Islam is a deen which means complete code of life. The external deeds are categorized as per degree of virtuous points such as prayer, fast, Zakat, performance of Hajj etc which are preached by the theologians, whereas the Sufi/WaliAllah make these deeds acceptable by working on the hearts of their disciples. Acceptance of actions base on purity of intentions at heart as the blessing sees the intention nay actions.
"Verily, he who has purified the heart is successful and he who has despoiled it has lost."
Some scholars who sees the action nor intention consider this way of Sufism out of sharia. tasawwuf/Sufism is not breaking off relations and living isolated life from the world. They present themselves before Allah Almighty 24 hours and never let even a moment go by without remembering Allah Almighty. They always worry about the purity of their soul and heart and these of their disciples. They have high spiritual power as per their position. They remove the doubts in faith of their disciples through miracle by the order of Allah.
Some Sufis are appointed or elevated to the position of serving mankind regardless of religions, castes, languages. One of main duties of them is to protect the faith of believers against invisible evil forces which try to mislead them astray misquoting Islamic scriptures. The Sufi (WaliAllah) see by the light (Noor) of Allah. The theologians peach the Jihad against visible enemies while The Sufi train their disciples how to fight against evils within themselves. In a nutshell, fighting against ill-wishes within ourselves is the greater Jihad.
It's generally said that control your tongue while you are sitting before theologians and control your hearts before Sufi / Waliallah who is able to listen to intention at heart.
Feel free to question, but with intention to increase knowledge.
May Allah guide us to the right path! Ameen!
