The method
0:12
Among the Sufis, it is
0:14
to follow a specific shaykh in the manner of remembrance and worship.
0:18
This is what distinguishes the Sufis from others.
0:22
This is an innovation that contradicts the methodology of the salaf,
0:25
who had no one to follow except the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:31
And the Rightly Guided Caliphs after him,
0:34
whom the Messenger himself, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
0:38
commanded to follow their Sunnah.
0:41
The Sufis rely for their chain of transmission to the shaykh
0:44
on the khirqah (robe) which they boast about,
0:48
as one of them says:
0:50
"If they confront us with the knowledge of al-Waraqi [a scholar],
0:53
we will confront them with the knowledge of al-Kharaqi [a Sufi shaykh]."
