Is Sufi Islam a compromise with Indian Culture?

It is not new … it has been hidden from view … the same need to develop schools of aqeedah, and the schools of fiqh is the need to develop the schools of tassuwwuf because by learning just aqeedah and fiqh something is lost … the completion is the three areas … and that for us is enough solace in the idea that the three have been mentioned as questions by Jibreel (AS) … Yes, tasswwuf naturally evolved just like the other schools but what came a few hundred years ago was an unnatural thing … it was a voice that shunned tasswwuf schools and systematically undermined them … and this voice gained so much more momentum when they found money to fuel and propagate their voice … mind the pun … Only in the past hundred or two hundred years has such confusion become commonplace and before that traditional Islam was known by all three of these. There have been detractors throughout history … but they were not majority at all …

ok here is what i get. tassuwaf is just like another school of aqeedah, or just like school aqeedah was introduced, so the tassuwaf is.
tassuwaf was hidden from the view and it was openly practised untill before 1 or2 hundred years, yet you could not find any source that suggets that it was there since the appearance of Islam.
