“(All) our movement (action) is really a continual profession of faith which bears witness to the Eternal Almighty One.”
—Rumi
“The
Shahadah
, which epitomizes Islamic doctrine and hence also the doctrine of Sufism, may be said to contain two complementary perspectives, that of transcendence or incomparability (
tanzih
) and that of immanence or resemblance (
tashbih
). The first, transcendence, indicates that God is distinct from all beings and that absolutely nothing can compare to Him; the second, immanence, indicates that all beings derive their total reality from God and that therefore in their essential nature they have no reality outside of His Reality.”
