Assalamualiakum, The present world is overrun by consumerism. Consumerist mentality has pervaded all facets of life and has become call of the day. Even religion is not free from consumerism. People are trying to quantify God's blessing in return of rituals performed. And putting religion on a cause and effect mechanical basis. This is diverting human attention from meekness and humble beseeching of His grace and Mercy. On the other hand, Sufism is being perverted and made corrupt by fakes and self-seekers. People are flocking to 'Peers/Sheikhs/Spiritual leaders' for mundane benefit and relief, and this is being encouraged. In this way as well, Sufism succumbs to consumerist mentality. In the nineteenth century there was a strong backlash to Sufism in the Arabian peninsula and the world at large. This was in the name of reformism. But in the long run these reformist movements have managed to distort the very spirit of Islam. So-called Islamic politics is being guided by and large to fulfill self-interests and sectarian ideologies. On many instances these politicians have taken up armed conflict as a method, bringing in immeasurable suffering to human being instead of peace and elevation of the level of human consciousness. In this chaotic
background of the present, it has been felt that Islam should be brought
back to its proper perspective. Suffering, subjugation and injustice
should be replaced with preaching of peace, harmony and tranquility and
ultimately elevating the level of human consciousness. This is a sure way
for the saving of the planet Earth from man-made destruction. PRESENT STATE OF THE CENTER This center at present is at a very early stage, 1.31 acre of land has been procured in an area far from townships. The intention is to take away the pupils from the hue and cry of cities and of daily mundane life, to surrounding of nature and tranquility. It is intended, with the will of God to expand the area by procuring adjacent lands. Planned plantation is being made to beautify the area. FUTURE PLANS With the will of God and blessing of His Prophet (sallallahu alihe wasallam) the center envisages a dormitory for 30 persons, a library, a prayer room, a seminar room and other services. Energy will be obtained from solar energy and internet facilities will be developed. There will be a publication section and a translation section for providing Bengali speaking people with current and classical Sufi literature. This center will arrange lectures and seminars at the center and elsewhere in the country. Facilities will be provided at the center for performing seclusion.
