THE NAQSHABANDIYA UNVEILED Verily all Praise is for Allaah, We praise Him, seek His aid and ask for His forgiveness.We seek refuge in Allaah from the evil of ourselves and the evil of our actions.Whomsoever Allaah 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 wasallam) is His slave and Messenger. May the peace and blessings of Allaah be on the final Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaaahu alaihi wasallam) his family, his companions and all those who follow in their footsteps until the last day. To proceed: This little booklet is a modest attempt to analyse and expose the teachings and practices of the Tariqat ul Naqshabandi 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 common and dangerous of the contemporary movements is the group known as the Naqshabandi Tariqat. Like all 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 an hidden inner meaning known only to the Sheikh, and that the masses are unable to contact Allaah on their own and hence are in need of a Intermidiary (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 true 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 ( Subhaanahuwata’ala ) We hope that the fables, 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 groups deviant belief’s is to quote what Allaah (Subhaanahuwataala) Says in the Qur’aan and what his truthful Messenger Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) has said in the authentic Ahadith and then to quote the groups beliefs or position vis-a-vis the same issue, taken from their own publications printed by Arafat Publishing House and where neccessary commented upon. In all fairness 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 Hadith too have been provided. Those sincerely interested in finding out the truth may refer to these books and the Qur’aan and Hadith and verify for themselves its authenticity. Due to lack of space we are compelled to deal with only the very serious issues of the groups beliefs and teachings which are directly in conflict with the pure Islaamic teachings as revealed in the Glorious Qur’aan and the authentic Sunnah. This booklet is by no means a complete exposition of the entirety of this group’s deviant beliefs and teachings, which is beyond the scope of this article, all Qur’aanic Aayaat quoted are translations of the meaning of the Qur’aan only, we pray that this little booklet serves to remove the confusion and ignorance that the people are suffering from regarding this important issue and that it will save the sincere seekers of the truth from falling in to Shirk. 1) The Islaamic Belief : Allaah is the Only Truth Allaah (subhaanahuwataala) says in the Qur’aan - That is because Allaah - He is the Truth and it is He who gives life to the dead (Qur’aan, Chapter 22, Verse 6) The Naqshabandi Belief : Aba Yazid Al Bistami is the Truth On page 15 of the Book The Naqshabandi Way it reads - Whoever recites Bismillaah and the verses Amanar-Rasul untill the end, 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 Allaahs 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 (Subhaanahuwataala) says in the Qur’aan - Verily, His (Allaahs) Command, When He Intends a Thing, is only that he says to it, Be ! And it is! - (Qur’aan, Chapter 36, Verse 82). Also 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 - (Qur’aan, Chapter 18, Verse 26) The Naqshabandi 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 clear 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 Gods 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 Islaamic Belief : None Could Attain The Rank of the Prophets or their Companions The Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) 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 Translation) The Naqshabandi Belief : Certain people could attain a Rank higher than the Prophets and their Companions On page 1 of the Book The Naqshabandi Way it reads “ Our master the Sheikh says that a person who manages to act on these Principles (spiritual) 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 same Book it reads, “ Especially those who hold to the Prophets Sunnah, will attain special stations that werent opened to earlier people - Not even to the Prophets Companions.” The deviant claim of attaining the Rank which the Prophets could not is a major deception of the Naqshabandiya 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 Wasallam) 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 Wasallam) 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 )
