The Importance of Sufism in Music

Dimitri and Khalid are joined by old friend Tom (@MuslimTom_) from the You Can’t Win podcast to discuss the legacy of Sufi Sheikh Abdalqadir As-Sufi (née Ian Dallas), a Scottish convert to Islam who quested to build an Islamic alternative to the shaytanic, usurious system of finance capital in the late 20th century. In Part One, we cover the Sheikh’s notable role in the swinging sixties counterculture of London, converting to Islam on a mystical trip to Morocco, forming the Murabitun order, converting musicians Richard and Linda Thompson, his curious takes on Hitler being “the one true mujahid of the 20th century”, the “Gay Science” of his famous forebearer E.S. Dallas, the pitfalls of the White Convert, Islamic discourses around usury, finance capital, and fiat currency, the Sharia-compliant “e-dinar” of the late 1990s, and more.
