Bismillah.
The shariat derives its sanction from ilm al-yaqin (knowledge through inference), tariqat from ain al-yaqin (knowledge through perception) and haqiqat from haq al-yaqin (knowledge through experience).
The one who treads the path of shariat
The shariat derives its sanction from ilm al-yaqin (knowledge through inference), tariqat from ain al-yaqin (knowledge through perception) and haqiqat from haq al-yaqin (knowledge through experience).
The one who treads the path of shariat
is the knower,
the one who treads the path of tariqat
the one who treads the path of tariqat
is the perceiver,
the one who treads the path of haqiqat
the one who treads the path of haqiqat
is the taster.
Thus, shariat is learning,
tariqat is burning
and haqiqat is illumination.
Thus, shariat is learning,
tariqat is burning
and haqiqat is illumination.
