Question for shia and sunni Muslims alike. Enlighten me on marifat. How does one achieve it? What does it do? What is it? And if you can, also give me resources to read up on it. I believe this topic is mainly shia.

>I believe this topic is mainly shia.
it's not shias have irfan as their concept for mysticism
I meant Irfan actually. Is marifat something different?
>marifat
it's what sufis do
Ah I see. That's not what i want, i want Irfan and whatever sunni Islam has as perfection of knowledge if anything.
i don't know read mulla sadra or something
I think i need some even deeper type of knowledge, knowledge deemed heretical by orthodox shia Islam.
I dont know of any translated ghulat works
All Sunni Muslims should belong to a Tariqa and perfect their faith by the Shaykh's guidence.
Salafis are to Islam what KJV only Baptists are to Christianity.
I'm a 'merifat. AMA.
Doesn’t exist in Islam, if you want sufi fairytales to boost your ego go ask your local grave worshiper. In islam the message is clear and known - tawheed. Claiming otherwise implies the prophet withheld his knowledge .
>In Islam the message is clear and known - tawheed
This. You guys think that the prophets got their visions from some sort of cheat code that they typed in... They only became prophets because they worshipped God alone even if nobody else did; not because they were smart or handsome
So if you want to get the knowledge they had, I'd start by doing what all Muslims do: study the Quran. The Quran doesn't contain secret knowledge, but it contains the framework for all knowledge

Stupid salafis

Depends on which Sufi lodge that you are a part of because they all pretty much have their own rituals/answers.
In the traditional schools of Sunnis and Twelver Shi'ites the goal is to achieve ihsan, which is to worship Allah as if you could see him, a harmonious perfection of both Islam (worship and outwards expressions of faith) and Iman (faith itself and true creed).
Is there a limit to yaqeen? (Certitude)
Muraqaba works, worked for muhammad in the cave of hira didnt it
