What is Tasawwuf (sufism)? | Mufti Abu Layth

what else is what are some of these questions what is to some whoof what is Tessa Ruth who is Tessa whose test I guess the person who's Tessa I don't know Tessa we've do you mean to some wolf well tell some wolf is simply the term for Sufism and what it means I mean you all know what Sufi orders are they like mystic kind of orders which revolve around spirituality but have their own

kind of folkloric superstitious structures to them that's what they are in essence but they they are based on the concept of mysticism strokes spiritualism that kind of that's what they are they don't actually have they're not actually from the karana so Knights not actually from authentic Islam the symbol for Sufism that said I don't think it's necessarily such it's not a problem with Islam I don't think there's such a you know if people want to do it I don't think it's a big

problem I don't think they need to be condemned or anything like this it's like I said it's it's like having a kind of a mishmash between mysticism and spiritualism so focusing on the spiritual but then with this strong element of mysticism in thee and then you kind of shroud that in a lot of cultural ritualistic folkloric kind of practices practices from folklore that are not really based on the Quran oh so

number so you get and then you end up that is pretty much so the orders you know you have a you have a a thirtieth car which has a share and then you pledge your allegiance you follow what the shape tells you and this you know and I'm sure there's a lot of Sufis who are great people there's many of my mache and shoe who are Sufis I respect them dearly and they they are great people some of them but some Sufi Thurrock do become like the rock is the plural of tariqa they do become very cultish so everything is about the share and the share these the

shares that share yeah yeah we're not worthy we're not with Chef is just rinsing it but one thing I do I won't lie I do find intriguing is how intelligent people intelligent men and women become so blind so blind in in some of these Sufi orders it beats me seriously I can't truly fathom that a

person of great intelligence becomes intellectually blinded it's like they just become like an automaton anything they share says is always that's quite amazing and always the sheriff and the sheriff's photos everywhere I don't know find that kind of stuff I won't lie I find it weird but I don't condemn Sufism per se I don't condemn it it's not from the Quran oh so now I'm being very clear but I don't condemn it and I think if it

helps people fine you know there's nothing [Music] somebody said Sufi is how beautiful - people have beautiful - this I'm sure this is beautiful man is with many people you know it doesn't it's it's not a generic thing that all Sufis must be you know I think there's good and bad everywhere
