What is your opinion of the book "Hadith Al-Haqa'iq 'an Qadar Sayyid Al-Khala'iq," and is its narration of the Prophet's biography accurate?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

This book is authored by the Sufi Fawzi Muhammad Abu Zayd, and it follows the deviant path of Sufis in their beliefs and sciences. It praises straying Sufi imams.

It is obligatory to warn against it and prohibit its perusal. Among the reasons for error in it are: - It quotes from imams of misguidance. - It mentions false stories that promote polytheism (shirk), such as seeking help from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, after his death. - It claims that whoever frequently invokes blessings upon the Prophet will meet him in a waking state. - It mentions fabricated hadiths that have no basis. - It lies about scholars in the authentication of hadiths. - It exaggerates in praising the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, claiming that he is the secret of existence and that Allah created him from His light. - It alleges that Allah informed him of the Tablets and the unseen, so he knows the inhabitants of Paradise and Hellfire.

The book is full of innovations (bid'ah), superstitions, and misguidance. It is not permissible for anyone to pay attention to it, except for a student of knowledge who would clarify its state to people and warn against its innovation.
