            CHAPTER 2: NAZIM AL-QUBRUSI'S SECOND STATEMENT
            "THE ORDERS OF THE SUPREME SHEIKH ARE THE ORDERS OF ALLAH."


            On page 6 in his book, MercyOceans, Nazim al-Qubrusi says, "The 
            orders of the Qutb (supreme sheikh) are the orders of Allah, and his 
            will is equivalent of Allah's will." His Sheikh, ^Abdullah al-Fayiz 
            ad-Daghistani says in the book, "Al-Wasiyyah," on page 9: "The other 
            definition of the Tariqah is for the follower to be ready to receive 
            the order from his sheikh just as the Prophet used to wait for the 
            Revelation to come from Allah."  
            Isay: These words are astonishing and include equating some slaves 
            with Allah, the Exalted. Such words contradict the saying of Allah:
             
            (An-Nur, 21)
            which means: [Had it not been for the Endowment of Allahand His 
            Mercy, none of you would have succeeded.] Such words also contradict 
            Allah'ssaying:
             
            (At Takwir, 29)
            which mean: [You only will that which Allah willed for you.] As 
            well, their saying is refuted by the hadith of the Prophet related 
            by at-Tabaraniyy: 
             
            which means: <<You can find correct and incorrect things in the 
            sayings of any one, save the Messenger of Allah.>> 
            Their saying is also refuted by the practices of Abu Bakr and ^Umar. 
            If they disagreed about a certain matter, they would discuss it. Abu 
            Bakr never told ^Umar, "My words are like a Revelation," and ^Umar 
            did not have such a conviction about the words of Abu Bakr. ^Umar's 
            conviction was clearly manifested in the way he handled himself as 
            soon as the woman reminded him of an ayah pertaining to the marriage 
            payment (mahr) of the women, as mentioned before. 
            There are no common denominators between the slave and Allah, the 
            Exalted. No matter how high a status any waliyy among the followers 
            of the prophets attains, he is not impeccable as the prophets were 
            impeccable, and he remains, in all cases, a slave of Allah.
