As Muhammad (blessed be his name) died in the early Seventh Century therefore the Eighth Century origins of the the mystical side of Islam (Sufi) is hardly a new innovation.
I am sorry you find this offensive.
are you listening to what you are saying ?
you are talking about something being created AFTER prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
Sunnie the sunna ! is what He him self followed and the Shahaba /salaf ...
In the life of a religion, a hundred years is as the blink of an eye.
My comments stand and again I am sorry you take offense in them.
