SUFISM IN ISLAM
Sufism is not wearing a robe that you patch
And it's not the shedding of tears when the singers sing
It's not crying out, nor dancing, nor musical entertainment
And it's not swooning as if you had become possessed
Sufism is rather your serenity, without distress
And following the truth of the Qur'an and the religion.
Sufism is not all about charming (Sihr)
And it's not treating to be searching for better way
Sufism is not a room for ranking yourself in order for people to know your post (qeemah)
But Sufism is all about remembering Allah
And is a straight connection to God (Allah)
Sufism is not all about praising your mentor (Sheikh) and neglecting other’s people’s mentors, Sufism teaches us to praise our Sheikhs and regard other’s people’s sheikhs.
It’s not part of Sufism to be neglecting and turning Islamic law (Sari’ah) upside down, Sufism teaches us to give a full regard to Sari’ah and follow Kitaab and Sunnah.
Imaam Maalik said in one of his quotes: "If someone practices Sufism (Tasawwuf) without acquiring knowledge of the law (Fiqh), he has become an infidel (Zindiq), while he who practices the law without acquiring knowledge of Sufism has become a debauched degenerate (fãsiq). He who combines the two is on the truth."
The above quote of Imaam Mãlik teaches us that Sufism is an ocean of Islamic knowledge and you can only understand the whole concept of Shari'ah (Islam) by having full knowledge of Sufism... May Almighty Allah guide everyone of us to the right path and may him enrich us to be the part of those Sãbiquun Bihimmati Aoliyahillah Aaamin thumma Aaamin
