[quote]I came accross this article in Darul Uloom Deoband's Urdu Magazine: http://www.darululoom-deoband.com/urdu/magazine/new/1177824250/01-Edariya_Feb07.pdf Interestingly, the article uses the term Tasawwuf as a synonym to the Quranic term "Ihsaan" and elaborates with examples that Islamic Tasawwuf should be nothing else than what the term "Ihsaan" stands for. The writer also mentions something he calls 'Non-Islamic' Tasawwuf. Our friend Usmani has been insisting that 'Tasawwuf is Islam', and therefore has been defending tasawwuf against any 'non-islamic' instances we present. The suggestion that a particular instance is 'non-islamic' or not is open for debate. Such a debate can only happen with the help of original sources, but unfortunately whenever such an effort is made, Mr. Usmani considers the interpretation presented to be invalid. Mr. Usmani would start debating the qualifications of the scholar (and his conformity with earlier scholars) instead of discussing the merits of the interpretation presented by him. It is this very reason that a meaningful discussion is very difficult here.[/quote]
