How do we define real Islamic teachings? For me, Sufism is the real heart of Islam. And in Sufism we find the concept of
Wahdat al-Wujud.
From Wikipedia:
Ibn Arabi's doctrine of wahdat ul wujud focuses on the esoteric reality of creatures instead of exoteric dimension of reality. Therefore he interprets that wujud is one and unique reality from which all reality derives. The external world of sensible objects is but a fleeting shadow of the Real (al-Haq), God. God alone is the all embracing and eternal reality. ... To call wujud or Real Being "one" is to speak of the unity of the Essence.
