[quote]plz carry on your interesting conversation. just a reminder vide infra: Islam teaches to get closer to Him by following His messenger pbuh as Himself has said in Qur'an that oh Muhammad sws if they say they love God, they have to follow you(3:31) Qur'an insists on the purification of one's intelligence, physical self and spiritual self in order to find god and not by 'rehbaniat' , cutting off from the facts of a living life or by wondering in the jungles--as comes from the ideology of sufism. the theory of tasawwuf is to get close to god by grasping His personality which is strictly denied by Qur'an ; i.e. even when one of the most greatest personalities i.e. the prophet of god, moses/musa pbuh wished to have a vision of Him He warned him, that you would not be able to bear my site-hence moses fainted even though just a light from god shone on the mountain. Qur'an stresses on strenghthening of the relationship with god by one and most important virtue of islam i.e. tazkyah of one's soul /purification of the soul which is an ongoing struggle for the life time the aim being the attainment of the state of 'nafs e mutmainnah' /'the satisfied soul' ready to meet his/her Lord.[/quote]
