AI: Summary ©
The speaker discusses the lack of verification and the difficulty of finding experts on Tezzik. They also mention the use of wool and the similarities between Tezzik and S parka, which are considered verifiable. The speaker questions the claims made by some people and suggests that the claims are not about the inside, but rather about the people they wear.

Why do some call it and others call
it?
Tezquia is not verifiable.
So the expert in Tezquia would be praising
himself and making an unverifiable
claim because purification of the heart is not
something we can see, so we can't verify
it. As opposed to Hafiz Qur'an, it's verifiable.
You can recite right in front of us.
Faqih, the way you answer questions, what you
say, what you write, it's verifiable knowledge. Whereas
anything that has to do with the inside,
you're making the biggest claim. Are you claiming
that you're purified?
So these people then wanted to take something
more humble,
not to make a claim, but to say
that this is what we're trying to be
like. And so at the time, they used
to wear wool, and so they said the
people of wool. And that's what the Sufi
comes from, and tasawaf comes from that. Those
ascetic people who went without the dunya and
turned their life to Allah, who were known
to wear the cheapest material at the time,
which was wool.
