what more does the world need? Johannes Witteveen

Any thought, any word and any deed that is natural, healthy and loving, is virtue. If these properties are missing, there is sin. Hazrat Inayat Khan, Indian musician and mystic (1882-1927) brought a new, modern version of ancient Sufism to the world.

THE INTERNATIONAL SUFI MOVEMENT The International Sufi Movement was founded in 1923 and has its headquarters in The Netherlands. Its aims are: Realising and spreading the knowledge of unity, the religion of love and wisdom, so that the prejudices of denominations and convictions will disappear automatically, the human heart will be filled with love, and any hatred, caused by distinctions and differences, may be eliminated. It is also discovering the Light and the power, buried in a human being, discovering the secret of each religion, the power of mysticism and the essence of philosophy, without interfering in existing customs and religious convictions. It is helping to bring the two opposite poles of the world, the East and the West, closer together through the exchange of thoughts and ideals, so that a universal fellowship of brothers and sisters will develop automatically and people can meet their fellow human beings, surpassing the narrow borders of nation and race.
