The ulema were beginning to distinguish Islam sharply from
other religions, seeing it as the one, true faith, but Sufis by and large remained true to
the Koranic vision of the unity of all rightly guided religion. Jesus,
for example, was revered by many Sufis as the prophet of the interior life.
Some even amended the Shahadah, the profession of faith, to say: “There is no god but al-Lah and Jesus is his
Messenger,” which was technically correct but intentionally
provocative.
