I was interviewed by Dr Muḥammad Ali on his channel “Bordering on Belief”. The subject of the interview was “Sufi Conceptions of the Divine”. Dr Ali’s excellent questions allowed me to address a broad range of topics, including:
- Mystical experiences and knowledge
- Prophethood and wilaya (status of being a wali)
- Position of Sufism in Islam
- Jalāl (majesty) and jamāl (beauty)
- Divine love
- Imagery of wine and intoxication
- Dhikr (remembrance)
- Samāʿ (listening to religious chanting)
