@@shifeq9770 Salam Luqman. It is like mandhab. Hanafi, hanbali, maliki and shafii are all based on quran and sunnah, but are not mention in the quran. So are the tariqah : based on quran and sunnah. There is different school (mandhab) in fiqh, different school in theology (aqidah) and there is also different school (tariaqh) in "Ihsan". This is that simple. Some of the tariqah have a more "experimental" way of seeing things, and thus this might be problematic for some people of other school that are more literalist. Also the act of following a shaykh for spiritual guidance and taking bayaa (allegiance) is considered by the people of tariqah to be a sunnah, as the companion took bayaa to the Prophet saws. I don't mean to go into a debate and justification of the sufism and all its details, its right and wrong. Just be aware that the tariqah base their things on the quran and the sunnah, might you agree or not.
@@shifeq9770 brother as per my knowledge, the word Sufi is derived from the Ashab as Sufa (the people who were living or attached to the Suffah -a shelter behind the mosque of Muhammad saw-) it's root goes back to the time of the Prophet saw. Allah knows best.
JazakAllah Sheikh. Indeed the tasawuf is the best way to purify one's own self. True sufism doesn't clash with shariah rather it prepares one's heart to follow shariah.
Thank you very much Dr. Yasir. This is the best explanation I've ever got about Tassawwuf. However, you keep saying this is summary. We need a full lecture on this topic. Many aspect of Tassawwuf needs explanation. Spreading of white garment and sitting around it for zikr, doing zikr in congregation etc. May Allah preserve you for us. Allahuma Ameen
Thanks to the COVID, when i go out i can do dhikr all the time without attracting attention since my mouth moving won't be visible (because of the mask). I can do continuous dikr and my favorit sentence i repeat all the time is '' Ina Lillah wa Inna Lillahi raji3oun'' i hope this might inspire a brother or sister
@@harun5105 Yes! I do dhikr of these some times, but i still have a personal preferance for Ina lillah wa inna ilayhi raji3un, it reminds me that soon or later, i'll be reunited with my Creator, and that I belong to Him even if I am not with Him yet (although Subhanouhou is always with us) . Which is what gives me patience to go on in difficult times ❤️ May Allah forgive us and purify our intention and soul, ameen
Thanks Dr. Yasir on your efforts to search the truth. Love from Bangladesh. I believe this Hadith to be the core of Taswwuf and try to follow it: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “None of you have faith until I am more beloved to him than his children, his father, and all of the people.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 15, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 44 Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi (authenticity agreed upon) according to Al-Bukhari and Muslim
Barakallah Dr. Yasir Qadhi. I've come back to this lecture a few times. We definitely don't build our imaan based on attacking someone else based on such minor differences. The people that are good to be around with are those who focuses on getting closer to Allah SWT & Rasulullah saw without attacking others.
Great explanation devoid of bias. Thanks for clarifying. I'm from Damascus and I didn't know Sufism of nakshbandi had slight influnece there so I wanted to know what it is
@Orient Express Oh we all know Sheikh Al Bouti. Didn't think of him as a sufi growing up. Just as a muslim scholar. It was so sad to see him go, but I know he's in a better place now
@@TarekMidani Al Bouti was a sufi. Shaykh Ali Sabuni was a sufi. Shaykh Abdel Fattah Aboguddah was a sufi. Shaykh Muhammed Awwamah is a sufi. Alhamdulillah, Syria has given us some of the greatest Ahlus Sunnah scholars of the last century.
Jazakallah shaikh. Such a balanced approach Alhamdolillah. Respect for others despite disagreements; polite and educational approach. I pray for your long life and health. May Allah sw keep you under His protection and may He grant you the success in this duniya and in the akhira.
sheikh dr. yasir qadi, jazzak allah khairan for all your work and may Allah swt bless and reward you, amin. You are one of my fav and I really like to learn from your advices! May Allah swt always protect you and give you a long life, amin!
Love the Clarity and fluency, syeikh✨😍.. thank you, Alhamdulillah 🌷 and the gift is.. You understand it well you could have been a Sufi any day, but Allah allows you to communicate in the beta waves and still relate to commoners Muslims.. Amazing..🌹
80% + of the imams of ahlu sunnah are sufis one way or another, and that's not an exaggeration, even the conquerors like the great salahaden ayoubi and Mehmet the conqueror were all sufis
Mashallah, the Sheikh has grown so much. Before he was full 'Salafi' and now he himself dislikes the aggressiveness from the Salafi movement. Im Naqshbandi and we focus on spirituality and trying to have good character. We don't do dancing or any other weird stuff. Just Zikr of Allah st and staying on the straight path.
I am a hindu... i am so amazed to find that the sufi element of oness with god is so similar to our advaita school... I think sufism was inspired from hinduism in some way or the other because we knew these like many thousand years ago before even mohammed appeared on earth
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The Sheikh has a very fair understanding, spreads peace and good manners among Muslims. A true sufi follows the creed of ahlu sunna, the fiqh-schools, loves and honours every word of Quran and sunna. There is no union with Allah ﷻ, the destination of a sufi is exact what is written in the holy quran: love, nearness, mercy, forgiveness of Allah. There can be feelings and experiences of union, but there is no union between the ruh and Allah ﷻ according to the scholars and the greatest sufi-masters like Imam Rabbani or Sheikh Ahmad Rifai. A sufi needs very good aqida- knowledge, otherwise he will be confused by his experiences. Ma a salama Abul Abbas
Impressed to hear about the tariqah Sufism especially mentioning of the Qadiriyyah and Tijanniyah. I’m a Sunni Muslim and a follower of Qadiriyyah and come from a long line of Sunni sufis saints who were qadiriyyahs
Noor Mohamed Khan Noor Mohamed Khan 4 years ago Abu Dhar said, "I was with the Prophet (SAW) one day and I heard him saing: "There is something I fear for my Ummah than the Dajjal." It was then that I became afraid, so I said: " Oh Rasool Allah! Which thing is that?" He (SAW) said; "Misguided and astray scholars." Recorded in Musnad Imam Ahmad (no.21,334 and no.21,335). Sheikh Shu'ayb al Arna'ut graded it sahih li ghayri (authentic due to corroborating narrations) in his tahqiq of the Musnad (1999 ed., 35:21,296-97). Al Tirmidhi (no.2229) and others record the following hadith: إنما أخاف على أمتي الأئمة المضلين And Allah knows best.
Assalamuaikum wa Rahmat ullah. I love you my dear brother in Islam for sake Allah, beautifully explain leave our small differences a side, how we should leave in peace be united us Muslim. May Allah swt protect & bless you and give you long life and continually, give us beneficial knowledge and enlightened us in this world and hereafter. Ameen
I think, most if not all of the great Islamic Empires and Rules had Sufi touch. So if history is any guide then Tasauwuf is the way to make Islam/Muslims great again.
@Ibraishah Abdullah might be in your dreams they were no concept of sufism. Sufism is the analogy of old religion of turks before they became muslim. I thought u havelittle knowledge there is no concept of mystism in islam.
@Ibraishah Abdullah i am not a scholar even a lawman can figure out sufism is not islam. I have seen with my own eyes what they do. Might be i am wrong because i am not scholar there is something inside me which tells me that sufism is not right.
@@omerabbadi9389 Don't mind them. Let's just try to stick to the Ways of the Salaf. The truth will come to them eventually or well, they'll see it when Qiyamah comes.
@Ibraishah Abdullah Sufism isn't Islam. The ways of Tasawwuf are vague and the reality about Ihsan is incomprehensible by Muslims in general. Ihsan is attained by Following the Sunnah which the Sahabas did, not following the so called Philosophers who have ambiguous theories on what reality is. Islam is perfect the way Rasool s.a.w bought it and it will remain perfect as long as we follow the Sahabas, the three early generations and the senior scholars who gave their life for Educating people about Islam.
4:40.. If they deny the existence of everything other than Allah.. Then its tantamount to deny one of the sifat of Allah.. That is Al-khaliq.. Allah created his creatures.. Allah is haq and also his mahlooq are haq. Could be possible that they deny many sifat of Allah by claiming so.
It is his simplistic misunderstanding of great Masters like ibn Arabi. So don't think that based on this lecture you could possibly understand what they affirm or deny. Clearly he doesn't either. A more reasonable approach and closer to his and our level, as compared to Ibn Arabi's level, would have been to say that such people are only for the spiritual elite and the rest of us should stay away and stick to basics because it is sure that we will misunderstand their thought and will be led astray. After all, isn't it a fact that even people who think they are following the Quran and the Sunah often go astray? That's why lots of humbleness is needed for the common muslim and for the scholars alike. We are too small compared to man of God, Awliyallah. They are the real followers of Quran and the prophets, not little people like us and most of scholars. You can't impress God with ignorance (common muslims) nor with degrees (religious scholars).
@@bennyt1020 if possible you can explain what was Ibn Arabi's possible explanation..? Allah's deen is clear and simple, if something cannot be explained in deen and people cannot understand, then its not from Allah.
@@knightdave1986 " Allah's deen is clear and simple ". Sure, Allah's creation also is clear and simple, how much of it you understand though? Are you a nuclear scientist, do you know quantum physics, do you know high mathematics? What do you know? And you assume that there is no such thing as highest knowledge in Islam also, not accessible to the common man, just like those sciences are not accessible to most? Yes, there is knowledges in this deen just for the spiritual elite. Me and you should be grateful that Allah in his mercy has provided a way for the rest of us, which is the basics of our deen. That however dosen't mean that everything can be brought down to our level and assume that can be made simple to fit into our little minds. This is very basic thing to understand so you can put things on the right context.
Be careful which books which you read for the great scholars have told us that his views have changed for the better over time. Ask a sheikh who follows the quran, the sunnah and has the understanding of the first 3 generations for recomendations on which books to pick.
Thank you for the wonderful explanantion. Just a simple muslim, looks like it is beyond me. trying to follow Quran ans Sunnah simple rules, never knew what Sufism really is.
So... the theology is sounding a whole lot like Gnosticism, but the practice is sounding like Second Temple era Jewish Hekhalot mysticism, which itself influenced Early Christianity through Paul, Eastern Orthodoxy and even Mormon mystical practice, with the different stations on the way to the veil and the presence of God. I wonder what the actual transmission route was.
Dear Shaykh as per my knowledge, the word Sufi is derived from the Ashab as Sufa (the people who were living or attached to the Suffah -a shelter behind the mosque of Muhammad saw-) it's root goes back to the time of the Prophet saw. Allah knows best.
I love this response from à non Sufi (maybe even slightly anti sufi) to answer with: don't hate and don't judge. Because yes it's is quite a spectrum. Abd the things found with some sufis that make non sufi's raise à brow and draw à line, the majority of the sufis would also raise their brow and draw à line too. The majority are just like non sufis
Good answer from our dear Dr ;however, you can find the academic answer in a great book titled: "Sufisim: A spiritual revolution in Islam", authored by Dr. Abu al-Ila Afifi.
JazakAllah Khaieran sheikh for this very informative and fruitful explanation. As a convert to Islam, when these various sufis tried to interest me in their practices i simply said, i did not leave the questionable practices of my ancestors to follow those of yours. I don't even understand why somebody would even consider changing or modifying what Allah SWT perfected for us through the Qu'ran and Sunnah. And in these modifications, those who claim to seek Ihsane, is there not someone on the other end financially benefiting for the sake of the Dunya? Ihsane, Iman, the Day of Judgement... Are based on ALLAH SWT's judgement of each and every one of us individually. Moreover, la illa ha illa la Muhammadan rassullah la is complete.
@@azizfazel6937 my understanding, mostly comes from watching his videos. He's an amazing, knowledgeable sheikh Macha'Allah. And what you're doing, publicly putting down a sheikh... Check your Taqwa.
documents.pub/document/defense-of-the-sunnah-al-shaghori.html this book illustrates with clear qur'an and sunnah the validity of the mainstream practices of tasawwuf
sybille dubois: MaashaaAllaah, Allaah (swt) has guided you to the straight path and also bestowed you the understanding to stay away from adopting innovated practices that are neither from the Qur'aan or Sunnah. May Allaah (swt) continue to guide you (and all of us, including all of our other brothers/sisters who are reverts)! Ameen.
@@knightdave1986 I mainly like the concept of tassawuf. This appeals to me greatly because it involves always having the rememberance of Allaah on your tongue and in your heart. This is for me.
this is a good book, if you want to know more the best is to find a sheikh of tasawwuf who is clearly following the shari'ah documents.pub/document/defense-of-the-sunnah-al-shaghori.html
Asalam alaikum brothers & sister , i m from from kashmir ... how can i ask question to sheikh yasir qahdi sir..... May Allah give him jazai khair........Aameen

