No God didn't specify the way we read the Namaz, Prophet did. There was some confusion as to how you would gather people for worship and Abu Bakr Suggested that we have horns or bells to gather people to worship and the Prophet said no we'll have a Muizzin call out a prayer. Thus the act of worship was invented.
Read surah Al ma'ida - where quran quote Essa ( A.S) saying - I said to them nothing but what You ordered me to say ... Thus prophets only say / order things to do , which are conveyed to them by Allah ...
Adam and Eve’s mornings sons married their evening sisters. Should we start that sunnat of Peophet Adam again? What was allowed in one prophet’s shariat is not always an allowable in the shariat of Prophet Mohammad

^- So you don't think Allah swt told the Prophet to read Namaz/the way to read Namaz which the Prophet then told us?
i am not mocking sufusm, just the dance practice, cause that is, no matter how you put it, against what islam teaches us.
So would you mock Matam by Shias? Or the lack of the Matam by the Sunnis? Would you mock the Ahmadi school of thought?
Because technically, there are arguments for or against (However flawed one might think) each school of thought.
So you wouldn't be mocking the sect, but their practices.
Do you see where I'm going with this?
I may not believe in something the person next to me does but that doesn't mean I'm entitled to mock them.
so are there societies who follow this no-music no-dance version of islam? it is really hard to picture any culture that doesnt celebrate with song and dance..

It's more of a cultural thing I suppose. Islam does not require a muslim to dance to please God or to make a connection with Him. Forms of worship are well defined: namaz and zikr. But definitely not dance.

They aren't celebrating, this is a form of worship for them which is why it's controversional. "I'm doing this for Allah" is what people object to. Google sufi whirling and the word "dhikr" (remembrance of Allah) will come up over and over again. If you wanna whirl to forget about the world around you and focus on your inner self or whatever, do so by all means. But what's dhikr got to do with whirling/dancing/singing is what I don't understand. It's not prayer or dhikr, it's just whirling, plain and simple.
that is not school of thought of Islam. Both Sunni and Shais are agreed on it.
