    Deviant Sites
    1. Sunnah.org
    As-Sunnah Foundation of America

    This is a site to beware of. It is full of deviant Sufism. It has a page in praise of Qasidat -ul Burdaa. It claims that Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn al Qayyim, Ibn Hazm, Al-Jazai’ri, Al Abanee and bin Baz are all Innovators!!

    Among other false claims on the website are the following statements about Kashf:

    Kashf (Unveiling) is a reality which refers to the miraculous knowledge of the awliya (Friends of Allah). Such knowledge attains higher levels than that of any other knowledge of humankind and jinn including in certain cases the knowledge of Prophets…

    Thus it is related by one of the Imams of hadith whose word lies beyond suspicion, that "it is well-known that he (Imam Nawawi) used to meet with al-Khidr (as)" and converse with him among many other mukaashafaat

    2. I Profess.com



    You should know this site so you can avoid its potential harm. This site is meant for new Muslims or non-Muslims thinking about Islaam. Judging from the home page you would feel like recommending this site to new Muslims.

    But once on this site, a person is just one click away (literally) from sites which are steeped in deviant Sufi ideas. Also those sites have long articles which try to prove that Kashf, Tariqah, etc are all Islaamically valid. A person without sufficient grounding in the basics may fall into their lure or at least begin to have some doubts. Keep new comers away from this site and there is no benefit in it for 'old hands' either.

    3. Sunni Path.com
    Study Islam Online at SunniPath: The Online Islamic Academy

    Suffice it to say that this is a site which teaches the Nu Ha Mim Keller and Faraz Rabbani brand of Sufism

    4. Living Islam
    living islam

    Among the false teachings of this site is the following example:

    Sharî`ah, Tarîqah And Haqîqah
    The Tarîqah or Spiritual Path which is usually known as Tasawwuf or Sufism is the inner and esoteric dimension of Islam and like the Sharî`ah has its roots in the Quran and prophetic practice.

    5. The Modern Religion.com
    Islam - The Modern Religion..Click the Moon to step inside...

    This site is similar to the above sites but more dangerous because its deviant Sufi teachings are not evident in the initial pages.

    6. The Way to Truth.org
    Understanding Islamic Religion

    Here's yet another site which does not reveal its true teachings until you are way inside the site. There are long pseudo Islaamic Articles with analogies like the one of a circle and its radii trying to prove their deviant ideas right.

    To provide a glimpse of their teachings we have excerpted the following from their site:
    Sainthood is a proof for Messengership
    Sainthood is a proof for Messengership and the way or spiritual order (tariqa) is evidence for the Shari‘a. For a saint experiences with certainty of seeing the truths of belief communicated by the Messenger and confirms them through the witnessing of his heart and the spiritual pleasure he derives. Such confirmation is a decisive proof for the truth of Divine Messengership.

    In another place they have posted the following articles:

    THE SPIRITUAL LIFE IN ISLAM: SUFISM
    Some Assertions Of Certain Saints
    On The Doctrine Of “Unity Of Being”
    What Does Knowledge Of God Is Different From Knowledge Of His Existence Mean?
    The Nine Clarifications About Muslim Sufism And Following A Spiritual Order

    7. Al Baz.com
    Al-Baz Publishing

    Rating: Deviant site

    This is the site for Al Baz book publishers and not a full fledged site. However it has some extracts from their publications so it turns up on search engine queries for Islaamic terms. That’s how we came across this site. Also it is good to know about al Baz publishers so as to avoid buying some of their publications by mistake as their stated goals is ‘… to publish fine English translations of the Treasures of Islam; in particular the works of the great Muslim saints, with special emphasis on the writings and majalis [sessions] of the Chieftain of the Saints, Sultan al-Awliya' Hazrat Shaikh Muhyi'd-din 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani, al-Hasani, al-Husaini, may Allah perfume his resting place.’

    Here’s an extract from one of their publications posted on the site::

    This book contains the words of the Supreme Helper, the Lordly Cardinal Pole, the everlasting edifice, the radiantly shining lamp, the Sultan of the saints and the masters of direct knowledge, the proof of the chosen and those who have reached their spiritual destination, Allah's Gray Falcon, our patron, our master and our exemplary guide to Allah (Exalted is He), the noble highborn patrician, the chieftain, Shaikh Muhyi 'd-Din 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani al-Hasani al-Husain…

    Alhamdulillah, most of these sites are excellent resources for traditional Islamic knowledge. They represent the Sunni way that Muslims have been following since the time of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace). They are considered "deviant" by those who find the Sunni way "deviant," namely Wahhabis/"Salafis." Wahhabism is an extremist sect that considers the majority of Muslims, scholars and laymen alike, to be outside the fold of Islam. Their "scholars" declare Muslims kafir, charging them with shirk and kufr, and the followers use these fatwas to fight and kill Muslims around the world. This extremist sect is funded by Saudi oil money. Young Muslims from around the world are recruited into their schools and universities, and after indoctrination, they are sent back to their homelands to spread Wahhabism/Salafism.

    We must all be weary of this fitna that plagues the umma. Ahl al-Sunna/Sunni (traditional/orthodox/mainstream) Islam is represented by the four madhhabs - Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi`i, Hanbali - in jurisprudence (fiqh), by the two schools - Maturidi and Ash`ari - in beliefs (`aqida), and by the various orders (tariqas) of Tasawwuf/Sufism, the Islamic science of the purification of the heart.

      When I saw the list, I was dumbfounded as to why this list is posted. I did not want to say anything--it does not take much to get these half baked mullahs rattled.

      Mujib wrora, may Allah reward you.
      Islam will prevail, a promise made by the Creator of this universe:

      [61:8] They desire to extinguish the light of Allah with the breath of their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, even if the disbelievers hate it.

      [61:9] He it is Who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the Religion of truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religions, even if those who associate partners with God hate it.

        In the words of another African-American Salafi Islamist, when you point one finger at someone else, you point three back at yourself (Khalid Yasin). No one defines deviance like Bilal Phillips.

        Kind regards.
