Persian carpet
Hi, any chance of expanding the very short lead here? Then I can adapt that for User:Johnbod/Persian art, which I am building up to fill a major gap. Cheers, Johnbod (talk) 19:35, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Johnbod, great new draft article. Please have a look at Persian carpet now. HajjiBaba (talk) 08:10, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Many thanks! I will start by copying most of the new lead to the draft (which is going rather slowly). So far I've written very little of it - it's mainly leads etc copied from individual existing articles. Johnbod (talk) 15:24, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

You've never been "officially" welcomed here, and that's a crying shame. Really nice work incorporating those references, you (being much more familiar with the topic than I am) did a significantly better job than I could have. All the best, 78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 18:36, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh my, thank you. I enjoy this kind of collaborative effort, and was very happy about the literature you've provided.--HajjiBaba (talk) 18:40, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Sufism in Ulama
Hello HajjiBaba,

I saw one of your additions in Ulama regarding Islamic Mysticism which says that it was not a pure Islamic based belief but influenced by eastern Christianity monasticism and originated in Iraq and Syria and not in the Hejaz in Arabia. I would like to ask you how true is this and your thoughts about it, because I studied Islamic history and I still deeply confused about the origins of Sufism, since most of the recent sources I saw they use to reject the external influences and go to a pure Islamic based beliefs that originated almost at the time of Muhammad. We can find this statements in other pages of Wikipedia too...and Malik Abbas, the founder of the Maliki school of the traditions of the people of Medina, that was the adversary of the people of Iraq, was a great lover of Sufi practitioners...so I'm deeply confused and would like to have this more clear and you seems to be interested too in Islamic history.
