Hidden Egyptian symbolism of African Sufism

Last week I posted a pic of two Murids  from As Samaniya Tariqa in Sudan giving traditional Sufi greeting these brothers had leopard skin on their Jalabiyya. When I first look at their pic I thought to myself I had seen this some where else before when looking at them.

Upon looking Into this we find that the sem Preist of ancient kemet wore leopard skins as a sign of their office and a symbol of power to dispell evil associated with death and to open the mouth of the initiate.

Now it has been reported by mustafa gadalla that possibly there are links of Sufism beginnings not starting in Persia But with the quite people of baladi, Egypt.

Let let’s point out the obvious so we can unravel the Batin Sirr Ilm. The 1st attribute of Allah is Al Rahman and the 2nd is Al Rahiym within these words we here the sound Ra! Which is the letter  in Arabic. The letter R which is Ra in Arabic in symbology is linked to Ra – the first of the cosmic forces called Neteru which number 99 names in Number. The Arabic letter B is pronounced Ba and Ba in Medu Neter language of the Egyptians is the soul of a Person linked to the Ka – spirit of a person. How interesting that we Muslims make hajj to mecca circling the Kaaba? Also Tehuti name contains part of the Mysitcal tone Hu which is Allahs 100th name Hu and Sufi mystics chant Or zikir various zikirs with the name Hu or Huwa.  When we say Alla-Hu-Akbar we invoke Hu. In Pert em Heru – the book of coming forth by day translated By: Sebai Dr. Muata Ashby

Hu is the God of taste and senses who was said to assist Ra on his Manjet.

The 76th attribute of Allah is Al Batin – the hidden.  Amun or Amen of Egypt means the hidden at the end of our prayers we say Ameen.

In closing in my opinion there is a link to Tasawaf and ancient African spirituality of kemet, Egypt however some Shaykhs of other tariqat may disagree I suggest do your own research.

Ameen
