I have quoted both Arabic text and the translation for you.
�الْكِبْرُ بَطَرُ الْحَقِّ وَغَمْصُ النَّاس�
(Arrogance is refusing the truth and belittling people.)
Whether Doctor or Lawyer, he should read the Instruction Manual - understand the do's and don'ts - follow the prescribed safety precautions before operating his Mechanical/Electrical/Electronic gadget.
Otherwise, - you know the consequences.
Well, if he thinks that the manufacturer has given him the manual to be preserved in an elevated place from where no one can take and read, I leave him to his fate.
The same is the case with this complicated structure of the human being. Qur'an and Hadith is the manual for using this complicated structure for best results.

When did I deny?
Imam Al-Ghazali contributed significantly to the development of a systematic view of Sufism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Ghazali
Abdul Qadir Jilani abandoned the city of Baghdad, after completion of education, and spent twenty-five years as a wanderer in the desert regions of Iraq as a recluse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul-Qadir_Gilani Do such wanderings have any relation with the basic teachings of Islam? Does the Qur'an or Hadith approve of such ascetic life?Edited by abosait - 05 May 2010 at 9:25am |

Bismillah
Assalamualiakum wa rahamtullah wa barkatuhu,
Dear Nur-ilahi,
You started this thread in a particular mood, but ihnvariably it has gone to a certain derailment, which is the fate of such topics on a public discussion forum.
The 'desire' to change someone from being an anti-sufi into a man of purification of heart is alsoa 'desire' of the nafs ... which one must controle and tame.
Please excuse me, I did not go past reading two pages on this string ... but have seen some quotes from Futuh al-Ghaib. Since you seem to read and follow literature of this level, if you have access, please try to read Fath ar-Rabbani by the same author. The discourses in this collection are on deeper level. They mostly point on ones focus on his/her own purification, and not bothering about others who have not yet understood the meaning of self purification.
Discussions on the validity of tassawuf don't help anybody ... at least not in my experience.
Your most important responsibility is towards your own soul, your own preparation for the day when no soul will be able to benefit other.
Im yet to see discussions on tassawwuf that benefits beginners amoung people of Ihsan. If you can have one and keep it on that high road it will definitely be purposeful.

If you understand your responsibility towards your own soul, your own preparation for "the day when no soul will be able to benefit other" is in the Qur'an and the Sunnah and not in Sufi lterature.

The self scholar above has spoken, of course, if you have a Bukhari and Muslim hadith book at home, you are an Aliim, who needs to study Islam for Years on end when we got Abosait around?

Do these alims use a translated Quran?
Just wondering, because a translation is never the same as the original arabic text ... do their preaching twist and tweek there

Dear Nausheen,
I did not read your post until today when Abosait gave the link to this page.
Before I replied, I had already been thinking, am I doing the right thing? Am I trying to assist another brother in acknowledging the existence and beauty of Ihsan where one can find the secrets of our existence?
Or Am I following my Nafs in proving myself right?
I think I follow your advice.
But it is such a pity, Allah had given ways and means to His servants to find the secrets in the creation of our existence, yet, some of His servants refuse to acknowledge.
Lahaulawala Quwwatailla billahil aliyil adzeem.
Salam alaikum.
Jazakallah

There is no way to learn the rulings of Allaah, which have to do with His commands and prohibitions, except through His Messengers.
Whoever says that he has taken the ruling of Allaah from his heart or from what he received in his heart through intuition, and that he acts upon that and thus has no need of the Qur�aan or Sunnah, has claimed for himself the unique qualities of Prophethood.
Astagfirullah.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
and there are other similar aayahs. Read more at the following URL:
