CHAPTER 12: NAZIM AL-QUBRUSI'S TWELFTH STATEMENT













             



            CHAPTER 12: NAZIM AL-QUBRUSI'S TWELFTH STATEMENT
            "Eat unlawful (haram) meat."
             
            We all know that the abdomen of the human being is the first part 
            that rots in the grave. The Prophet said:
             
            which means: << Hellfire is more deserving of every flesh that grew 
            from unlawful consumption.>> 
            In his book, MercyOceans, page 98-99, Nazim Qubrusi says: 
                "When I first met our Grandshaykh, " Shaykh Nazim replied, "I 
                was also very strict, very particular, about my food. But he 
                told me, 'It is not good manners to be like that. When you are a 
                guest, you must not ask, 'Is this food clean?' No! You must give 
                your host the benefit of the doubt. When you know that the food 
                is pork, don't eat it, but say instead, 'I am a vegetarian,' or 
                something like this. You must have good manners towards 
                everybody. If you are in doubt as to whether meat (assuming that 
                it is not pork) is halal or not, you may say, three times, 
                'Shahada,' and, seventy times, 'astaghfirullah.' Then, as you 
                eat, and you say, 'Bismillah,' Allah Almighty will make that 
                food clean for you, in the time it takes for you to raise it 
                from your plate and put it in your mouth!
                "When you are buying meat and you think that it has come in 
                contact with pork, or utensils that have been used to handle and 
                prepare pork, you may wash it, and repeat the formula we just 
                said. If you can obtain Halal (or Kosher) meat, of course it is 
                best. But, when you are somebody's guest, don't ask! Even if it 
                is known to you that they usually cook with lard, you must 
                assume that, this time, for you, they cleaned their pots and 
                pans and didn't use it. Only if you are certain that pork or 
                pork products were used may you refrain from eating."  
            Isay: There is not even one statement of any one of the scholars to 
            that effect; such meaning is not in the Qur'an;and there is no 
            confirmed hadith which gives such a meaning. Rather, what is 
            mentioned in the Qur'an and hadith and in the statements of the 
            scholars is quite contrary to Sheikh Nazim's saying. So, from where 
            did Sheikh Nazim get his statement!? How did Sheikh Nazim come up 
            with such a statement, i.e., haram meat would transform to halalif 
            one recites the shahadah and asks forgiveness? Allah, the Exalted, 
            said: 
             
            (Al-Baqarah, 111)
            which means: [Bring your proof if you are truthful.] Nazim Qubrusi 
            has no proof for his words. Allah is the One Who guides to the 
            acceptable deeds.
