The Aim of The Sufi Callers (III) 

The second aim of the Sufis in the name of calling to Islam:

Making the Scholars of Sharee'ah and students of the Kitaab and Sunnah insignificant and worthless to the people by claiming that they (people of Suufiyyah) are Ahlul-Aqeeqah (People of Reality) while the scholars are Ahlus Sharee'ah, or that they are Ahlul Baatin (people of inward-thoughts) while the scholars are Ahluz Zaahir (People of the Apparent), and that the sciences of the Sharee’ah are nothing but useless husks if the essence with Suufiyyah does not enter into it, and that essence is what they call Ilmu Al-Baatin (knowledge of inward-thoughts/the hidden) or Ilmu Laduniy (Ilm-Rabaani — that is: divine knowledge attained through inspiration without being taught). This as you can see, is a brazen combat against the knowledge of the Kitaab and the Sunnah which the Messenger of Allah —Allah raise his rank and grant him peace— had come with, and being antagonistic to Allaah and His Messenger without realising it or even sometimes, knowingly.

(To be continued Inshaa Allaah)
