Wahdat-ul-Wajood in the Light of Quran
Before the evidence is presented, readers must note that evidence is of two guides: Explicit and Indirect.The words, Wahdat-ul-Wajood, will not be in the quotations but the doctrine which these words express will be in the quoted verses.
Sura An-Nur (Ayat an-Nur) {24} Verse 35: "Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth."
Sura Al-Baqara {2} Verse 115: "To Allah belong the east and the West: Whithersoever ye turn, there is the presence of Allah. For Allah is all-Pervading, all-Knowing."
Sura Al-Hadid {57} Verse 3: "He is the First (awwal) and the Last (akhir), the Evident {zahir} and the Immanent {batin}: and He has full knowledge of all things."
The creation of Allah exists and the creation is not part of Allah nor Allah is part of creation because Allah says "lysaka misli shai" {there is nothing like Him}.
Allah's existence is absolute on who's existence all the creation exists and the real {haqiqi} existence is of Allah's.
If the '{haqiqi} existence' is defined as:
"Qul hu'wAllahu Aa'had, Allahu Samad, Lamya lid Wa lamyu'lad, Wa lamyaqulla'hu kufu'wan ahad. Hu wal aw'walu wal'akhiru wa'zahiru wal'batinu wahuwa bikulli shayin AAaleemun. Alhamdu lillahi rabil alameen ..."
Then its apparent that nothing exists as such, thus nothing fulfils the criteria being in existence other than Allah's Wahdat, Allah's Ahadi'at, (Allah's Unity, One'ness), and only He is the one who exists {as defined above} and all existence of creation does not exist when it is compared to Allah's existence {as defined above}.
Wahdat-ul-Wujood is the realization of tawhid on a level which neither can be discovered by reading texts nor understood by listening to speeches, its source of knowledge is Shahood (witnessing) of tauheed, being witness to the One's Oneness. And when Witnessing His Holy Being, there can be no trace of creation in Him nor around Him, neither He co-exists in creation, nor creation co-exists with Him. One who witness's the Glory of Allah, He witness's Him as if there is no other creation in existence, cause Allah's Existence is Limitless, and its not possible to conceive when Witnessing the Limit-less (Allah) that Limited (Creation) ones do exist as well.
Sheikh Muhi'ud Din Ibn e Arabi rahimullah alayhi tallah, explained his spiritual journey, which lead to this realization, and the realization was based on Shahood, hence he described it in terms as he saw it.
The ignorant ones, of little intellectual ability, ones who have no knowledge of religion, neither those who have understood the Qur'anic verses have objected to this doctrine of Wahdat-ul-Wajood, but their objection demonstrates their lack of understanding tawhid e Wahdat-ul-Wajood.