I am so much interested in becoming what you are but unfortunately I am destined not to be one. Thank you for speaking & making dua for us 😔
How can a chained man understand the world of the unchained man. Their are levels in this deen. We should have the humility to recognizing the world of the men of dhkir, is not like our world. Imam Suyuti, considered Shaykul Islam in his time, and is today a huge source of understanding of the Quran and Sunnah, protected Ibn Arabi from the takfiris. At least, say Allahu a'lam, is much safer than calling his views for kufr, without fully understanding them
Even with experiential sufism, there are groups who come up with weird ways of dhikr that the Prophet (saws) never taught/did. A very common example is continuing to repeat "hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu..." When you ask them why they're doing that, they say it's short for "AllaaHU" and a way of "remembering God." God's last messenger (saws) taught us how God wants us to perform dhikr, and that's clearly not among them. To use another example, I've come across a brother in the masjid holding his fingers in both hands in what looked to me like gang symbols, and when asked why, he said he was putting them in the shape of "Allah" and that keeping them that way is a form of dhikr. The reason Allaah (swt) sent us His last messenger (saws) and revelation was so we could learn how God wants us to worship Himself. Doing it in weird new ways is not "worshipping God" but worshipping one's own preferences/desires (in my humble opinion), especially when it is 100% clear such practices/beliefs have nothing reliably traceable to the teachings/practices of Rasoolullaah (saws). However, as Sheikh Qadhi mentioned in this video, "to them their way, and us ours." What gets complicated is when someone who follows weird innovations wants to influence the community and targets new converts to misguide them. May Allaah (swt) protect us!
assalamualaikum, mashaAllah great explanation. regarding Al Imam Ibn Arabi may Allah please with him, i still do not find in his writing he called himself a sufi nor he practiced wahdatul wujud. the first person that call him practice wahdatul wujud was ibn taimiyah may Allah forgive him
Ma sha Allah, jazaakallahu khaira, Sheikh, your expressions here are most comforting, I feel safe and justified knowing that my perception of the subject is in conformity with that of an Aalim of your stature.
Shaikh I am also from that part of Kashmir you talked about. I'm sorry to say mostly people there negate "ایاک نستعین .if sufi tareeqat stays under shareeat then no problem The almighty Allah says"وان کنتم تحبون اللہ فاتبعونی یحببکم اللہ
Islam is the middle path and we should not follow extremes in any case. Wahabisam is one extreme and those follow sufism ignoring shariat is another extreme. Wahabisam is a food with no seasoning and salt, so a food for sick people, and extreme sufies destroy food with tons of salt and seasonings. The right balance i find in imam al Gazali's book Ahya Ulumuddin.
Sir, I am Abdul Aziz from Bangladesh. I'm a bengali. I can't t understand your speak clearly. Please add a subtitles in bangla or English so that foreign person like us can understood your lecture clearly and can gain from it. Specialy a big number of your followers are bengally.

