What's wrong in Shaykh riding a Hummer? Are you trying to equate Tasawwuf with renouncing the good things of the world?

Assalaam'aaleykum!


i hope you are joking.

tassawuf is definitely about renouncing this world. its about renouncing everything, even your own self until you are completely absorbed in the love and service of Allah.

btw he also has a painted portrait of his hanging in his office. what kind of a 'man of Allah' hangs a painting of himself in his office? the painting itself is haram for a start, and we all know the hadith about the angels of mercy not going in a place where there are paintings of animate objects on the wall...

but its not just the haram aspect one should look at. it makes one think that what kind of sufi wants to put paintings of himself on the walls to show off. i thought tassawuf teaches modesty and is against riya and pride.
