Spirituality in Islam

Why is Tasawwuf an Innovation in Islam?

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | Spirituality in Islam | 20 December 2022

Tasawwuf is an innovation in Islam because it is against the teachings of the Islamic Scriptures. In Islam the Qur’an (the word of God) and Sunnah (the Prophet’s words and deeds) enjoy the status of the only authentic sources, and it is to them that we must turn if we are to have a true appreciation of the essence of the religion of Islam.

Understanding Islamic Spirituality

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan I Spirituality in Islam | 16 Nonember 2022

There is nothing mysterious about spirituality in Islam. It is rather the direct result of the kind of intellectual development that takes place when a believer ponders over the Creator and His creation: he gains something in the process that may be termed spirituality. The source, therefore, of Islamic spirituality is perusal and reflection rather than any sort of mysterious exercise.