Imam Ahmad Didn't Praise Sufis or Sufism Fatwa No: 408061 Fatwa Date:1-12-2019 - Rabee' Al-Aakhir 4, 1441Email Print Rating: Question I have heard that Imam Ahmad praised Sufis and said that they only do Raqs (dance) out of joy/love/emotion for Allah S.W.T. Is this true? And if not then what did he say about them. And also is it permissible to move, or sway or dance during the Majalis of Dhikr because it is an expression of deep emotion and love? And also Imam Ahmad reported in his Musnad a Hadith of Anas R.A from Rasul S.A.W where the Abyssinians performed some play with their weapons and danced in front of Rasulullah S.A.W and recited words of praise of Rasul S.A.W. Does this mean that it is permissible to dance out of joy or to move out of love and emotion when remembering Allah S.W.T or Rasul S.A.W. Could you please clarify from the views of scholars like Al Ghazzali and Imam Ahmad and such big scholars. Jazak Allahu Khairan Wassalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuhu Answer All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger. We have no knowledge of the claim that Imam Ahmad may Allaah have mercy upon him praised Sufism in its totality, or that he justified their dancing and gave them excuses to do so as an act of worship. In fact, Sufis are not all the same; some of them are righteous, while others are wicked. The terms “Tasawwuf” and “Sufism” appeared relatively late, and were not known during the best first three virtuous generations of Islam; but were introduced and widely used later on. The phenomenon of “Tasawwuf” first emerged in Basra as its people were known to be extremely ascetic, devout worshippers, fearful of Allah, and the like. In its early beginning, Tasawwuf was a sound practice (devoid of Sharee‘ah violations) and some prominent Muslim scholars, who were known for their knowledge, asceticism, and religious prudence, practiced Tasawwuf like Al-Junayd may Allaah have mercy upon him. However, those scholars practiced it within the framework of the Sharee‘ah. In essence, Tasawwuf was prompted by the intent to promote praiseworthy asceticism, denouncement of worldly pleasures, devotion to worship, self-discipline, and commitment to refined morals, in order to overcome the countertrend of hedonism and overindulgence in worldly pleasures at the time. Afterwards, different groups of people, who were given to religious innovations and heresy, claimed to practice Tasawwuf, giving rise to multiple sub-groups and diverse categories of adherents. Contemplating the contemporary Sufism, one realizes that it abounds in religious innovations and acts of Shirk. The late Sufi adherents are dramatically different from their predecessors, as they practiced many religious innovations and deviated from the correct path. For example, they introduced some practices like worshipping Allah, the Almighty, through dancing, jumping, whirling and swaying while reciting Thikr (mention of Allah), all of which are considered deniable religious innovations according to the consensus of Muslim scholars. Many scholars from various approved mainstream schools of Fiqh declared such acts as religious innovations and strongly denounced them. Were it not for the sake of brevity and our adherence to the website’s policy in answering English questions concisely, we would have cited for you many statements of Muslim jurists in this regard. However, we shall cite below some statements as examples. It is stated in the Maaliki book Fat-h Al-‘Aliyy Al-Maalik fi Al-Fatwa ‘ala Math-hab Al-Imam Maalik by the Maaliki scholar ‘Ulaysh may Allaah have mercy upon him: “Imam Abu Bakr At-Tartooshi, may Allaah have mercy upon him, was once asked: ‘What is your opinion on the school of Sufism? Note, may Allah protect you, that it is practiced by some men who mention Allah and (invoke blessings on) His Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) abundantly. They beat drums made of leather with sticks; some of them dance and start screaming and shaking until they faint, and then they serve food. Is it permissible to attend their gatherings? Please advise, may Allah reward you.’ He may Allaah have mercy upon him replied: ‘May Allah have mercy upon you. The ideology of Sufism abounds in ignorance, falsehood and error. Islam is no more than what is found in the Quran and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ). However, dancing and ecstasy were first introduced by As-Saamiri when he made a statue of a calf having a mooing sound, and people danced around it in ecstasy. Thus, such a practice is the way (the religion) of the disbelievers and worshippers of the calf. As for the stick and drum, they were first used by the heretics to distract Muslims from the Quran. On the contrary, the Companions used to sit with the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) as if there were birds perched on their heads out of solemnity. Therefore, the Muslim ruler and his deputies should prevent those people from gathering in mosques and other places. It is not permissible for anyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day, to attend their gathering or help them practice their falsehood. This is the adopted opinion of Maalik, Abu Haneefah, Ash-Shaafi‘i, Ahmad ibn Hanbal and other Muslim Imams may Allaah have mercy upon them. Verily, success is granted by Allah, The Exalted.’” [End of quote] Moreover, Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah may Allaah have mercy upon him said: “As for dancing, this was not enjoined by Allah, The Exalted, or His Messenger sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) or any of the early Muslim scholars. Rather, Allah Says in His Book (what means): • {And be moderate in your pace} [Quran 31:19] • {And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily...} [Quran 25:63] The term “easily” in the second verse denotes walking with calmness and serenity. Muslims worship their Lord by bowing and prostration.” [End of quote] As for the story of the Abyssinians who were playing in the mosque, it is irrelevant because the Abyssinians played with spears as a training in carrying weapons or to display their skills. It was not intended as a devotional act of worship and did not involve dancing while reciting Thikr. Ibn Hajar, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said in Fat-h Al-Baari: “Some Sufis bring forth this Hadeeth as evidence to prove the permissibility of dancing and listening to musical instruments. However, the majority of scholars refuted such inference due to the difference of purpose; for the Abyssinians’ playing with spears was for the purpose of training for war, and so, the Hadeeth cannot be used as evidence to support the permissibility of dancing for amusement purposes.” [End of quote] For more benefit on Sufism, please refer to Fataawa 82017, 31043, 31031, and 29243. Allah knows best.

