Brother Aspirer, one question.

Do we need Ibn Taymiyyah's approval of Tasawwuf practices, in order for them to be correct?
I would have thought you would ask "Where from the hadeeth of Nabee SAW are these practices approved of?". That would have been more worthy of your ideology.

You're not the first, or last one, to oppose tasawwuf.
The book by Hazrat Sheikh should have been sufficient for you (just in case you're wondering, I'm not from the sub-continent). If it was not, it's unfortunate.

My only advice, is that silence is better than mistakes in judgment.

If you are mistaken in your judgment, when standing in front of Allah ta'alaa, or after being buried in your grave, the sincerity in searching for truth will not be sufficient to justify criticism, slander etc...with silence however, one can not go wrong.

One of the principles of the people of tasawwuf, is for one to get busy in his own affairs, and in improving his spirituality...searching for the faults of the "Sufis" will not help you in that matter. Not to mention the hadeeth of Nabee SAW in Abu Dawud that prohibits from searching into the faults of the Muslims.

In your criciticism of people of Tasawwuf, people with your ideology have not left anyone from East to West.

May Allah ta'alaa grant us tawfeeq.
