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.

As for as types of Sufism is concern, there are two general types of Sufism, type1 and type2. you may belong to type1 Sufism. But i have different argument for either type Sufism. Maybe you didn’t notice the difference of my argument i given to you and my argument for those people Muqa and Ali was talking about. And the Sufis belong to type2 persistently claims that they are right unlike you are trying to prove type1 is right. As for as I know the tassuwaf and people belong to it have never tried to highlight this difference on any front. That makes me feel that the boundary between these two types is faded.

By the end of the day, what will count is Taqwa and our aamaal.