No need of reading " riyazu s saliheen" when Quran ( very simple to understand) and Hadees/ sunnah of Prophet Muhammad PBUH is available every where. Sufi ism is nothing beyond shariyati MUHAMMED SAVAW. There is danger of falling in to secterian devide / firqavariyat which is a great sin . Let us try to be straight and simple muslimeen or momineen by fallowing QURAN AND HADEES sunnah. I reject sufi ism knowingly because it has more disadvantages than some advantages. I am from KASHMIR.
@@jaffarsamoon6711 sufism is not a sect though! you can read your obligiatory prayers and d extra zikr. you have overlooked the fundamentals of it and you are basing your opinions on those who have gone deep into it. there is no harm for you to stick with your aqeedah and still do extra zikr
Thank you dr yasir may Allah bless you,Now I know why the followers of ibn wahab attacking you. The prophet PBU and his sahaba were the real Sufism. Tassawuf is the real sunnah of the prophet PBU,its the heart of Islam and it’s the knowledge of ihsan. The people who against tasswuf is the followers of ibn abdul wahab and the people of little knowledge, but when you really study the history of Islam you’ll find out the all great scholars were Sufism. The people who against tassawuf always telling people of little knowledge don’t look at sufis books scared them about tasawuf, cuz they know when you study tasawuf to find out the truth Islam you’ll end up be mutasawif. May Allah give us all a pure heart ❤️ until the day of judgment 🙏🏾
I argue Tasawuf is a way of thinking that emerged from Hellenism syncretized into Islam. Hellenism being Greek philosophies which included Hindu concepts. Both Judaism and Christianity were profoundly altered by Hellenism as was Islam. Hellenism includes Pythagorianism, Platonism, Neo Platonism, etc. Veneration of the dead, practiced in all three Abrahamic deviations, can be traced to preHellenic Mycenean culture.
نحمدہ و نصلی علٰی رسولہ الکریم اعوذب اللہ من الشیطان الرجیم بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم 62. Ala inna awliyaa Allahi la khawfun AAalayhim walahum yahzanoona 62. Behold! verily on the friends Of God there is no fear, Nor shall they grieve; Big misconception!!!!!!!!!!!! From the whaabi/salafi?najdi ,or just the plain ahle confused who have their own sudo aqida; is that anyone who takes wasila does it with the intention that that wasila is the source of power NO!!, THIS CLAIM IS FLSE!! The source of everything is Allah Who on earth is anyone not to recommend wasila when Allah does "Oh! you who believe! fear allah and seek an approach(wassila) unto him"(5:35) "If they had only, when they were wronging themselves, come unto thee and asked Allah's forgiveness, AND THE MESSENGER HAD ASKED FORGIVENESS FOR THEM, THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND ALLAH INDEED OFT-RETURNING, MOST MERCIFUL (4:64)." This should be sufficient for any sound non brainwashed Muslim, however there is more evidence below from scholars and hadith including in ibn tammiya Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith: 5.59 Narrated Anas: Whenever there was drought, 'Umar bin Al-Khattab used to ask Allah for rain through Al-'Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib, saying, "O Allah! We used ^^^^^^^ to request our Prophet to ask You for rain, and You would give us. Now we request the uncle of our Prophet to ask You for rain, so give us rain." And they would be given rain." The Prophet said on the authority of `Umar: "When Adam committed his mistake he said: O my Lord, I am asking you to forgive me for the sake of Muhammad. Allah said: O Adam, and how do you know about Muhammad whom I have not yet created? Adam replied, O my Lord, after You created me with your hand and breathed into me of Your Spirit, I raised my head and saw written on the heights of the Throne: LA ILAHA ILLALLAH MUHAMMADUN RASULULLAH I understood that You would not place next to Your Name but the Most Beloved One of Your creation. Allah said: O Adam, I have forgiven you, and were it not for Muhammad I would not have created you." The way to become closer to Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) is to practice Islam in the way that it has been established for us. Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an: “This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favour on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion.” (Qur’an: 5:3). We do this by performing the obligatory actions such as prayer and fasting, giving in charity and pilgrimage. Also by the supererogatory (non obligatory) prayers, good deeds and remembrance of Allah. In a famous Hadith e Qudsi, Allah says: “Whosoever shows enmity to someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My servant draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it. I do not hesitate about anything as much as I hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My faithful servant: he hates death and I hate hurting him.” [Bukhari] REMEMBERING ALLAH: “So remember Me; I will remember you. Be thankful to Me, and never ungrateful.” (Qur’an 2:152) In another Hadith e Qudsi, Allah says: “I am as My servant thinks I am. I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm’s length, I draw near to him a fathom’s length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed.” [Bukhari]

