The Cause of the Sufis' Misguidance in Love
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh (may Allah grant you success) said: This questioner asks: Is it true that the cause of the Sufis' misguidance is that they are misguided in their love and do not fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?
Answer:
Allah did not prescribe Sufism, so they are acting upon something that Allah did not prescribe. Sufism is not prescribed by Allah; it is from the monasticism that the Christians innovated.
