Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza & Ustaaz Imam
With regards to Sufism being a parallel religion. I don’t have a problem with bringing (alien) mystical methods into Islam. Study the history of Islamic Thought and you will see Islam as it exists today is a historical product, a product of cross fertilization of many civilizations. Mysticism in itself is a pathway to God and it’s not for people who want to have a monopoly over the truth. I am not worried about the similarities of Sufi doctrine with other mystical doctrines in the world. It only increases my curiosity. Something very interesting is going on. Didn’t God say he could have united us all to Islam ? But he didn’t, this is a great secret of the Quran, a seed of tolerance you should water. Free your mind from the fear of misguidance.
