Question:
Assalamualaikkum to all the Shyukhs,
As per Sulthan al Awliya Mowlana Shaykh Nazim, Ibnu Arabi & SHk Abdul Qadir Jilanis teachings, we have studied about the 124000 Adams Alaihisalams. How can we answer a non Tareeqa-Sufi follower on this?
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
This is from the Futuhat al-Makkiyya of Muhyiddine ibn `Arabi; see al-Sha`rani al-Yawaqit wal-Jawahir on this issue. It is not an integral part of a Muslim’s `Aqida.
