Why are Sufis often not accepted by Muslims?

Question

Please answer my question.

Answer 1

The majority of Sufi beliefs pre-date Islam, although it is claimed that 'prophet' Muhammad started the teachings that lead to the beliefs. However, scrolls and writings that are from many centuries before his birth, suggest otherwise.

Sufi's believe that love is a projection of the essence of God to the universe, all phenomena are manifestations of a single reality, one being. The essence of this being-Truth-God is devoid of every form and quality, therefore is not manifested, and yet it is inseparable from every form and phenomenon either material or spiritual. They believe that every phenomenon is an aspect of Truth and at the same time attribution of existence to it is false. The idea is to let go of all notions of duality, therefore the individual self also, and realize the divine unity.

Which is different to the central Islam beliefs, and hence why Muslims feel they are heretical, don't accept them. Even though really they are a different religion entirely.

Answer 2

I want to see this answer myself. I have great respect for the Sufi. I can not see a Sufi as a terrorist. I did not know that Muslims did not accept this part of Islam. If this is true, why? They seem very holy to me, just like our Christian mystics and Saints, and monastics.
