[an-Nisaa' 4:29].
“Allaah intends for you ease, and He does not want to
make things difficult for you.”
[al-Baqarah 2:185]
Also it has been made permissible for the Muslim to refrain from fasting in
Ramadaan when he is a traveller or is ill
as a mercy to us, so all praise and
thanks are due to Allaah, for His favours.
This endurance of self-imposed hardship was found amongst the first Sufis,
but as regards later Sufis then they were concerned only with food and drink.
Ibnul-Jawzee said in Talbees Ibless, after criticizing the Sufis for their
imposition of hardship upon themselves and for their going beyond bounds of
abstemiousness to the point of self torture, "So this self deprivation which
went beyond bounds, which we have been forbidden from, has been turned
around by the Sufis of our time, i.e. the sixth century, so that they have
become as desirous of food as their predecessors were of hunger, and they
enjoy morning meals, evening meals and sweet delicacies, all of which or
most of which they attain through impure wealth. They have abandoned
lawful earnings, turned away from worship and spread out carpets on which
they idly recline, most of them have no desire except for food, drink and
frivolous activities."
What Ibnul-Jawzee relates is also the state of the Sufis of our time, indeed
they are many times worse. O brothers, but there is insufficient time to
mention examples of this from the practices of the Sufis in this regard.
