Ibn tammiyah(RA) was not the only who criticizes sufism. Of course what wrong is wrong.
But to say all is wrong is not correct. As there so many other sufies like
1.Imam Ghazali- he criticizes philosophical thoughts of his own time and he actually write down a book "Tahaftul-philasphah". And about this book an english scholar said "Philophy was trembling with the attacks of Ghazali until ibn-rushd came and he stood it again."
All it means he was scholar and sufi.
2. Sheikh abdul qadir jelani(RA) he was a great scholar and sufi.
3. Hazrat hassan basri(RA)- one of the chain of sufi starts from Hazrat hassan(RA) but no one can say they dont follow religion.
But kind of sufism is Haram is what is practicing in Pakistan and India. I live there so i know. If you are unemployed and you do not find any job simply do things
1. Wear a crazy dress
2.Sit down close to any grave or under a tree.
You should be consistent. After 2 months you will be rich. Because people will call you sufi. But this attitude is from those people who really do not know about Islam. But there are people who are very restricted about Islam and really true Muslim and they are Sufi.
All great Ulama of Deoband deny the concept of "Wahdat-u-wojood".
But i really do not like these kind of threads. Non-believers are attacking on us and killing our brothers and we are discussing who is in the domain of Islam or who is not.
