A Sanctuary for Your Heart in Alberta
When your heart feels heavy and you long for peace, there is a path back to light.
At Sufi Soul Garden in Edmonton, we offer spiritual healing and sacred practices, including Ruqyah (Qur’anic healing) and Prophetic Medicine, that gently restore balance, peace, and your connection with Divine love. Rooted in the Sufi tradition, our work creates a sanctuary for transformation of the body, mind, and soul.
How This Garden Grew
Sufi Soul Garden was created as a sanctuary for spiritual healing in Edmonton for all faith traditions rooted in the Oneness of God. In honouring the diverse spiritual traditions of this land, we acknowledge the Indigenous peoples and territories that have long been places of healing and ceremony.
Our work is inspired by the Sufi path, where the heart is purified and opened to Divine light. From this living tradition, we offer sessions that help people release inner burdens, find peace, and reconnect with God in a deeply personal way.
Our healing work combines Sufi practices, such as Prophetic medicine, remembrance, and prayer. Together, they create a holistic approach that addresses not only the body, but also the heart and soul.
Sufi Soul Garden welcomes seekers from all walks of life. Whether you are a seeker, someone seeking spiritual clarity, or renewing your faith, our healing sessions provide a safe space for transformation. Many of our clients come with heavy hearts and leave with a renewed sense of peace, lightness, and connection.

Our Mission
Our mission is to guide hearts back to peace. We use the specific, powerful tools of the Sufi and Prophetic traditions, practices like spiritual healing, Ruqyah (sacred clearing with Quranic recitation), and herbal remedies, to address universal human experiences of pain, disconnection, and longing for the Divine. Each session is an invitation to release what weighs you down, restore balance, and reconnect with the love and mercy that already surrounds you.

Our Vision
We envision a world where every person, regardless of their faith tradition, has access to a sanctuary where their heart can rest, heal, and remember its divine nature. Rooted in the wisdom of Sufism (the inner dimension of Islam), our vision is to create spaces where peace unfolds naturally through sacred presence, gentle practice, and connection with the Divine. Every heart deserves to return to its natural state of light, clarity, and love.
Spiritual Roots
Our healing work flows from a living tradition anchored in Divine remembrance and compassionate care. We are rooted in the Sufi path, where the heart is polished until it reflects Divine light and presence.
We are blessed to be guided by Dr. Ibrahim Jaffe, a physician, Sufi Master Healer, and spiritual guide. As a pioneer in integrating spiritual practice with modern medicine, he developed a method of spiritual healing that addresses the spiritual, emotional, psychological, and energetic roots of illness while supporting the body’s natural restoration.
Dr. Jaffe’s journey reflects the depth of this path. He explored many traditions of healing before immersing himself in Sufism under the guidance of Shaykh Sidi Muhammad al Jamal. Through years of devotion and service, he was recognized with the title Murshid Murrabi Ruhi, which means guide and caretaker of the soul, and entrusted to carry forward the teaching of Sufi spiritual healing throughout the world.
Through this living connection, our work at Sufi Soul Garden is anchored in authenticity. It is both deeply spiritual and profoundly relevant for our time, joining the wisdom of the Sufi way with the mercy and love of Divine presence.
"If the Muslims, Jews, Christians, and the people of any other religion knew their religion well, then there would be only one religion, the religion of love, peace, mercy, justice and freedom."

Who We Serve
This sanctuary is for anyone whose heart is searching for peace. If you feel heavy, disconnected, or spiritually unsettled, if you long for clarity, relief from grief, or simply to feel held by something greater, you belong here.
Many who come to us are navigating life transitions, spiritual awakening, or the weight of empathy and service. We warmly welcome seekers of Divine love (new to the spirituality, born into faith, or returning to practice), spiritual seekers from all traditions, and families seeking to create sacred space in their homes.
Through gentle spiritual healing practices, sacred clearing (Ruqyah), herbal remedies rooted in Prophetic Medicine (Tibb an-Nabawi), and contemplative retreat, each person is met exactly where they are. Every session is tailored to your unique journey, inviting light, release, and Divine remembrance in a way that feels safe, personal, and deeply nourishing.

No matter where you are on your path, this garden is a place to rest, to be held, and to return to the peace that is your birthright.
Why This Work Matters
True healing is not just relief from pain, it is the gentle return of your heart to its source. In the Sufi tradition (Tasawwuf), we understand that when the heart is polished through remembrance (Dhikr), prayer, and sacred intention, it becomes a mirror reflecting Divine love. From that place, peace, clarity, and wholeness naturally unfold.
This is why we do this work. Each session, whether it's spiritual healing, Ruqyah (Quranic clearing), or a retreat into silence and remembrance, is a sacred invitation. An opportunity to release what weighs you down, to feel held in Divine mercy, and to remember who you truly are beneath the struggle.
Our work matters because every person, regardless of their faith or background, deserves to feel seen, supported, and embraced by something greater than themselves. Healing is not just for the body or the mind, it is for the whole person, which impacts your lineage and community. When the heart is aligned with love, everything in life begins to shift toward peace.
