Extract 1:
Sheikh Nazim will answer for his followers in the grave
“Another of the miracles of Moulana Sheikh Nazim is the miracle in the grave. When the Angels appear in the followers’ grave to question him, Moulana Sheikh Nazim will immediately be there and say to the Angels “Don’t question my follower, question me instead of him and I will answer on his behalf. “The Angels shall not be able to bear the Light of Moulana Sheikh Nazim and due to this they shall be forced to go away”. (Extract under ‘THE MIRACLE OF MIRACLES’)
Review:
The following Ahadith illustrate the condition of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) and his noble companions on the concept of the grave:
It has been related by Hadhrat Othman (Radhiallaahu Anhu) that after Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) buried the dead, he paused and said: “Beseech forgiveness from Allah for your brother and make Dua for his steadfastness because he is going to be questioned now by the Munkar and Nakeer.” (Abu Dawood – Kitabul Janaiz)
It is stated in a Hadith narrated by Sayedina Haani (Radhiallaahu Anhu) that whenever Hadhrat Othman Ibn Affan (Radhiallaahu Anhu) stood by a grave he would cry until his beard became wet. He was asked; “You remember Paradise and Hell and you do not cry, but you cry when you visit the graves?” He said, “The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “The grave is the first stage of the Hereafter; whoever is saved from it, what comes afterwards will be easier for him, but if he is not saved from it, what comes afterwards will be worse for him. I have never seen any scene than the grave that is more frightening.” (Tirmizi- Vol. 9: Page 82, Ibn Majah- Vol. 12: Page 475)
Does the claim not then contradict the Ahadith? If Sheikh Nazim will be there to answer and be accountable for his followers in the grave and in front of Allah, then what need is there for them in carrying out good and refraining from evil?
They further say:
Extract 2:
Sheikh Nazim will answer for his followers on the day of judgement
“When a person takes Bayyat from Moulana the Spiritual Power of Moulana Sheikh Nazim is always with that person immaterial of how far away in distance he is from the physical presence of Moulana. Moulana will be with him through every moment until that person reaches the grave. Until the Day of Judgement, Moulana will be with that person. Even until he reaches in front of Allah Almighty will Moulana be with him. When Allah Almighty questions this person, Moulana shall answer all these questions instead of him. In this time it is not possible to find this kind of Auliya who are the like of Moulana Sheikh Nazim”. (Extract under ‘THE QUALITY OF AULIYA’)
Review:
In the Quran at five different places (Surah 6 verse 164- Surah 17 verse 15- Surah 35 verse 18- Surah 39 verse 7- Surah 53 verse 38- Surah 12 verse 47) Allah the Almighty says“And no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another”. In the hereafter each person shall bear the burden of his/her own actions. Each person will be questioned of all deeds done in the world.
This is also mentioned in many Ahadith of Mohammed (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam). Adi bin Hatim (Radhiallaahu Anhu) reported that Allah’s Messenger (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “There is none of you but his Lord will certainly talk with him without any Spokesman between him and his Lord.” (Sunan Ibn Maajah- Vol. 1: Hadith: 185, Arabic – Eng Trans) but (as quoted in the extract) Sheikh Nazim and his followers believe otherwise.
Extract 3:
Sheikh Nazim – Sultan-ul-Auliya (King of Saints)
“Moulana Sheikh Nazim is the Sultan ul Auliya of this age”.
(Extract under ‘THE CONCEPT OF SULTAN UL AWLIYA’)
Extract 4:
The status of Sultan-ul-Auliya (King of Saints) according to them
“The Sultan ul Auliya is the Khaliphatullah of the time and he represents the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) while the other Saints represent one of the other 124,000 prophets. As all the other Prophets are also represented by the Seal of Prophets Seyyidina Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Sultan ul Auliya of the time also has the Tajjalli and the power of all the 124,000 Prophets. The representative of Allah Almighty during one particular age is only one and in this time and age Moulana Sheikh Nazim is this representative, and he is the Sultan ul Auliya and Khaliphatullah of this time.
As the Khaliphatullah or the representative of Allah Almighty in our time, it is Moulana Sheikh Nazim who is inside the ka’abatullah. The ka’abatullah is also known as the Baithullah or the House of Allah. Allah Almighty is everywhere but especially in the Baithullah as He has Himself called it the House of Allah. For it to be called the House of the Lord, the Lord of the house must be in it. The Lord of the house is represented by His Khalifa who in this time is Moulana Sheikh Nazim”.
(Extracts under ‘THE CONCEPT OF SULTAN UL AWLIYA’)
Review:
This clearly mentions that Sheikh Nazim lives in the Kabah alongside Allah Almighty; which implies that the Sheikh is omnipresent (haazir) as he is obviously not physically inside the Kabah! Note: Being omnipresent (haazir) is an attribute of Allah alone.
