Beloved Ones of God, we welcome you to this portal of the Sufi Ruhaniat International and the Path of Sufism. In the words of Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan, “Sufism has never had a first exponent or a historical origin. It existed from the beginning, because human beings have always possessed the light which is their second nature".

Ya Rahman! Ya Rahim! Reciting and meditating upon the Qualities of Allah, the 99 Beautiful Names, is a central Sufi practice in our lineage -- opening the way to spiritual growth by way of attunement to the divine qualities already living in us. As you may have heard, Murshid Wali Ali, Pir Shabda, Imam Bilal and Faisal Muqaddam and others have been meeting for the past several years to collaborate in the writing of a comprehensive guidebook to the Names, and completion is now in view. Find out more about the project and how to place an advance order for the Special Edition ...
