ITT: Sufism

Do you believe mohammed flew on a horse to heaven or do only salafis believe that?

India.

Personally, quite a bit. It's because I'm serious about it. Abstinence, practising zikr, there's some other things too. Toughest aspect, for me, has been resigning everything to God. Not that I have, I'm still trying to perfect it.

It is in salafi Islam. But there's a lot of traditional Sufi literature condoning it. Even Sufis who didn't partake in sama weren't against it, provided if only it was for spiritual purposes.
That is a big if.

It's supposed to be a different animal and yes.
There's a common misconception that Sufis are unislamic. That's preposterous. You go from Sharia to Tariqa. Hence, a sufi must perfectly adhere to Islamic law.
And all Sufis have.

I believe in the sunnah.

Thanks for the answer even though it is kinda disheartening because I thought your sufis would take the written word less literal with your teachings about outer and inner meaning etc.

Its ridiculous and makes polytheist theology look just as reasonable in comparison...

>makes polytheist theology look just as reasonable in comparison
Polytheist theology is far more reasonable in general.

Not if you take it literal.
"And then Enki-god of beer, humans and freshwater, bit of his fathers penis and got pregnant from it birthing..."

Why do you get so close minded when you hear about something you don't like?

Its because the people who hold this something I dont like as an opinion believe it to be backed by objective moral supremacy and thus cause great strife with the ones who do not share this notion backed by not wven the simplest of reasoning as it is the case with other laws of faith.

My closed mind comes from disgust by ignorance and undeserved pride, slowly shifting into active resent as the worldview I dont like threatens to swallow up others by force and not by persuation.

...

Its not about tipping my fedorah.
I respect a christian who can explain the trinity and why god made himself flesh.
I respect a buddhist arguing about the composition of a deity and how it is tied into that whole reincarnation thing.

I cannot respect a myth with no reasoning or explanation whatsoever behind it being in some way a contestor for being part of the absolute truth.

Its as savage-tier as believing god thrones in the clouds as opposed to not everywhere were creation is not or being materialized in it universally, just take ab eyample concerning primitive vs sophisticated beliefs.

Nobody takes it literally though, which is why it is more reasonable.

No thank you

I respect the Jewish beliefs about God, they're extremely interesting IMO, and once you understand the Jewish beliefs Christian beliefs fall into place a lot more accurately. It's a lot harder to make sense of Christianity without knowing them.
