Salaam Saturday: Sufism and its place in Islam - 14 November 2026

£10.00
Sufism is one of the most talked about yet least understood parts of Islam. Some see it as the spiritual heart of the faith, while others question where it fits at all. In this session we look at where Sufism comes from, what its early figures taught, and how its focus on purifying the heart, remembering Allah and good character connects to the Qur’an and Sunnah. Whether you are curious, sceptical or already on the path, this is a chance to look past the stereotypes and understand it for yourself.
