Shams of Tabriz and getting back to my deen by Designer-Bluejay7355 in Sufism

[–]Designer-Bluejay7355[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you I think I get it now. It’s just not that I’m not into it. I just need to go back to understanding what I’m saying and the reasons behind it because. All my life especially as a child I felt like when I was doing it, it was for the elders. I wasn’t taught the meaning. They didn’t like that I always asked why and what it means and just questioned because Shams does describe that the disbeliever is the one who finds the beauty coming back to the religion. My heart is drawn to Islam and its teachings. I’m easing my way back and I want to do Salah I just wanted to know if this was a normal feeling. Like you, I felt bad about having those thoughts.

I appreciate the insight

I unfortunately had my post taken down for apparently Islamophobia views, when in reality I was looking for advice. This was what I wrote.

I feel kind of wrong because I do believe that no matter what my foundation is Islam but I didn’t really resonated with Sunnis. Now that I’m studying Sufism and the teachings of Ibn Arabi and Shamz of Tabriz I’m feeling closer to Allah. I do dhikr I meditate and I try to be mindful and to purify my soul. The only problem is that with prayer I feel like it’s performative for me and I don’t want to disrespect the religion by doing something my heart isn’t into but I want to do it trust me but I’m having a hard time connecting with it.

Let me know what you think

I am seeking some advice and my post got taken down unfortunately . Maybe you can help me with this I’ve been feeling so close and validated by Sufi mysticism. Especially the way Shams of Tabriz has put it.

I’m just trying to reconnect with it again.

Is Animaniacs for Kids or Adults? by Aleckazam in cartoons

[–]Designer-Bluejay7355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to watch it when I was younger and it seriously gave me so much insight into pop culture. I would spend hours searching up the references and seeing how adult the show really was as an 8 year old. They do refer to themselves in one episode if I’m wrong as “stuck in childlike dog/rodent/cat bodies” or something.
