NO EXCUSE!

I have read and heard many arguments from the Sufis, apart from their support for sihr (magic), the two main areas where they have misled many people is zuhd and dhikr. They distort and turn them upside down to mislead their blind followers.

However, as mentioned by Imam al Barbahaaree رحمه الله in his Sharh us Sunnah, Umar Ibn Al Khattab رضي الله عنه said: 

there is no excuse for anyone who mounts misguidance mistaking it for guidance or the one who leaves guidance mistaking it for misguidance. The religion has been explained, the evidence has been established and excuse has been cut off.

Sheikh Fawzan حفظه الله explained this very clearly in his explanation of Sharh us Sunnah. Reading it is like taking a sumptuous meal. But pondering on the rate of misguidance in our society will make you cry over the explanations given. It is as if the Sheikh resides with us here. Indeed, scholars are the doctors of this ummah.
