"The love of God became the hallmark of Sufism. Sufis may
well have been influenced by the Christian ascetics of the Near East, but
Muhammad remained a crucial influence. They hoped to have an experience of God
that was similar to that of Muhammad when he had received his revelations.
Naturally, they were also inspired by his mystical ascent to heaven, which
became the paradigm of their own experience of God."
