[quote][quote]Dear Salman.....If you think that Imam Gazali's concept is breaking the limits set by the main sources,so please show us how and where.[/quote]
Muhiyddin Ibn Arabi, one of the leading authorities on Sufi mysticism wrote,

"Some works I wrote at the command of God sent to me in sleep, or through mystical revelations."(!)

The other striking impression that Ibn Arabi wanted to leave on the readers of his Meccan Revelation is that he, too, as a spiritual and mystical figure, experienced the heaviness of revelation, resembling that of the Prophet (s.a.w).

He noted that sometimes the pressure of mystical revelation was so strong that he felt compelled to finish a work before taking a rest.

Allah the Exalted particularly condemns such claimants, saying: which means,

[i]"And who is more disbelieving than he who forges a lie against Allah, or says, 'It has been revealed to me,' when nothing has been revealed to him, or who says, 'I will send down the like of which Allah has sent down.'"[/i]

Three fundamentals of Sufism which are innovations not sanctioned by the Qur'an or the Sunnah:-

* The division of knowledge into exoteric, or manifest, asoteric, or hidden;

* The division of Islam into shari'ah (religious sciences) and the sciences of truth; and

* the addition to Islam of the Sufi order as the path leading to the truth.[/quote]
