic teachings, agaist Sunnah against the truthful path of the Companions of Prophet sallaahu alaihi wasallam. Suffism is deviant. Stay away!

@@huzaifahali412 ASTAGHFIRULLAH!... A OU ZHU BILAHI MIN ASH SHAITAN IR RAJIM!

@@huzaifahali412 please don't be extreme. This rhetoric is very divisive. I agree that there are some definitely misguidance in the practice of some sufis but NOT all their practices are deviant

Exactly what I was just commenting about! This video is literally just what he saw and not an explanatory piece about TIJANIYA.

You were initiated in Texas?!

@@Knowble7 Alhamdulillah yes, over the internet

@@yahya2925 Wonderful. Is that really possible ? I thought you needed physical contact. Nevertheless, congratulations

@@hdiallo2008 Absolutely possible over the phone/video call

@@Knowble7 Yup. Over the phone I was initiated by my shaykh Simone Dario Nardella a Muqaddam of Shaykh Ould Khayri (H.A)

you are welcome. where are you from ?

Pune India.

Yes mixed gener dhikr/zikr is pretty common from my experience. But they rarely (if ever) use any musical instruments at all.

More of saint kind of

On point ! So true ...👌

Humanity is the same all around. Everybody loves different people as long as it's just a few. But every single nation hates mass migration.

Its not about the number of foreigners it's about their culture, hospitality how they treat guests and strangers a like. Because if you ibserve closely or visit middle Eastern or African countries you'll notice they treat strangers like guests and that is powerfull it is the determining factor in their behaviour.

Not true. Numerous countries in Africa and the Middle East have hundreds of thousands to millions of refugees and they're not mistreated either-and that is despite the fact that these countries are already poor and struggling. You Europeans are uniquely xenophobic in the world.

Hehe, that's what the people we spend time with and interview are called when we do field research!

@@LetsTalkReligion Filip 007 I guess, lol

If we were to judge Muslims by their character and conduct, we would see that those brothers and sisters are much closer to the true spirit of Islam, something that salafi, wahabi or those other sects that criticize sufism never are, harsh and intollerant as they are.

@@musamusashi It really has nothing to do with the character of people. You don't judge a religion by the people that practice it. Human beings are fallible. You just have to follow the directives of the scripture. If we judge sufism according to the teachings of the prophet SAW, it's nothing more than an invention. These Sufi's love their saints more than they do the prophet of Allah. Some worship these saints. They're totally lost.

@@ezyfnef it has ALL to do with character and behaviour. What prophet Muhammad (as) said when asked who is the best among our umma? Those who treat their family, neighbours and people better ;)

@@musamusashi So because isis is going off cutting people's heads on TV and they claim to be Muslim, do that make you one of them?

I personally not follow sufism or any other ism nor do i consider myself anything but Muslim: i just observe the divisions and sectarianism and feel sad... but Allah is well higher than anything they attribute to him, including man made religions that try to suffocate the natural, logical and Divine way. Fi amani Allah, ma salama.

Leave the wahabism at home

@@FindRelapsE bro not all of sufism is bad but you can't deny that some of these people's practice is not fully Islamic. Just look at the way the men and women were seating together. The prophet would not have done that. Men and women pray in different spaces for a reason

And the Prophet tells us to follow the highly knowledgeable after him and these Shaikhs are examples of such people so we have nothing to do than to follow them. And you should know that what they do mainly is make us constantly remember Allah and His messenger.

And again,you don’t need a Hadith to make you love the Prophet no matter the way you do it but it should not be shirk

Sufism is Islam as long you don't do shirik.

Sufism is the name of the discipline that focuses on Islamic spirituality (Ihsan/tazkiya), just like fiqh is the name of the discipline that focuses on Islamic law (Islam) and aqida is the name of the discipline that focuses on Islamic theology (Iman). None of those 3 terms or the many schools of thought that developed around them existed in the time of the Prophet, but as we know from the hadith of Jibreel all 3 are required. And the Qur'an instructs us to "ask the people of dhikr if you do not know," in the case of spirituality "dhikr" in this verse is both the literal and metaphorical meaning (people of knowledge / scholars). They are the ones who focused on that and preserved it in a continous chain (sanad) from the time of the Prophet PBUH until today. Of course I mean legitimate Sufis/Sufi shaykhs not misguided fakers.
