Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: One of the lecturers made this statement, and we want the legal ruling on his words. He said that whoever reads the Qur'an with depth, delves into its verses, and extracts the pearls and gems from it, becomes a divine slave, such that when he says to a thing, "Be," it becomes. After he said this, we discussed it with him regarding his statement, but he persisted in it. What is his ruling, and what is the ruling on his statement?
Answer:
This is an exaggeration. The one who says to a thing, "Be," and it becomes, is Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Allah the Exalted said:[Ya-Sin 36:82] This is for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). As for the created being, he is incapable; he cannot say this about himself. This means that he is imitating Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in His command. It is obligatory to abandon this statement. It is obligatory to abandon this statement, and it is obligatory for this lecturer to retract this statement. This statement was said by the Sufis from the beginning, and it is new. They said that a person reaches a level where the Sufi reaches a level where he says to a thing, "Be," and things extend to his command. They consider this a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person). This is from the methodology of the Sufis, so this statement is not permissible. Therefore, this lecturer must retract it all, realize the exaggeration, and not be influenced by the words of the Sufis. He should know what is correct is correct.

Answer:
This is an exaggeration. The one who says to a thing, "Be," and it becomes, is Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Allah the Exalted said:
command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.
