The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner: Respond to himThe Shaykh ... .
The Shaykh: This is one of their beliefs. They say that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the origin of existence, — as the Exalted said in the Noble Qur'an — [Ali 'Imran 3:144] to the end of the verse. They say — and perhaps you have heard this — that Muhammad was created from the light of Allah. Have you heard this or not?
The questioner : I did not hear you.
The Shaykh: It exists in Syria, and it exists in Jordan, and there is even a hadith narrated that says:. Have you not heard this hadith from you?
The questioner: I heard this from al-Sha'rawi.
The Shaykh: Ha! [Everyone laughs] It landed just as they say it lands on her feet, see? And this is how falsehood is refuted. How did Allah create Muhammad from His light? And? The hadith is authentic, as I mentioned earlier: .
Then, we know from the lineage of the Messenger that he is Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib, and so on, and then the chain of lineage breaks off. But in any case, who is his first ancestor? Adam (peace be upon him); because you are all — as he (peace be upon him) said in the authentic hadith —Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3956Hasan (Darussalam). How can Muhammad remain, with Allah knows how many ancestors between him and Adam, and then he was created from light before them? This requires faith, it requires a large brain that does not exist in this universe to believe in such superstitions!! As for the general Muslim public and some of the specific ones among them, and you are a witness to them,The Shaykh : al-Sha'rawi believes in this superstition!! This hadith is not in al-Bukhari, nor in Muslim, nor in the four Sunan, nor in the Forty, nor in the Four Hundred. There is absolutely no basis for this hadith, except, if the expression is correct, in the brains of the fabricators. It only exists there. Is this Islam?!
Islam: Allah said, His Messenger said... the Companions said, not by deception
to the end of what Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner: Respond to himThe Shaykh ... .
The Shaykh: This is one of their beliefs. They say that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the origin of existence,
And Muhammad is
وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌnot but a messenger. [Other] messengers have passed on before him. So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels
إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَفَإِينْ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْThe questioner : I did not hear you.
The Shaykh: It exists in Syria, and it exists in Jordan, and there is even a hadith narrated that says:
The first thing Allah created was the light of your Prophet, O Jabir
أوَّل ما خلق الله نور نبيِّك يا جابرThe questioner: I heard this from al-Sha'rawi.
The Shaykh: Ha! [Everyone laughs] It landed just as they say it lands on her feet, see? And this is how falsehood is refuted. How did Allah create Muhammad from His light? And
The first thing Allah created was the light of your Prophet, O Jabir
أوَّل ما خلق الله نور نبيِّك يا جابرThe first thing Allah created was the Pen, and He said to it: Write. It said: What shall I write? He said: Write what is destined to happen until the Day of Resurrection
أوَّل ما خلق الله القلم ، فقال له : اكتب ، قال : ما أكتب ؟ قال : اكتب ما هو كائن إلى يوم القيامةThen, we know from the lineage of the Messenger that he is Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib, and so on, and then the chain of lineage breaks off. But in any case, who is his first ancestor? Adam (peace be upon him); because you are all — as he (peace be upon him) said in the authentic hadith —
and the people are the children of Adam, and Adam is from dirt
كلُّكم من آدم وآدم من ترابIslam: Allah said, His Messenger said... the Companions said, not by deception
to the end of what Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said.
