A bit about us: We are a community of people who share a deep, abiding love of God, a heart-based spiritual path of attraction—the Shadhiliyya Sufi Path— and a guide, Sidi Muhammad Sa’id al Jamal ar Rifa’i as Shaduli (Sidi), who knows the Way and is leading and supporting us in our journey of return to our Lord.

A bit about our path: The Shadhuliyya Sufi Path is a path of attraction . . . attraction to the Light and the Love of God; and held within its ancient teachings is the promise of discovering the Truth of who we are. Beckoning us to return to our true, original nature – our Divine nature – it offers every seeker the prospect of living in eternal Peace, Love, Mercy, Justice and Freedom now. If you find yourself on this webpage, then you, too, have been attracted to this light. We welcome you.

A bit about the guide of our path: Seekers on this path follow the guidance of Sidi Shaykh Muhammad Sa’id al-Jamal ar-Rai’fi as-Shaduli who we affectionately call Sidi. Sidi has traveled this venerable path to its highest station and guides his students to the Love hidden behind the veils of all God’s creation.

Shaykh Muhammad Sa’id al-Jamal ar-Rifa’i as-Shadhuli, head of the Higher Sufi Council in Jerusalem and the Holy Land and Teacher at the Masjid al-Aqsa, the Dome of the Rock, resides in Jerusalem.Sidi says: “When you find the love you find yourself. The secret is in the love.”

“The Guide who shows you the Way is your brother. Take his hand, and he will lead you from the dark into the light… You are the Love, not another. When you find this Love … you find yourself.”
