Dawud I never ask question about tassawuf to a laymen (non scholarly devoid of knowledge or usul of tassawuf) or anyone who is relaxed about shariah. By the way did you get to find out about 'Firasat' and more so about Imam Ibn Taiymiah (RAH). I can bet my bottom dollar if the salafist find out ( minus his name), they would be calling him all sorts. Dawud join us in the thread 'Why do you believe Islam is the true Religion ? ' We can use your expeirience there. Allahualam
