            CHAPTER 4: NAZIM AL-QUBRUSI'S FOURTH STATEMENT
            "THE CREATION IS ETERNAL WITHOUT A BEGINNING."



            Nazim al-Qubrusi al-Haqqani said in his book MercyOceans, p.13:  
                He [Allah] is a king. 
                And yet you cannot find a king without a kingdom. Without 
                subjects his kingship has no meaning. Just as there can be no 
                meaning for a prophet without an ummah (nation). Therefore, 
                Allah was ready without beginning, and his servants also were 
                ready without beginning. If there were no people, to whom was He 
                Allah? Was it to Himself? No! A hadith relates: "I was a secret 
                treasure and wanted to be known." His people were part of this 
                treasure." 
            Note: This hadith is not a sahihone--definitely it is fabricated, as 
            determined by the scholars of thehadith. It is obvious to anyone 
            with a sound mind that it is impossible for Allah to liken Himself 
            to a treasure, since He attributed to Himself in the Qur'an that 
            nothing is like Him. 
            Isay: These words of his are explicitly claiming both Allah andthe 
            slaves are eternal. Not only that, such words claim the slaves are 
            parts ofAllah. This conviction is blasphemy by consensus. Allah, the 
            Exalted, said:
             
            (Al-Hadid, 3)
            which means: [He is the only One Who is eternal, without a 
            beginning.] Allah praised Himself in the Qur'an for being "al-Awwal" 
            (the Only One who is eternal without a beginning.) Had it been the 
            case that someone else shares this attribute of eternity without a 
            beginning with Allah, He would not have praised Himself with it. 
            Moreover, Allah made it very clear for us in the Qur'an that it is 
            not permissible for anyone to claim to be a part of Allah. Allah 
            dispraised the blasphemers for such a saying. He said in Surat 
            az-Zukhruf, Verse 15: 
             
            which means: [They claimed among the slaves is a part of Allah.] How 
            could the slave, who is in need of rest, drink, and food, and who 
            gets tired, who perspires, and who defecates, be part of Allah, the 
            Almighty and Powerful?  
            Allah is One--without a partner. He has no beginning and is not a 
            body or a soul. He exists and is not similar to other existing 
            things. He is not an origin for others (others are not parts of 
            Allah), and not offspring from others--just as Allah said:
             
            (Al-Ikhlas, 3-4)
            which means: [Allah did not give birth to anyone and was not given 
            birth to. No one is equal to Allah.] Al-Bukhariyynarrated the 
            Prophet said: 
             
            which means: <<Allah existed [eternally] and nothing else was 
            existing.>> Everything other than Allah is a creation of Allah; it 
            was not existing then it came into existence.Allah brought it into 
            existence from a state of non existence by His Power, just as Allah 
            said:
             
            (Al-Furqan, 2)
            which means: [Allah is the Creator of everything.] The one who 
            belies that has no share in Islam. 
            On page 82 of the book, Mercy Oceans, it is reported one of Nazim 
            al-Qubrusi's students said to him, 
                "You gave us a good lesson, Maulana, when you told us that there 
                is no king without a kingdom, no prophet without an ummah, no 
                Creator without creatures. Allah is uncreated, and servants are 
                also uncreated. But when we come to this life, we forget."
                "Yes," replied the Shaykh. "It is enough. You cannot go too deep 
                without sinking!" 
            Isay: All of this is an explicit declaration of the creed of unity 
            of the slave with the Creator--undoubtedly NOT the creed of the 
            Muslims. We ask Allah, the Exalted, to protect us from such a creed. 
            Amin.
