Bismillah, Walhamdulillah, Wassolatuwassalam 'ala Rasulilllah. saw.
I am not here to say what's right or what's wrong. These issues, be it ahli salafi, wahabi, sufi & tasawwuf, they're all searching for the truth. To purify Islam. To follow the true teachings of Islam, Allah and His Prophet s.a.w. Semuanya kata mereka yang benar. Semuanya kata INILAH ajaran Allah dan RasulNya yang sebenar. Semuanya berbeza pendapat. Different approach, different dalil used, different outcome. Sungguh lemah manusia ni kan? I believe, all we can do is to never stop searching for the truth. Focus and build up on our basic foundation of Islam FIRST, (that includes our usul fiqh, ulum hadith, ulum quran, tauhid, syariah, hadith & tafseer) then seek knowledge of all sort, compare by using your knowledge, think rationally and critically, and most importantly, ask Allah for His guidance, insyaAllah eventually we'll find the truth.
Pengetahuanku masih kurang, ilmuku masih cetek, namun, kita ada ribuan para 'alim ulama' yang boleh dipercayai dan mampu memberi bimbingan. Allah tidak akan sia-siakan mereka yang berilmu. Dan ulama' itu pewaris para Nabi. And I believe it is safe to follow them, dengan syarat bukan dengan taqlid buta, malah dengan mengetahui akan kebenaran sesuatu itu dengan jelas dan nyata.
To say that our scholars & ulama' are wrong, selfish, proud and arrogant is just so wrong.
Abu Ad-Dardaa may Allaah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam said, “He who follows a path in quest of knowledge, Allaah will make the path of Paradise easy for him. The angles lower their wings over the seeker of knowledge, being pleased with what he does. The inhabitants of the Heavens and the earth, and even the fish in the depth of the oceans seek forgiveness for him. The superiority of a scholar over a devout worshipper is like that of the full moon over the rest of the stars (in brightness). Scholars are the heirs of the Prophets who bequeath neither gold nor silver, but only knowledge; and he who acquires it (knowledge), has in fact acquired an abundant portion” (Abu Daawood & Tirmithi).
As for now, I'll continue to seek more ilm, follow my leaders & 'ulama, and will never stop to find the REAL truth. InsyaAllah..

Ya Allah, tunjukkanlah kami kebenaran. Bimbingilah kami ke jalan yg diredhaiMu.. Ameen.
