TRANSLATION

"The Koran accepts the fact that ultimately there is only one God. He is full of opulence, and His bodily complexion is blackish.


PURPORT

The revealed scripture of the Mohammedans is the Koran. There is one Mohammedan sampradāya known as the Sufis. The Sufis accept impersonalism, believing in the oneness of the living entity with the Absolute Truth. Their supreme slogan is "analahak." The Sufi sampradāya was certainly derived from Śaṅkarācārya's impersonalists.
