Explanation of the invalidity of the Sufis' claim in distinguishing between apparent and hidden knowledge, and their claim that there are two realities: a Shari'ah reality and an inner reality
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In his right, so they began asking me to treat the problem for which they knew no cure, from person to person, from place to place; until they came to a man who said to them: This man, the only one who can point you to his problem is so-and-so, go to him, for he is the one with two wings; meaning he combined the Shari'ah with the reality. They went to him and said to him: The story is such and such. He said: Ha, this is the grocer, and I call him a man of hashish!! This is one of the great awliya (close friends of Allah) and righteous people. Take the treatment of your Shaykh, you should appease this hashish wali, and he will be pleased with the Shaykh, and the Shaykh will return as he was. They went to him, they went to him and said to him: O our Master, do not hold it against the Shaykh, the Shaykh did not know your rank. Meaning, just as the so-called one with two wings, who combined the reality with the Shari'ah, guided them, so they continued to appease him until the hashish wali was pleased with the learned Shaykh who enjoins good and forbids evil. And one man was sleeping and healthy, and he felt that the group truly, the words of the one with two wings are correct, hey, the Shaykh returned as he was. The Shaykh in turn began to apologize to the hashish wali, saying do not hold it against us, we did not know your rank, your station with Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Where is the lesson? The hashish wali said to this scholar: You, O Shaykh, think that I sell hashish the narcotic?! I sell hashish that looks like hashish, but its effect is the opposite of hashish, so no one buys from me but is cured from drinking hashish!!
Thus they nullify the rulings of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and the minds of people, so that they enslave them and make them submit. And we know Shaykhs in Damascus, the Levant, and a man in Aleppo who openly state in their public lessons in the large mosques: If you see the Shaykh has hung the cross around his neck, do not rebuke him; because he sees what you do not see, and knows what you do not know. And the proof of that is, listen to the following story:
There was a Shaykh with followers and disciples. He said to one of them: Come, my son, go and bring me your father's head. Obedience and submission, that is how the boy was taught that if the Shaykh orders, he must be obeyed even if it contradicts the Shari'ah. The boy went to the house and severed his father's head from his body while he was sleeping next to his wife, and came to his Shaykh happy and delighted. Why? Because he carried out the Shaykh's order. The Shaykh smiled laughing, he said to him: A cigarette, he said to him: Do you think that you killed your father? He said: O my son, your father is traveling, but this is your mother's companion. I ordered you to kill your father? Far be it from Allah!! But this companion of your mother is committing zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) with her, and therefore I ordered you to kill him. The poor people are intoxicated with this type of opium that the owners of opium do not know. When the Shaykh tells this story and with this result, you will find the mosque filled with noise, why? With takbir (saying Allahu akbar) and glorification, by Allah...!!
This story happened in Ramadan, one of the Ramadans of years, about ten years ago, and I was there. One of our brothers came to me after we prayed tarawih in some of the deserted mosques according to the Sunnah, and we were at that time gathering at the beginning of the da'wah (calling others to Islam) in my shop, and I was repairing watches. He said to me: Do you know what Shaykh So-and-so told today? I said to him: No, what did he tell? He mentioned this story to me. And in this narration, a person close to this friend of mine, exactly his maternal cousin, passes by, and he is known as Abu Yusuf. This is one of the disciples of the Shaykh who told this story. The truth, O our brothers, we must praise Allah (Mighty and Majestic) who has spared us from this type of opium; because this is more dangerous than material opium. Material opium, it is true, makes a person unconscious, but not for a long time. But this spiritual opium is lost, deprived, gone, and the proof is in the full story. Abu Yusuf passed in front of the shop, and his friend, who is his maternal cousin, called him: O Abu Yusuf, come. He entered, and he said to him: What do you think of tonight's lesson, the Shaykh's lesson? He said to him: By the will of Allah, manifestations!! We have a joke in the Levant, or in Damascus in particular. =
-- Another questioner: A big glass?
The Shaykh: A big cold one, I don't want it. --
= In Damascus, in a specific neighborhood of the Christians called "Bab Tuma," there is a shop owner with two fronts who sells khamr (intoxicants), and on the sign it is written "Tajalliyat Baqala," Baqala is the Christian owner of the shop, and he names it by a name other than its true name, as is the custom, "Tajalliyat Baqala." So when these Sufis hear us saying, by the will of Allah, they say: Manifestations!! We follow it: Tajalliyat Baqala!!
The point: By the will of Allah - he says to Abu Yusuf - Tajalliyat Baqala!! He said to him: What do you think of this story, hey? He said: It is true, you are a group of Wahhabis who deny the karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person) of the awliya (close friends of Allah), ha, hey, it entered his mind that it is a karamah. Our friend entered, and he is in his state, meaning in knowledge like his maternal cousin Abu Yusuf, he entered with him in a discussion. I was sitting behind the table repairing watches, I felt that there was no benefit between the two; no result, no fruit. I said: I must intervene in the matter. I stood up and sat next to them, and I began to talk to Abu Yusuf, and I said to him: O Abu Yusuf, may Allah bless you, pay attention, the story indicates to you that it is a fabrication. We say, we say about a misfortune: a fabrication. You do not see how the Shaykh says: Hey, your mother, this man is not your father, so because he is committing zina with her, I ordered you to slaughter and kill him, otherwise I would say to you: slaughter your father?!
Well; here it is clear that there is ignorance from two sides. The first side: Is it permissible for anyone other than the Muslim ruler to carry out the hudud (the fixed Qur'anic punishments)? No, because it causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) among people. Second: Is the hadd (fixed punishment) for the married adulterer to have his head severed from his body, or to be stoned with stones until he dies?! And a third and final thing: Why did he carry out the hadd on this adulterer, who may not be married, and left the woman with whom he committed zina as she was? So it is clear that the story is a fabrication, and it does not need discussion, meaning, there is no benefit. Deaf, dumb, blind, they do not understand.
Finally: I said: We have no weapon left except the weapon of emotion, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah. I said to him: O Abu Yusuf, now briefly; if the Shaykh, your Shaykh who told you this story, ordered you to slaughter your father, would you do it? A very embarrassing question. What is supposed to be the answer for one of the general Muslims if asked this question? That he says: I seek refuge in Allah, I kill my father!! Do you know what he said? He said: I have not reached that rank. And he fled and left. I addressed him in our Syrian language, I said to him: May you never, if Allah wills, reach it!! He considers that reaching the rank, if ordered by the Shaykh to kill your father, slaughter him; by the will of Allah! He reached it! So he has not yet reached it! We said to him: May you never, if Allah wills, reach it. Therefore the cure is returning to the Book and the Sunnah, and not to "so-and-so said" and "so-and-so said" and story and tale and so on.
Yes. Please.
