If the Sahabah had the Quran and Sunnah, why add anything more?
When Allah chose the best of mankind to be the Companions of His Final Messenger (peace be upon him), He gave them the complete religion. The Qur’an was revealed, and the Sunnah was taught openly, clearly, and perfectly. So ask yourself:
Did Abū Bakr need a Sufi shaykh to unlock hidden meanings?
Did ʿUmar engage in secret spiritual rituals unknown to the rest of the Ummah?
Did ʿUthmān chant dhikr formulas silently passed down through veiled chains?
Did ʿAlī ever say, “This is only for the elite of the elite”?
Never.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“I have not left anything that brings you closer to Paradise or distances you from Hell except that I have made it clear to you.”
So what are the Sufis trying to “unlock”?
What is it they claim is missing… that the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his Companions supposedly didn’t have?
When the best generation had only the Qur’an and Sunnah, that was enough. It was complete. It was final. To suggest otherwise is to imply deficiency in their guidance—and that is a dangerous road to tread.
Sufism adds what the Prophet (peace be upon him) never brought.
It invents what the Companions never practiced.
It hides what Islam made public.
Return to the original Islam. Return to the clear, pure, open path of the Salaf.
