mawlana rumi [d. 1273]:
from god we seek the grace of adab;
the discourteous one is deprived of the lord's grace.
the discourteous person harms not merely himself;
he sets the whole world ablaze.
— masnavi 1.4.1-2
Poor list. Many poor inclusions and major absences, and Peter Adamson isn't even Muslim! But this is a great excuse for me to make this thread.
This thread is about the late Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi, an immensely influential figure many have not even heard of.
Now, of course, there are also plenty of things you can criticize about them, and everyone has their faults.
Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi was also no stranger to controversy (see below). But objectively, the Murabitun have had a major impact on English speaking Muslims.
