Giving
alms is not essential in Sufism, one may give, may not give, it is
immaterial for the enlightenment of the inner spirit. While begging
Sufi ascetics always utter, "One who gives be blessed by Khudaa
and one who does not give be also blessed by Khudaa".
Sufism recommended
Pilgrimage to the Dargas or mausoleum but Pilgrimage to Mecca not
essential.
One
person founded Islam by name Mohammad of Arabia. Sufism has no
founder. This practice traces its roots to distant past of Turkey and
Persia. Some recommend Maggi cult was origin of Sufism.
Islam disregards
other religions and faiths. Sufism remains sympathetically
indifferent to any faith or concerns with any.
Islam
is based on fanatic preaching, Sufism preaching is not based on
fanaticism. Hatred is the mainstream policy of Islam while dealing
with other religions. Sufism rejects all types of hatred to any one
or anything. In other words teeth to show of Islam are different from
teeth to eat; Sufism has the same teeth both for show and eating.
Islam
insists for acceptance of Arabic rituals and such practices of Arab
people by all. In other words Islam is used to spread Arabic identity
to other people and if they do not accept it they are tortured. Islam
talks of love all the time but actually it encourages hatred.
Sufism
respects rituals and such traditional practices of local people and
does not insist for anything Arabic. Original Sufi are from parts of
ancient Persian empire and they do not have any special concern for
anything Arabic.
Islam recommends
laws for ethics and morality called, Sharia.
Sufism
does not have any such recommendations they believe in the
consciousness of good values by the seeker.
Islam
condemns singing. Sufism encourages singing devotional songs in
praise of the inner consciousness or Khudaa. Kawwali is famous style
of singing in India and Pakistan. Some
Sufi orders engage in ritualized rumination ceremonies, Sema. Sema
includes various forms of worship such as: recitation, singing (the
most well known being the Kawwali
music
of the Indian subcontinent), instrumental music, dance (most famously
is the typical Sufi whirling of the Mevlevi order), incense,
meditation, ecstasy, and trance. All these practices are against the
tenet of Islam.
Islam
believes in killing antagonist with maximum cruelty. Sufism believes
in winning over by love. Sufi reject any cruelty to other people on
any pretext.