Where is the evidence to support such a claim?
It does not stop here; further in the article the following claim has been made:
Extract 5:
Sheikh Nazim is in control of mankind
“Everything that you know of is under the Spiritual Control of the Sultan ul Auliya. He is the one who is in charge of all Mankind in this Universe. He is also in charge of all the world of Jinns and Angels, as the Sultan of Mankind is also in charge of all the Jinn and of all Malaika (Angels). This Maqam (station) of Sultan ul Auliya is a Maqam related to the hearts. Not even a thought can be comprehended of the Greatness of this Maqam. This Maqam in this time is related to Moulana Sheikh Nazim”. (Extract under ‘THE RANK OF SULTAN UL AWLIYA’)
Review:
Allah states in the Holy Quran: “To Allah belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. To Allah all matters are returned”. (Surah Al-Imran: Verse 109)
Imaam Ibn Kathir writes under the explanation of the verse “To Allah all matters are returned” ‘For Him (Allah) is the decision concerning the affairs of this life and the Hereafter, and His is the Supreme Authority in this life and the Hereafter’ (Ibn Kathir).
How is it then possible for some ‘Sultan ul Auliya’ to be in charge of ‘all Mankind, Angels and Jinns’? Furthermore, if he enjoys all these powers, then where does this leave Allah the Almighty? (Na’oozubillah)
Extract 6:
Asking help from other than Allah
“If at any time a mureed calls for him saying “Madad Ya Seyyidi” Moulana immediately sends a divine look to his heart and then the heart of this mureed is lit up with a Divine Light. This Light is sent by Moulana from his heart to the heart of this mureed. This mureed shall then be in a good situation and the bad thing that was to have happened to him would have been taken away from him”. (Extract under ‘THE MIRACLE OF MIRACLES’)
Review:
In each Salah, every day we recite “You alone do we worship, and from You alone do we seek help” (Surah Fatiha: verse 4).
In a lengthy narration, Mohammed (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) advised Hadhrat Ibn Abbas (Radhiallaahu Anhu) “When you require anything ask from Allah”. (Tirmizi- Page 56: Vol. 9)
A’isha (Radhiallaahu Anha) said: “Ask Allah for everything, even if it is only a shoe-lace, because if Allah does not make it easy, then it will not be possible.” (Tirmizi- Page 292: Vol. 4)
The companions of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) were ordered to ask from Allah. These people are seeking assistance from other than Allah! This is the result of the teachings of Sheikh Nazim; I ask whoever holds such a belief does he/she remain a Muslim?
Extract 7:
Sheikh Nazim will even protect his followers from an atom bomb
“Moulana Sheikh Nazim (qas) has said that anyone who has made Bayyat with him and who is his mureed or follower and believes in him would be under his vision. They would always be kept safe in this world. Even if an atom bomb was to explode near him he would be protected and kept safe. A wind would be sent from paradise to this person so that he would be able to breathe the air from it and not from the nuclear waste in the atmosphere”. (Extract under ‘THE CONQUEROR OF THE HEARTS’)
Review: This mentions that the follower of Sheikh Nazim remains ‘under his vision’. This implies that the Sheikh possesses the quality of ‘Witnessing’ (naazir); which is an attribute of Allah alone.
It then goes on to mention, they (the followers) “would always be kept safe in this world”.
It is Allah who afflicts and safeguards humans from harm. As is evident from the verse of the Quran:
“If Allah brings some harm to you, there is none to remove it except He. And if He intends to bring some good to you, there is none to turn His grace back. He brings it to whomever He wills from among His servants. He is the Most-Forgiving, the Very Merciful”. (Surah Yunus: Verse 107)
There is absolutely no evidence of such from Quran and Ahadith to support such claims. Let alone pious men or saints, such power was not even granted to any Prophet!
Extract 8:
Sheikh Nazim’s Special Powers
“Still another miracle is that when on the Day of Judgement Allah Almighty asks as to what a person (a person who had taken Bayyat from Moulana Sheikh Nazim, believed in him and visited him) did during his lifetime, Moulana Sheikh Nazim shall act as this person’s lawyer and defender”. (Extract under ‘THE MIRACLE OF MIRACLES’)
Review:
Allah is the one who sees and controls everything. Nothing can hide from Allah and He shall question each person on the day of judgement without any lawyers and defenders.
Allah (Subhaanahuwata’ala) says in the Quran, “And warn them of the Day of approaching horror, when hearts will jump up into the throats, (and they will be) choked. There will be neither a friend for the unjust, nor an intercessor to be listened to”. (Surah Ghafir: Verse 18)
How could this be possible? If Sheikh Nazim holds such a rank and all these powers, then why did Mohammed (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) not inform us of this ‘extraordinary’ man as he did for all other major events to occur in the life hearafter? There are many narrations on the subject of intersession yet nothing as such is present in support of this!
