Sufi, Salafi, Wahhabi... it seems that Muslims have to constantly navigate a maelstrom of labels, loaded titles that some of us simply don't want to accept but sometimes feel like we have to.

Sufi, Salafi, Wahhabi... it seems that Muslims have to constantly navigate a maelstrom of labels, loaded titles that some of us simply don't want to accept but sometimes feel like we have to. The more labels that get affixed to us, the more our capacity to hate and dispute increases. Shaykh Ahmed Tijani is the kind of spiritual teacher that likes to toss out the labels and stand on (and for) principles. In this powerful iKhutbah, Shaykh Tijani is simple and direct: real differences of opinion and perspective are legitimate and merciful. Most off they ought not to give a reason to hate. Hate is not what being Muslim is about.
