Discovering Devine Wisdom Through Sufism
Shahbaz Center offers transformative programs and resources that deepen understanding of Sufism and Islamic traditions, fostering spiritual growth, cultural appreciation, and the message of harmony and love.
Restoring the Spirit of Islam in an Age of Consumerism
The present world is overrun by consumerism. Consumerist mentality has pervaded all facets of life and has become the call of the day.
Even religion is not free from consumerism. People are trying to quantify God’s blessings in return for rituals performed and are putting religion on a cause-and-effect mechanical basis. This is diverting human attention from meekness and humble beseeching of His grace and mercy.
On the other hand, Sufism is being perverted and made corrupt by fakes and self-seekers. People are flocking to ‘Peers/Shaykhs/Spiritual leaders’ for mundane benefits and relief, and this is being encouraged. In this way as well, Sufism succumbs to the consumerist mentality. In the nineteenth century, there was a strong backlash to Sufism in the Arabian Peninsula and the world at large. This was in the name of reformism, but in the long run, these reformist movements have managed to distort the very spirit of Islam. So-called Islamic politics is being guided by and large to fulfill self-interests and sectarian ideologies.
On many instances, these politicians have taken up armed conflict as a method, bringing immeasurable suffering to human beings instead of peace and the elevation of human consciousness.
In this chaotic background of the present, it has been felt that Islam should be brought back to its proper perspective. Suffering, subjugation, and injustice should be replaced with the preaching of peace, harmony, and tranquility, and ultimately the elevation of human consciousness. This is a sure way to save planet Earth from man-made destruction.
Reviving True Sufism: A Path to Inner Peace and Divine Awareness
The Shahbaz Center will focus on the traditional teaching of Tasawwuf and not confine itself to a particular Silsilah or Tariqa, welcoming all to know their true selves and thus know God. Tasawwuf is not only particular knowledge but also a practice and a process of elevation of consciousness to a level uncharted. This center humbly wants to introduce academic Sufism to people who are interested.

A Prophetic Sunna
One of the main principles of Sufism is for the murid to give a pledge to his shaykh that he will be an obedient slave of Allah Most High, that he will avoid sins, and that he will adhere to the Tariqa and its wird until his death…
