Comment by Benaissa on March 21, 2010 at 3:18pm: Brother Ubeid. Let me greet you and thank you for bringing up this subject. Tassawuf is generaly the way to Allah. It is a process that allow us to know our creator. Throughout this process they are many stations "Makamat" that must be passed by a Mureed in order to become nothing. Because, becoming nothing is in fact breaking our ego "Nafs" and getting to be something. There the truth will be revealed and the veils will be overpassed. And all these prophets that you mentioned had got there. They were all in the devine presence "Hazrat ilahia" and for us to be real sufis, we have to follow the footsteps of the prophets especially our Rassul Muhammad Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam. May Allah be with us and helps us all. Salam.
