Islamic Ruling on Sufi tareeqahs and the ruling on joining them
Islamic Ruling on Sufi tareeqahs and the ruling on joining them
We must understand that the word al-soofiyyah (Sufism) refers to wearing woollen clothes [the Arabic word soof means “wool”] and nothing else.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
The word al-soofiyyah (Sufism) refers to wearing woollen clothes; this is the correct meaning. It was said that it comes from the word safwat al-fuqaha’ (the elite of the fuqaha’) or from Soofah ibn Add ibn Taanijah, an Arab tribe that was known for its asceticism, or from Ahl al-Suffah (poor Muslims in Madeenah at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who used to stay in the mosque), or from al-Safa (the mountain in Makkah), or from the word al-safwah (meaning elite), or from the phrase al-saff al-muqaddam bayna yaday Allaah (the foremost rank before Allaah). All of these views are weak (da’eef); if any of them were true then the word would be saffi or safaa’i or safawi, not sufi.
Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 11/195
Sufism (tasawwuf) did not appear until after the first three generations which the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) praised when he said, “The best of mankind is my generation, then those who come after them, then those who come after them…” (narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2652; Muslim, 2533; from the hadeeth of Ibn Mas’ood).
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
With regard to the word soofiyyah (Sufism), it was not known during the first three generations, rather it became known after that.
Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 11/5
This tareeqah and its like are among the innovated ways that go against the Qur’aan and Sunnah and the way followed by the best generations. All the shaykhs of these tareeqahs have made up their own wirds (phrases to be uttered as dhikr), hizb (books of du’aa’ to be read daily by their followers) and ways of worship by which each of them may be distinguished from the others; this goes against sharee’ah and divides the ummah.
Allaah has blessed this ummah by perfecting its religion and completing His Favour upon it, so everyone who comes up with an act of worship or a way that was not brought by sharee’ah is effectively rejecting what Allaah has said and accusing the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) of betraying the trust.
Along with this innovation of theirs, they may also be lying by claiming that they received their tareeqah from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), or that they are following the path and guidance of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs (al-khulafa’ al-raashideen).
The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked:
Is there any such thing in Islam as the numerous tareeqahs like the Shaadhilyyah, Khalwatiyyah etc? If there is such a thing, what is the evidence for that? What is the meaning of the verses in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And verily, this is My straight path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His path. This He has ordained for you that you may become Al‑Muttaqoon (the pious)”
[al-An’aam 6:153]
“And upon Allaah is the responsibility to explain the Straight Path. But there are ways that turn aside (such as Paganism, Judaism, Christianity). And had He willed, He would have guided you all (mankind)”
[al-Nahl 16:9]
What are the ways that separate people from the path of Allaah, and what is the way of Allaah? What is the meaning of the hadeeth narrated by Ibn Mas’ood, according to which the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) drew a line and said, “This is the path of guidance,” then he drew lines to its right and another to its left and said, “These are other paths and on each path there is a devil calling people to it”?
They answered:
There is no such thing in Islam as the tareeqahs that you mentioned, or anything else like them. What there is in Islam is what is indicated by the two verses and the hadeeth that you quoted, and what was indicated by the hadeeth in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The Jews split into seventy-one sects, and the Christians split into seventy-two sects. My ummah will split into seventy-three sects, all of which will be in Hell except one.” It was asked, “Who are they, O Messenger of Allaah?” He said, “Those who follow the same path as I and my companions are on today.” And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “A group among my ummah will continue to follow the truth and to be victorious, and they will not be harmed by those who forsake them or oppose them, until the command of Allaah comes to pass when they are like that.” The truth lies in following the Qur’aan and the saheeh, unambiguous Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). This is the path of Allaah, this is the Straight Path. This is the straight line mentioned in the hadeeth of Ibn Mas’ood, and this is what was followed by the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) (may Allaah be pleased with them and with their followers among the early generations (salaf) of this ummah, and with those who follow their path). All other tareeqahs or groups are the paths mentioned in the verse (interpretation of the meaning):
“… and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His path…”
[al-An’aam 6:153]

