📌 In this video: Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan (حفظه الله) is asked: “Is there a difference between the Hululiyyah — those who say Allah is in every place — and between the saying of Wahdat al-Wujud (Unity of Existence)?” The Shaykh responds that indeed, there is a difference between the two: - Hululiyyah – The kufri belief that Allah is distinct from His creation, yet He indwells within it. - Wahdat al-Wujud – The kufri belief that Allah and the creation are one and the same, with no separation; the creation is Allah and Allah is the creation. ⚠️ Both beliefs are clear nullifiers of Islam, contradicting tawheed and the correct aqeedah of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaah. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728H) said in al-Tis‘iniyyah (pg. 220): “They, when they CLARIFY THEIR MEANING — as their imams and their TAWAGHEET openly declare — that there is no Lord above the Throne, and no Being above the universe, let alone that there is above it the One whose existence is necessary, it is said to them: This is known to be false by necessity, by the innate fitrah of the intellect, by the rational evidences of reasoning, and by the necessary evidences of iman that are revealed and legislated.” ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ The issue arises when the common follower of the Ash‘ariyyah or Sufiyyah says: “Allah is not in a direction or a place,” or “Allah is everywhere.” What they mean with their wording must be understood: - If he means that Allah in His essence is everywhere inside the creation — then he is a kafir without any doubt. - But if he means that Allah is far above being contained within the sky or confined in the creation, or that Allah is with us everywhere by His knowledge — then he is not a kafir, though he is using incorrect and innovated terminology. 👉 The meaning here is critical, because these terms are innovated and not known by necessity. Therefore, before making takfir, one must first understand what the person means, and then judge accordingly. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 Official Fatwa (Arabic): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS6MUpXQx4c ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ Authentic and True, From The Scholars to You ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #Islam #Muslim #Quran #Hadith #Sunnah #Aqeedah #Aqidah #Tawheed #Kufr #Shirk #Takfir #IbnTaymiyyah #WahdatAlWujud #Hululiyyah #UnityOfExistence #Ashari #Jahmiyyah #AhlusSunnah #Salafi #Salafiyyah #IslamicCreed #CorrectBelief #IslamicRefutation #Ilm #Scholars #Fatwa #Manhaj #Bidah #IslamicKnowledge #IslamicReminder #TrueIslam #AuthenticIslam #Creed #Athari #Hanbali #Fiqh #Murjiah #Irja #SalihAlFawzan #IslamicBelief
