Re: Any sufi gathering?
Many of the ‘Sufi’ mehfils in England are totally opposite to the one’s you are wishing to come across. Places like Blackburn, Birmingham, Peterborough, Bradford, Leeds etc are full of the Naqshaband, Chisti & Qadri tareeqa; they tend to do (OR did when I used to attend) actual zikar of Allah and not turn the atmosphere into a rave!
Yes, I am from Naqshabandi-Chisti background in terms of practice. Members of my family are ba'at in both Tareeqahs.
