The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man appeared on one of the satellite channels and said that the wali (close friend of Allah) should adopt the character of Allah and be described with the attributes of Allah, and if he does so, Allah will reveal to him the secrets of His creation. Is this statement correct?

The Shaykh:
This is the talk of the Sufis. This is the talk of the Sufis.

The presenter:
And the two men. This one is probably a Sufi.

The Shaykh:
He answers from what he has, yes.

The presenter:
Honorable Doctor.

The Shaykh:
Only some of the messengers are granted knowledge of the hidden things with Him
(26) [He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone (27) Except whom He has approved of messengersعَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَىٰ مِن رَّسُولٍ
[Al-Jinn 72:26-27]
So how can this poor person know what is with Him, Mighty and Majestic? This is ignorance of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
