Page 26 - Microsoft Word - Du'a and Wirid (Autosaved)

Because of that, it is obligatory for the Islāmic community to

be careful, and not to possess, memorise and practice dufiā√, dhikr
and wirid that have not been exemplified by the Messenger of Allāh

, because such matters can lead to bidfiah, apostasy, shirk,

deviation, pollution of the heart, rejection of deeds, and do not lead
towards humility and distances oneself from Allāh , because

Shaiṭān endeavors towards the apostasy and distancing of the

children of √◊dam  from Allāh .

There are plenty of such books made by the Sufis from within
the realms of history until now, and moreover now there is an

abundance of Sufi style dhikr wherein they teach the methodology

of performing dhikr by repeating in the hundreds and thousands in
groups with loud voices and crying. Their references are from

books containing mawḍūfi aḥādīth and there is no source from
within any of the ṣaḥīḥ aḥādīth that clarifies such kaifīyat (mode or

14
manner of operation, methodologies). Their actions are bidfiah,
excessiveness in acts of fiibādah and exhibitionism, and moreover
they are aired throughout electronic media and within the written

media in order to exhibit weeping and pretense at humility in front

of the Muslim community. From here, Shaiṭān entices and misleads

14 The attitude of a Muslim must be that when there is no ṣaḥīḥ ḥadīth that clarifies the manner
in which something is done, like with dufiāʾ or dhikr, then he must return to what has been
exemplified by the Messenger of Allāh , the way in which he carried out such dufiāʾ and
dhikr, and likewise the way in which the companions  understood his  statements regarding
these matters.
