[quote][font=Century Gothic][b][quote]Dear Salman People here openly interpreting Islam agaist the Quran and Sunnah they just keep quite and never argue with them rather support them.[/quote][size=2]Any proof for your reckless statement quoted above? Ok, to whichever Sufi Sect you belong, you do have some things in common which have caused sufficient damage to the Ummah. 1. The Sheikh is given the standing of a deity in Sufism as that of a Catholic Saint, or the Dalai Lama himself. (Complete obedience is enforced on his followers, and any questions are deemed as a betrayal of trust: "The seeker must submit to the will of the Sheikh and to obey him in all his orders and advice, because the Sheikh has more experience and more knowledge in Haqiqat, in Tariqat and in Shari'ah," and "he must agree with the opinion of his Sheikh completely, as the patient agrees with the physician".) 2. Attributes which belong to Allah, are also assigned to their Sheikhs. 3. They seek help from them, whether they are dead or 10,000km away. 4. They believe that their sheikhs know everything their students are thinking, and that they converse with the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) on a regular basis (in reality). 5. Ta'weel, or changing the apparent meaning of a verse or hadith to a secret inner one which only a certified Sheikh could explain! (Since the Qur'an and Hadith are readily available, and cannot be changed, the Sufis have resorted to this trick) 6. The act of making Zikr in circles and jumping/moving frantically. (Zikr in the true Arabic sense means "Remembrance of Allah." The Prophet's (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) method, which Muslims agree to be the best and only acceptable one, of zikr consisted in reciting Qur'an, discussing religion with his companions, and making Tasbeeh on his hands.) 7. They also rely on providing the mass with forged hadith, such as the one stating the beseeching of Adam (alaihi salaam) in the name of Muhammad when he sinned; the stories of Khidr; the rising of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) from his grave so a person could kiss his hand and so on. 8. Another smart tactic is to attribute forged sayings in support of the Sufi's from the righteous scholars. (For example, Ibn Taymiyyah is attributed to have been a member of the Qadiri order and had been initiated, and spoken great words on Bistami and his likes. Yet Ibn Taymiyyah spent the majority of his life fighting against the teachings of Sufism, was imprisoned because of them, and bluntly stated "...Ibn Arabi who wrote "Al-Fousous," and other slandering atheists such as Ibn Sab'een and his like. They even witness that they are simultaneously the worshipers and the ones being worshiped." )[/size=2][/b][/font=Century Gothic][/quote]
