Today Sufism is a name without a reality and once it was a reality without a name

commented Abul Hasan al-Fushanji, who lived some three hundred years after Prophet Muhammad. The great Sufi master Hujwiri, a century later added: “In the time of the Companions of the Prophet and their immediate successors this name did not exist, but its reality was in everyone. Now the name exists without the reality.”
