[quote]AoA, Please have a look at Asif Iftikhar's discussion at the following link: http://www.renaissance.com.pk/AugDial2y4.html I would like Mr. Usmani to comment on this, as here Mr. Iftikhar questions the epistemilogical basis of Sufi thought. Sufis claim direct knowledge for themselves through the same Divine source that was the basis of Divine guidance given to the Messengers of God and His prophets. Now that is the core issue. Otherwise, if Sufism is all about getting close to Allah, everybody would be for it? What could be more desirable than that. I have listened to introductory lectures on Sufism by Maulana Taqi Usmani, Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmed, Shaikh Nuh Keller (All of them representing the traditional school of thought). None of them mentions this, let alone giving a justification for it. I hope they have an academic reply to this criticism, considering their greatness as scholars of islam. Regards, Salman[/quote]
