.....[b]No One Claims that this Meditation is COMPULSORY for muslims... Even if it WRONG, Maximum you can say is that they are indulged in some wrong doing ( Which is due to a misconception )... [u]Matwazi Deen is still a very STRONG Allegation[/u][/b].....[/quote][blue]That allegation is not only because of their meditation.

They, the Sufis have their own interpretation of Tawhid different from what the Sahaba and the Salaf learnt and understood from the Qur'an and Sunnah.

Their Tawheed reflects different creeds and is considered by many as “hidden knowledge” which may be only attained by the elite. Soofee mystics claim that Allaah is incarnated in special Soofee saints. Amongst the most daring Soofis who held to the concept of incarnation was Al-Hallaaj who was tried for his heresy and put to death by the‘Abbaasid authorities.

Some see Allaah as the only existing being. This is stressed by AlGhazaalee, may Allaah forgive him, in his book [i]Ihyaa ‘Ulum ad-Deen[/i]. He said: “Anyone who does not see Allaah in everything, then he sees ‘other’ than Him,” and that “The pure Tawheed is to see in everything nothing but Allaah .” [See Ihyaa’, V. 1, p. 288.]

Al- Ghazaalee stresses that the utmost objective of Tawheed is to see, “Al-Kull (everything) not as [i]Katheer[/i] (many), but as one’.

Ibn ‘Arabi considered all kinds creeds to be true and he believed in them all. This is his “Unity of Worship”.

In the sight of the mystic Soofis, the Prophet (s.a.w) is looked upon in ways that oppose the path which Allaah (s.w.t)intended for the believers.

The Soofee mystics refer to Prophet
Muhammad (s.a.w) as being the “Perfect Man” or the “Al-Haqeeqah Al-Muhammadiyyah”: The Thaat (Essence of
Allaah) in its first designation; to him (Muhammad s.a.w)
belongs all of the Most Beautiful Names [of Allaah] and that he is Al-Ism Al-A’tham (Allaah’s Greatest Name).

From Muhammad, the entire creation, this world and the Hereafter, was brought to exist!!

They consider the Prophet (s.a.w) as the first created being and from him originated rest of creation and that he
himself is the God who is above the Throne. Such concept is similar to the philosophical concept of the “first cause” or the “first active intellect” from whom the creation emanated.

Some Soofis hold to the same concept as above but do not say that the essence of Muhammad is above the ‘Arsh.

Many Soofis claim that the light of Muhammad (s.a.w) is the first being, and that he is the most honorable of
creation, and for his sake Allaah has created the universe. They do not explicitly say that the creatures originated from him.

Most Soofis, however, concur that the Prophet (s.a.w) is the essence of emanation of all knowledge. Some of them
consider that this emanation iseternal, meaning that it is present even before the existence of Muhammad (s.a.w). That is why a large sector of the Soofis believe that the Prophet (s.a.w)
knows the Ghayb and that nothing escapes his knowledge in the heavens and on the earth.

Such concepts, beliefs, and practices concerning the Prophet (s.a.w) are corrupt and contradict the Message of the Qur’aan and Sunnah as well as the way of the true believers, the Sahaabah and those who followed them on the path of righteousness, (may Allaah be pleased with them all.)[/blue]
