What is Ihsan? Let's discuss....

Do these alims use a translated Quran?......

What is that? Allah has revealed the Qur'an only in one language - Arabic. He has not sent any translated Qur'an.

In order to convey the Message to those who dont know ARABIC, The MEANINGS OF THE VERSES of the QUR'AN have been translated into other languages. The Islamic Shari'ah incorporates these manings as explained to the Sahaba by the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam himself and as understood by the Salaf.

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.

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

Ilahi Anta Maksudi, Wa Redhaka Mathlubi - Oh Allah, You are my destination, Your Pleasure is my Intention.

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?

Ya Allah, Bismillah, AllahuAkbar.

Bismillah
