Abstract
Mysticism / Sufism, it may be underscored, is an integral part of all religions. As a rule, mystical way of life, helps us to purge off all animal passions and makes our heart vibrant with the remembrance of God. Sufi / mystic, in brief, can be characterized as a God-intoxicated man as his thoughts and deeds are meant exclusively to seek the pleasure / blessings of God Almighty. It may be emphasized that in Islam a genuine Sufi / mystic cannot proclaim to have received a new form of knowledge (as it would run counter to our fundamental faith in the finality of the prophecy and prophet-hood); however, he can legitimately proclaim to have attained a new level of understanding whereby he can appreciate the inner secrets and verities of religion. This delicate point, we wish to observe, should not be lost sight of in our readings of the works of great mystics of Islam or for that reason great mystics of any other religion. This article is meant to highlight the same point.
