'' Whosoever relates himself to a Shaykh, in one way or another thinking that his relationship will free him from something in the shari'ah, is sorely mistaken. Tasawwuf is not about wearing the patched up wool, weeping when singers sing, shouting, dancing or enjoying 'these things,' nor is it about behaving like a madman; rather tasawwuf is about being pure without turbidity & following the Haqq, the Qur'an, din, And humbling thyself to Allah Almighty feeling unworthy & sad, of having committed sins throughout life.'' 'Pasban-e-Shari'ah' ... Fortunate be the Sinners; the Prophet's love is vibrant, ...

''Tasawwuf is a long journey leading to the Infinite One and demands unending efforts. It is a marathon to be run without stopping with an unyielding resolution and without anticipating anything worldly. It has nothing to do with Western or Eastern types of mysticism or yogism or philosophies'' ''Sufism is the internal mystical dimension of 'Islam', and not
a catchall or generic term for any and all kinds of esotericism, gnosticism or mysticism. In the same way that Sufism exists at the very heart of Islam, so too all the earlier dispensations have had, and do have, their own unique mystical dimension. It is, however, a mistake to call the mystical dimension of another tradition or religion "Sufism"' ! ''Just as Kabbala is a mystical dimension of Judaism, or Tantra
is an esoteric dimension of Hinduism, or Zen is an esoteric dimension of Buddhism, Sufism is the mystical dimension of Islam, and one cannot rightly say that it is the mystical, esoteric, gnostic dimension of any religion other than Islam. Neither is Sufism something isolated unto itself nor is it a new religion. If one is a Dominican, one is by definition a Christian, just as if one is a Chassid, one cannot really be anything else but a Jew. Similarly it is not possible to be a Sufi unless one is a Muslim.'' ''Many of the ignorant think that the Sufis are lax in conforming
to Shari'a. Far be it from them to be attributed such a belief! The very first foundation of their path is the Sunnah and the avoidance of what contravenes it!''
