The Shaykh :"Then these people are of two types: the extremists, and the non-extremists.
As for the extremists" the extremists who have gone deep into their school of thought "they claim that the prophets do not know the realities of these matters, and that among the philosophers of divinity and those who claim to be awliya (close friends of Allah), there are those who know these realities".
Philosophers of divinity; there are natural philosophers who do not speak about divinity, but speak about nature, its conditions, and its results. As for the issue of divinity and worship, they do not investigate it.
And there are philosophers of divinity who speak about Allah (Mighty and Majestic) according to their claim, and they make Him whatever they wish.
The extremists say: The prophets do not know the reality, do they? They heard a revelation that was revealed to them and were told to do such and such and to command the people...
"that among the philosophers, there are those who are more knowledgeable about Allah and the Last Day than the prophets, who are the most knowledgeable people about that".
