Attacks against Sufi Saints

Question: Sayyidi (Q), can you please explain why sufi saints are always attacked?

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, Sufi saints, or Awliya Allah, teachings are a threat to the satanic kingdom, as they propagate knowledge and fight against the devils that seek to distract people from their true belief. The teachings and knowledge they spread are like a fierce attack against the satanic influences that have encased and held people with false beliefs and misunderstandings.

The attacks on Sufi saints come in various forms, such as rumors, insults, and attempts to discredit them. This is because those who have not reached the same spiritual levels may not understand the reality of the saints and their mission. The tests they face are a means to purify their intentions and keep them steadfast on the path of Divine love and the love of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

The attacks serve as a means of testing the saints’ sincerity and devotion. It is a trial to see if they are truly doing their work for the sake of Allah (AJ) and the love of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, rather than seeking validation from people. The saints are required to maintain the best of character, stay quiet in the face of adversity, and not use their spiritual gifts to retaliate or attack others.

In essence, the attacks on Sufi saints are a reflection of the ongoing spiritual warfare between the forces of light and darkness. The saints, through their knowledge, teachings, and spiritual practices, pose a threat to the satanic influences and are therefore targeted. Their role as warriors of knowledge and spiritual guides makes them a target for those who seek to distract people from the true path of Divine love.

May Allah (AJ) grant us the understanding to recognize the immense value of the Sufi saints and the sacrifices they make for the sake of spreading Divine love and knowledge. May we strive to support and learn from them, and may we be protected from the whispers of the satanic influences. Ameen.
