About Sufism and Sufis

Sufism or tasawwuf, as it is called in Arabic, is generally understood by scholars and Sufis to be the inner, mystical, or psycho-spiritual dimension of Islam. Today, however, many Muslims and non-Muslims believe that Sufism is outside the sphere of Islam. Nevertheless, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, one of the foremost scholars of Islam, in his article The Interior Life in Islam contends that Sufism is simply the name for the inner or esoteric dimension of Islam.

After nearly 30 years of the study of Sufism, I would say that in spite of its many variations and voluminous expressions, the essence of Sufi practice is quite simple. It is that the Sufi surrenders to God, in love, over and over; which involves embracing with love at each moment the content of one's consciousness (one's perceptions, thoughts, and feelings, as well as one's sense of self) as gifts of God or, more precisely, as manifestations of God.

Kareena kapoor to take Saif ali khan on a romantic holiday

Workaholic Kareena Kapoor has been shooting restlessly for couple of months. In relation to her upcoming flicks like 'Kambakht Ishq,' '3 Idiots' and 'Main Aur Mrs. Khanna,' the actress has been traveling around the world and getting no time for family and friends especially for beau Saif Ali Khan. The same is the case for Saiffu dear; he too is shooting non-stop for his home production with Deepika Padukone. After work, Bebo desires to take a short break which will start from Christmas to New Year.

We came to know that Bebo has stored surprises for beau. She is planning a lonely New Year celebration with Saif in Switzerland. Bebo is quite excited about the idea of spending time with Saif in the cold winters of the Alps.

She is eagerly looking forward for that romantic date and we too are looking forward for some exciting piece of news from their end.

Amitabh Bachchan & Shahrukh Khan Cameo In Kal Kisne Dekha:Latest News

Amitabh Bachchan & Shahrukh Khan Cameo In Upcoming New Movie: Kal Kisne Dekha.
Top Bollywood stars and arch rivals Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan will soon be seen sharing screen space in the upcoming flick Kal Kisne Dekha. It is perhaps after Karan Johar's Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham in 2001 that the two Bollywood Czars will be seen together again. The credit for bringing them together goes to director Vivek Sharma.



Interestingly, there will be 13 more people in cameo roles in Sharma's Kal Kisne Dekha for that extra spice and razzmatazz. Among these include Juhi Chawla and Rishi Kapoor. The lead actors are new - producer Vashu Bhagnani’s son Jackie Bhagnani and Manmohan Desai’s granddaughter Vaishali Desai.



The motive behind so many special appearances in this film is quite apparent - to entice the fan followings of each to see the film. Film Om Shanti Om too featured one such song with many Bollywood actors and it turned out to be a hit. The plot to use Big B and King Khan therefore too should turn out to be lucrative. Distributor Big Pictures sure has some big actors involved!

Una exclusiva mirada al nuevo corte de pelo de Shahrukh Khan para My name is Khan ¡¡¡
Chuletas fuera de su larga cerradura de Karan Johar de My name is Khan

Shah Rukh Khan ha picado fuera de su larga melena. Este “atajo” es de Karan Johar de My name is Khan. Este es el más corto q srk ha usado en su cabello.



Segunda fase de buscar

Peluquería Dilshad es responsable del nuevo corte de Shahrukh. Se cree que el actor ajustará su pelo más corto después de unos pocos días. Casi como unacorte de equipo. Según una fuente, “Su corte de pelo se hizo en tres etapas, él se está divirtiendo con la miranda de la segunda , y cortará más corto su pelo en algunos días”.

En My name is khan, Shah Rukh desempeña un personaje llamado Rizwan Khan, quien sufre de Síndrome de Asperger, una forma relativamente leve de autismo.

“Desactivado” para disparar

La primera mitad de la película se basa en una historia real que sucedió a una pareja y Karan Johar ha comprado los derechos de la historia de la pareja. Shah Rukh se irá a Los Angeles en la segunda semana de diciembre. La película también será disparada en Nueva York en el próximo calendario.

Retorno de los Jodi

La película trae SRK y kajol juntos. Kajol y Shah Rukh Khan hasta la fecha han protagonizado juntos en las siguientes películas, todas las cuales resultaron ser éxitos Baazigar (1993), Karan Arjun (1995), Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (1995), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) y Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001).

Mr & Mrs Karan Johar Movie wallpapers: First Look





















Mr. & Mrs. Karan Johar Synopsis and Posters (Photos)
Star Cast : Aman Verma, Delnaz Paul, Nigaar Khan, Kiku, Feroz, Mevawala, Badrul & Richa Singh

Mr. & Mrs. Karan Johar are happily married but somehow Mrs. Johar always doubts her husband’s fidelity. A breaking point is reached when one night Karan does not turn up home at all and reaches home in the wee hours of the morning. To add fuel to the fire Khushbu finds a diamond necklace in Karan’s coat pocket. Karan’s savior (or he thinks) is his next-door neighbour Harry, who at every step in the interrogation, lands Karan exasperated: till karan finds himself being hurled from the frying pan into the fire.

To make things worse Chandani of Chandani Bar comes on the scene to take back her diamond necklace but by this time, Khushbu has already left Karan & has gone to her mother’s home with the necklace in her possession.

Chandani tries to explain Karan that this necklace is not hers but belongs to “sharp shooter” Shetty who had loaned it to her for that particular outing.

Bang! Starts a cat and mouse race, first to find the necklace second to make Khushbu realize the necklace is not hers. Last but not the least to hoodwink the insurance company surveyor that Karan was badly hurt in the bus accident, so one lie after another which leaves Karan helpless.

And submitting our blogs on major blog directories is the first or basic step in this direction. Today, there are thousands of blog directories available where we can submit our blogs and many more directories are created everyday.

So submitting our blog to hundreds or thousands of such directories will be really time consuming and tedious task.

Best of the Web blog directory - was originally started in 1994 by Brandon Plewe when he was a student at the State University of New York. And he recently launched the ‘Best of the web blog directory’.
