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 Quraan -
"That is because Allaah - He is the Truth and it is He who gives life to
dead." (Quraan, 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
