The Naqshbandi Tariqat
Unveiled
Verily all Praise is for Allaah, we praise Him, seek His aid and ask for His
forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of
ourselves and the evil of our actions. Whomsoever Allah guides then there is
none who can misguide him, and whomsoever Allaah
misguides then there is none who can guide him. I bear witness that none has
the right to be worshipped except Allaah alone, having
no partners and I bear witness that Muhammad (sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam)
is His slave and Messenger. May the peace and blessings
of Allaah be on the final Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam),
his family, his companions and all those who follow in
their footsteps until the last day. To proceed:
This article is a modest attempt to analyse and expose the teachings and
practices of the Tariqat ul Naqshbandi in the light of the
Glorious Qur'aan and Sunnah, and is done purely in fulfilling our obligation
to enjoin the right and forbid the evil. Over the years
many deviant movements have arisen in the Muslim world bent on corrupting
the
teachings of Islaam and thereby mislead the
Muslims. One of the most dangerous of the contemporary movements is the
group
known as the Naqshbandi Tariqat.
Like most deviant groups, they claim that the Muslim masses are ignorant and
are therefore in need of a Sheikh (leader) who is
supposed to possess the secret knowledge of the unseen. They also claim that
all religious texts have an obvious outer meaning known
to the masses and a hidden meaning known only to the Sheikh, and that the
masses are unable to contact Allaah on their own and
hence are in need of an intermediary (Sheikh) who will get them close to
Allaah if given unquestionable and unconditional obedience.
The greatest danger of this group lies in the fact that they, while wearing
the cloak of Islaam, are striving to destroy it from within, in
a vain attempt to extinguish the light of Islaam and divert the Muslims from
the reality of the religion.
Realizing the grave threat posed by this group, we have undertaken the task
of
exposing the falsity of this group, seeking only the
pleasure of Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta`aalaa), we hope that the absurdities,
fallacies, and the extremely deviant nature of this group
would be clearly exposed to those trapped in its clutches and as a timely
warning to those contemplating to join them.
The simple method we have adopted in exposing the group's deviant beliefs is
to quote what Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta`aalaa) says in
the Qur'aan and what His truthful Messenger Muhammad (sallallaahu `alaihi wa
sallam) has said in the authentic Ahadith, and then to
quote the group's beliefs or position vis-a-vis the same issue, taken from
their own publications printed by 'Arafat Publishing House',
and where necessary commented upon.
In all firmness to this group we have given the names of the books, along
with
the page number from where we have taken these
quotes. Reference to the Qur'aanic Aayaat and authentic Ahadith too have
been
provided.
Due to lack of space we are compelled to deal with only some of the serious
issues of the group's beliefs and teachings which are
directly in conflict with the pure Islaamic teachings as revealed in the
Glorious Qur'aan and authentic Sunnah.
This article is by no means a complete exposition of the entirety of this
group's deviant beliefs and teachings and all Qur'aanic Aayaat
quoted are only translations of the meanings of the Qur'aan.
We pray that this article serves to remove the confusion and ignorance that
the people are suffering from regarding this important
issue and that it will save all those sincere seekers of truth from falling
in
to Shirk.
1. THE ISLAAMIC BELIEF: Allaah is the Only Truth
Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta`aalaa) says in the Qur'aan -
"That is because Allaah - He is the Truth and it is He who gives life to
dead." (Qur'aan, Chapter 22, Verse 6)
THE NAQSHBANDI BELIEF: Aba Yazid al-Bistami is the Truth
On page 15 of the book 'The Naqshbandi Way' it reads -
"Whoever recites this Ayah even a single time will attain a high rank and a
great position, . he will get what the Prophets and saints
could not get, and will arrive at the stage of Aba Yazid al-Bistami, the
Imam
of the order who said: "I am the Truth (al-Haqq)."
The above statement 'I am the Truth' - is a clear example of Shirk
(association) in the aspect of the Names and Attributes of Allaah,
since Al-Haqq in the definite form, is one of Allaah's unique attributes and
is not shared by any created being or thing unless preceded
by the prefix `Abd meaning "Slave of" or "Servant of". (In fact the Mystic
al-Hallaaj was publicly executed as an apostate for daring to
openly claim divinity in his infamous pronouncement "Anal-Haqq"- I am the
Truth.)
2. THE ISLAAMIC BELIEF: None shares with the command of Allaah
Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta`aalaa) says in the Qur'aan -
"Verily, His (Allaah's) command, when He intends a thing, is only that he
says
to it, "Be! And it is!" - (Chapter 36, Verse 82); and
in another place in the Qur'aan, Allaah says =
"They have no protector other than Him (Allaah); nor does He share His
command
with any person whatsoever." - (18:26)
THE NAQSHBANDI BELIEF: Sheikh shares with the command of Allaah
On page 33 of the book 'Mercy Oceans - Part 1', it reads "The Power of the
wali is such that he only needs to say Kun (be) and that
will be."
The above is another example of Shirk (association) in the aspect of the
Lordship of Allaah, since the Islaamic principle of the
Lordship of Allaah states that no created being can share in God's
attributes
and infinite qualities, and any attempt to give the Divine
attributes to creation is referred to as Shirk (association), the antithesis
of Tawheed (singling out Allaah alone for worship).
3. THE ISLAMIC BELIEF: None could attain the Rank of the Prophets or their
Companions
The Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam) has said in a well
known
Hadith that,
"The best of people are those living in my generation, and then those who
will
follow them, and then those who will follow
the latter."
(Saheeh Bukhaaree, Vol 5, Hadith #3, Arabic-English Trans.)
THE NAQSHBANDI BELIEF: Certain people could attain a Rank higher than the
Prophets and their Companions.
On page 1 of the book 'The Naqshbandi Way' it reads,
"Our master the Sheikh says that a person who manages to act on these
principles in our times will achieve what earlier generations
did not achieve . he who attains an exalted stage and a great rank, such a
rank which the Prophets themselves and the companions
were unable to attain."
On page 4 of the book 'the Naqshbandi Way' it reads,
"Especially those who hold to the Prophet's Sunnah, will attain special
stations that weren't opened to earlier people - not even to the
Prophet's companions.'
The deviant claim of attaining the rank which the Prophets could not is a
major deception of the Naqshbandiya as any Muslim with
even the basic knowledge of Islaam will confirm. As regards the companions
(May Allaah be pleased with them all), the Prophet
(sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam) in a hadith narrated by Anas bin Maalik
(Radhiallaahu Anhu) said -
"After me, you will see others given preference to you, so be patient till
you
meet me."
(Saheeh Bukhaaree, Vol 5., Hadith #137, Arabic-English Trans.)
He (sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam) also said in reference to his Companions
(May Allaah be pleased with them all),
"For by Him in Whose hand is my soul, if you were to spend the like of 'Uhud
or of the mountains in gold, you would not
reach their actions." (Saheeh Bukhaaree)
