The soofees and Baitullaah

Sunday, November 20, 2011


The Islamic believe said that Allah is above the heavens.
Allah (Subhanna wa ta'ala) said in the Quran:

"Do you feel secure, that He (Allah), who is above the heavens, will not cause the earth to sink with you." (67-16)
And in a long hadeeth found in Saheeh Muslim, it is narrated that the companion,  Mu`awiyah ibn al-Hakam (Radia Allahu anhu) slapped his servant girl who used to tend his sheep, and as a result went to the Prophet (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) and asked what should be done as an atonement for having slapper her. The Prophet (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) replied: "Bring her to me" so  Mu`awiyah brought her to the Prophet (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam). The Prophet (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) then asked her:" Where is Allah?" and she replied: above the sky then the Prophet (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) asked her: Who am I? and she replied: You are Allah's Messenger, so the Prophet (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Free her, for verily she is a true believer ( Saheeh Muslim, Vol 1, Hadith #1094).

The Naqshbandi ( soofee group) believe said: Allah is everywhere.
On page 13 of the book Haqiqat ul Haqqani it reads, "Allaah Almighty is everywhere but specially in the Baitullaah as He has Himself called it the house of Allaah. For it to be called the house of the Lord, the Lord of the house must be in it."
The concept of Allah , being everywhere is not Islamic as the above Quranic Ayah and the authentic hadeeth confirm. Indeed if Allah was everywhere then  there would be no need for the Prophet (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) to go up through the seven skies on the night of Mi`raaj to meet Allaah , he would hae been in the direct presence of Allah in his very own house."
