Someone asked Hadhrat Abul Qaasim Junaid (ra): “From whence did you acquire all this knowledge?”

Hadhrat Junaid (ra) said:

“We did not gain Tasawwuf by fabricating speeches. But we acquired it by means of hunger, renunciation of the world, abandoning the pleasures and comforts of the world, abundance of Thikrullah, fulfillment of the Faraa-idh and Waajibaat, following the Sunnah, discharging all commands and abstaining from all prohibitions.”
