- "Say, 'we have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us
and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob
and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was
given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between
any of them, and we are Muslims [having submitted] to Him.' So if they
believe in the same way as you believe, then they have been rightly
guided; but if they turn away, they are only in dissension and Allah
will be sufficient for you against them. He is the Hearing, the
Knowing." [Al-Baqarah (2): 136-137]

- "The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his
Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah
and His Angels and His Books and His Messengers, [saying], 'we make no
distinction between any of His Messengers.' And they say, 'we hear and
we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the
[final] destination.' Allah does not charge a soul except [with that
within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it
has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has
earned.'Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or
erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid
upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we
have no ability to bear. Pardon us; forgive us; and have mercy upon us.
You are our Protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving
people.'" [Al-Baqarah (2): 285-286

- "Alif, Lam, Mim. This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a
guidance for those who fear Allah - who believe in the unseen,
establish the prayer and spend out of what We have provided for them.
Who believe in what has been revealed to you and what was revealed
before you, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith]. Those are
upon [right] guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are
successful." [Al-Baqarah (2): 1-5]

- Belief that Muhammad (SAW) is the Seal of the Prophets, that there is
no Prophet after him
- He was sent to the entirety of the two races - the Jinn and mankind.
- Anyone who does not believe in what he came with is not a believer, let
alone being one of the pious, God-fearing Awliya of Allah!
- Whosoever believes in a part of what he came with and disbelieves in
the remainder is also a disbeliever and in no way a believer

- "Indeed, those who disbelieve in Allah and His Messengers and wish
to discriminate between Allah and His Messengers and say, 'we believe
in some and disbelieve in others,' and wish to adopt a way between -
those are the disbelievers, truly. And We have prepared for the
disbelievers a humiliating punishment. But those who believe in Allah
and His Messengers and do not discriminate between any of them - to
those He is going to give their rewards. And ever is Allah Forgiving
and Merciful." [An-Nisa` (4): 150-152

- That he is the intermediary between Allah and His creation with regards
to conveying His command and prohibition, promise and threat and what He
declared to be lawful and prohibited.
- The lawful is what Allah and His Messenger declared to be lawful, the
prohibited is what Allah and His Messenger declared to be prohibited
- The religion comprises only that which Allah and His Messenger (SAW)
legislated.

- Whosoever believes that there is a person from amongst the Awliya who
has a route to Allah, other than through following Muhammad (SAW), is a
disbeliever and from the Awliya of Shaytan.
- As for Allah creating the creation, His providing for them, His
answering their supplications, His guiding their hearts, His helping
them against their enemies, and other such things that promote benefit
and repress harm - then this is for Allah Alone. He does this through
setting up whatsoever causes (asbab) He Wills [that would lead to
acquisition of these benefits] and the mediation of the Messengers has
no role to play in this whatsoever.

- Whoever rejects, disputes or disbelieves in the things the prophet (sa)
ordered, or came with is not a believer and therefore can not be said
to be an awliya of Allah.
- Instead he or she is an awliya of the Shaytaan

|
- The devils descend upon and accompany their allies and through them they
are able to unveil certain [unseen] realities to the people and perform
some miraculous feats of the type performed by magicians.
- Hence these people are nothing more than types of fortune-tellers and
magicians upon whom the devils descend
|

- "Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend? They descend upon
every sinful liar. They pass on what is heard and most of them are
liars." [Ash-Shu'ara (26): 221-223]
- "And whoever is blinded from remembrance of the Most Merciful - We
appoint for him a devil, and he is to him a companion." [Az-Zukhruf
(43): 36]
|
|
13
|
- The remembrance (dhikr) of the Most Merciful is the remembrance He sent
the Messenger (SAW) with, such as the Qur`an. Therefore whosoever does
not believe in the Qur`an, accept its narratives to be true and believe
in the obligation of its commands has turned away from it and as a
result is assigned a devil who accompanies him.

- "And this [Qur`an] is a blessed message which We have sent down.
Then are you with it unacquainted?" [Al-Anbiya (21): 50]
- "And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have
a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection
blind. He will say, 'my Lord, why have You raised me blind while I was
[once] seeing?' [Allah] will say, 'thus did Our signs come to you, and
you forgot them; thus will you this Day be forgotten." [Ta Ha (20):
124-126]

|
- This proves that His remembrance is His verses that He revealed. This is
why if a person were to remember Allah continuously, day and night,
along with fulfilling the pinnacle of
worship of Him and exert himself for this purpose, yet does not
follow His remembrance that He revealed - which is the Qur`an. - such a
person is from the Awliya of Shaytan, even if he were to fly through the
air and walk on water for indeed, it is the Shaytan who carries him
through the air.
