Editing Inayat Khan (section)

==Teaching==
Inayat Khan's teaching emphasized the oneness of God ([[tawhid]]) and the underlying harmony of the revelations communicated by the [[prophets]] of all the world's great [[religions]]. His discourses treated such varied subjects as religion, art, music, ethics, philosophy, psychology, and health and healing. The primary concern of Inayat Khan's teaching was the mystical pursuit of God-realization.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Keesing |first1=Elisabeth de Jong |title=Inayat Answers |date=1977 |publisher=Fine Books Oriental |location=London |isbn=978-0856920080}}</ref> To this end he established an Inner School comprising four stages of contemplative study based on the traditional Sufi disciplines of ''mujahada'', ''muraqaba'', ''mushahada'', and ''mu‘ayyana'', which he rendered in English as concentration, contemplation, meditation, and realization.<ref name="message">{{cite book |author1=Hazrat Inayat Khan |title=The Sufi message of Hazrat Inayat Khan |volume=4, Healing and the mind world. |date=2019 |publisher=Sulūk Press; Omega Publications |location=Richmond, VA; USA |isbn=978-1941810309 |edition=Centennial}}</ref>{{rp|218–227}}
