Tajuddin as-an-Na'eem Mu'eed Subki, p. 190, in tasauf: "May Allah praise them and greeted them and made us with them in heaven. Many things have been said about them and too many stupid people who say things that do not relate to them. And the truth is that they leave the world and

Ibn Taymiyya (661-728 CE H./1263-1328) Majmaca Fatawa Ibn Taymiyya, Dar ar-Rahmat, Cairo,
Vol, 11, page 497, Book of Tasawwuf: "You must know that the sheikh sheikh-guided should be taken as a guide and example in religion, because they follow in the footsteps of the Prophets and Apostles. Tariqat sheikhs is to summon people to the presence of God and obedience to the Prophet. "

Also in the case of 499: "The sheikh's where we need to take as a coach is our example and we should follow them. Because when we are in the Hajj, we need instructions (agent) to reach the Ka 'bah, the sheikh is our guide (agent) to Allah and our Prophet.

Among the sheikh he calls is: Ibrahim ibn Adham, Ma'ruf al-Karkhi, Hasan al-Basri, Rabia al-Adawiyya, Junaid ibn Muhammad, Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani, Shaikh Ahmad ar-Rafa'i, and Shaikh Bayazid al-Bistami. Ibn Taymiyya quoting Bayazid al-Bistami at 510, Volume 10: "... great Shaykh, Bayazid al-Bistami, and the famous story of when he saw God in Kashef and he said to him," My God, how the path to You? ". And God replied: 'Leave yourself and come unto me ".

Taymiah melanjutakan quotes Ibn al-Bistami Bayazid, "I came out of me like a snake out of his skin". Implicit from this quotation is an indication of the need Zuhd (self-denial or the denial of the life of the world), as the path followed Bayazid al-Bistami (tariqah Naqshbandi Murshid).

We see from the quotation above that received a lot of Shaykh Ibn Taymiah by quoting it and asking people to follow his guidance to demonstrate how to obey Allah and the Prophet saas.

What is said about the term Tasawwuf Ibn Taymiah:

Here is the opinion of Ibn Tamiah about Tasawwuf definition of strained, Whether you are gold or gold-plated copper. "Sanai. Following is what Ibn Taymiyya said about the definition of Tasawwuf, from Volume 11, At-Tasawwuf, of Majmu'a Fatawa Ibn

Taymiyya al-Kubra, Dar ar-Rahmah, Cairo: "Alhamdulillah, the use of the word tasauf has been discussed in depth. This is the term given to matters relating to the branch of science (an-nafs tazkiyat and Ihsan). "" Tasawwuf is the science of facts and circumstances of the experience. Sufi is a person who purifies himself from anything that turns from the remembrance of Allah and those who fill themselves with the heart of science and the science of mind in which the price of gold and stone are the same for him.

Tasawwuf keeping the meanings of high and left to seek fame and egoism
reach a state full of Truth. The best human beings after Prophets are Shidiqin, as mentioned God: "And whoever adhere Allah and His Messenger (Him), they would be together with people who ni'mat endowed by God, namely: the Prophet, the shiddiqqiin, those who were martyred and the pious. And they are the friends
the best of it. (Surah 4:69) "He went about Sufis," they seek to obey God .. So that from them you will find they are at the forefront (sabiqunas-sabiqun) due to their efforts. And some of the Companions of the Right (ashabus-syimal). "

Imam Ibn Qayyim (d. 751 CE H./1350) Imam Ibn Qayyim states that, "We menyasikan tasawwuf greatness of the people in view of how the salaf who has been called by by Sufyan ath-Thawri (d. 161 CE H./777) . One of the greatest priests of the second century and one of the leading mujtahid, he said: "If it were not for Abu Hisham as-Sufi (d. 115 CE H./733) I never knew a little hypocritical (riya ') in (Manazil as-Sa'ireen). Ibn Qayyim continued: "Among the best is the Sufis who studies fiqh"

'Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn' Abd al-Wahhab (1115-1201 H./1703-1787 CE) From Muhammad ar Nu'mani Man's book (p. 85), Ad-ia'at Mukaththafa Didd al-Shaikh al-Mu ammad ibn ' Abdul
Wahhab: "Shaikh 'Abdullah, the son of shaikh Muhammad ibn' Abdul Wahhab, said about Tasawwuf: 'My son and I never reject or criticize the science of tasawwuf, but on the contrary we support it because he was both born and inner cleansing from sin hidden associated with liver and inner form. Although one may be born right, maybe wrong in spirit, and to fix tasauf necessary. "

In volume 5 of Muhammad ibn 'Abdul Wahhab al-Rasa'il entitled ash-Shakhsiyya, p. 11, as well as anything. 12, 61, and 64 he stated: "I never accused the pagans of Ibn 'Arabi Ibn al-Fari or for interpretations sufinya"

Ibn 'Abidin, great scholar, Ibn' Abidin in Rasa'il Ibn cAbidin (p. 172-173) states: "The search path is not heard except the Divine Presence and they do not love other than Him. If they remember Him they cry. If they think of him they are happy. If they found him they are aware. If they saw him, they'll calm down. If they walked role in the Divine Presence, they become soft. They are drunk with His mercy. May God have mercy on them ". [Majallat al-Muslim, 6th ed., 1378 H, p. 24].

Shaikh Rashad Rida, he said, "tasawwuf is one of the pillars of the pillars of religion. The goal is to clean up and account for daily behavior and to raise people to higher spiritual stations "[Majallat al-Manar, 1st year, p. 726].

Maulana Abul Hasan 'Ali an-Nadwi, Maulana Abul Hasan' Ali an-Nadwi members of the Islamic-Arabic Society of India and Muslim countries. In, Muslims in India,, p. 140-146, "The Sufis are giving initiation (allegiance) in humans into the oneness of Allah and sincerity in following the Sunnah of the Prophet and the regret the error and in avoiding any ma'siat to Allah SWT. Hint they stimulate people to move to the streets full of love to God "

"In Calcutta, India, more than 1000 people took initiation (allegiance) into Sufism" "We are grateful for the influence of Sufi people, thousands and hundreds of thousands of people in India found Tuham they see themselves and reach perfection through the Islamic state"

Abul 'Ala Mawdudi, the Mabadi' al-Islam (p. 17), "Tasawwuf is the fact that the sign is the love of Allah and the Messenger of Allah, in which someone negate themselves because their goal (of Love), and negate one of everything than love of God and the Prophet ". "Tasawwuf looking for sincerity, and truth cleanse intention to obey in all his actions."

Summarily
Tasawwuf, past and present, is an effective tool for spreading the truth of Islam, expanding knowledge and spiritual understanding, and enhance the happiness and peace. With it people can find themselves sendir and, thus, found his Lord. With it people can improve, change and raise yourself and get salvation from ignorance and from the temptations of the world the beauty of the material. And God who knows the intentions of His servants.
