Abstract

Islam has its way and system of redefining. It is identified by new study and examination executed taking into consideration the improvement in knowledge with the evolved comprehension of the Quran, Hadith, agreement of the recognized imams besides the principles of reason and intellection. This system of rethinking and redefining is spread across Tafsīr, theology, fiqh, taṣawwuf, philosophy, and socio-political thought. In this paper, we shall attempt to present below the understandings and assessments of Mawlānā Ashraf ‘Alī Thānvī ^{(رحمة الله‎)} concerning Quran oriented or centric Taṣawwuf.
