pet peeve: sufi sect

Posted under random, tasawwuf by rahma

I’ll say it one time, slowly

sufis

are

not

a

third

sect.

It’s not sunni, shia, sufi.  It’s sunnis who practice the science of tasawwuf, shias who practice the science of tasawwuf.  Are there groups of sufis who seperate themselves from Islam?  Sure.  But then they’re not a third group of muslims because they’re not muslim at all.

    Asalaamu alaikum.

    Oh thank you. Sadly, we can’t seem to say this enough either… Ya, dude, I’m still Sunni! :)
