130: ‘Ilmul-Baatin that is not found in the Book and the Sunnah is an innovation

Everything (some) worshippers claim as hidden knowledge (‘Ilmul-Baatin) that is not found in the Book and the Sunnah is innovation and misguidance. It is not to be acted upon nor called to [1].

NOTES

[1] This is what the extreme innovators, amongst them the Baatinees and extreme Soofees, call to. They explain things away by claiming that they have an outer aspect and an inner aspect. They twist the Book of Allah and His Sharee’ah to suit their own desires. Their claim of receiving hidden religious knowledge, outside of the Book and the Sunnah, is disbelief.
