Khamr Elsaliheen – Coffee That Intoxicates the Soul and Awakens the Mind

Since its emergence, coffee has been intertwined with the spirit of Sufism and contemplation. Sufis would drink it during gatherings of remembrance and late-night worship, earning it the title “The Wine of the Righteous.” It granted them mental clarity and spiritual serenity without clouding the mind like intoxicants.

In ancient literature, coffee was said to carry the same uplifting warmth as wine, spreading joy and comfort. Yet, it remained a lawful drink, accompanying the righteous through long nights and bringing loved ones together in gatherings filled with wisdom and conversation.

Thus, this name became a symbol of coffee’s ability to intoxicate the soul with its rich flavors, without dulling the mind—forever a cherished part of Eastern heritage, steeped in authenticity and warmth.
