“Al-Hallaj has a special destiny. He came at a time when worldliness, the luxury, were inundating the Islamic world. His function was to act as kind of an antithesis to this, and he paid for it with his life, and he was very happy to do so. He smiled as he went to the executioner. That was done because it shook the conscience of the Islamic peoples of that time. But the vast majority, the vast, vast, vast majority of Sufis, they have not met the destiny of al-Hallaj. They have spoken about reaching "the Truth" and there is nothing dangerous about it.” WorldKindDoneDestinySpecialDangerousMetsConscienceFunctionPaidMajorityLuxuryIslamicReachingAlsVery HappySufiAntithesisExecutionersWorldliness Author:Seyyed Hossein Nasr
