Khanqah vs. NGOs: What’s the Difference? /Sahibzada Omer Farooq Gulbadshah

Описание: Service is central to both khanqahs and NGOs, but are they driven by the same philosophy? One operates through policy and systems; the other through spiritual transformation. Where do they converge, and where do they part ways? Find out in this episode of Safar-e-Maʿrifat.
خدمت خانقاہوں اور جدید NGOs دونوں کا بنیادی جزو ہے — مگر کیا ان کی فکر اور فلسفہ ایک جیسا ہے؟ ایک نظام، پالیسی اور ڈھانچے کے تحت کام کرتی ہے، جبکہ دوسری روحانی اصلاح اور باطنی تربیت کو بنیاد بناتی ہے۔ یہ دونوں کہاں ایک دوسرے سے ملتی ہیں، اور کہاں جدا ہو جاتی ہیں؟ جانیے Safar-e-Maʿrifat کے اس ایپی سوڈ میں۔
For centuries, Sufis walked a path where khidmat (service) was not optional, it was the
core of spirituality.
Yet today, tasawwuf is often reduced to rituals, stereotypes, or personal enlightenment.
In this powerful first episode, we ask the questions most people avoid:
• Is worship complete without serving people?
• Can you claim closeness to Allah while ignoring His creation?
• Has modern spirituality lost its social responsibility?
Joined by Pir Mujtaba Gul Badshah Sahib and Sahibzada Omar Farooq Sahib, this
conversation dives deep into:
• The real meaning of Sufism beyond myths
• Why khidmat is the bridge between Khaliq and makhlooq
• How khanqahs once shaped societies — not just souls
• Why youth today need service more than slogans
• How Helping First Welfare is reviving khidmat as lived tasawwuf
This is not a lecture.
This is a wake-up call.
If you believe spirituality should heal society, not escape it , this episode is for you.
Tasawwuf is not about becoming better than others…
It’s about becoming better for others.
