(Explanation of the statement of the people of Wahdat al-Wujud that the reason for Musa’s rebuke of Harun regarding the worship of the calf by Bani Israel was) They said, and it was not a rebuke by Musa for what***

The Shaykh : Well, among their extreme statements, they said that Musa was not rebuking those who worshipped the calf; rather, he was rebuking those who did not worship it, because they were narrow in their pasture, as they thought that nothing is worshipped except Allah, whereas the reality in their view is that everything is worshipped, because everything is a god. And that Musa did not rebuke his brother Harun for his rebuke of them for worshipping the calf, but rather he rebuked him for why he rebuked them. Why did he rebuke them when they were the ones who did it? The reality was that it was narrow for them, meaning his soul could not bear the action of those who did what was the truth. Look how it is, meaning to this extent, and may Allah protect us from it, these are great extreme statements. Yes.
