Beloved, in the Name of God, look with the Eye of the heart and don't look back. Understand with the Eye of the Hearing of God. Listen with God, that your hearing may be merged with the Hearing of God. See with God and His Name will come to you. Then you will hear with the Ear of God and see with the Eye of God.

Sidi Muhammad Saʿeed al-Jamal ar-Rifaʿi ash-Shadhuli was a Shaykh in the Shadhuli Tariqah and an imam and teacher at al-Aqsa mosque. He was a mufti in the Shariʿah courts of Jerusalem and was qualified in the four main Sunni schools of fiqh as well as the Jaʿfari school.
He is the author of over forty books on Sufism, Tafsir, Prophetic Medicine and Spiritual Healing, including He Who Knows Himself Knows His Lord and The Music of the Soul.
The UK Shadhili community includes people who spent time in Jerusalem with Sidi in the 1970s and 80s, as well as many people who have studied at the University of Sufism and Healing in the USA.
The community is mainly based in South East England, but encompasses many people further abroad, in Europe and the Middle East.
We hold regular online gatherings as well as in-person dhikr circles, and larger events where we sometimes bring teachers from outside the UK.
We are currently forming a committee to serve the community and to help us to organise events. If you are interested in helping out, please email us at info@suficommunity.org.uk.
The interim committee has written a constitution for the community to be approved at the inaugural AGM, which you can read here (pdf). Please send any feedback to info@suficommunity.org.uk.
