Sufism emphasizes the experiential oneness with which deity name in Islam?

• A. Yaweh
• B. Brahman
• C. Vishnu
• D. Allah

Answer: (D)

Sufism emphasizes experiential closeness to Allah, the name for God in Islam, through direct awareness of the divine presence. Practitioners cultivate this intimate sense of oneness with the Creator by practices like dhikr (remembrance) and through spiritual states such as fana, the annihilation of the ego, followed by baqa, remaining in God. The goal is a lived, transformative unity with Allah within an Islamic framework, not with deities from other traditions. That’s why Allah is the correct reference—Yahweh belongs to Judaism (and Christianity in some contexts), while Brahman and Vishnu are Hindu concepts.
