Question:
Assalam u alayekum !
Is it permissible for a person who is in Naqshbandi Tariqah to think Syedna Ali superior than Syedna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with them both),yet respecting and having love for both?
Answer:
`Alaykum as-Salam,
It is superior not to think that as it contravenes the majority of the Ummah and the teachings of the Prophet, upon him and them peace.
