Mohammed Al-Wadih, President of Faidh Culture Forum, and Sheikh Farhan Al-Saadi, advisor in RCD.

The seminar was opened by Dr. Nazlah Al-Jubouri explaining the role of Sufism in keeping social cohesion and its maintenance of  social and moral values, stressed the difference in Sufi references in terms of identity, principles and goals, but it is the same as spiritual purity and tolerance for others since the Sufism is an attractive social position for harmony and acceptance of diversity and difference.

The rest of the theses of the lecturers agreed on the importance of Sufism in protecting human being, and its contribution in the removal of fanaticism and tension and the refinement of the religious and sectarian experience, stressing that Sufism is a spiritual experience that lives and sprouts in the conscience of man and not his mind,  its rules are not subject to the rules of reason and its principles, so that is what makes it important for the peaceful coexistence that the world needs it all today.

This has overlapped the questions of those attendees to remove the confusion about some things to come out with a final outcome that would be an important reference to the Sufi experience, which will be a positive reflection on social and political life.
