"The Shadhiliyya Sufi Center is a spiritual center dedicated to the study and practice of the spiritual teachings of the Shadhiliyya Sufi path, a religious tradition which is over 600 years old and which is based on the wisdom of the prophets.
We believe that God's Divine Word is revealed to us through the Torah, Gospel and Qur'an and through the examples of all the Prophets, may peace and blessings be upon them.
The Shadhiliyya Sufi Center was formed to actualize principles of spiritual discipline and development, and spiritual living in the context of daily life. The center's purpose is to spread the message of peace, love, justice and unity in the world through worship, spiritual practice, service to humanity and a life in spiritual community.
>Sidi Shaykh Muhammad Said al-Jamal ar-Rifa'i ash-Shadhuli<
The guide, who shows you the way, is your brother. You cannot see the way if you do not know what you feel or what you are when you follow. You are the way of the truth. To walk in the way if very difficult because you meet with darkness and many troubles.
You need to have the guide to help you and to take your hand.
If you do not follow the guide who know the way well, you will not know.
How can you reach God if you do not follow the person who has reached God?
He has walked the way before you, and has reached the highest station. He knows how to walk, and how to cut through difficulties and troubles.
He knows what is good and what is bad and the right and wrong ways of this world."