There is different school (mandhab) in fiqh, different school in theology (aqidah) and there is also different school (tariaqh) in "Ihsan". This is that simple.
Some of the tariqah have a more "experimental" way of seeing things, and thus this might be problematic for some people of other school that are more literalist.
Also the act of following a shaykh for spiritual guidance and taking bayaa (allegiance) is considered by the people of tariqah to be a sunnah, as the companion took bayaa to the Prophet saws.
I don't mean to go into a debate and justification of the sufism and all its details, its right and wrong. Just be aware that the tariqah base their things on the quran and the sunnah, might you agree or not.
@@shifeq9770 brother as per my knowledge, the word Sufi is derived from the Ashab as Sufa (the people who were living or attached to the Suffah -a shelter behind the mosque of Muhammad saw-) it's root goes back to the time of the Prophet saw. Allah knows best.
JazakAllah Sheikh. Indeed the tasawuf is the best way to purify one's own self. True sufism doesn't clash with shariah rather it prepares one's heart to follow shariah.
Thank you very much Dr. Yasir. This is the best explanation I've ever got about Tassawwuf. However, you keep saying this is summary. We need a full lecture on this topic. Many aspect of Tassawwuf needs explanation. Spreading of white garment and sitting around it for zikr, doing zikr in congregation etc. May Allah preserve you for us. Allahuma Ameen
The Sufi ulema will tell you about tasawuf, sheikh yasir is no scholar of tasawuf
Brilliant summary of sufism. May Allah reward you. Your efforts are very much appreciated.
MashaAllah, great explanation. May Allah grant you as a Sufi. And purify our heart.. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Best explanation on Sufism so far!
Alhamdulillah for Shaykh Yasir Qadhi
JazakAllahu khayran Shaykhna
Insightful!
Thanks to the COVID, when i go out i can do dhikr all the time without attracting attention since my mouth moving won't be visible (because of the mask). I can do continuous dikr and my favorit sentence i repeat all the time is '' Ina Lillah wa Inna Lillahi raji3oun''
i hope this might inspire a brother or sister
"Kalimatan Habibatan Ila Ar- Rahman, Khafifatan 'Ala Al-Lisan, Thaqilatan Fi Al-Mizan "Subhanallahi Wa Bi Hamdih, Subhanallahi Al-Azim"
@@harun5105 Yes! I do dhikr of these some times, but i still have a personal preferance for Ina lillah wa inna ilayhi raji3un, it reminds me that soon or later, i'll be reunited with my Creator, and that I belong to Him even if I am not with Him yet (although Subhanouhou is always with us) . Which is what gives me patience to go on in difficult times ❤️ May Allah forgive us and purify our intention and soul, ameen
Jazak Allahu khair Sheikh, MashaAllah such a balanced and wise answer.
Thanks Dr. Yasir on your efforts to search the truth. Love from Bangladesh. I believe this Hadith to be the core of Taswwuf and try to follow it: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “None of you have faith until I am more beloved to him than his children, his father, and all of the people.”

Barakallah Dr. Yasir Qadhi. I've come back to this lecture a few times.
We definitely don't build our imaan based on attacking someone else based on such minor differences. The people that are good to be around with are those who focuses on getting closer to Allah SWT & Rasulullah saw without attacking others.
Great explanation devoid of bias. Thanks for clarifying. I'm from Damascus and I didn't know Sufism of nakshbandi had slight influnece there so I wanted to know what it is
The ottomans for the most of its entirety were Naqshbandi as was Sultan muhammed al fatih (raheemullah) as were many of the Mughal emperors in india.
@Orient Express Oh we all know Sheikh Al Bouti. Didn't think of him as a sufi growing up. Just as a muslim scholar. It was so sad to see him go, but I know he's in a better place now
@@TarekMidani Al Bouti was a sufi. Shaykh Ali Sabuni was a sufi. Shaykh Abdel Fattah Aboguddah was a sufi. Shaykh Muhammed Awwamah is a sufi.
Alhamdulillah, Syria has given us some of the greatest Ahlus Sunnah scholars of the last century.
@Orient Express al Bouti was wrong on many matters, may Allah have mercy on him. His misguidances and mistakes helped to cause the war
Great explanations of Sufism. Thanks Shaykh Saheb to teach us having tolerance towards others believes. May Allah SWT shower you with his mercy.

80% + of the imams of ahlu sunnah are sufis one way or another, and that's not an exaggeration, even the conquerors like the great salahaden ayoubi and Mehmet the conqueror were all sufis
Is he wahabi or from other sect? Is he from ahle sunnah wal jammah?
@@miladmustafavi3075 he is a neo hanbali’
@@miladmustafavi3075 ex salafi who realiz wahabism is sect of devil but because of whole life he spent in wahabism he has that type of understanding

What's missing is the recognition that Sufism was not practiced nor promoted by the Prophet (saws) nor the Sahaba (RAH) nor the tabeen (rh).
Mashallah, the Sheikh has grown so much. Before he was full 'Salafi' and now he himself dislikes the aggressiveness from the Salafi movement.
Im Naqshbandi and we focus on spirituality and trying to have good character. We don't do dancing or any other weird stuff. Just Zikr of Allah st and staying on the straight path.

