1.Similar background - educated/ middleclass, learned and Experienced
If one is ‘educated and middleclass’ (experienced in what exactly?) but this does not mean the person is drawn to a specific group…
2. A lot of emphasis on building a community with meaning ( not like our desi lot with inarticulate, village mentaility).
If one is not desi (let’s say white like myself and many murabits) should one not still respect all cultures even if they have ‘village mentality’…
3. Common rational objecitive driven by Malaki fiqh (heavily based on Mumalaat- finanical matters)
No problem with that (it’s commendable.)
4. Reverts are looking for more then rituals so they find the tassawuf more to their liking. Dislike of literalism with all the pit falls.
But we also find ‘literalist’ reverts who do not agree with the concept of tassawuf in any form. (I do not necessarily agree with them.)
5. Driven by conviction to better themselves individually and collectively
Does one need to belong to a group (movement or turuq) to achieve this?
