[quote]Brother Usmani,
I have read the posts explaining the concept of Wahdatul Wajood.In my humble view the concept of Wahdatul Wajood as explained by the great Sufias challenges the concept of Tawheed presented by Quran.
 According to Quran, the most desirable level of the belief of Tawheed is to hold that no one, besides God, deserves to be given the status of a deity and thus no one, besides God, deserves to be given the rights that are deserved by a deity. This, according to the Qur'an was the teaching of all the Prophets of God, including Muhammad (pbuh). However, in the eyes of Sufism, this is only the starting level of the belief of Tawheed. They hold that the ultimate and true level of Tawheed is the acceptance of the belief that no one besides God enjoys existence(Wahdatul Wajood).This concept of Tawheed is explained in the following books written by some very well known and highly respected Sufis."Manaazil al-Saayireen" by Abu Ismail Al-Harawi (Arabic); "Ihyaa Uloom Al-Deen" by Abu Hamid Mohammed Al-Ghazali (Arabic); "Fusoos Al-Hikam" by Muhiyuddin Ibn Al-Arabiy (Arabic); "Futoohaat e Makkiyah" by Muhiyuddin Ibn Al-Arabiy (Arabic);"Maktoobaat" by Shaikh Ahmad Badruddin Abul Barakaat Farooqi Sirhandy (Persian); and"`Abaqaat" by Shah Mohammed Ismail; 
If you are implying that the writings of the scholar referred by you gives the true concept of ‘Wahdatul Wajood’then I am afraid one has to believe that a new direction to ‘Wahdatul Wajood ‘ is being given which is different from the one explained by the greats of this field.However,if some sufi or scholar is prepared to do that he will have to publicly denounce all the above sufias for presenting  a wrong concept of Tawheed.
My dear brother Usmani, Islam was completed during the life of Prophet Muhammad pbuh and Quran insists that it is very clear book without any deviation and is very simple to understand.If we believe in the words of Quran truly and consider it as an ultimate guidance then i am afraid there is absolutely no place for Sufism in Islam.
