just registered today seems like a good forum here. I'm a sis of somali origin from yorkshire Im unsure about certain things for eg admins and others honour the great sufis(may Allah be pleased with them) and somewhere else the admins also say sufism is shirk?? so im kinda confused about that..:?
However sufism in itself is fine but then like with every group u get some deviants who follow misguided scholars etc, Some stuff sufis do is bidah, like the dancing n some of the dhikrs they do as it has no evidence from quran or sunnah.
thank you all you reply jazakhAllah kulla khair..i'm not sufi since i believe as Imam Malik (ra) said
"whoever studies Jurisprudence [tafaqaha] and didn't study Sufism [tasawwafa] will be corrupted; and whoever studied Sufism and didn't study Jurisprudence will become a heretic; and whoever combined both will be reach the Truth." [the scholar 'Ali al-Adawi , vol. 2, p 195.]
So first id like to learn fiqh inshaAllah because theres a danger of you becoming a deviant if u dont follow fiqh and sharia properly.Many other scholars also said many positive things about tassawuf like Ibn taimiyyah, Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab, in addition to classical scholars like Imam As Shafei, Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Ahmad ibn hanbal, Jalaluddin as-Suyuti, Tajuddin as-Subki,Ibn Khaldun, Imam Nawawi (May Allh be pleased with them all) you can go to this article to see their sayings about Tassawuf http://www.therevival.co.uk/articles/tasawwuf.php What I've noticed is that for example the admins honouring shaykh abdal qadir al gilani and on the other hand ive seen the same admins(strangely)say negative things about tassawuf.?
Sis Nafeesa nice to see you i know you from sunniforum(one of the best forums on the net):statisfie.You can pm me if u want dont like to get into details on here. right i think im done for the day...see you all tomorrow inshaAllah
