Masjidu Nuur is the Center of Moderate Muslim Community or known as Ahlu Sunna wal Jama'a (Sufism) of greater Kansas City, we promote understanding of Islam and Muslim by introducing Islamic scholarship known a direct chain of teachers back to the Islamic prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The part of Islamic teaching that deals with the purification of the inner self. By focusing on the more spiritual aspects of religion. We promote methods of interpretation that prevent superficiality and extreme literalism in understanding Islamic texts and traditions. To the moderate Muslim (Sufism) it is the transmission of divine light from the teacher's heart to the heart of the student, rather than worldly knowledge, that allows the adept to progress. Sufi orders largely follow one of the four madhabs (jurisprudent schools of thought) of Sunni Islam and maintain a Sunni aqidah.
