After reading your article and the letters, I have decided to send a financial contribution to Quilliam. I have been well acquainted with their work for a long time.

Here is the Quilliam Foundation’s report:

It needs refuting!

Particularly, how accurate is its use of Qur’an and Hadith?

They are a bunch of losers, begging for attention. What I don’t understand is how the government continues to fund an organization that has almost ZERO influence on the constituency (Muslims) that the organization is supposed to affect! Serious stupidity! I hope and pray that Islam Channel sues these charlatan, wins and gets a transfer of the government funds (through libel) to the Channel. Wouldn’t it be perfect (ironic) justice if Islam Channel ends up being funded by the government in this weird sort of way!!!

Looks like the Quilliam Foundation has decided to pursue this further!

Assalamu Alaykum,

I am really dismayed by these useless arguments between those who call themselves Sufis and those who call themselves Wahabis or followers of Sh Mohammad Ibn Abdul Wahab. Why all this? Why waste your time? What would you answer yam al qiyama when you are asked ‘how did you spend this time?’

I am from Africa, black Africa, and in Africa Islam and Tariqa are interchangeable, because Islam reached us through the Tariqas. But we do not have this hate I see here for the muslims who consider Sh. Mohamad Ibn AbdulWahab their Imam. None what so ever. I have never heard a Shaykh mention him in a bad or good way. The first time I heard the word ‘Wahabi’ was when I left my country. There is a big mosque in my country built by Saudi Arabia. Every Ramadan A Saudi Shaykh comes from Riyadh and gives lectures there. I have never heard anyone complaining about him although almost all the worshipers are followers of Tariqa.

Any fair muslim will know that Sufism enriched Islam either by spreading Islam to all corners of the world or by their poetry and litreture. Many of the Ulama of Islam were Sufis and the vast majority of the Ulama of Persia were Sufis, which unfortunately we lost. I sometimes say to myslef ‘if Iran remained Sunni maybe we would have had many Ghazalis’. The loss of Iran to Shiism is a great loss.

On the other hand, when I lived in Riyadh I never felt that I was not in a 100% Sunni country. In fact, I learnt a lot and Iam grateful and alhamdulilah that I spent time there.

Please stop this.

Wassalam,
Ahmed

umm… nearly all the scholars that supported him at his time were “Hanbali scholars that supported Muhammad ibn AbdilWahhaab” (rahmatullaah alayh). And there were many… you are only looking at those who were against him.

Also, it is interesting how you are defining a “real” Hanbali scholar. I suppose that, according to you, a “real” Hanbali is any Hanbali against “Wahhabis,” and a “fake” Hanbali is any Hanbali that supported AbdalWahhaab. hmm… interesting circular logic…

Modern day Sufism has myriad of strands and it is hard to deficer those who attempt to uphold the zahid values of the salaf or the consequent deviants that came long longer with their brand of tasawwuf and other heresies like pantheism and fana etc. The latter category belongs in separate cult/religion bracket.

I have come across sufis who have no regard for the Sunnah (some who have no regard for the Qur’an), they care very less for what is saheeh and what is da’eef; rather they claim to have a hotline to Allah (so to speak) and therefore no need to be bound by the limits of shari’ah when it comes to having correct beliefs and practises.

I do not even have to list the number of sites that disprove this category of sufism. Ibn Jawzi’s Talbis Iblis would be a good place to start.
