Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

2
00:00:09,050 --> 00:00:12,130
The method

3
00:00:12,130 --> 00:00:14,029
Among the Sufis, it is

4
00:00:14,029 --> 00:00:18,829
to follow a specific shaykh in the manner of remembrance and worship.

5
00:00:18,829 --> 00:00:22,629
This is what distinguishes the Sufis from others.

6
00:00:22,629 --> 00:00:25,929
This is an innovation that contradicts the methodology of the salaf,

7
00:00:25,929 --> 00:00:31,629
who had no one to follow except the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

8
00:00:31,829 --> 00:00:34,829
And the Rightly Guided Caliphs after him,

9
00:00:34,829 --> 00:00:38,630
whom the Messenger himself, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

10
00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:41,189
commanded to follow their Sunnah.

11
00:00:41,189 --> 00:00:44,689
The Sufis rely for their chain of transmission to the shaykh

12
00:00:44,689 --> 00:00:48,390
on the khirqah (robe) which they boast about,

13
00:00:48,390 --> 00:00:50,990
as one of them says:

14
00:00:50,990 --> 00:00:53,990
"If they confront us with the knowledge of al-Waraqi [a scholar],

15
00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:58,560
we will confront them with the knowledge of al-Kharaqi [a Sufi shaykh]."
