بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِِ

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

Imam al-Shafi`i said:

faqihan wa sufiyyan fa kun laysa wahidan
fa inni wa haqqillahi iyyaka ansahu

(Be both) a faqih and a sufi: do not be only one of them,
Verily, by Allah’s truth, I am advising you sincerely.
[al-Shafi`i, Diwan, (Beirut and Damascus: Dar al-fikr) p. 47]

Imam al-Shafi`i also said:

I accompanied the Sufis and received from them but three words: their statement that time is a sword: if you do not cut it, it cuts you; their statement that if you do not keep your ego busy with truth it will keep you busy with falsehood; their statement that deprivation is immunity.
(bn al-Qayyim in his Madarij al-salikin (3:128) and al- Suyuti in his Ta’yid al-haqiqa al-`aliyya (p. 15)

    Do you also have the words of Imam Shafi’ee on Ilm al Kalaam where he says:’Run away from Kalaam like you run away from a lion.” This is a clearly proof for that Imam Shafi’ee warned his students from studiying ilm kalaam, why then the most pseudo-followers of the end time don’t listen to his command and they did study ilm kalaam??!? Why don’t they listen to the salaf?! Why making all this problems for the Ummah?!? Studying crap of the greek homosexual filosofers and toxic the whole Ummah with it centuries long?!?!
