Hi
I have recently read this article, which is a little too long to post here. The author captures some interesting thoughts about the inner life of Islam. There is a certain depth and maturity in his writing which has prompted me to post here.
If anyone has read it or feels like reading it and posting their thoughts and opinions, I would be curious to read them![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Here is a quote, on which one could focus their comments if they wish, if this becomes debatable the mods may wish to move this thread:
" The goal of the inward life in Islam is to reach the Divine as both the Transcendent and the Imminent. It is to gain a vision of God as the Reality beyond all determination and at the same time of the world as "plunged in God". It is to see God everywhere.[18] The inward dimension is the key for the understanding of metaphysics and traditional cosmology as well as for the penetration into the essential meaning of religion and of all religions, for at the heart of every authentic religion lies the one Truth which resides also at the heart of all things and most of all of man. There are of course differences of perspective and of form."
