<p> The doctrine of the Sufis, a sect of Mohammedan mystics; imported into [[Mohammedanism]] the idea that the soul is the subject of ecstasies of [[Divine]] inspiration in virtue of its direct emanation from the Deity, and this in the teeth of the fundamental article of the Mohammedan creed, which exalts God as a being passing all comprehension and ruling it by a law which is equally mysterious, which we have only to obey; this doctrine is associated with the idea that the body is the soul's prison, and death the return of it to its original home, a doctrine of the dervish fraternity, of which the Madhi is high-priest. </p> | <p> The doctrine of the Sufis, a sect of Mohammedan mystics; imported into [[Mohammedanism]] the idea that the soul is the subject of ecstasies of [[Divine]] inspiration in virtue of its direct emanation from the Deity, and this in the teeth of the fundamental article of the Mohammedan creed, which exalts God as a being passing all comprehension and ruling it by a law which is equally mysterious, which we have only to obey; this doctrine is associated with the idea that the body is the soul's prison, and death the return of it to its original home, a doctrine of the dervish fraternity, of which the Madhi is high-priest. </p> | ||
