Hey man even I knew all that, and thats saying something cos I dont really now much on these issues lol....

You probably should have just not mentioned sufis in your post lol they werent relevant anyway.

Actually the post does explain to you what it is, it does mention soofis but it also answers your question

but ok here is something else

http://www.the*******myth.com/

have you ever seen the thread on ******s (<-- thats the W word.. it got censored for some reason) in the sects n divisions section? might help inshaallah:
http://www.islamicboard.com/sects-di...lafi-path.html

Yes, you are right, everyone will answer to Allah for their Aqeedah, but realize that some of the groups you mentioned deviated so bad, it would be considered kufr, obviously Allah knows best concerning how they will end up, As far as Abdul Wahhab, if you would at least check out that W@hhabi myth site you would know that W@hh@bi isn't the correct term either, and Abdul W@hh@b isn't exactly relevant to Salafism as a whole either...

but I found this for you either way despite your ignorance:

*******sm, on the other hand, is an Islamic movement that was named after Imam Muhammad Ibn `Abdul-Wahhab of the 19th century. Imam Ibn `Abdul-Wahhab led a reform movement in Arabia in order to retain the pure and original form of Islam and to purify it from all the innovations that the Sufis of Arabia were committing at that time. Imam `Abdul-Wahhab followed the Hanbali school of thought (madhhab), especially the opinions of Imam Ibn Taymiyah. The ******* movement (now generally called the Salafi movement) did contribute to Islam by removing a lot of mischief from the land of Arabia and, eventually, uniting it under the House of Saud, who were students of Imam Ibn `Abdul-Wahhab.

Some people mean by *******sm/Salafism, extremism and roughness in dealing with people. But this is not necessarily true. Many Salafis are very pious and kind, while other Salafis are extreme and rough.

*******s prefer to take the most cautious opinions about banning any shape or form of worship that was not literally attributed to the Prophet (peace be upon him). For example, when Sufis sit in circles and mention the name of Allah as a group or read the Qur’an as a group, *******s judge that these acts are sinful. These kinds of issues are actually areas of difference in opinions among scholars, and Muslims ought to tolerate each other when it comes to these issues.

Finally, let us judge the actions and not the labels and names.

Hope this is helpful. Thank you and please keep in touch.

Wa-salamu `alaykum.

Barakallah feek.

So in other words, what i have posted in my Original post is not correct?

So a) the Salafi Brother who i have quoted has Lied to me, OR alot of salafis are Ignorant of the truth.

Which is it?

By the time i am through with you, i will be asking myself the same question.

*Sigh* Allah swt, have mercy on me, save me from this mind boggling Rhode Islander

Ehhh...go herd some sheep New Zealander, but anyway I gave you that site as far as whatever that person told you, most scholars, Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Katheer etc. have condemned sufism, that's what you have to realize, Sufi wasn't even a word known until much later in Islamic history, what you have to realize is that Salafi's abide by what the Prophet said, the way of him , his companions, their successors (Tabi'in) and the generation after that (salaf)



lol, you're thru with me, still on the sanity thing, huh? Just after you thanked me for that article?

As far as sufism, I know sites like allaahuakbar.net are harsh, but you cal look at a more moderate view on it over here:

islamonline has some very good articles on it as well. Check it Out!

Are u a soofi brother? As far as what Ibn Kathir said, I'm not sure where I read it and I apologize if I offended u in anyway either

lol @ zubair bro

whenever Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab names is mentioned, its either followed by a deviant or a great sheikh and opposer of bidah

now wot someone has to analyse is what is considered bidah in his eyes, correct moi if im wrong, didnt wahhab play a large role in makin the graves of jannah tul baqi flattened? because people used to go there and do shirk? and he played some sort of part in makin the graves get flattened?

also lol people shouldnt use the term ******* as in surah al hujuraat we are told not to use nicknames, and wahhab is 1 of the 99 names of Allah (swt) so to like make a nickname out of it is baaaaad

and and and lol if someone has knowlegde and is considered a scholar by other scholars, then we should respect them as it says in surah al zumar

"Are those who know equal to those who know not?'''
