Ibn Jawzis famous book Talbees iblees was ground breaking in exposing the practices of Tasawwuf.
I want to touch on one aspect where they have gone to extremes in that of Love, Passion or "ishq". Confusing Emaan with "Passion". Using worldly terms such as "Ishq" for God. Losing oneself in states and mixing it with "Ishq".
The practices and thoughts are shared much with Occult philosophy such as self torture rituals, secrecy, enlightenment, Shaykh Worship, the aspect that "Love" is the way.
Never forget that Emaan is something different to Emotion. The sufees conflating Emaan with "Passion" and ahe Salafees with Aqeedah are dangerous.
