More Heretical Beliefs of the Sufis in relation to
Ibaadah
Refraining from Du’aa or Supplication
From Ikhmaalush-Shiyaam, “The Shaan (disposition) of Rasoolullah
was to make Du’aa in every affair despite his Radha and Tasleem.
Being the highest standard… Some Ahl-e-Haal (Awliya in state of
spiritual ecstasy) feel that abstention from Du’aa is proper and
Adaab (respect) because it appears as if one is reminding Allah of
one’s need or if one does not ask, He will not give… Such men (of
high state of spiritual ecstasy) do not present their needs, etc. to
Allah. They adopt silence and Radha since they regard asking to
be a conflict with Adaab for Allah.” 399
This quotation shows,
• Even after knowing the well-known and well-established
Sunnah of Allah’s Messenger , there is room for ifs and
buts!!
• Contrary to the claim, the views of the insane Majzoobs or
the so-called, ‘Awliya in state of spiritual ecstasy’ are
given consideration and preserved in books.
• The insane Majzoobs are more aware of the manners
(Adaab) of calling upon Allah and being pleased with
Allah’s Decree than the Messenger of Allah , whose
practice was to make Du’aa to Allah, as he has been
commanded by his Lord - “And your Lord said: “Invoke
Me and I will respond to your (invocation)’ Verily, those
who scorn My worship, will enter Hell in
humiliation.” 400
He said, “Whoever does not supplicate unto Allah, He will be
angry with him.” 401 This is because abandoning supplication is
leaving an important act of worship and implies showing no need
for Allah’s Help and Mercy. Allah likes that His slaves ask Him
