A Sufi Shaykh claiming to be ordered to be silent during a sermon


357

A: The mentioned person's silence during the Khutbah (sermon) and saying that he is prevented from or (Part No. 2; Page No. 63) ordered to do something implies that he claims receiving inspiration and Prophethood, even if he did not say so directly. There is no doubt that claiming Prophethood after Muhammad (peace be upon him) is a lie, falsehood and Kufr (disbelief); because Allah (Exalted be He) concluded Prophethood with the Message of Muhammad (peace be upon him). Allah (Exalted be He) says: Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allâh and the last (end) of the Prophets. And Allâh is Ever All-Aware of everything. It is authentically reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: I am the `Aqib (the last to come) after whom there will be no prophet.
