- لماذا اشتهر جلال الدين الرومي؟
- كيف يمارس التصوّف حول العالم؟
- المفاهيم الخاطئة الشائعة عن المعتقدات الصوفيّة من وجهات نظر مختلفة.
- ما هي العناصر المشتركة والمختلفة بين التصوّف، الإسلام، المسيحيّة واليهوديّة؟
- التفسيرات المختلفة للتصوّف بين البلدان وعبر التاريخ
- الباطنية الروحانية والفنون في التصوّف (الشعر، الرقص، الفن، الغناء)
Bilal Orfali is a scholar specializing in Arabic literature, Quranic studies and Sufism, who currently serves as the Sheikh Zayed Chair of Arabic and Islamic Studies at The American University of Beirut (AUB). During his PhD at Yale he began looking into spirituality and Sufism to satisfy his curiosity, and now teaches an in-demand class about it at AUB.
In this Sarde, we spoke about the following:
- Why is Rumi so damn popular?
- How is Sufism defined and practiced around the world?
- Common myths and misconceptions about Sufist beliefs from multiple perspectives
- What unites/separates Sufism, Islam, Christianity and Judaism?
- Different interpretations of Sufism across countries and cultures throughout history
- Mysticism and the arts in Sufism (poetry, dance, art, singing)

💙You are really amazing my friends...👌🏽 Thank you for being in our lives🌷
You guys are my favorite
being someone struggling to find the truth and the way to the almighty creator, I really appreciate this episode. I've always been an admirer of Sufism. thank guys
اسلوب د. اورفلي بسيط و جذاب، يعطي كمية غزيرة من المعلومات بسلاسة و منطق واضح و دون تحيز. انا احسد طلابه عليه. حلقة مناسبة جدا لشهر رمضان الذي من المفترض ان يكون شهر التعبد و الروحانيات و التقرب الله
Truly one of the best sardes ever! Not a single dull moment, wished it never ended
"المُتصوِّف هو من لا يحجُبُ نورُ معرفتِه نورَ ورعِه!"
السري السقطي، و يالله كم في كلمته هذه من عِلم!
please make an episode about the druze religion! it’s so hard to find information about it especially with conversations as sophisticated and well-put together as your podcasts bring to us!!
ruclips.net/video/OmD1G9BnhkA/видео.html
amazing episode! we need more interviews with passionate scholars that can transfer the most unrelated subjects to matters of interest to us. Thank you for this!
Beyond spectacular!!! I recently started learning more about Buddhism and I found many things close in the core to Sufism which was shocking for me. I really appreciate this episode and the efforts done by The guest and the hosts to talk about such controversial topics in a way that is not biased. The way it opens our eyes to new worlds and perspectives is truly remarkable. THANK YOU.
Same. I was reading a Manga (Vagabond) and found a lot of parallels between middle eastern and eastern spirituality.
Bilal Orfali is a real gem!! Thank you for another excellent session by Sarde!!
Amazing episode guys, thank you. I have a question for your guest and I would be over joyed if he reads this and replies.
I grew up in the 80s knowing that my family comes from a long line of sufism that goes all the way back to 16th century and I also heard a lot about 2 things, our family emigrated from Morocco about 500 years ago and that we had for close to 300 years a Majdoub Zawiya in old Beirut where the current Parliament house is, the French demolished it for unkown reasons. A few years ago I discovered our Moroccan sufi ancestor who was a mistic and lived in Morocco in the 16th century on Wikipedia but I couldn't find much of his writings, I would be very grateful if your esteemed guest can point me in the right direction in case he happens to know anything about him.
" Doubt is the beginning of wisdom "
Sidi Abderrahman el Majdoub (Arabic: عبد الرحمان المجذوب, March 1506 - 26 May 1568)
حلقة رائعة و ممتعة جداً لدرجة إعادة بعض المقاطع من جمالها و سلاسة السرد.
دكتور أورفلي قدّم الموضوع بحرفية بالغة و علم غزير و سلاسة في طرح الموضوع لا يمّل منها.
يا جماعة انتو دوا للأعصاب والله ❤️❤️
فعلا مو طبيعي 👏👏
انا سعيد جدا بهذة القناة ومحتواها!....هذا هو لبنان الجميل، لبنان العرفان والرقي! اخوكم من السعودية ♥

سبق وأجروا لقاء معه.
كل شخص ينفتح قلبه وعقله لهذا السرد هو انسان جميل ومنفتح على جميع الثقافات.🌷
Whenever I have time, I try to catch up with your podcast episodes. And whenever I have the actual quality time, I watch them here. One thing often comes to me:
What’s even more livening than all the food for thought I get from watching your show, is catching the smiles on your faces whenever something resonates, is profound, or touches a (publicly) sensitive nerve - ever-so-gently and respectfully. Smiles full of appreciation for your guests, their knowledge and their life’s work.
Really the best way to engage - I hope I get the time to watch even more.
حلقه رائعه أخذتني الى عالم اخر...شكرا❤️
لكن عندي تعليق على الدقيقه 1:30:10
لو نرجع لاي حديث إسلامي نلاقي ان التفكر بالطبيعة والمناظر هو انعكاس لعظمة الله و رؤيته بكل مكان وليس شي خاص بالصوفية فقط إنما عام للمسلمين وأظن جميع البشر
شكرا مره أخرى
1:25:30
روحي وروحك يا روحي روحين بروح
ن راحت روحك يا روحي روحي بتروح
ممكن استضافة الاستاذ بلال مرة أخرى؟؟أكثر من رائع ❤
Thanks so much for showcasing the Lebanon we are craving to experience. Depth, modesty and intellect.

