Which are the best books refuting Sufism and its dangers for the Westerner? I read Guenon, but was unconvinced of Sufism as something good.
It seems Muhammad was just confused by a demon, and believed in this himself before he was convinced otherwise by a heretical Christian (!).

>- But Muslim preachers now often say that the Koran contains some knowledge about the world, which became known to science only in the twentieth century.

>- Even if this were the case, in itself it does not yet testify to the inspiration of the scriptures, since, as you know, demons have more knowledge about the structure of the created world than humans, and there is nothing unusual here.

>That is, the criterion is not to know the hidden things, which a person does not know, but to know the future, which is known only to God alone?

>- Yes, that's it. Demons do not know the future, because for this you need to be above time. They can give short-term and long-term forecasts, but the more long-term the forecast, the more often they are wrong - remember the "prophecies" of Nostradamus. And to know about the structure of the temporal created world is not difficult for them. However, as far as the Koran is concerned, most often its "scientific predictions" are simply absurd.

>> No.19168298

>>19168297

>- Finally, fourthly, it is necessary to talk about the personality of Muhammad. Even an ethnic Muslim just needs to hear in detail how the first "revelation" took place on Mount Hira, how the "Archangel Jibriil" literally squeezed out the first chapter of the Koran from Muhammad. This is a very striking evidence. Here you can also recall the name of Sura 74 - ""the Cloaked One", which, as you know, reproduces the situation of receiving "revelations" when Muhammad fell in convulsions, blew foam at his mouth, which from the point of view of the Gospel is a classic case of demonic possession. As a matter of fact, Muhammad himself believed so until he was deceived. And so, just a story about it is quite enough. Even convinced Muslims, after such a story, begin to think.

>- I know of cases when people were voluntarily seduced into Islam, and these cases have not yet ended in a return to God. These are cases among a special type of "advanced" Moscow intelligentsia, people who converted to Islam of the Sufi persuasion, they still remain there, and for them Islam is rather one of the forms of occultism, as they themselves say, one of the forms of the "primordial tradition ". They convert to Islam following the example of René Guénon. These are the so-called traditionalists, they often mimic the Orthodox (a famous example is Alexander Dugin). At the same time, they sometimes do not hide their sympathy for Satanism. One and the same person can approve of Sufi Islam and at the same time approve of Aleister Crowley's activities. So this tendency really takes place among certain circles of the patriotic intelligentsia. For them, seduction to Islam often occurs under the slogan of anti-Americanism. I have personally met such people. Most of them are unlikely to return to the Church. They consider themselves already enlightened, superintellectuals who do not need such a "trifle" as Truth. They are not interested in the Truth.

I don't think you need a book to identify the non-sequiters on the epistemic framework of their theology.
Unlike Orthodoxy, it has weak philosophical justification such as Allah essentially being rationalized into Natural Theological monism i.e. an uncarrying unpersonal force that can't enter space & time due to his indivisibility and thus can never experience his Creation. Also Allah isn't omnipresent since he apparently can't exist by bathrooms since they are "unclean".

Not to mention that Islam is essential Neo-Manicheism where they are stuck in such pointless dialectic tension that they consider Creation (and thus humanity) to be inherently evil. But it begs too many questions in its metaphysical conclusions that the whole thing collapses on itself
e.g.
Why would Allah's creations be evil?
How is Allah's actions (energies) indistinct from his essence (no essence/energy distinction)?
How can man compare themselves to Allah if Allah is unknowable in essence & energy?

I don't like to post in this satanic thread, but you got it halfway right. There are three major kinds and a lot of minor kinds: Purely exoteric legalistic Islam, which is Sunnism; the variant that privilages esotericism and inward spirituality over legalism, Sufism and Ismailism fall into this kind; and there is one that puts equal focus on exoteric and esoteric practice, namely Twelver Shiism.

Chrono-Ontological justification.
If God can exist both inside and outside of space & time (as in Christ taking on both Human & God Natures (Dyophysitism)), then God ages through space & time as well as we've seen with Baby Jesus and Adult Jesus and the Ancient of Days.
Logically it is required so that personhood/identity is maintained in the Trinity:
The Father sees His Image in a possible world (let's say this reality), recognizes his Son as Himself, and is reciprocated in agape through the Holy Spirit between them. Thus the relationship between Divine Father & Son is always connected and recognized through the Holy Spirit in a regeneratively circular process known as Perichoresis: every interaction of and between the Trinity justifies their divine relationship further, eternally, and in all realities within an infinitely expanding omnipresence. Thus the Trinity is always in a state of maximized potential through this mechanism where the Son proceeds from the Father and together with the Son is worshiped and glorified; it acts as a Divine Polygon, thee metaphysical building block, on which all Creation is built upon.

None of these arguments are convincing because you are responding to things no actual intelligent Muslim uses as an argument against the trinity or God's omnipresence. We don't say Allah doesn't enter space and time because He is indivisible, we say that attributing a son to Allah is a lie against Him because Allah owns all the glory in the heavens and the earth, and when you have a son, your glory is naturally shared with that son, and that son inherits your Godhead, which is why the Qur'an says that if Allah were to have a son, Muhammad would be one of his worshippers, peace be upon him. The problem is He doesn't have a son, and people are given less for disbelieving in Allah, let alone attributing to Him lies that He never claimed for Himself.

Anywho, we have the Qur'an and the messenger of Allah as our criterion, which is how we filter through the truths and the lies about Allah, since it is His direct uncreated word and testimony concerning Him and His works.

>> No.19168848

Again, all of these are lies that you are going to have to answer to, since none of this was revealed by Allah. This is just your apology for a belief system that Allah did not legislate.

Islamic theology is strictly prophetic. Saying that we have to justify prophetic teachings philosophically is a non-sequitor. Allah sent prophets, not philosophers. We do not need to justify what they say philosophically because we have faith in their message like elderly desert women. It seems you haven't had Pascal's night of fire yet!
