Question:
Assalamualaikum,
I have been spending a lot of time reading the teachings of Hazrat Inayat khan and comparing it with the teachings of Naqshbandi Sufi Order. While the later is grounded to the compliance of the Quran and Sunnah, the former has a universal acceptance of all religions in the pursue of acquiring truth. It is imperative for Muslims or would be Muslims to be given a clear understanding of the differences in the teachings and if the universalism approach in obtaining the truth is compatible ultimately with Islam. I am grateful for the explanation.
Answer:
Wa `alaykum salam,
Please read Universal Sufism.
