"The concept of ONE SUPREME CONSCIOUSNESS is most misunderstood in Islam as one God Allah, who is projected or shown as distinct from the world and the individual. There is a controversy and difference of opinion in Islam about Omnipresence of God. Hence they never accept the "Thou'art that" or " The Kingdom of God is within you" concepts. "
