BROTHER NAZIR ASSALAM ALIKUM, A few years ago a Christian sister wanted to revert to Islam
and she gave the reason for reversion that she was fascinated by mystic Sufism.
Since I was a student of Salaf i was reluctant to help her in this regard and
humbly but state forwardly wrote to her that Sufism is considered as a
deviated sect of Islam and she should think about sunnathul
jamah to which she stopped corresponding then
onwards. If we look in the past, history shows that mysticism is
a part of religion
as well, people have time and time experienced these phenomena to which salafis have limitations. There's a hadith of Bukhari
in which Prophet Muhammad صلی اللہ
علیہ وآلہ
وسلم says that out of 46 parts of prophecy only “mubashirat” will be left till the Day of Judgment. Mubashirat in the form of good dreams or basharat: Dreams that make you happy, dreams that makes you fear Allah, dreams that guide you, dreams that
give you foreknowledge of what’s going to happen. In summary dreams that benefit
the dreamer cannot be from Satan. I feel Satan is weak and timid,
otherwise Allah would not have commanded them to bow down to Adam and told
that Adam and his progeny will be ashraful makhlukhath (the best creatures)! He is invisible and
makes us fear him instead Allah. Bandagi/ibadah comes out of fear. That’s why Allah says in surah fathir 28 ayath. Only those who
have knowledge fear Allah! Once we were sitting in a park in Niagara falls waiting
for my kids to return from a boat ride. Some people were walking their dogs
and I am scared of dogs. Something from behind touched me
and I let out a huge scream, to my sarcasm it turned out to be a small toddler
who got me mistaken for her mom! Whenever I have to teach my kids about Satan this
analogy comes to my mind: That Satan is weak but plays with fear and that’s
why we on that day will say is this the one we were listening to. Allah communicates to you through dreams and wahi also, not the wahi of
prophecy but when we ask Him He answers. like when
my mom died I prayed to Allah that the grave is such a nasty place of burial,
unclean and people have to stay in that till qayamah!
and something struck to me at that movement. Allah
speaks in silence and that silence has a spiritual language! no we have provided a better place than you. when you people take care of travellers and to travel from
one place to another and you could build good comfortable transit stays at
airports then I am Allah I have provided much better for the transit souls
with clean comfortable place! this analogy struck my
mind. Quran is full of such analogies. My point is worshippers always experience such mysticism
we shouldn't be skeptical about it and shun it out of fear of satanic. Brother Nazir most of your work is in Urdu and if they
are in English will be more beneficial to the readers. secondly i am not from any school of thought just a seeker of right knowledge, salafism appeals me because of their pure monotheistic
approach! Jazakallah |

Wa alaikum us salam wa Rahmatullah There are many issues to be discussed in your mail. So
let them discuss one by one: 1. Many people in the West are attracted towards Islam
for spirituality i.e. some sort of Kashf (mystic
experience) and related experiences. In the true message of the Quran and Sunnah, there is little content for them as the Da'wah of the Quran and the Sunnah
is purely based on intellect. The Quran invites us to use our intellect
rather than make experiments to view the Absolute Reality through dreams or
daydreams. Such people are usually more satisfied with mystic religions like
Hinduism, Buddhism and even Sufism and find what they were looking for. 2. You've given correct definition of Mubasharat. The Satan has little control over us, as he
can only tempt us to do something wrong. I agree with you on the
interpretation of the Hadith. By all means, we should present our dreams / kashf on the Quran and Sunnah
to verify its truth. One major point about the Hadith is that such dreams are
from Allah. It is not possible that we start dreaming them by ourselves
through exercises and practice. The difference between approach of Sufis and
Salaf is that former perform some spiritual exercises to get this experience
while the later had such dreams from the Almighty without any intentional
exercises. 3. Thanks for your suggestion about writing in English.
The Islamic Studies Course I'm working now will both be in English and Urdu. Now
a day, I'm working hard to improve my English up to the literary standards of
West. Please pray for my success. 4. I also like Salafi’s approach
towards monotheism and refutation of Bid'aat. I
differ with some of them on certain attitudinal issues e.g. zero tolerance
for anything different. In my opinion, everyone has a full right of selecting
the way he/she likes based on his/her own judgment. We are supposed to convey
the message of God according to our own understanding with positive arguments
in a decent way, and that's all. The matter of accepting / rejecting the
right path is something between him/her and Allah. We should neither force
someone to follow our understanding of Islam nor should use witty and satirical
language for others. Rather whatever we understand to be true, we should
present it in a decent and humble way and be respectful for others despite of
our differences. This approach will be useful for Islam. Sternness and
rigidity is counter-productive and contributes nothing except to make our
audience stricter on his/her wrong practice. wassalaam Mubashir |
