13. Alhamdulillah, wa ba'ad.
    
    Brother, I think Ar-Rahman means The Entirely Merciful.
14. sir williwam chittick seems to be very deep into islamic history and studies, is he a muslim or not (asking because of his name)...... is he authentic? because the topic of sufism and mysticism is very delicate and people can easily go the wrong way if concepts are wrongly developed....... i think it is must to know about it from a muslim. no offence
15. If the universe is a manifestation of Rahma (Mercy) then wherefore evil? Surely it follows that evil would only be an illusion?
16. THE AQEEDA OF IBN ARABI
    Mohiuddin Ibn Arabi (died 1240 CE ) is the Sheikh Ul Arefeen for all the Sufis
    
    Read what he says,
     
    Ibn ‘Arabi. The Sufi Shaykh said:
    “The believer praises the Divinity which
    conforms to his own belief and connects
    himself to it in this way; but, all acts
    return to their author, so that the believer
    praises himself, as the work praises its
    artist, all perfection and all lack that it
    manifests falling back on its author. In the
    same way, the Divinity (as such, which)
    conforms to the belief is created by he who
    concentrates on It, and It is his own work.
    In praising that which he believes, the
    believer praises his own soul, it is because
    of that he condemns other beliefs than his
    own; if he was just, he would not do it ... If
    he understood the sense of the word of Djunayd:
    ‘The color of water is the color of its
    receptacle’, he would admit the validity of all
    the beliefs, and he would recognize God in
    every form and every object of faith.”28 
    Ibn ‘Arabi. Wisdom of the Prophets, p. 132.
