The claim that the Shaykh al-Islam received revelation from Allah in a dream
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
So, regarding the path of the Sufis, it is mentioned that Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him)
The Shaykh:
Welcome.
The questioner:
He showed him this and that. If this were true, why would we deny that some people saw the mosque in a dream and were told?
The Shaykh:
This is attributed to Shaykh al-Islam. Perhaps if it happened in a single incident, it could happen to Shaykh al-Islam and others. But that he is constantly shown things in dreams and told, this is the methodology of the Sufis. Exactly, yes. This means that Shaykh al-Islam constantly receives from Allah. This is an exaggeration and an extreme view. Only the Messengers (peace and blessings be upon them) receive from Allah. As for the followers of the Messengers, they take from the Sunnah of the Messengers and the guidance of the Messengers (peace and blessings be upon them), and among them is Shaykh al-Islam. Yes.
