    Abstract: This study tries to criticize theology of Eckankar School according to Islamic teaching especially from the shiite viewpoint. Paul Twitchell, one of current remarkable founders of Eckankar School, claims that the Eckandar’s God, is Allah, the Muslim’s God. This claim is evaluated in three branches with regarding Islamic and Shiite viewpoint: Sugmad’s names, attributes and activities, Sugmad’s recognition possibility, Sugmad’s recognition and reaching methods. The results illustrate that, there is a long distance and huge difference between Ecknkar’s theology and Isamic Shiite theology. The study’s method is descriptive explaining, along with critical view that has reintegrated in three parts.
