Knowledge derived from kashf
Posted November 9th, 2009 by 'abd
Hadhrat Hakim al-Ummah Mawlana Ashraf Ali Thanawi (may Allah sanctify his secret) said,
“Since I now consider the knowledge derived from kashf unworthy of notice, I forbid people from discussing this with me, either orally or by way of writing. Although there was a time when I was engrossed in this knowledge, [so much so that] I would remain absorbed in this night and day, I now consider it (the knowledge derived from kashf) to be an impediment in reaching the goal.”
Bawadir al-Nawadir, page 589.
This is a salient feature of tarbiyet in the Ashrafiya path.
