PAS : KE ARAH PEMERINTAHAN ISLAM YANG ADIL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Are the Sufi shaykhs really in contact with Allaah?
What is the place of sufism in Islam? What truth is there in
'religious experiences', contacts with the Divine, etc.?
Some people hold such phenomena in high regard, claiming
the similarities between experiences of people from
different religions and from opposite corners of the globe,
to be proof. How should people who claim to be sufis or
believers/followers of sufism be seen? Isn't prayer and
remembrance also a form of contact with the Almighty,
SWT?
Praise be to Allaah.
The word �Sufism� was not known at the time of the Messenger or
the Sahaabah or the Taabi�een. It arose at the time when a group of
ascetics who wore wool (�soof�) emerged, and this name was given to
them. It was also said that the name was taken from the word
�soofiya� (�sophia�) which means �wisdom� in Greek. The word is
not derived from al-safa� (�purity�) as some of them claim, because
the adjective derived from safa� is safaa�i, not soofi (sufi). The
emergence of this new name and the group to whom it is applied
exacerbated the divisions among Muslims. The early Sufis differed
from the later Sufis who spread bid�ah (innovation) to a greater extent
and made shirk in both minor and major forms commonplace among
the people, as well as the innovations against which the Messenger
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) warned us when he said,
�Beware of newly-invented things, for every newly-invented thing is
an innovation and every innovation is a going-astray.� (Reported by
al-Tirmidhi, who said it is saheeh hasan).
The following is a comparison between the beliefs and rituals of
Sufism and Islam which is based on the Qur�aan and Sunnah.
Sufism has numerous branches or tareeqahs, such as the
Teejaniyyah, Qaadiriyyah, Naqshbandiyyah, Shaadhiliyyah,
Rifaa�iyyah, etc., the followers of which all claim that their particular
tareeqah is on the path of truth whilst the others are following
falsehood. Islam forbids such sectarianism. Allaah says (interpretation
of the meaning):
�� and be not of al-mushrikoon (the disbelievers in the Oneness of
Allaah, polytheists, idolaters, etc),
Of those who split up their religion (i.e., who left the true Islamic
monotheism), and became sects, [i.e., they invented new things in
the religion (bid�ah) and followed their vain desires], each sect
rejoicing in that which is with it.� [al-Room 30:31-32]
The Sufis worship others than Allaah, such as Prophets and �awliya��
[�saints�], living or dead. They say, �Yaa Jeelaani�, �Yaa Rifaa�i�
[calling on their awliya�], or �O Messenger of Allaah, help and save�
or �O Messenger of Allaah, our dependence is on you�, etc.
But Allaah forbids us to call on anyone except Him in matters that are
beyond the person's capabilities. If a person does this, Allaah will
count him as a mushrik, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
�And invoke not, besides Allaah, any that will neither profit you, nor
hurt you, but if (in case) you did so, you shall certainly be one of the
zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers).� [Yoonus 10:106]
The Sufis believe that there are abdaal, aqtaab and awliya� (kinds of
�saints�) to whom Allaah has given the power to run the affairs of the
universe. Allaah tells us about the mushrikeen (interpretation of the
meaning):
�Say [O Muhammad]: ��And who disposes the affairs?� They will
say. �Allaah.��� [Yoonus 10:31]
The mushrik Arabs knew more about Allaah than these Sufis!
The Sufis turn to other than Allaah when calamity strikes, but Allaah
says (interpretation of the meaning):
�And if Allaah touches you with harm, none can remove it but He,
and if He touches you with good, then He is Able to do all things.�
[al-An�aam 6:17]
Some Sufis believe in wahdat al-wujood (unity of existence). They
do not have the idea of a Creator and His creation, instead they say
that everything is creation and everything is god.
The Sufis advocate extreme asceticism in this life and do not believe
in taking the necessary means or in jihaad, but Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
�But seek with that (wealth) which Allaah has bestowed on you, the
home of the Hereafter, and forget not your portion of legal
enjoyment in this world�� [al-Qasas 28:77]
�And make ready against them all that you can of power��
[al-Anfaal 8:60]
The Sufis refer the idea of ihsaan to their shaykhs and tell their
followers to have a picture of their shaykh in mind when they
remember Allaah and even when they are praying. Some of them
even put a picture of their shaykh in front of them when they are
praying. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: �Ihsaan is when you worship Allaah as if you can see Him, and
although you cannot see Him, He can see you.� (Reported by
Muslim).
The Sufis allow dancing, drums and musical instruments, and raising
the voice when making dhikr, but Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
�The believers are only those who, when Allaah is mentioned, feel a
fear in their hearts�� [al-Anfaal 8:2]
Moreover, you see some of them making dhikr by only pronouncing
the Name of Allaah, saying, �Allaah, Allaah, Allaah.� This is bid�ah
and has no meaning in Islam. They even go to the extreme of saying,
�Ah, ah� or �Hu, Hu.� The Sunnah is for the Muslim to remember his
Lord in words that have a true meaning for which he will be
rewarded, such as saying Subhaan Allaah wa Alhamdulillah wa Laa
ilaaha illa Allaah wa Allaahu akbar, and so on.
