Proposed deletion

Oppose. I have just stumbled across this page as I was doing a bit of incidental editing about an Australian Sufi, and judging by the number of related people and topics there are out there, I would not like to see this page deleted. I think that it could be usefully kept and improved. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 06:56, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Western Sufism is not Universal Sufism

Hazrat Inayat Khan was the first sufi-master to bring sufism to the West in 1910, yet he never claimed to represent a "Western Sufism". On the contrary, his intention was clearly to unite East and West. It would be right to call him a representative of "Universal Sufism", this term including East and West. The equation of "Universal Sufism" with "Western Sufism", like it is done here, is wrong and misleading. It is limiting the masters teaching to the "West". Today the teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan is very much alive in western and eastern countries. Lordring (talk) 21:40, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
