Ahmad Rafique Akhtar is a Sufi phenomenon in our time.You can have religious scholars ,Rumi's poetry lovers,saint's shrines crowded with the followers but it is extremely rare that someone in twenty first century had this genuine hunger to know God,to understand His message and than decided to live a SUFI LIFE.His approach towards Islam is not of a blind faith only but faith convinced of the TRUTH of ONE NESS OF ALLAH> He has approached Quran first as an intellectual and than as a word of God and thirdly as a scholar.His approach towards Islam is from a man towards God. His world is not a world of Mullah but try to be one with your Creator,try to know Him,Try to love Him and try to approach Him. That is what is so beautiful about him,the message ,the book "QURAN" the love,"ALLAH" is UNIVERSAL. His style is SO ORIENTAL,it is so Deep Rooted,it is so ethnic and Authentic. If anybody wants to know SUFISM and wants to meet a real sufi in twenty first century,PROFESSOR AHMED RAFIQUE IS THE one.
