Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: In our country, Senegal, there is a Sufi sect called al-Lahiniyyah. They claim that the founder of this method is a prophet. They say that the one who descended in Makkah was a white man, meaning Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). As for the one who descended with us, he was a black man. His question is: What is the ruling on the followers of this method?
Answer:
Muhammad did not descend; he did not descend from the sky. Muhammad did not descend. No prophet descends from the sky except Gabriel (peace be upon him). All the prophets and all the messengers are on earth. Yes.
