The prophet set these origins himself. So this way lasted until now, carried on by working scholars and Rabbis wise people all the times.
Sufism began like this: the good man builds himself a small mosque and collects his true companions and does with them what the prophet did with the Suffa people. The same sight is repeated, some of them pronounce God’s name, others contemplate, others recite the Quran, others teach, others learn, others fast during days and others stay nights up worshipping God.
He (the good man - the instructor – Al-Sheikh)gives each one, what matches his abilities and what his soul likes from good work which makes him nearer to God, because souls differ and each one prefers to do a certain work of worshipping. Then God gives them gifts and bounties which He previously gave to the companions of the prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and the Suffa people.
This is the origin on which the true Sufis, pious and good people and wise rabbis followed. They followed, what the Suffa people did, with their students and lovers. So you find with them remembrance circles, knowledge circles, contemplation circles and circles for reciting the Quran.
Among them you can also see love, affection and harmony, because they stipulate, to be with them and share them, that the heart shouldn’t have any envy or spite and the soul shouldn’t have any desire towards this life, because they meet with God and want his face. So He gives them gifts and bounties mentioned in this verse:
"Then We gave the Book (the Qur'an) for inheritance to such of Our slaves whom We chose." (Surat Fatir, verse 32)
Do people of this age need this Sufism?
Yes, they need it in this age and in all ages, for pure hearts, healthy bodies and clear life.
May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon our prophet
Mohammed, his family and his companions.
