The one who says, "We have delved into a sea where the prophets stood on the shore," and says, "We have inherited our knowledge from the Ever-Living Who does not die," and confuses the common people, saying, "I am al-Ghuth, I am Allah"

The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you, regarding the issue of declaring someone a disbeliever...
The Shaykh : Declaring someone a disbeliever, and what do you know about declaring someone a disbeliever? Declaring someone a disbeliever is a grave matter. This is the answer.
The questioner : Shaykh, we have this in our regions.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : In the lands, it is a very grave matter, because the people are in a state of much disbelief, with many words of disbelief and actions of disbelief. Until one of them says, "Shaykh, may Allah reward you," they say: "We have delved into a sea where the prophets stood on the shore". And they say, "We have inherited our knowledge, and you have inherited your knowledge, from the dead to the dead, and we have inherited our knowledge from the Ever-Living Who does not die". So there are many things, may Allah reward you, but the common people do not know where the truth lies. Then, the basis for them here is that they call them Wahhabis, which is very few and widespread, and they have no truth. Then the people attack them with poems and things, and everyone in a public street wishes to insult the Wahhabis. So when everyone turns away from them, they do not know that this is what is established with them, that they have the truth. So, Shaykh, may Allah reward you, some people among us enter some people into rooms, you... from days ago, then the Shaytan enters upon them and they go mad and lose their mind. The one who has lost his mind says, "I am al-Ghuth, I am Allah," until he prays and fasts and so on, but he says, "I am al-Ghuth, I am Allah." Shaykh, may Allah reward you, what is the fate of these common people who do not know the evidence? Then there are people of the Sunnah, but they are few. Sometimes they are imprisoned, and sometimes they are beaten with stones and things... so does everyone turn away?
The Shaykh : May He place blessing in you and in those like you. Indeed, Allah guides them through your hands. Yes, we ask Allah for that. And there is no doubt that there are imams who call to the Fire, may Allah protect us from that. Imams who call to the Fire. But, if Allah wills, there is blessing in you. And if Allah the Exalted wills and you go there, do not confront them with denial. Mention the truth, and the truth, with its light and its brilliance, is acceptable to souls, if Allah wills. The time is up, we will read.
Our Shaykh said, may Allah preserve him, the Exalted.
