Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : What is your name?
The questioner : 'Abd al-Rahman Jum'a.
The Shaykh : Come on, 'Abd al-Rahman Jum'a.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Some of the Sufis have addressed this.
The Shaykh : First, is Jum'a a nickname for you or your father's name?
The questioner : It is my father's name.
The Shaykh : It is your father's name, so 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Jum'a, that is fine.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Some of the Sufis have addressed this verse, saying: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was obligated to convey the message, but for those after him, it is permissible to conceal it until after his death, and then convey it. Among them, the author of Jawahir al-Ma'ani claimed that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed the conveyance of Surat al-Fatihah ... after the coming of Ahmad al-Tijani?
The Shaykh : Look, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Jum'a, the absurdities of the Sufis and the Sufis are greater than mountains. Do you know the mountains of the Caucasus?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : You have not gone there, but you have heard of them. They are more severe than that. Great absurdities. Reciting the Fatiha, they say it is better than, yes, reciting the Fatiha is better than the Qur'an, I do not know, a hundred thousand times, yes.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Six thousand times. I seek refuge in Allah. May Allah grant us well-being. May Allah help you against them. But I advise you, if Allah wills, if Allah makes it easy for you to go there as da'is, do not engage in criticism. If you engage in criticism, they have supporters. But present the virtues of the correct religion and what the Salaf al-Salih were upon, and that is enough. Souls are inclined toward it. Yes, indeed.
