his death however, the guidance and accurate information that
was being received about the religion came to an end. True
dreams and ilaam continue to be a means of glad tiding,
assistance and hope. But they are not accurate and independent
sources of information like the revelation received by the
Messengers. The religion of Allah is complete and perfect, and
Allah does not reveal religious injunctions or poetry either
through dreams or ilhaam.
The mystery that surrounds the issue of dreams and Ilham is
misused to the utmost by the Deobandis, who use them as a basis
for claiming Allah’s approval for their school of thought, their
incorrect beliefs and their innovative practices. By means of
‘Bestowed Knowledge’, ‘Tawajjuh’, ‘Tasawwur-e-Shaikh’ and
‘Kashf’, the Deobandis claim access to knowledge that is not
available through normal means. They use this claim to prove the
superiority and greater wisdom of their Sufi Shaikhs and
Majzoobs. This knowledge also becomes the justification for
actions that are openly at odds with the Sharee’ah.
Nothing that the Deobandis can bring from the Karamat of the
Sahabah or anything else can help them justify their gross
exaggerations in praising their Shaikhs. They bring the example
and said, “The Prophet never used to tell me anything privately
which he hid from the people, but he did tell me four things?” So
the man inquired, “So what are they, O Chief of Believers?” He
replied, “He (the Prophet) said, “May Allah’s curse be upon the
one who curses his father; May Allah’s curse be upon the one
who sacrifices for other than Allah; May Allah’s curse be upon
one who accommodates an innovator; and May Allah’s curse be
upon the one who tampers with boundary posts of the land.”
[Saheeh Muslim (Eng. Trans.) vol.3, p.1093, no.4876]
The Prophet’s wife, Aa’ishah (radhi allahu anha) said: “.... whoever
tells you that he concealed (some of Allah’s orders), is a liar.”
Then she recited: “O Messenger ! Proclaim (the Message)
which has been sent down to you from your Lord...” [Soorah al-
Maidah (5): 67 – See Saheeh al-Bukharee (Eng. Trans.) vol. 6,
no.378.]