I am a hindu... i am so amazed to find that the sufi element of oness with god is so similar to our advaita school... I think sufism was inspired from hinduism in some way or the other because we knew these like many thousand years ago before even mohammed appeared on earth
Best ever summarised explanation ever heard regarding Sufism.....Masha Allah
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
The Sheikh has a very fair understanding, spreads peace and good manners among Muslims.
A true sufi follows the creed of ahlu sunna, the fiqh-schools, loves and honours every word of Quran and sunna.
There is no union with Allah ﷻ, the destination of a sufi is exact what is written in the holy quran: love, nearness, mercy, forgiveness of Allah.
There can be feelings and experiences of union, but there is no union between the ruh and Allah ﷻ according to the scholars and the greatest sufi-masters like Imam Rabbani or Sheikh Ahmad Rifai.
A sufi needs very good aqida- knowledge, otherwise he will be confused by his experiences.
Ma a salama
Abul Abbas
Jazakallah khair Sheikh
Impressed to hear about the tariqah Sufism especially mentioning of the Qadiriyyah and Tijanniyah. I’m a Sunni Muslim and a follower of Qadiriyyah and come from a long line of Sunni sufis saints who were qadiriyyahs
not the fairest of analyses, but naql is definitely more important and aql. praying for the best for the children of adam.

Abu Dhar said, "I was with the Prophet (SAW) one day and I heard him saing: "There is something I fear for my Ummah than the Dajjal." It was then that I became afraid, so I said: " Oh Rasool Allah! Which thing is that?" He (SAW) said; "Misguided and astray scholars."
Recorded in Musnad Imam Ahmad (no.21,334 and no.21,335). Sheikh Shu'ayb al Arna'ut graded it sahih li ghayri (authentic due to corroborating narrations) in his tahqiq of the Musnad (1999 ed., 35:21,296-97).

Very good presentation brother. May Allah help you.
I think, most if not all of the great Islamic Empires and Rules had Sufi touch. So if history is any guide then Tasauwuf is the way to make Islam/Muslims great again.
Oh i see bloody . Was sahabas were sufi. Oh i thought they were also sufi used to dance in open air to embrace islam. Lol
@Ibraishah Abdullah might be in your dreams they were no concept of sufism. Sufism is the analogy of old religion of turks before they became muslim. I thought u havelittle knowledge there is no concept of mystism in islam.
@Ibraishah Abdullah i am not a scholar even a lawman can figure out sufism is not islam. I have seen with my own eyes what they do. Might be i am wrong because i am not scholar there is something inside me which tells me that sufism is not right.
@@omerabbadi9389 Don't mind them. Let's just try to stick to the Ways of the Salaf. The truth will come to them eventually or well, they'll see it when Qiyamah comes.
@Ibraishah Abdullah Sufism isn't Islam. The ways of Tasawwuf are vague and the reality about Ihsan is incomprehensible by Muslims in general. Ihsan is attained by Following the Sunnah which the Sahabas did, not following the so called Philosophers who have ambiguous theories on what reality is. Islam is perfect the way Rasool s.a.w bought it and it will remain perfect as long as we follow the Sahabas, the three early generations and the senior scholars who gave their life for Educating people about Islam.

Allah bless you sheikh. A very balanced answer.
Allah senden razı olsun kardeşim çok güzel ders olmuş…
Islam is perfect. Anything that has imperfections is not Islam.
ZajakAllah .best explanation I have heard so far
4:40.. If they deny the existence of everything other than Allah.. Then its tantamount to deny one of the sifat of Allah.. That is Al-khaliq.. Allah created his creatures.. Allah is haq and also his mahlooq are haq. Could be possible that they deny many sifat of Allah by claiming so.
Great point, MashaaAllaah! And to reject any of Allaah's (swt) attributes is also a form of shirk called Shirk-al-asmaa-was-sifaat.
And they attribute to us the attributes of Allah...
It is his simplistic misunderstanding of great Masters like ibn Arabi. So don't think that based on this lecture you could possibly understand what they affirm or deny. Clearly he doesn't either.
A more reasonable approach and closer to his and our level, as compared to Ibn Arabi's level, would have been to say that such people are only for the spiritual elite and the rest of us should stay away and stick to basics because it is sure that we will misunderstand their thought and will be led astray. After all, isn't it a fact that even people who think they are following the Quran and the Sunah often go astray?
That's why lots of humbleness is needed for the common muslim and for the scholars alike. We are too small compared to man of God, Awliyallah. They are the real followers of Quran and the prophets, not little people like us and most of scholars. You can't impress God with ignorance (common muslims) nor with degrees (religious scholars).
@@bennyt1020 if possible you can explain what was Ibn Arabi's possible explanation..?
Allah's deen is clear and simple, if something cannot be explained in deen and people cannot understand, then its not from Allah.
@@knightdave1986 " Allah's deen is clear and simple ". Sure, Allah's creation also is clear and simple, how much of it you understand though? Are you a nuclear scientist, do you know quantum physics, do you know high mathematics? What do you know?
And you assume that there is no such thing as highest knowledge in Islam also, not accessible to the common man, just like those sciences are not accessible to most?
Yes, there is knowledges in this deen just for the spiritual elite. Me and you should be grateful that Allah in his mercy has provided a way for the rest of us, which is the basics of our deen. That however dosen't mean that everything can be brought down to our level and assume that can be made simple to fit into our little minds.
This is very basic thing to understand so you can put things on the right context.

Dear Sir, Would you please tell me, could I read books of Imam Al Ghazzali?
He is one of the revivers of the Islam at his time, as you know there are time periods that Allah allows a revivers to exist
Be careful which books which you read for the great scholars have told us that his views have changed for the better over time. Ask a sheikh who follows the quran, the sunnah and has the understanding of the first 3 generations for recomendations on which books to pick.
Thank you for the wonderful explanantion. Just a simple muslim, looks like it is beyond me. trying to follow Quran ans Sunnah simple rules, never knew what Sufism really is.
So... the theology is sounding a whole lot like Gnosticism, but the practice is sounding like Second Temple era Jewish Hekhalot mysticism, which itself influenced Early Christianity through Paul, Eastern Orthodoxy and even Mormon mystical practice, with the different stations on the way to the veil and the presence of God. I wonder what the actual transmission route was.
Dear Shaykh as per my knowledge, the word Sufi is derived from the Ashab as Sufa (the people who were living or attached to the Suffah -a shelter behind the mosque of Muhammad saw-) it's root goes back to the time of the Prophet saw. Allah knows best.
MashaAllah, beautifully explained.
I love this response from à non Sufi (maybe even slightly anti sufi) to answer with: don't hate and don't judge. Because yes it's is quite a spectrum. Abd the things found with some sufis that make non sufi's raise à brow and draw à line, the majority of the sufis would also raise their brow and draw à line too. The majority are just like non sufis

JazakAllah Khaieran sheikh for this very informative and fruitful explanation. As a convert to Islam, when these various sufis tried to interest me in their practices i simply said, i did not leave the questionable practices of my ancestors to follow those of yours. I don't even understand why somebody would even consider changing or modifying what Allah SWT perfected for us through the Qu'ran and Sunnah. And in these modifications, those who claim to seek Ihsane, is there not someone on the other end financially benefiting for the sake of the Dunya? Ihsane, Iman, the Day of Judgement... Are based on ALLAH SWT's judgement of each and every one of us individually. Moreover, la illa ha illa la Muhammadan rassullah la is complete.