Hahaha thanks 🙏 😊
It’s really fortunate to have a podcast like yours which gives a platform to brilliant minds like Orfali, we need a lot more, blessed be your efforts, don’t stop ever…
A blessed happy Ramadan. Hopefully Mouin is feeling better. All the best wishes from Toronto, Ontario Canada.

It was more than a talk
Thank you.

There was no other time when I was right there sitting on that table with you guys holding my cup of tea and listening with this much attention and joy.
In a moment I was a student in Dr Bilal class, in another I was in a sufi lodge..
the flow of Dr Bilal conscious story telling,took me on a journey learning about facts and history, exploring dimensions and states of being in a mystic heart,
😊 🙏all the respect. Thank you.
this is again A SARDE 😅
Great job, greatful 🙏

حلقة رائعة
فيديوهات سردة رجعتلي ثقتي بالانتلجنسيا العربية
و شكرا إضافي للمترجم على العمل المتقن جداً
Extremely informative session. Mr. Bilal is so knowledgeable and at the same time he is very good in conveying his knowledge
It will be So interesting and nice episode...
Good for سردة
👍
This Sarde is priceless! Please we need more episodes with this genius!
I agree more people like this scholars specially with bilal
Thank you for a great sarde. We learn something new in every episode.
I had no broad knowledge about Sufism, it’s enlightening to hear about different religions.
Thanks for sharing
حلقة رائعة ... شكرا 🌹
عالم الصوفية هو عالم مليئ بالجمال لان الانسان فيه يفر الي الله ويتخلى عن شهواته ونزواته ليتحلى بمعرفة خالقه .. اصل الجمال و الحب كله. و حينها يتذوق السعادة الحقيقية 🌹
Loved listening to this episode of Sarde👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you so much for this wonderful conversation..It is filled with infinite love, light, beauty, joy and truth that resonates in the depth of the heart 🙏💖✨
Amazing episode, Dr. Bilal is a gem 💎😍
what a great and insightful episode!
Great topic, as I teach Qi breathing techniques and how one can go in a state of a higher state of physical and spiritual state of mind - as a Muslim and my family heritage in Sufism I was indirectly teaching what Dr Bilal teaches .
It’s was a great topic and I’m glad I came across your RUclips 👌
It was a wonderful and interesting episode ♥️
One of the most fabulous episode amazing ✨✨
Thank you so much for this insightful sarde which tried to tackle a deeply controversial issue. You guys were good at getting me enjoy listening till the end, especially because you let the guest fully express thoughts. The guest looks affected by Suffism in the way he speaks. He is very selective and meticulous about words, as if he keeps something in his words. Medea, your facial expressions showing how tuned and keen about what's said are really special!
عظيمة الحلقة، شكرا كتير لكم وشكرا كتير للدكتور اورفالي على الغزارة والأسلوب البسيط الرائع
ألف شكر
Brilliant conversation and most interesting and informative guest
Amazing!!!! I loved it! Please. Keep having episodes like these. Very instructive! I could have stayed for 2 more hours. Thank you❤️
إيه الحلاوة والعظمة دي!
حالة حضور تشفي
I feel I am present, I feel that I am in my truth.. Wow really Wow
What a well educated man! Great episode
Thank you.. now I have a new perspectice concerning the Sufism
حلقة رائعة ثرية بالمعلومات. أود إضافة جواب من الاديان السماوية على سؤال مهم حسب مفهومي (هل ممكن ان اكون شخص جيد بدون الإيمان بخالق؟)، الاديان السماوية تقول بانه غير كاف للنجاة ان تكون شخص جيد/صالح فقط. يجب أن تكون صالح و مصلح معا للنجاح. إن تقف ضد الخطأ و الظلم.
Nice choice. Great episode.
كتييير حلوة هالسردة ❤️👍🏻
كتييير حبيت الحلقة ♡♡♡
Merci l’Equipe 🎉
Amazing episode and Dr. Orfali way of dialogue is attractive
Incredible episode! thank you SO much!
Thank you guys ❤❤🙏🙏
It is certain that all religions were influenced by the religions that preceded them, as it is one of the laws of nature and relativism.
Very interesting and passionate meeting. Thanks to
Sarde team and the genius professor Al-Orfali.
Thank you all.
شكرا سىرده
رمضان كريم
