Conclusion

In conclusion, I wish to commend the continous efforts of the Salafi groups (those groups who follow the footsteps of the Messenger of Allah and his Companions) throughout the world to expose Sufism, and to criticize the deplorable silence of other Islamic parties and groups. The reason for this silence is that none of these other parties, large or small, has a dogmatic base with which it can be identified.

The Sufi movement has clearly suffered a marked decline in many places in the Muslim world which were once centres of Sufi activity. It has undergone an eclipse in its social significance, and become quite marginal to the wider Muslim society, as a result of the action rightly paid by the Salafi da'wah and other activists among Muslims everywhere.

Today, having lost ground in the Muslim world, Sufis have shifted their activities to the North American continent, exploiting the spiritual vacuum experienced by the people there. But with the help first of God Almighty Allah, then of the Salafi da'wah, Sufism will continue to suffer one blow after another and Allah's word will prevail over all impious beliefs. I hope that I have succeeded in presenting a true picture of Sufism, inlight of the Qur'an and the Sunnah, to Muslim readers, and I pray to Allah the Exalted to guide us and guide them to His straight path. He is the ultimate Judge: "There is no repeal of His decree."
