The job of the sufis have historically been to " promote" the spread of Islam through peace , love and spiritualism , and they have millions of followers in India , Pakistan , BD - all over South Asia. They are intensely religious men who segregate from mainstream society to immerse themselves in prayers and revered as saints.If this is not a respected occupation then dont know what is ....
And till date we haven't heard of any fatwa , decree or edict issued against a sufi saint by any scholar of any denomination....not even the Deobandis of Lucknow , the most widely followed Muslim sect in the subcontinent. ( Taliban edicts dont count ).
A man was staying in Masjid and Praying all day. Kalifa Omar has noticed that man's unusual behavior, got mad and threw him out of Masjid and told him to get to work.
Islam is way of life and being a good muslim required to work, earn and provide for family. Meanig family life is as important as pray to Allah. Only praying and living on donation is anything but Islamic.
Now, what is this so called mordern day sufi does beside jerk around grave yard and smoke ganja? Absuletly nothing.
I personally do not called Islamic scholor like M Chishti sufi. All I know he came to sub continent with message of Allah and we pray for his departed soul. May Allah bless them but mordern day ganjakoor sufi needs to be kicedk and force them to get jobs. No space for these haramkoor in our society.I salute maulana for the curage.
