How Are Sufis Different From Sunnis? - By Sulayman Nyang

[rafiq786uk]

In the Indian Subcontinent, the Sufi Retreat is often known as, Khankah.

Ghawth al-`Alam Khawaja Baha'uddin Zakariya Multani [as-Suhrawaradi] (radiyallahu `anhu) opened khankahs in Kashmir where people spent time in dhikr and fikr (khalwa), studied fiqh and masa'il and also trained on horses for battle.

His era saw some of the greatest authorities, sufiya and awliya in the Sub-Continent, such as Fariduddin Ganj Shakar and Qutbuddin Bakhtiyar who was offered the title of Shaykh ul Islam.

in my country instead of zawiya the say mowla'

[syedhasan1964]

In verse 55 of chapter 40 of the Qur'an, God says: " ... glorify and praise your Lord night and day ".

[reerrify]

@syedhasan1964 yeah, our whole point in living is about ebadah.. praising Allah.. doesn't matter if your sunni, sufi, shia' or anything

[syedhasan1964]

@reerrify

Indeed, brother. In verse 62 of chapter 2 of the Qur'an, God says: " Surely, those who believe, the Jews, the Christians, the Sabiens, anyone who believes in God and believes in the hereafter and leads a righteous life, will receive their reward from their Lord, they have nothing to fear, they will not grieve". It is only Shaytan's prophets who try to create division among the Muslim ummah. They may claim to be Muslims, but they do Shaytan's bidding.

By celebrating the mawlid, engaging in mystical rituals that have no basis in the Quran & sunnah and committing various acts of shirk Sufis are claiming either:

A. They are better guided than the prophet sws.

B. They are accusing the prophet sws of betrayal and treachery by not conveying those parts of the deen.

C. Undermining the clear ayat in Quran re Islam being complete.

[syedhasan1964]

@darklight254

Regarding A, what do the Sufis do that the Prophet himself did not do?

Regarding B, which parts of the Deen the Sufis practice that the Prophet did not convey?

Regarding C, according to Qur'an, being mindful of God is part of the Deen. Remembering and praising God is encouraged in the Qur'an. Show me a verse of the Qur'an where God told us not to remember and praise him? Do not work as Shaytan's prophet !!!

[syedhasan1964]

@darklight254

Mawlid is a day when muslims remember and pray for their Prophet. How is it against the Qur'an when God himself has filled the Qur'an with stories of different Prophets because God wants us to learn from the examples of those Prophets? It is not wrong to pray for our Prophet because in verse 59 of chapter 27 of the Qur'an, God says: " ... Say, ... peace be upon His servants whom He chose". Don't be Shaytan's prophet !!!

[syedhasan1964]

@darklight254

What acts of shirk the Sufis are committing? Don't spread lies about people who devote their lives in remembering and praising God. Don't be Shaytan's prophet !!!

[syedhasan1964]

@darklight254

Remembering and praising God is not a mystical ritual that has no basis in the Qur'an, because in verse 130 of chapter 20, God says that: " ... praise and glorify your Lord before sunrise and before sunset, and during the night glorify Him, as well as at both ends of the day ... ". Don't be Shaytan's prophet !!!

@syedhasan1964

anybody who says mysticism is not apart of islam is blind confused and spiritually depleted. The sahaba would not hear or feel anything outside of their salat. Their character and lifestyle resembled more that of the sufis than the salafis. Salafis just claim they have this big beard so they are the salaf's representatives. But their hearts are filled with kibr. they believe they are better than everybody.

overtime...

or should I say innovation.

[sightsandsoundsofpak]

@birchissaud

extremist!!!

[birchissaud]

@sightsandsoundsofpak

lol

[syedhasan1964]

@birchissaud

Why is it innovation? If you don't give a good answer, then you are no different than Shaytan himself !!!

[birchissaud]

@syedhasan1964

how about your dances for the prophet?

when did the companions ever do that?

[syedhasan1964]

@birchissaud

Regarding your statement: "how about your dances for the prophet?", how do you know I ever danced for the prophet? What a liar you are !!! You no different than Shaytan who lies like you do.
