            CHAPTER 5: NAZIM AL-QUBRUSI'S FIFTH STATEMENT
            "THE FOLLOWERS OF SHEIKH AL-QUBRUSI ARE 
            BETTER THAN THE PROPHETS."



              
            The people knowledgeable about the Religion and the lay people alike 
            know the prophets are the best of the creation with no equal to them 
            among the created things, for Allah said:
             
            (Al-An^am, 86)
            which means: [We gave every prophet merit over the rest of the 
            creations.] Yet, I saw in the books of both al-Qubrusi and 
            ad-Daghistani that they raise themselves and their followers above 
            the status of prophets, may Allah protect us. On page 13 of his 
            book, Al-Wasiyyah, ^Abdullah al-Fayiz Ad-Daghistani says about the 
            verse of Qur'an:
             
            "The one who recites this verse once wins a high degree and a great 
            status, achieves security and safety in this life and the Hereafter, 
            enters the circle of safety of Allah, receives all the grades and 
            statuses of the esteemed Naqshabandi Tariqah and attains that which 
            the prophets and waliyys have not attained and wins a status higher 
            than the status of Abu Yazid Al-Bustamiyy[a great waliyy]."  
            Ad-Daghistani says in the same book, p. 6: "...the one who shall win 
            in this existing time that which the previous ones did not win in 
            their solitude, spiritual exercises and the smaller and greater 
            jihad, the one who shall win a high degree and a great status that 
            neither the prophets nor the companions have achieved." 
            Isay: We have shown this statement belies the Qur'an. It also belies 
            the unanimous agreement of the Muslim nation. The scholars stated 
            the one who favors a waliyy over one of the prophets blasphemes for 
            that. So, how would the case be when one favors the entire people of 
            our times over the prestiged prophets--simply for reciting verse 285 
            of Surat al-Baqarah:
             
            Al-Qurtubiyy, who is a famous Malikiyy scholar and interpretor of 
            the Qur'an said:
             
            which means: "That the prophet is better than the waliyy is a matter 
            firmly established intellectually and in the texts. The one who 
            opposes that is a blasphemer, for it is a matter of the Religion 
            known to both the knowledgeable one and the lay person." The hafidh, 
            Ibn Hajar, related this statement in Al-Fath, and agreed with it. 
            We ask Allah for safety and good ending. Amin.
