Is the claim that Sheikh Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani has ninety-nine names, and that enumerating them leads to Paradise, and that his names are like the names of Allah in reward and effect, and that reciting one of his names is like reciting one of the names of Allah, and that his noble name is like Allah's Greatest Name, considered a form of likening the Creator to the creation and the creation to the Creator?
It is a claim of denial, an innovation, and an exaggeration concerning a created being, likening him to the Creator. It leads its proponent to apostasy from the religion if he does not recant. Exaggeration concerning a created being is one of the causes of falling into polytheism (shirk), and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, warned against it.
