I left a sufi cult over 20 years ago and almost left Islam so I understand what he is saying and the reality is that a lot of these Sufi cults which is widespread isn't good at all - my old friend is sucked and brainwashed into one which caused our friendship to dissolve and he is getting messed up more and more while my eemaan and ibadah became stronger. Alhamdulillah I was lucky that I connected with a few amazing brothers who helped me and they have beautiful akhlaaq and knowledge - and to this day they are still my best friends in the deen of Islam

This is eye opening and much needed, jazakAllaahu khyr

Same - I also had a terribly traumatic experience and it wasn't the sheikh but the mureed who really were dangerous. The Sheikh doesn't 'police' the mureed or censor their behaviour. So in some ways people can get away with abusing others with no consequences for whether they will be allowed to remain and even speak on behalf of tariqa. I would recommend people to stay away from these spaces, they aren't what they were traditionally and because there is no way to safe guard what goes on, it is a free for all. I also noted that the majority of people who gravited towards them have mental health issues and existing traumas. If you are only there to learn - you still end up having to deal with a soup of negative, toxic, disturbing behaviours of those around you in the process.

I left a salafi cult 20 years ago they were practicing the cancel culture in their own way which made it difficult to step away, Alhamdulillah

Very brave. I know exactly who he's talking about. He's 100% on point on this topic.

Now i don't know the complete picture.. But fatwa was issued against Peer Zulfiqar Ahmed Nqashbandi by Dar ul loom by non other than Mufti Taqi Usmani... Shiekh hussein has allegedly since broken his chain with Peer Zulfiqar reflectd by the fact that Sheikh Hussein deleted all material related to Peer Zulfiqar on his web site all names and mostly all audio lectures... What this persons story is this. m.facebook.com/yousuf.s.azhar/posts/2336143769997137?__tn__=K-R.. What is the real Truth.. Only Allah knows... But i was deeply shocked and saddened when i heard all this.

To demand unquestioning trust within a power relationship in which the most powerful demands unquestioning trust from the less powerful, is inherently abusive, A true spiritual relationship is to be encouraged to question every action, motivation and genuine spiritual wisdom of the 'spiritual' leader within the relationship.

This is why giving bayah is an extremely dangerous innovation which eventually leads to hidden shirk, Khalifah's , sheikhs, imams are all subject to sin or mistakes, even messengers (minor sins - saghaa’ir) this is why you sending our duas upon the prophets and sahaba is important. why these things happen is because some so called imams are put on a high pedestal. May Allah forgive them for All their sins major & minor, May Allah guide them and us all.

Just a correction Prophets are infallible, they do not sin, sending duas to them is for our sake not theirs. Allah won't be sending sinners down to guide humanity but rather the best of human beings, and the best of them and the highest level of perfection in regards to a human being is the Prophet (pbuh).

Would change the title to sufi cult, as it is more specific. There are pseudo-salafi cults too. Shaykh Asrar of Birmingham has some very excellent content on Sufi cults in English.

Allah huma barik. These sufi clowns need to be refuted throughly and need to be shamed publicly

I converted joon a sufi group a big 1 was fine on the beginning but then it started to feel like a cult the sheikh worship was too much i now dobt practice at all

I ask Allah subhanahu wa taala to help us to hold in our iman steadfast. I have to remember no one infallable or perfect except the messengers. And unfortunately cults like Sufi are whom devastaing and damaging the image of islam, but the wise people understand that there are misguided people and righteous ones in Islam.

Sufi are not damaging Islam but Muslims are becoming more worldly. As for Sufi Look at the great work Sufi have done in the last 1400 yes around the world how many people they have converted to Islam. You only have to look at the history books.

Not all Sufi. Sufism was simply supposed to be the pursuit of excellence in your belief and deeds. Not all these extra things that were added later.

Sufism isn't a cukt!

I think it's important to understand what is spiritual teachers role and what is the role of a student. Most teachers expect certain amount of trust be it spiritual or not, political groups have their issues dawah groups have their issues The point is it's the age we live in, trust is important when learning just like we send our children to school trusting that the institution is going to protect our children but we find there are instances when that trust is broken however we don't close the entire institution. It's important not to have blind trust in anyone which means you have to know the sheikh Is he following the example of the Prophet (pbuh) is the most important fact and not just be impressed by the numbers. Submission trust isn't wrong it's who you submit trust that's important.

You know Sufism isn't like this!
