Consider the following Assertion (A) and Reason (R) regarding the philosophical synthesis between Hinduism and Islam:
Assertion (A): The Sufi and Bhakti movements created an environment of mutual understanding, leading to a high degree of philosophical synthesis.

Select the correct answer from the codes given below:

Question

Accepted Answer

Both statements are correct. The philosophical core of both movements emphasized that God is omnipresent and the ultimate reality is one. Ibn Arabi’s Wahdat-ul-Wujud (which argued that everything in the universe is a manifestation of God) was remarkably similar to Shankara’s Advaita, facilitating deep intellectual and spiritual exchanges.