Result of accepting the Islamic truth:
"(It will be said to the believers of Islamic Monotheism): 'My slaves! No fear shall be on you this Day (Day of Judgement), nor shall you grieve. (You) who believed in Our ayat (proofs, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and were Muslims (i.e., who submit totally to Allah's Will, and believe in the Oneness of Allah). Enter Jannah (Paradise) you and your wives, in happiness.' Trays of gold and cups will be passed round them; (there will be) therein all that inner-selves could desire, and all that eyes could delight in and you will abide therein forever. This is the Jannah which you have been made to inherit because of your deeds (Good deeds) which you used to do (in the life of the world). Therein for you will be fruits in plenty, of which you will eat (as you desire)."
(Al-Qur'an 43:68-73)

"COVER ME! COVER ME!"
🌆Late one Monday night, just before sunrise at a night of Ramadan (August 10, 610 C.E.), an event transformed the life of the man chosen to deliver Allah’s Message, just as it would change the lives of countless beings, most of whom were yet to be born. According to the lunar calendar, Muhammad was forty years, six months and twelve days old, and according to the solar calendar, he was thirty-nine years, three months and twentytwo days old.
He was alone in the cave of Hira,⛰️ engaged in worshipping Allah just like he had done the previous two Ramadans. Aishah, who has narrated so many of the Prophet’s words and deeds, relates Muhammad’s transition from an ordinary man to someone who would forever be known simply as “the Prophet"
The Prophet first began to have revelations in the form of good dreams which came true. Then he began to like solitude. He would go to the cave of Hira and meditate there in solitude for a number of days and nights. He would take provisions with him to stay an extended period, and then he returned to Khadeejah. He would stock up again and go back to the cave. This was his practice until ‘Truth’ was revealed to him by an angel while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel said to him, “Read!"‼️

He would stock up again and go back to the cave. This was his practice until ‘Truth’ was revealed to him by an angel while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel said to him, “Read!"‼️
“I cannot read‼️,” Muhammad replied. The angel then took hold of him and pressed him until he could not endure it any longer. The angel let him go and said once again, “Read!‼️”
“I cannot read,‼️” Muhammad replied. The angel took hold of him a second time and pressed him until he could not endure it any longer. After letting him go, the angel said, “Read!‼️” I cannot read Muhammad repeated. For a third time, the angel took hold of him and said, “Read in the name of your Lord, the Creator. He Who created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Bounteous.”
The Prophet was terrified and his heart was pounding hard. He returned home to Khadeejah and said, “Cover me‼️ Cover me‼️” Khadeejah covered him and helped him calm down. He related what had happened in the cave, and said, “I fear that something has happened to me.”
“Never,” Khadeejah replied. “I swear by Allah, Allah would never disgrace you. You keep good relations with your family, help the feeble and destitute, serve your guests generously, and assist those who deserve help.”
Khadeejah then took the Prophet to her cousin, the old venerable Warqa bin Naufal. He knew Hebrew and was familiar with the Gospels, having left paganism for Christianity.
“O my cousin,” Khadeejah began. “Listen to your nephew.”
“What have you seen my nephew?” asked the old man. The Prophet told Waraqa what had happened in the cave. “The angel that was sent to you is the same angel that Allah sent to Musa. I wish I were young and could live to see the day your own people will drive you out of this city.” “Will they drive me out?” the Prophet asked.
“What have you seen my nephew?” asked the old man. The Prophet told Waraqa what had happened in the cave. “The angel that was sent to you is the same angel that Allah sent to Musa. I wish I were young and could live to see the day your own people will drive you out of this city.” “Will they drive me out?” the Prophet asked.
“Yes,” replied Naufal. “Never has a man brought something such as what you have without meeting with hostility. If I live to see the day you are expelled, I will support you with all my might.” A few days later, however, Waraqa died, and a long time passed before the Prophet received a second revelation.
The Qur’an tells us that the first revelation descended in
Ramadan on the “Night of Power.” “The month of Ramadan is the month in which the Qur’an was revealed.” (2: 185)
And: “We have indeed revealed this Message during the
Night of Power.” (97: 1)
