Your -azwj Prophet-hood has terminated and your -as days are complete...

Your -azwj Prophet-hood has terminated and your -as days are complete, so the knowledge which is in your -as possession, and the Eman, and the Greatest Name, and inheritance knowledge, and traces (Ahadith) of knowledge of the Prophet-hood, make it to be in the posterity of your -as offspring, in the possession of Hibtullah -as !

فإنّي لن أقطع العلم و الإيمان و آثار علم النبوّة من العقب من ذرّيّتك إلى يوم القيامة، و لن أدع الأرض إلّا و فيها عالم يعرف به دينى و تعرف به طاعتى و يكون نجاة لمن يولد فيما بينك و بين نوح “I -azwj will never Cut off the knowledge, and the Eman, and traces of the knowledge of Prophet-hood from the posterity of your -as offspring up to the Day of Qiyamah, and will never Leave the earth except that therein would be a knowledgeable one My -azwj religion can be recognised with, and obedience to Me -azwj is recognised through him -as , and salvation would be for the one who is born in what is between you -as and Noah -as !” و بشّر آدم بنوح عليه السلام And Adam -as gave the glad tidings of Noah -as , may the greeting be upon him -as ’.

[2] See Appendix I, the same Command (to transfer his -as knowledge to his -as successor) was for Prophet Nuh -as when the end of his term approached. Allah -azwj Wishes to have His -azwj Knowledgeable representative on earth, so that His -azwj Religion is transmitted, without any alteration, to people, generation after generation, through a Prophet -as or his -as successor -as .

However, the Sufi doctrine has sought to promote mystical practices rather than to learn and disseminate the knowledge of Prophets -as . Examples of earlier Sufi s include Al-Hassan Al-Basri and Sufyan Al-Sowry, who guided people toward mystical rituals rather than the conventional practices of Rasool Allah -saww , which encouraged learning from the Quran and Ahadith.
