 After tawhîd, the remaining two principles of Islamic faith are prophecy (nubuwwa) and the Return (ma‘âd), a word that is often translated loosely as eschatology. For both philosophers and Sufis, discussion of prophecy focused on human deiformity, and the issues they raised led theologians and jurists to accuse them of claiming to be greater than the prophets; Ibn ‘Arabî in particular was the center of a long controversy over the relative merits of prophet and saint (Chodkiewicz 1993b).