The Sufis recite love poems mentioning the names of women and
boys in their dhikr gatherings, and they repeat words such as �love�,
�passion�, �desire� and so on, as if they are in a gathering where
people dance and drink wine and clap and shout. All of this has to do
with the customs and acts of worship of the mushrikeen. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
�Their salaah (prayer) at the House (of Allaah, i.e., the Ka�bah at
Makkah) was nothing but whistling and clapping of hands��
[al-Anfaal 8:35]
Some Sufis pierce themselves with rods of iron, saying, �O my
grandfather!� So the shayaateen come to them and help them,
because they are seeking the help of someone other than Allaah .
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
�And whosoever turns away (blinds himself) from the remembrance
of the Most Beneficent (Allaah), We appoint for him a shaytaan
(devil) to be a qareen (intimate companion) for him.�
[al-Zukhruf 43:36]
The Sufis claim to have gnosis and knowledge of the unseen, but the
Qur�aan shows them to be liars. Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
�Say: �None in the heavens and the earth knows the ghayb (unseen)
except Allaah��� [al-Naml 27:65]
The Sufis claim that Allaah created the world for the sake of
Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), but the
Qur�aan shows them to be liars. Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
�And I (Allaah) created not the jinns and humans except they should
worship Me (Alone).� [al-Dhaariyaat 51:56]
Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, addressed His Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) with the words
(interpretation of the meaning):
�And worship your Lord until there comes unto the certainty (i.e.,
death).� [al-Hijr 15:99]
The Sufis claim that they can see Allaah in this life, but the Qur�aan
shows them to be liars. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
�[Moosa said:] �O my Lord! Show me (Yourself), that I may look
upon You.� Allaah said, �You cannot see Me��� [al-A�raaf 7:143]
The Sufis claim that they take knowledge directly from Allaah,
without the mediation of the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) and in a conscious state (as opposed to dreams).
So are they better than the Sahaabah??
The Sufis claim that they take knowledge directly from Allaah,
without the mediation of the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him). They say, �Haddathani qalbi �an Rabbi (My
heart told me from my Lord).�
The Sufis celebrate Mawlid and hold gatherings for sending blessings
on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), but
they go against his teachings by raising their voices in dhikr and
anaasheed (religious songs) and qaseedahs (poems) that contain
blatant shirk. Did the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) celebrate his birthday? Did Abu Bakr, �Umar, �Uthman,
�Ali, the four imaams or anyone else celebrate his birthday? Who
knows more and is more correct in worship, the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the Salaf, or the Sufis?
The Sufis travel to visit graves and seek blessings from their
occupants or to make tawaaf (ritual circumambulation) around them
or to make sacrifices at these sites, all of which goes against the
teachings of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him): �Do not travel to visit any place but three mosques: al-Masjid
al-Haraam [in Makkah], this mosque of mine [in Madeenah] and
al-Masjid al-Aqsa [in Jerusalem].� (Agreed upon).
The Sufis are blindly loyal to their shaykhs, even when what they go
against the words of Allaah and His Messenger. But Allaah, may He
be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
�O you who believe! Do not put (yourselves) forward before Allaah
and His Messenger�� [al-Hujuraat 49:1]
The Sufis use talismans, letters and numbers for making decisions and
for making amulets and charms and so on.
The Sufis do not restrict themselves to the specific blessings on the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that were
narrated from him. They invented new formulas that involve seeking
his blessings and other kinds of blatant shirk which are unacceptable
to the one on whom they are sending blessings.
With regard to the question of the whether the Sufi shaykhs have
some kind of contact, this is true, but their contact is with the
shayaateen, not with Allaah, so they inspire one another with adorned
speech as a delusion (or by way of deception), as Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
�And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies � shayaateen
(devils) among mankind and jinns, inspiring one another with
adorned speech as a delusion (or by way of deception). If your Lord
had so willed, they would not have done it�� [al-An�aam 6:112]
And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
�� And, certainly, the shayaateen (devils) do inspire their friends
(from mankind)�� [al-An�aam 6:121]
�Shall I inform you (O people!) upon whom the shayaateen (devils)
descend?
They descend on every lying, sinful person.� [al-Shu�ara 221-222]
This is the contact that is real, not the contact that they falsely claim
to have with Allaah. Exalted be Allaah far above that. (See Mu�jam
al-Bida�, 346 �359).
When some of these Sufi shaykhs disappear suddenly from the sight
of their followers, this is the result of their contact with the
shayaateen, who may even carry them to a distant place and bring
them back in the same day or night, to mislead their human followers.
So the important rule here is not to judge people by the extraordinary
feats that they may do. We should judge them by how closely or
otherwise they adhere to the Qur�aan and Sunnah. The true friends of
Allaah (awliya�) are not necessarily known for performing astounding
feats. On the contrary, they are the ones who worship Allaah in the
manner that He has prescribed, and not by doing acts of bid�ah. The
true awliya� or friends of Allaah are those whom our Lord has
described in the hadeeth qudsi narrated by al-Bukhaari in his Saheeh
(5/2384) from Abu Hurayrah, who said:
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: �Allaah said, �Whoever shows enmity towards a friend
(wali) of Mine, I declare war against him. My slave does not draw
close to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties
that I have enjoined on him, and My slave continues to draw close to
Me with supererogatory (naafil) acts, so that I will love him. When I
love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which
he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he
walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to
him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it.��
And Allaah is the Source of Strength and the Guide to the Straight
Path.
