Mansur Al Hallaj And Other Sufis
Question is :
I read about mansur al hallaj , a sufi who got executed because he was saying an al haq which they say it means I am the truth ; which indirectly I suppose he was saying that I am God.
Basically he was saying that God is actually residing in us or that there is nothing but God and we are His light.
Now this our ulama say its wahdat al wujood. Is this according to Quran and correct hadiths correct? Soem people say normal ulama don’t understand this so leave it. But I can’t help and I think about it a lot.
So was he right? I read about his story and it says other sufi were saying he knows the truth but his sin was that he was telling this to common people which is not allowed in sharia. It’s a secret gift of knowledge to those who have reached very closesness to God. Is this right in islam?
Because I have read now a lot about this concept and I am starting to think perhaps they are right because it is making sense to me. But on the other hand some verses of Quran do not allow me to believe it fully.
But on the other hand I am just an average quran reader and I dont know a lot about it.
So can you shed light upon this matter ? And what can an average muslim do when eh come across such stuff?
Jazakumullah khair.

Sufis believe in pantheism Wahdatul Wujud). This is an old philosophical mystic concept found in the old Greek philosophers and Hindus, it traveled into Muslims in the later centuries when non-Arab peoples embraced Islam. The Quran outrightly rejects it. The Christians believe in three godheads and mean them one. God did not accept their philosophy and called it Kufr and Shirk. Pantheism is the same. It maintains that the whole universe is the manifestation of God. It is Kufr and Shirk and the philosophy is not acceptable.

And even ibn arabi is then doing shirk?
