"Alas! In the present age, customs and innovations are in great prevalence. Nowadays such innovative customs are being regarded as Tasawwuf.

Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:

“Soon there will dawn an age over people when there will remain of Islam nothing but its name, and of the Qur’an there will remain nothing but its script.”

Shaving and trimming of the beard less than a fist-length and dragging the trousers below the ankles have become a “sign of the times.” Whereas none of the Ambiya or Auliya were clean-shaven nor would they drag their garments below their ankles. It is very unfortunate that people consider themselves treading the path of tasawwuf while they openly oppose the sunnah in their actions and appearance.

The pioneer of tasawwuf, Shaikh ut Tariqah and Imamut-Ta’ifah Junaid ibn Muhammad al-Baghdadi said: All the paths to Allah are blocked except the path of adherence to the sunnah of the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam."
