You mentioned some of the sects, namely the Maturidiyyah, the Qadariyyah, and the Baha'i, so where do we find a definition of them?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned (may Allah preserve you) some of the sects, namely the Maturidiyyah, the Qadariyyah, and the Baha'i, so where do we find a definition of them?

Answer:
I did not mention the Baha'i; you are the one who mentioned it. Yes. And the Maturidiyyah is not a Sufi school; it is a school of figurative interpretation (ta'wil), like the Asha'irah. But the Qadariyyah, the Naqshbandiyyah, and so on, these are Sufi schools, paths called the Sufi paths. And some of those to whom they are attributed are innocent of them, such as 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani (may Allah have mercy on him). The Qadariyyah claim affiliation with Imam 'Abd al-Qadir, but he is innocent of them; they lie about him. Yes. As for the Baha'i, these are the ones who say that Allah is in the human being, and that the beauty in the human being is Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Yes.
