Sufism is not different than all Islamic sects using other sources.
Using the Quran alone as a source of extracting sentences results in a very different mentality, and a very different "Islam" than what we see today from Sunna, Shia and other sects like Sufies.
I support my choice with the historical atrocities practiced by Sunni and Shiite Muslims; even Suffies. If you follow what these sects are built upon; you will find that they are not following the Quran: you're following a mutant mixture of Quran and Hadith. Any logical idea will clash with the bounds of this mixture; and any ridiculous thought can find a warm room to grow in with the support of Hadith and sects' books.
The Quran is not meant to be approached like any book. It has warnings. It has warning with respect to Satan and his recitation, with respect to locks and knots blown upon by dark forces, and it has warnings with respect to how past revelations were first distorted in meaning and than slowly it's texts changed as well, and it has warnings with respect to relying on other than God, and it has warnings that the unjust will not be increased in it but in injustice, and it has prayers in it that must be pay attention to at the moment and it's relevance to the Surah, and it has a way out of the darkness but most people hate the way that God loves, and it has champions in form of guiding leaders that it manifests their qualities, and shows the consistent way of appointed chosen families in the past and how their authority was taken by people not fit for it, be it people who testify to them or turn them to idols or deny them all together.
And it commands to not make haste with respect to limiting what the Surahs are saying, and giving it time, and to reflect over time, and perhaps in that reflection the easy reminder will become manifest and the easy way to God will become clear, and the clear truths will become manifest, and the connection we all are linked to will become clear.
Peace be upon the family of Taha and Yaseen.
