Abd Al Hadi Kharsa
The translation and publication of the present book, 'Ulama' al-Sufiyya Hum al-salafiyyya al-Haqiqiyyun is a welcome event for seekers of spiritual guidance and self-purification in our time. This praiseworthy effort offers to the English-speaking public a contemporary explanation of the immutable principles of Sufism, which are one and the same with the three principles of Religion: submission [Islam], faith [Iman], and excellence [Ihsan]. The book contains Shaykh 'Abd al-Hadi's carefully presented anthology of the wisdom of the Sufi masters of old and their summations of doctrine ['aqida] and of the various spiritual diseases and spiritual stations and states of the wayfarer. They were gleaned from the bio-sapiental classics of the genre such as Tabaqat al-Sufiyya, the Luma, the Risala, the Ihya, and can be in later works such as Tabaqat al-Awliya and al-Kawakib al-Durriyya fi Tarajim al-Sufiyya.
The vehemence of the title - shown in the emphatic-exclusive personal pronoun and translatable as 'The Scholars of the Sufis: [Only] They are the Genuine Followers of the Salaf!' - is a reminder of the tireless efforts of the last two hundred years of Ahl al-sunna wal-Jama'a scholarship demonstrating the Islamic orthodoxy of tasawwuf and denouncing the heresy of Wahhabism and pseudo-Salafism.