@@saheedahmed8630 May allah swt reward you.
Even with experiential sufism, there are groups who come up with weird ways of dhikr that the Prophet (saws) never taught/did. A very common example is continuing to repeat "hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu..." When you ask them why they're doing that, they say it's short for "AllaaHU" and a way of "remembering God." God's last messenger (saws) taught us how God wants us to perform dhikr, and that's clearly not among them. To use another example, I've come across a brother in the masjid holding his fingers in both hands in what looked to me like gang symbols, and when asked why, he said he was putting them in the shape of "Allah" and that keeping them that way is a form of dhikr. The reason Allaah (swt) sent us His last messenger (saws) and revelation was so we could learn how God wants us to worship Himself. Doing it in weird new ways is not "worshipping God" but worshipping one's own preferences/desires (in my humble opinion), especially when it is 100% clear such practices/beliefs have nothing reliably traceable to the teachings/practices of Rasoolullaah (saws). However, as Sheikh Qadhi mentioned in this video, "to them their way, and us ours." What gets complicated is when someone who follows weird innovations wants to influence the community and targets new converts to misguide them. May Allaah (swt) protect us!
The famous ertugrul and other Turkish series really promote these.

Islam is the middle path and we should not follow extremes in any case. Wahabisam is one extreme and those follow sufism ignoring shariat is another extreme. Wahabisam is a food with no seasoning and salt, so a food for sick people, and extreme sufies destroy food with tons of salt and seasonings. The right balance i find in imam al Gazali's book Ahya Ulumuddin.

Question
I have heard that Imam Ahmad praised Sufis and said that they only do Raqs (dance) out of joy/love/emotion for Allah S.W.T. Is this true? And if not then what did he say about them. And also is it permissible to move, or sway or dance during the Majalis of Dhikr because it is an expression of deep emotion and love? And also Imam Ahmad reported in his Musnad a Hadith of Anas R.A from Rasul S.A.W where the Abyssinians performed some play with their weapons and danced in front of Rasulullah S.A.W and recited words of praise of Rasul S.A.W. Does this mean that it is permissible to dance out of joy or to move out of love and emotion when remembering Allah S.W.T or Rasul S.A.W. Could you please clarify from the views of scholars like Al Ghazzali and Imam Ahmad and such big scholars. Jazak Allahu Khairan
Wassalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuhu
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.
We have no knowledge of the claim that Imam Ahmad may Allaah have mercy upon him praised Sufism in its totality, or that he justified their dancing and gave them excuses to do so as an act of worship.
In fact, Sufis are not all the same; some of them are righteous, while others are wicked. The terms “Tasawwuf” and “Sufism” appeared relatively late, and were not known during the best first three virtuous generations of Islam; but were introduced and widely used later on.
The phenomenon of “Tasawwuf” first emerged in Basra as its people were known to be extremely ascetic, devout worshippers, fearful of Allah, and the like.
In its early beginning, Tasawwuf was a sound practice (devoid of Sharee‘ah violations) and some prominent Muslim scholars, who were known for their knowledge, asceticism, and religious prudence, practiced Tasawwuf like Al-Junayd may Allaah have mercy upon him. However, those scholars practiced it within the framework of the Sharee‘ah. In essence, Tasawwuf was prompted by the intent to promote praiseworthy asceticism, denouncement of worldly pleasures, devotion to worship, self-discipline, and commitment to refined morals, in order to overcome the countertrend of hedonism and overindulgence in worldly pleasures at the time.
Afterwards, different groups of people, who were given to religious innovations and heresy, claimed to practice Tasawwuf, giving rise to multiple sub-groups and diverse categories of adherents.
Contemplating the contemporary Sufism, one realizes that it abounds in religious innovations and acts of Shirk. The late Sufi adherents are dramatically different from their predecessors, as they practiced many religious innovations and deviated from the correct path.
For example, they introduced some practices like worshipping Allah, the Almighty, through dancing, jumping, whirling and swaying while reciting Thikr (mention of Allah), all of which are considered deniable religious innovations according to the consensus of Muslim scholars.
Many scholars from various approved mainstream schools of Fiqh declared such acts as religious innovations and strongly denounced them. Were it not for the sake of brevity and our adherence to the website’s policy in answering English questions concisely, we would have cited for you many statements of Muslim jurists in this regard. However, we shall cite below some statements as examples.
It is stated in the Maaliki book Fat-h Al-‘Aliyy Al-Maalik fi Al-Fatwa ‘ala Math-hab Al-Imam Maalik by the Maaliki scholar ‘Ulaysh may Allaah have mercy upon him: “Imam Abu Bakr At-Tartooshi, may Allaah have mercy upon him, was once asked: ‘What is your opinion on the school of Sufism? Note, may Allah protect you, that it is practiced by some men who mention Allah and (invoke blessings on) His Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) abundantly. They beat drums made of leather with sticks; some of them dance and start screaming and shaking until they faint, and then they serve food. Is it permissible to attend their gatherings? Please advise, may Allah reward you.’
He may Allaah have mercy upon him replied: ‘May Allah have mercy upon you. The ideology of Sufism abounds in ignorance, falsehood and error. Islam is no more than what is found in the Quran and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ). However, dancing and ecstasy were first introduced by As-Saamiri when he made a statue of a calf having a mooing sound, and people danced around it in ecstasy. Thus, such a practice is the way (the religion) of the disbelievers and worshippers of the calf.
As for the stick and drum, they were first used by the heretics to distract Muslims from the Quran. On the contrary, the Companions used to sit with the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) as if there were birds perched on their heads out of solemnity. Therefore, the Muslim ruler and his deputies should prevent those people from gathering in mosques and other places. It is not permissible for anyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day, to attend their gathering or help them practice their falsehood. This is the adopted opinion of Maalik, Abu Haneefah, Ash-Shaafi‘i, Ahmad ibn Hanbal and other Muslim Imams may Allaah have mercy upon them. Verily, success is granted by Allah, The Exalted.’” [End of quote]
Moreover, Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah may Allaah have mercy upon him said: “As for dancing, this was not enjoined by Allah, The Exalted, or His Messenger sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) or any of the early Muslim scholars. Rather, Allah Says in His Book (what means):
• {And be moderate in your pace} [Quran 31:19]
• {And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily...} [Quran 25:63]
The term “easily” in the second verse denotes walking with calmness and serenity. Muslims worship their Lord by bowing and prostration.” [End of quote]
As for the story of the Abyssinians who were playing in the mosque, it is irrelevant because the Abyssinians played with spears as a training in carrying weapons or to display their skills. It was not intended as a devotional act of worship and did not involve dancing while reciting Thikr. Ibn Hajar, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said in Fat-h Al-Baari: “Some Sufis bring forth this Hadeeth as evidence to prove the permissibility of dancing and listening to musical instruments. However, the majority of scholars refuted such inference due to the difference of purpose; for the Abyssinians’ playing with spears was for the purpose of training for war, and so, the Hadeeth cannot be used as evidence to support the permissibility of dancing for amusement purposes.” [End of quote]
For more benefit on Sufism, please refer to Fataawa 82017, 31043, 31031, and 29243.
Allah knows best.

