A great majority of Muslims have believed Islamic
spirituality since early centuries to be in accordance with the spirit of
Islam. There have also been great many people in every epoch who
have believed otherwise. Whatever stand point one takes, if it is
based on authority it will enlighten people’s minds; otherwise it will
give rise to confusion. To talk with reference to the Qurān is to talk
on the basis of authority for Allah has held His revealed Word to be
al-Haqq (i.e., the standard of truth). At present the Qurān alone
entertains this status for it confirms that texts of Allah’s Word
revealed in the past have been tempered. The term ‘sufism’ is
prevalent for various forms of spirituality found in Muslims. It is a
fact that neither the word ‘sufism’ nor the word ‘sufi’ occurs in the
Qurān nor can it be drawn thereof. Some scholars have tried to trace
the origin of Islamic spirituality in the Qurānic word ‘Ihsan’ holding
it as a level of believing. In our view the word ‘Ihsan’ nowhere in the
Qurān occurs as a level of believing. Tafseer-e-Fazli (herein after
refered to as TF) authored by Hazrat Fazal Shah and Muhammad
Ashraf Fazli traces the origin of Islamic spirituality (commonly
called sufism) in the Qurānic word ‘shahid’ (i.e., the certified
witness/the devout). Keeping in view the Qurānic diction, Triqat-eShahideen (The Way of Shahideen) seems to be the most appropriate
epithet for rendering TF’s standpoint. According to TF ‘the way of
shahideen’ is the discipline for granting purification and then its
verification. Sufism since centuries is divided into wahdat al-wujud
and wahdat ash-shahud schools. Both these schools base their views
on their respective mystic experiences instead of presenting them
with reference to authority. TF does not agree with it. Keeping in
view TF’s approach of tracing everything Islamic from the Qurān, it
seems appropriate to render the view presented by TF as wahdat-ishahideen (the oneness of shihdeeen). This study works out in detail the stand point of TF mentioned above and examines the questions
and objections likely to be raised about it.
