sufis of Qadri cult believe that sharia is what you murshid ask to do. comparatively modern qadri sufis condemn sharia. a sufi Hafiz muhammad ijaz said that you should follow your peer even if he ask you to drink vine while offering prayer. all the cults are found in punjab except suharwardi cult , i guess. chisti and naqshbandi cult are followed by some groups from deobandi and brelvi school of thought . but apprently i didnt find any difference among three cult being followed in punjab. deobandi sufis tends to avoid music though.

First of all brother a Tariqah does not qualify as a cult … And secondly if a murshid asks his mureeds to go against the shari’ah that is grounds to leave him … Why not get proper information about tassuwwuf from people who claim to be from it rather than bringing second hand information? Music is a different matter … A very detailed discussion is given by a Shadhili Shaykh named Nuh Ha Meem Keller … And the first sentence he says is ‘in the general sense music is forbidden’ … So sincerity is important here … I was looking for a way to remove bad characteristics, anger and arrogance and I didn’t find the non-Sufis presenting me with solutions to them … So if what you say is true that all the good things that Sufis do are already found in Salafis … Then please use that ‘sincerity’ to gain correct and ratified information about others … Go to the Sufi scholars and ask them …anything less than that is unfair.
