The Relationship of the Murji'ah with the Jahmiyyah and the Position of the Sufis Regarding Knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Are the Murji'ah included under the Jahmiyyah?
Answer:
Because the Sufis, as you know, do not see the seeking of knowledge. They say, "You do not know, because knowledge occupies you from worship. Seeking knowledge occupies you from worship and from the remembrance of Allah. Devote yourselves to worship and remembrance, and the knowledge will come to you from Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) as inspiration from Allah." Satan tells them a lie. They disdain the seeking of knowledge, and for that reason they fell into what they fell into. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