Extract 9:
Sheikh Nazim’s Special Power of bringing people into the fold of Islam and delivering them to highest status of a believer
“In one moment Moulana is able not only to make an unbeliever to believe but also to be able to make him attain the rank of Siddique (the rank of Siddique is the highest rank of Sainthood), and to make him to always be a Light of Allah Almighty to sit in front of Allah Almighty and to make him see and talk with the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and to comprehend the Holy Prophet’s Spiritual Rank. Moulana Sheikh Nazim has the power to make the unbeliever be like him in rank and position”. (Extract under‘THE RANK OF SULTAN UL AWLIYA’)
Review:
Mohammed (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) preached to his Uncle Abu Talib many times so he would accept Islam. Abu Talib had the fortune to sit in the blessed company of the Prophet of Allah, yet he did not accept Islam. After his uncles demise, Mohammed (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) was saddened upon the fact that his uncle passed away without accepting the true faith; upon which Allah revealed the verse “You cannot give guidance to whoever you wish, but Allah gives guidance to whoever He wills, and He best knows the ones who are on the right path” (Surah Qasas: Verse 56).
But this Sheikh has the ‘free will’ of not only bringing people into the fold of Islam but delivering them to highest status of a believer.
Extract 10:
Sheikh Nazim’s followers are guaranteed sainthood; with preference for westerners.
“Anybody who takes Bayyat from Moulana Sheikh Nazim, specially those from the Western countries, will not leave this world except as Walis. Regarding this Moulana says “I have been ordered by Allah Almighty and by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to gather all the Lights that are now coming from Western and European countries and to return them to their origin. Any European or Westerner or anyone else making Bayyat will not leave this Dunya, except as an Auliya and he shall reach to the highest stations which Allah Almighty offers to His beloved servants.” (Extract under ‘THE DIVINE LIGHT OF ALLAH ALMIGHTY’)
Review:
From the above statements the following is apparent:
a) Followers of this sheikh; specifically those from western countries will die as saints.
b) In one moment Sheikh Nazim can transform a non believer into a believer.
In other words he is able to do that which the Prophet of Allah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) was unable to do (as mentioned in the ayah quoted in the previous review).
The Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) states in an authentic Hadith:
“O People of Quraysh, Secure deliverance from Allah (by doing good deeds) I CAN NOT HELP YOU AT ALL against Allah. O sons of Abdul-Muttalib, I CAN NOT HELP YOU AT ALL against Allah; O (my uncle) Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib, O (my Aunt) Safeeyah, I CAN NOT HELP YOU AT ALL against Allah; O Fatimah, daughter of Muhammad, ask me whatever you like, but I HAVE NOTHING which can help you against Allah.” (Saheeh Muslim- Vol. 1: Hadith: 402, English Trans).
Mohammed (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) holds the greatest rank after Allah, not even did he make or enjoy the benefit of such claims. How is it then possible for Sheikh Nazim being an ummati (follower) of the Prophet to possess such will and choice?
May Allah save us from the mischief of Sheikh Nazim and his followers’. (Ameen)
Extract 11:
Sheikh Nazim’s will Not allow any of his followers to enter hell
“Moulana will not allow any of his mureeds to enter hell. He will not even let them to enter the Paradise that are known to the people. No , Moulana Sheikh Nazim will make them enter the Paradise that is related to Allah Almighty. The ordinary Paradises vanish into nothing when compared with the lights of this Paradise which is the Paradise that is related to Allah Almighty. Moulana Sheikh Nazim shall make all his followers to enter into this Paradise”. (Extract under ‘THE MIRACLE OF MIRACLES’)
Review:
Abu Hurayrah (Radhiallaahu Anhu) reported: When this verse was revealed: “And warn thy nearest kindred” (Surah Shu’ara: Verse 214) the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) called the Quraish; so they gathered and he gave them a general warning. Then he made a particular (reference to certain tribes) and said: “O sons of Quraish, rescue yourselves from the Fire; O sons of Abd-e-Manaf, rescue yourselves from the Fire: O sons of Bani Qusay, rescue yourselves from the Fire; 0 sons of Abdul Muttalib, rescue yourselves from the Fire; O Fatimah, rescue thyself from the Fire, for I have no power (to protect you) from Allah in anything except this that I would sustain relationship with you”. (Tirmizi –Vol. 10; Page 467)
As is apparent from this Hadith, the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) addressing his own clan and beloved daughter; is making clear that he cannot help them from Allah and from the fire. How is it possible for Sheikh Nazim to save his followers from the fire?
