Also, one finds it very difficult to ascertain what ibn Arabi is trying to say, so his work should be reserved for the high calibre scholars.
Yes Abu Muhammed.. this was the deciding factor where the balance of even some major scholars wavered in history..
May Allah سبحانه وتعالى Bless Hakeem ul Ummat Hazrat Thanwi رحمة الله عليه that when this ball of complexities reached his hands he separated the threads one by one.. meticulously..
That many such litanies which since ages had been raised to the rank of Masnoon were replaced by the authentic Adhkar of Nabi .. and Tasawwuf was revived again in the light of kitaab & sunnah..
while suspicions and ghuloo were cast upon the Chishtiya Mashaikh he wrote As'Sunnat ul Jaleeya fi Chishtiyatul Aliya - as a refutation of Assumptions and Accusations from both sides- the Ahlul Bidah who with their defective understanding of the Chishti Mashaikh made them a scape goat for their own waywardness & corruption.. as well as those who blatantly accused them of not being on the Kitaab and Sunnah which infact they were strictly adherent to.
As regards to Shaikh Muhiyuddin Ibn Arabi رحمة الله عليه and Shaikh Mansoor Al Hallaj رحمة الله عليه he guided Hazrat Maulana Zafar Ahmed uthmani رحمة الله عليه to write Al Qawl Al Mansoor fi Ibn Al Mansoor clearing the accusations.. striking a balanced view..
Mufakkir e islam Hazrat Maulana Syed Abul Hasan Ali sahab Nadwi رحمة الله عليه had also rendered his services in the completion of this book.. as shown here..
This is the book.. i had written a translation of the Muqaddamah by Hazrat Maulana Zafar Ahmed Uthmani رحمة الله عليه which i shall post here إن شاء الله
