[quote]Thanks Usmani790 for guiding us through the journey of tasawaff.

You said that
"but when involvement in this-worldly things became widespread from the second Islamic century onwards and people became absorbed in worldliness, those devoted to worship came to be called Sufiyya or People of Tasawwuf ".

What I conclude from this statement that:
a) Devotion to worship is what makes a sufi or is the basis of tasawaff.
b) Those devoted to worship were called Suffiya or people of Tasawuf lead me to believe that at that time the philosophy of tasawaff existsed and it was so obvious that one was able to distinguish between normal people/Muslims and sufis.
c) Whats so special to devotion to worship that makes a person/Muslim  a sufi? If this is what Islam teaches as well why call it tasawuff? This is utter confusion then.

If you believe that there is no difference between Islam and Tasawaff then I won’t go for the word tasawaff. There is definitely something which makes tasawaff “TASAWAFF”. I want to know that and I guess is the only way to go on with this debate.[/quote]
