JazakAllah kyran brother.

Ibn Ajiba talks about 'The Oneness of Existence'
And I have run across this kind of language before in sufi books...if possible could you tell me exactly what this means.I am somewhat confused by it,because the Qur'an says about Allah,there is none like unto Him but some sufis [not all] seem to be suggesting something else.Maybe due to my lack of knowledge in these areas I am misunderstanding something,or have some sufis went astray.

Behind everything in existence, Allah is the Doer.

Or one could say, in reality the only thing that exist, is Allah, His Attributes, His Actions and His Rulings...

Alot of people misunderstand this and think the sufis are saying Allah is everything or that Allah indwells in creation... None of this is true and contradicts the creed of the Muslims... Eventhough you may here Sufis and Muslims saying Allah is everywhere... It is not to be take literally but with the understanding that behind everything, Allah is the Doer.

And Allah knows best.
