Is Sufi Islam a compromise with Indian Culture?

@psyah

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.

One more thing left that i should have responded to.
salfis are more rigid then hanafis on the whole. but i personally have come across several saflis that are very kind in dealing and preaching unlike majority of salfis. So they do share these qualities. Similarly i also have come across several hanifis who are equally rigid as majority safis is.
