00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			Sufi Is it a derogatory term? In
some circles it's a derogatory
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:08
			term and in some circles is a
praiseworthy term when a Sufi
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:12
			lives by the Quran and the Sunnah
as simply means that this person
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			is very devoted to Allah and
remembers Allah much, such as the
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			old definition in the ancient
times. And some today, then yes,
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			that's a good term. But if it
means someone who leaves off the
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:28
			sacred law, and dances around,
like all these Muslim heritage
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:33
			things, we got a whirling dervish
whirling around itself is not the
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			issue. It's making that religion
that's an issue, but leaving off
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:41
			Sharia and doing all sorts of
innovative stuff that the scholars
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45
			don't accept. That's where it's
used. derogatorily
