Sufi Islam is the mystical dimension of Islam which focuses on inner spirituality and inner piety. Throughout history , Sunni Islam looked Sufi Islam with suspicion. Many Muslims would see Sufis and followers of Sufi Islam as "heretics" ... Sufi Islam , and the great Sufi saints , produced some of the world's most spiritually uplifted poetry. Islam in South Asia spread due to the great Punjabi and Sindhi Sufi saints of the region...

So what are your views of Sufi Islam? Leaving aside the extreme practices of some people , like bowing at the graves of Sufi saints , how you view Sufis?

Thanks....

There is no such thing as "Sufi Islam". Tasawwuf is a branch of Islamic science, like the study of ahadith, tafsir, etc. Sufis are not a sect. It is not a "different approach" it's just another name for Tazikiyyah/Ihsan. Many deviants have usurped the title of Sufi, these are the people Ahlus Sunnah wal Jammah have always had a problem with. You have no idea what you are talking about, and are here yet again spreading misguidance.

Sufism is a branch of Islam focusing on inner purity as well as experiencing spiritual openings.

Poll options are too limited to vote for.

Fake sufees goal is money, name and fame.

The real sufees goal is tazkiyah and ihsaan.

The people who differ with sufees just want to stick to the rule book, skeleton of Islam is their goal (any one can watch them and decide). Then how can they appreciate sufees.

There is no Sufi Islam. There is Islam and Tassawuf is part of it. Some actively practice it and some ignores it!

The only valid option in the poll is the last one since the OP fails to realize that Sufism is part of Islam and just how there are deviant Muslims, there are deviant "Sufis".

Tasawwuf is one way to reach closeness to the Creator just like it can happen if you do Jihad, sit in company of scholars,etc.

Other members have also pointed out how polls options are flawed but to tell him to "grow up" is not really constructive.
