Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu


All Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved, and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam

It seems as if Data Sahib was in favour of wahdat-al-wujud as is shown in his book called 'Kashf-al-Mahjub'.

For a more detailed read, please refer to the above book on tasawwuf, translated by Mufti Ghulam Muin uddin Na'imi Rehmatullahi ’Alaih, Razvi Publications, pages 402-406.


Jazak'allah for your question.
