IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE TENDERLY COMPASSIONATE, THE INFINITELY COMPASSIONATE. SUFI MEDITATION by Shaykh Nur al Jerrahi Members of the Noetic Science Association of New York City were studying meditation in various contexts and requested Sheikh Nur, the author and thinker Lex Hixon, to speak about what they called ˆ£Sufi meditation.ˆ§ On a weekday night, several of their members visited the beautiful third-floor music room of the Masjid al-Farah in southern Manhattan, where Sheikh Nur al-Jerrahi guided the Pir Nureddin al-Jerrahi dervish community for fifteen years. A spontaneous meeting of minds occurred, and this unusual discourse, taped on audio and later carefully edited and clarified by Sheikh Nur, was the result. Both dervishes and visitors were moved by the range, depth, and tenderness of these words as richly presenting Islamic Sufism and by the atmosphere of light that surrounded them on that special evening.
