ANSWER Sheikh Ahmad Kutty 22 March, 2022 In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.  All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger. In this fatwa: If a certain Sufi practice or custom is opposed to the prescribed criteria of the Shariah as enshrined in the Quran and the Sunnah, it shall be judged as un-Islamic; if, however, it agrees with these criteria it shall be judged as perfectly Islamic.

 1 The Origin and Evolution of Sufism  By Dr. Farida Khanam  Sufism (tasawwuf) is the name given to mysticism in Islam. The term is taken from the root word in Arabic ‘suf’ which means ‘wool’.1 It basically denoted the ones who denounced the world, chose a mystic way of life and wore coarse woolen clothes. The explanation for this is also found in the oldest extant Arabic treatise on Sufism by Abu Nasr al-Saraj, who declared that “the woolen raiment is the habit of the prophets and the batch of the saints and elect”.2 This act of devoting oneself to a mystic life is called ‘sufism’ in Islam. Sufis themselves prefer to say that their name is derived from ‘safa’ which meant ‘purity’.3 The term Sufism embraces the philosophy and practices which aim at direct communion between God and man, and those who practice these are called Sufis. According to Khaliq Ahmad Nizami4 , those who devoted their lives to religious studies and religious devotion after the times of the tabii were called zahid

Importance of Unity in Islam admin January 23, 2020 Islam is a religion of peace that lays great emphasis upon mutual understanding and love among fellow Muslims. Great stress is laid upon the unity and development of brotherhood among fellow Muslim brothers. In the eyes of Allah, all Muslims are equal and no superiority is given to anyone on the basis of colour, caste, and creed. All historical experiences and also the holy sources of Islam urge us to establish unity and develop close ties and improve cooperation amongst ourselves as Muslims. Allah says: وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنتُمْ أَعْدَاءً فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُم بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانًا “Hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. Remember the favour of Allah upon you, when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became brothers by his favour.”  (Surat Ali Imran 3:103) The entire wor

  The various sects in Islam which weakens the Muslims community . Introduction The purpose of this chapter is to understand how seven different sects in Islam, namely Sunni, Shia, Whabbi, Salafi, Berelvi, Sufi and Deobandi (Seven Sects) have different perspectives on creativity in Islam. 1  As Islam is a complete way of life and the religious, financial and political platforms must be part of the assessment of creativity.

The  Ulemas  will provide a unique insight into their understanding and interpretations of Islamic scriptures and texts in relation to creativity and how their perceptions and practices of differing Isl