No need of reading " riyazu s saliheen" when Quran ( very simple to understand) and Hadees/ sunnah of Prophet Muhammad PBUH is available every where. Sufi ism is nothing beyond shariyati MUHAMMED SAVAW. There is danger of falling in to secterian devide / firqavariyat which is a great sin . Let us try to be straight and simple muslimeen or momineen by fallowing QURAN AND HADEES sunnah.
I reject sufi ism knowingly because it has more disadvantages than some advantages. I am from KASHMIR.
@@jaffarsamoon6711 sufism is not a sect though! you can read your obligiatory prayers and d extra zikr. you have overlooked the fundamentals of it and you are basing your opinions on those who have gone deep into it. there is no harm for you to stick with your aqeedah and still do extra zikr
Byazid al bustami ( and early Sufi who was praised by ibn taimiyah)is not the same as ibn arabi and hallaj, and never said anything like this
Thank you dr yasir may Allah bless you,Now I know why the followers of ibn wahab attacking you. The prophet PBU and his sahaba were the real Sufism. Tassawuf is the real sunnah of the prophet PBU,its the heart of Islam and it’s the knowledge of ihsan. The people who against tasswuf is the followers of ibn abdul wahab and the people of little knowledge, but when you really study the history of Islam you’ll find out the all great scholars were Sufism. The people who against tassawuf always telling people of little knowledge don’t look at sufis books scared them about tasawuf, cuz they know when you study tasawuf to find out the truth Islam you’ll end up be mutasawif. May Allah give us all a pure heart ❤️ until the day of judgment 🙏🏾
Your right hate towards other Muslims is not the religion of our Prophet (saw) of Allah but neither is sufism.
Diplomatic answer
I argue Tasawuf is a way of thinking that emerged from Hellenism syncretized into Islam. Hellenism being Greek philosophies which included Hindu concepts. Both Judaism and Christianity were profoundly altered by Hellenism as was Islam. Hellenism includes Pythagorianism, Platonism, Neo Platonism, etc. Veneration of the dead, practiced in all three Abrahamic deviations, can be traced to preHellenic Mycenean culture.

Big misconception!!!!!!!!!!!! From the whaabi/salafi?najdi ,or just the plain ahle confused who have their own sudo aqida; is that anyone who takes wasila does it with the intention that that wasila is the source of power NO!!, THIS CLAIM IS FLSE!! The source of everything is Allah
Who on earth is anyone not to recommend wasila when Allah does
"Oh! you who believe! fear allah and seek an approach(wassila) unto him"(5:35)
"If they had only, when they were wronging themselves, come unto thee and asked Allah's forgiveness, AND THE MESSENGER HAD ASKED FORGIVENESS FOR THEM, THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND ALLAH INDEED OFT-RETURNING, MOST MERCIFUL (4:64)."
This should be sufficient for any sound non brainwashed Muslim, however there is more evidence below from scholars and hadith including in ibn tammiya
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith: 5.59
Narrated Anas:
Whenever there was drought, 'Umar bin Al-Khattab used to ask Allah for
rain through Al-'Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib, saying, "O Allah! We used
^^^^^^^
to request our Prophet to ask You for rain, and You would give us. Now
we request the uncle of our Prophet to ask You for rain, so give us
rain." And they would be given rain."
The Prophet said on the authority of `Umar:
"When Adam committed his mistake he said: O my Lord, I am asking you to forgive me for the sake of Muhammad. Allah said: O Adam, and how do you know about Muhammad whom I have not yet created? Adam replied, O my Lord, after You created me with your hand and breathed into me of Your Spirit, I raised my head and saw written on the heights of the Throne:
LA ILAHA ILLALLAH MUHAMMADUN RASULULLAH
I understood that You would not place next to Your Name but the Most Beloved One of Your creation. Allah said: O Adam, I have forgiven you, and were it not for Muhammad I would not have created you."
The way to become closer to Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) is to practice Islam in the way that it has been established for us. Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an:
“This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favour on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion.”
(Qur’an: 5:3).
We do this by performing the obligatory actions such as prayer and fasting, giving in charity and pilgrimage. Also by the supererogatory (non obligatory) prayers, good deeds and remembrance of Allah.
In a famous Hadith e Qudsi, Allah says:
“Whosoever shows enmity to someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My servant draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it. I do not hesitate about anything as much as I hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My faithful servant: he hates death and I hate hurting him.”
[Bukhari]
REMEMBERING ALLAH:
“So remember Me; I will remember you. Be thankful to Me, and never ungrateful.”
(Qur’an 2:152)
In another Hadith e Qudsi, Allah says:
“I am as My servant thinks I am. I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm’s length, I draw near to him a fathom’s length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed.”
[Bukhari]
