The Sufis exploited the chaotic state of affairs during the fifth and sixth centuries A.H. and invited people to follow their way, alleging that the remedy to this chaos was conformity to the guidance of their order's shaikhs. They invented their own orders and set their own criteria to distinguish loyalty from animosity, though these criteria were not sanctioned either by Qur'an or the Sunnah.
The Sufis celebrate Mawlid and hold gatherings for sending blessings on the Prophet (peace
be upon him), but they go against his teachings by raising their voices in dhikr, anasheed, and qaseedahs (poems) that contain blatant shirk. Did the Prophet (peace be upon him) celebrate his birthday? Did the Companions, the four imaams or anyone else celebrate his birthday? In this lectures the Sheikh refutes the Sufis using examples from the Quran and Sunnah.
