Spiritual Reality and the Races of Mankind

Question: What is the spiritual reality of the different races of mankind?

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), the spiritual reality of the different races of mankind is a profound and beautiful reflection of the Divine’s wisdom and creativity. The diversity of races is a manifestation of the Divine’s infinite creativity and wisdom, and it is a means for humanity to recognize the beauty in variety and to learn from one another.

In Sufism, the emphasis is on recognizing the spiritual essence within each individual, regardless of race or ethnicity. The spiritual reality of each person is based on their connection to the Divine, their sincerity, and their inner qualities. The physical differences in races are a reflection of the Divine’s creative power, but the true essence of each individual transcends these physical distinctions.

The teachings of the Sufi path guide us to look beyond the external differences and to focus on the heart, which is the center of our spiritual reality. The heart is the place where the Divine’s light resides, and it is the seat of sincerity, love, and consciousness. Therefore, the spiritual reality of different races is ultimately rooted in the purity and sincerity of the heart, rather than external appearances.

It is important for individuals to embrace the diversity of races and to recognize the spiritual unity that underlies this diversity. By doing so, we can learn from one another, appreciate the beauty of different cultures, and work towards a harmonious and loving coexistence.

May Allah ﷻ bless you with the ability to see the beauty in diversity and to cultivate love and understanding for all of humanity. May you be of service to the Tariqa and others, and may your character reflect the highest spiritual values.
