Discussion of the negligence of many people regarding the oneness of the names and attributes, and mentioning an example of this, which is the exaggeration of the Sufis in their sheikhs, where they say that their sheikhs

The Shaykh : And the oneness of the attributes is something that many Muslims also neglect today. This negligence manifests in various forms. For example, we find many students, students of knowledge, and especially those among them who are Sufis, who believe in their sheikhs that they know the unseen and that they read and look into what is in the breasts. One of them explicitly states that he is present in the mosque in the sheikh's lesson, and then the sheikh reveals what is in the heart of the disciple as a question, and answers him before the disciple directs the question. So they have attributed to the sheikh a quality, which is being the All-Knowing of what is in the breasts. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is the All-Knowing of what is in the breasts. So they have attributed this quality to their sheikhs, and thus they have disbelieved in the oneness of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in His attributes, one of which is that He is All-Knowing of what is in the breasts. And likewise, they have disbelieved in the saying of the Exalted, and they do not realize. Of course, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) explicitly states in this Qur'an that the unseen is not known except by Allah, on the one hand, and that Allah does not reveal this unseen except to a messenger He has chosen. So either those who believe that the sheikh looks into what is in the breasts have associated him with Allah in the attribute of looking into what is in the breasts, or they have disbelieved in the saying of the Exalted , or they believe, despite the saying of the Exalted So there is a messenger after our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). So however you turn this misguidance, the result is disbelief in a verse or more than one verse from the verses of Allah in the Noble Qur'an.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : This is impossible after the saying of the Exalted . This is one of the manifestations in which disbelief in the oneness of Allah in His attributes is embodied. They have attributed the quality of looking into the unseen to a human being from among humans. And from those manifestations is also the poem of al-Busiri, which they still recite, and even draw near to Allah with it as a means of nearness, in which they address the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with the words:
"For from Your generosity is the world and its neighbor, *** And from Your knowledge is the knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen"
He says, "And from Your knowledge is the knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen." This attributes to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) the quality of looking into the unseen, because the knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen is the entire unseen. The unseen is everything that is hidden from your mind. So among the qualities of the believers is belief in this unseen, and the first of the believers is the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). But if it is said that he knows what is in the Tablet and the Pen, as they say about some of the Sufis, that he looks into the Preserved Tablet and reads what will happen on that day and what will occur in the world, then this is not belief in the unseen, because belief in the unseen is to believe the Messenger in what he has reported. If you look into the unseen directly, then the intermediary between you and Allah, who is the Messenger of Allah, is removed. And this is denial of the Message. And when they say, and al-Busiri said, "And from Your knowledge is the knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen", they have disbelieved in the verses of the Qur'an in which Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has exclusively reserved the knowledge of the unseen for Himself. Even the Messenger said in the Qur'an about him, . Allah says this on his tongue, . That is another sign. The important thing is that Allah has reported this about His Prophet, and they report about their al-Busiri that he knows what is in the Preserved Tablet, "And from Your knowledge is the knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen." So by which statement do you believe? By what Allah reported in the Qur'an on his tongue (peace and blessings be upon him) , or by their statement that al-Busiri said, "And from Your knowledge is the knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen"? If we believe in this, we disbelieve in that, and if we believe in that, we disbelieve in this. So we believe in what Allah said and disbelieve in every statement that contradicts the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He). These are very painful realities. The Muslims have immersed themselves in denying them and contradicting them, to...
