Explaining the gravity of the belief in the unity of existence

The Shaykh : All of this stems from a belief called the belief in the unity of existence, which is adopted by some of the great Sufis who are worshipped today alongside Allah (Mighty and Majestic), led by "Muhyi al-Din ibn 'Arabi," who is buried here in Damascus, and "Ibn al-Farid," the famous Sufi, and "Mawla Rumi" among the Turks, and many others. These are facts we know from experience through our long lives. Once, during Ramadan, while I was in my shop, after we had prayed the tarawih, a young man came in and said to me: "Are you so-and-so?" I said: "Yes." He said: "Do you say that al-Khidr died?"
I said: "Yes, Allah said: , al-Khidr died." He said: "No, he did not die; al-Khidr exists." I said to him: "O man, fear Allah, and do not speak without knowledge." He said to me—and this is the point: "I swallowed Allah and Muhammad." I swallowed, do you say the word "swallowed"? It means I swallowed. I swallowed Allah and Muhammad, and he was not satisfied; he illustrated it and said: ... This is a person who does not believe in Allah, in Muhammad, in the prophets, in humans, in angels, in jinn, in pigs, in dogs; all these things you see are Allah. And the meaning of this belief is "that there is no god"! This exists in many of the beliefs of Muslims as a religion and as one of the paths, but sometimes the effects of this belief appear among the general Muslims who have no connection to Sufism or the Sufis.
Yes, he did something to stand up in order to learn the Sunnah. May Allah reward him with good [The Shaykh laughs!].
For example, one of their people, meaning the ordinary people—now we are not talking, thank you, I am still on the dessert—says, and he is from the general public and their intellectuals, but it is not a Sufi culture; however, what they say is an effect of that Sufi culture, but it is a very dangerous effect; because it contradicts Islam in the core of the creed. What does one of their people say? "Allah is present in every place." Is there anyone who hears this speech? "Allah is present in every place, Allah is present in all existence." But this speech is disbelief itself; how is this? Because it contradicts that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is free of need from all creation, and whoever says: "Allah is in every place," the place did not exist and then it came into being, and because it did not exist and then it came into being... or rather, if I rest, I will start drinking, you and I, and you are sitting.
