Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:09.050 --> 00:00:12.130
The method

00:00:12.130 --> 00:00:14.029
Among the Sufis, it is

00:00:14.029 --> 00:00:18.829
to follow a specific shaykh in the manner of remembrance and worship.

00:00:18.829 --> 00:00:22.629
This is what distinguishes the Sufis from others.

00:00:22.629 --> 00:00:25.929
This is an innovation that contradicts the methodology of the salaf,

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.

00:00:31.829 --> 00:00:34.829
And the Rightly Guided Caliphs after him,

00:00:34.829 --> 00:00:38.630
whom the Messenger himself, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:00:38.630 --> 00:00:41.189
commanded to follow their Sunnah.

00:00:41.189 --> 00:00:44.689
The Sufis rely for their chain of transmission to the shaykh

00:00:44.689 --> 00:00:48.390
on the khirqah (robe) which they boast about,

00:00:48.390 --> 00:00:50.990
as one of them says:

00:00:50.990 --> 00:00:53.990
"If they confront us with the knowledge of al-Waraqi [a scholar],

00:00:53.990 --> 00:00:58.560
we will confront them with the knowledge of al-Kharaqi [a Sufi shaykh]."
