  Salaam, Sukru
  Peace be upon you
  I hope you know my response was entirely tongue-in-cheek (farse)
  and that I popped-off only because I couldn't figure out its =
mysterious
  purpose. Same with the Bio Cell question. Yes, I have heard of them.
  ???????
  Please elucidate
  ----
  i didnt say bio cell...i said bios cell..the message i sent was not =
from 1997. i'm using same 166 mmx for the last 4 years..and i guess bios =
cell ran out of power..so when the comp goes off current date settings =
is not saved and each time i turn it on the date starts with 1 january =
1997 00:00. thats all the issue.=20

  as to why i posted the message...there are attempts to extract sufism =
from Islam and present it as a seperate belief system, which also have =
advocates on this list. Sufism is nothing without Islam. Mystics can =
pursue their own ways, i wish them a prosperous life. But Sufism is =
meaningful only with Islam. (btw, i accept Sufism as an Islamic term. I =
call mytics what people call non-muslim sufis)=20

  mystics have their own view of Unity. They try to seperate Ibn Arabi =
and other great Sufis from their Islamic character and portray them as =
mere humanitarian and mystical figures. Everyone may benefit from their =
works but  the problem is that they show them witness to their own =
un-Islamic views. Ibn Arabi, Rumi, Yunus Emre and others are meaningful =
only within Islam.=20

  Islam is haqiqat and tariqat is marifat. A real Sufi is one who best =
follows the example of the Prophet s.a.w, in all aspects of life. I'm =
not after monks who meditate by day and night but sufis who study, work, =
fight in the day for Allah and pray in the night for Allah. A muslim, if =
anyone wishes to be nominated as, should be aware that they are not just =
beholders of a belief system but builders of a civilization, which seeks =
goodness of all mankind. And most of the time a civilization is built on =
ink, sweat and blood, along with a high spirit.=20

  Wassalam,
  Sukru