For Sheikh Nazim and his followers is a ‘Special Paradise’, but throughout the Quran Allah only speaks of ONE paradise, he says:
“(Here is) a description of the Paradise that is promised for the God-fearing! In it there are rivers of water, never spoiling, and rivers of milk the taste of which would not go bad, and rivers of wine, delicious to the drinkers, and rivers of honey, fully purified. And for them there are all sorts of fruits, and forgiveness from their Lord. Are they like those who will live in Fire forever, and will be given boiling water to drink, and it will tear their bowels into pieces?” (Surah Mohammed: Verse 15)
Extract 12:
Sheikh Nazim takes the souls of his followers
“As for anyone who is related to Moulana Sheikh Nazim as a mureed the Angel of Death, Israel (alai) will have nothing to do with him. The soul of this mureed at the time of his death will be taken by Moulana Sheikh Nazim. He shall look at the mureed and immediately the soul of that mureed will leave his body. There is nothing for either the Angel of Death or for the Angels of the Grave to do with the mureeds of Moulana Sheikh Nazim. This is because it has been so ordered and it is by the Divine Power of Allah Almighty which has been given to him that Moulana Sheikh Nazim is so empowered. This is specially for Moulana Sheikh Nazim”. (Extract under ‘NO QUESTIONING IN THE GRAVE’)
Review:
What makes Sheikh Nazim’s followers so special that only he has access to their souls?
Allah (Subhaanahuwata’ala) states in the Qur’an “Say the Angel of Death, who is set over you, will take your souls, then you shall be brought to your Lord”. (Surah As-Sajdah: Verse 11)
This claim, yet again contradicts the clear verse of the Quran. Allah says an Angel (of Death) is appointed over you (to extract the soul) and they are saying the soul of his followers will be taken by Moulana Sheikh Nazim!
Extract 13:
Sheikh Nazim wipes away the sins of his followers through his lectures
“Moulana Sheikh Nazim also speaks about bad deeds when he addresses people in his lectures. The one who listens to this lecture shall not be asked of any bad deed or sin that Moulana happens to mention in the course of this lecture. He does not mention these bad deeds to stop the mureeds from doing them, but in order to take away his bad deeds or sins. He then puts his mureed in his Mercy Oceans then he throws them into the Mercy Oceans of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and finally into the Mercy Oceans of Allah Almighty.
All the bad deeds and sins concerning which Moulana speaks during the course of his lectures to the mureed will not be asked about from the mureed on the Day of Judgement. This is because Moulana Sheikh Nazim immediately makes a Shafa’ah and asks forgiveness from Allah Almighty regarding the sins and bad deeds that he has mentioned in his lecture. It is for this reason that you see Moulana Sheikh Nazim referring to so many sins and bad deeds during the course of a lecture so that he would be able to put his mureeds into his Mercy Oceans”. (Extracts under ‘GRANTS GIVEN TO MOULANA SHEIKH NAZIM’)
Review:
I ask how this is possible. What is the evidence to support this claim from the Quran and Ahadith?
It is the belief of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah that besides the Prophets of Allah, all humans commit sin and we are accountable unless we sincerely repent and Allah through his mercy accepts our repentance.
The Prophet (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) stated, “All the children of Adam (AlayhiSalaam) are wrongdoers; and the best of the wrongdoers are those who repent”. (Tirmizi, Ibn Majah)
Extract 14:
124,000 Adams have passed before Hazrat Adam (A.S.)
“There have been 124,000 Adams in all, with their sons of which our Adam (alai) was the last. This was one of the sons of the Adam before our Adam and he had come to kiss Moulana’s hand and to perform Tawaf with Moulana because he had had this promise on the Day of promises and that it was written in the Divine Tablet.Moulana as the Khaliphatullah of this time and as the representative of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) during this time is not only for us but also for all the Adams and their sons who came before us. He is the communicator who connects them with the world of Allah Almighty and the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him”. (Extract under‘ENDLESS HORIZONS’)
Review:
It is clearly stated in the Quran and Ahadith that Hazrat Adam (AlayhiSalaam) was the first human created by Allah.
Allah says, “(Remember) when your Lord said to the angels: I am going to create a deputy on the earth! They said, Will You create there one who will spread disorder on the earth and cause bloodshed, while we proclaim Your purity, along with your praise, and sanctify Your name? He said, Certainly, I know what you know not”. (Surah Al Baqrah: Verse 30)
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
These statements are not from Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani nor from any of his publications and he has nothing to do with them whatsoever. We advise you and ourselves at this time to focus on the Qur’an and fasting as only ten days are left in this month of Ramadan and they will never come back.
Shaykh Gibril Haddad
