[quote][quote]Can anyone shed light on the concept of Wahdat-ul-Wajood which forms in my opinion forms the basis of tasawaff.[/quote]
Philosophy always gives us more questions than answers.

We know from Quran:
40:68 It is He Who gives Life and Death; and when He decides upon an affair, He says to it, "Be", and it is. 
36:82 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is! 
16:40 For to anything which We have willed, We but say the word, "Be", and it is. 
2:117 To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: When He decreeth a matter, He saith to it: "Be," and it is.  
It may be taken as a finding here that Allah creates things from "nothing".His" intention/will/decision and "say"are all that requires to bring anything into "existence'.
So we can say that the Islamic idea about the creation is that the Creator of an object is not at the same time be a part of it.Here we find the foundation of uncompromising monothism.Means the Creator and His creations are two different things.
Attributes of the Creator like anger and mercy can also be the attributes of creations but that only suggest the  related meaning to human intellect.Since God is infinite(awwal and akhir)and so His attributes are.And since man has its limitations in all known capabilities,we just cant say what exactly would be the meaning of ''most merciful"as we  can only imagine limited mercy and not "the Infinite mercy".

Everything is part(ansh) of creator is purely Hinduism ideology.that gives the reason to worship everything ranging from snakes to river or sun etc .

plz keep me right through your comments.[/quote]
