SUFISM: ITS ORIGINS

SUFISM: ITS ORIGINS

Courtesy: Al-Haramain Foundation

The word Sufi is most likely to be derived from the Arabic word "soof", meaning wool. This is because of the Sufi habit of wearing woolen coats, a designation of their initiation into the Sufi order. The early Sufi orders considered the wearing of this coat as an imitation of Isa bin Maryam (Jesus). In reply to this, Ibn Taymiyyah said: "There are a people who have chosen and preferred the wearing of woolen clothes, claiming that they want to resemble al-Maseeh ibn Maryam. But the way of our Prophet is more beloved to us, and the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam.s) used to wear cotton and other garments."1

I have noticed recently that there is an increase of sectarianism and speaking ill of the ulema. This will not be tolerated on this forum. By all means discuss issues of Aqaid with respect and in light of Quran n Sunnah by i dont see that at the moment. Its simply cussing scholars and ridiculing others beliefs.

Its no coincidence that since a certain new member has joined we have had these sectarian and tit for tat posts on issues which only the Ulema really should be discussing.

This is a reminder; if it is not taken seriously then I will take action.

Jazakhallah

Repeating the name of Allaah on its own, or the pronoun “Huwa” (He), is a Sufi bid’ah

Repeating the name of Allaah on its own, or the pronoun “Huwa” (He), is a Sufi bid’ah

Praise be to Allaah.

There is no doubt that it is bid’ah to mention the name of Allaah on its own or –even worse – to repeat the pronoun “Huwa” (“He”). Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

Muhammad SAW created from clay not light

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has been described as being light from the light of Allaah. If what is meant by this is that he himself is from the light of Allaah, then this goes against the Qur’aan, which refers to his being human. If what is meant is that he is light in the sense that he brought the Revelation by which whoever Allah wills of His creation is guided, then this is correct. The committee has issued a fatwa concerning this matter, as follows:
