Abstract

The seven degrees of existence in the Sufi tradition in Malaysia are considered a theological issue related to deviant teaching. Moreover, there is an opinion to accuse that doctrine as illegal generally. Such accusation significantly impacts society and the practitioner of Sufism in the tauhid from Sufi's methodology. This study aims to explain the misunderstanding of the seven degrees of existence and clarify the distinction between the characteristic of true and false tauhid based on the genuine Sufi methodology that is clarified authentically by prominent Sufi scholars. The study's methodology used historical and textual analysis from authentic Sufis literatuers. The finding from the study indicates that the seven degrees of existence are a succinct way to elaborate tauhid sufi that cannot be literally and linguistically perceived resulting in misinterpretation and misunderstanding. The seven degrees of existence should be elaborated and perceived by following the accurate Sufi methodology that is compliant with the fundamentals of principles approved collectively by theologians and Sufis. The true meaning of the seven degrees has differentiated between the degree of Divinity and the degree of creation is acceptable due to its compliance to the Akidah and Sharia. In contrast, the seven degrees that elaborated with the connotation of union and incarnation are strictly rejected as they contradict both principles.
