Innate Gnosis of God

Innate Gnosis of God

As can be inferred from the title of the book, the current writing will cover a special type of knowing the Almighty God, called "Innate gnosis". Although, innate gnosis is not the only way of knowing God, yet it enjoys special importance in the teachings of the divine prophets and according to one authentic source, it is the only path to true gnosis of God. Notwithstanding that the Noble Quran and traditions from Ahl al-bayt (A.S.) have laid great stress on matters concerning belief and ma’arif (gnostic knowledge), it is unfortunate that we have but little acquaintance with them. Ma’refat fitri (innate gnosis) is among this very Ma’aref (gnostic knowledge). Undoubtedly, much has been spoken on GFitrat” (innate disposition) and Ma’refat fitri but what is commonly inferred from them is quite different from that which has come down in the Quran and sunnah. The extent this present book has succeeded in fulfilling these requirements and recommendations is to be judged by the respected readers, scholars and researchers. The author expects to gain further by the recommendations and criticisms of these dear readers and seek their services in explaining the Islamic Ma’aref (gnostic knowledge).
