[quote]One can be a good muslim following Quran and sunnah and a sufi at the same time.The earlier sufis have only one thing unique which may or may not be objectionable i.e. they used to do 'ghulu'[exaggaration]in 'zahd'[piousness].
you are supposed to fast during Ramadhan month as obligation but if someone in order to kill[or tame]his soul[nafs]by fasting most of the days throughout the year,it may be called exaggaration.It may not bad until this practice is limited to his ownself only.

Sufi's preached Islam in most practical manner.They sometimes may adopt ways which may be called 'unislamic'but not 'anti islamic'.Like if you go to a place of non believers and start preaching in chaste urdu or in your mother toungue,few will take heed to it.But if translate beautiful teachings of Islam into folk language and in the form of local songs,u can reach to many very easily.
More to it they werent just sufis but at the same time serve as 'tabeebs',their hut was a sheleter for all,it could be a school for many and a dining system for all.
The problem occured only when the sufi died in the middle and the remaining among his disciples was nothing but just his grave.People who loved him alive started loving his remains and so the rest story is with us.

If we want to taste a sufi experience;we should try to go somewhere in the dense forests of places like arunachal pradesh,assam or desert like thar.Sit with the people there and think how and why muslims are found here.You'd get the answer.Dont hate them  or bash people around you. Just think that they have been educated to Islam to a certain level and now its our duty to bring them more closer to Islam;as per our capacity.[/quote]
