DISCUSSION ON THE CONCEPT OF TRANSMIGRATION OR
PENETRATION
One sect of Sunni Sufis believes that Allah penetrates into the Sufis of high piety.
Therefore people visit the mausoleums of saints. Sometimes Sufis claim that Allah and all
things are united and at others they say that Allah has transmigrated or penetrated into
things. The prayer of these sects is singing, clapping, whistling and dancing. They do this,
despite the fact that Allah has forbidden such activities. Allah addresses the unbelievers
thus, “Wa ma kaana salatuhum indalbaithe illa makaan wa tasdeeyatan- their (meaning
the hypocrites) prayer and supplication is nothing more than whistling and clapping near
the Kaaba.” What more impunity one can expect from the people that when Allah
expresses His displeasure at the actions of the hypocrites, they perpetrate them.
I have experienced once that some Sufis came to the mausoleum of Imam Hussain (a.s.).
at dusk. Eryone of them offered prayers excepting one who sat quietly. Similarly at the
Isha prayer, everyone joined the congregation barring the one who sat quietly at the
earlier prayer. I asked one of the Sufis as to why that person didn’t join the prayers. He
replied, “ The person is not obliged to pray because he has reached Allah. For those who
have reached Allah, there is no curtain between them and Him. Then why should they
have the curtain of Prayer between them and Him.Prayer is the Haajib ( the janitor or the
door keeper ) between the Creator and the Creation!”
O wise people! Evaluate their beliefs and way of worship! Imagine their excuse of
foregoing the Obligatory Prayers! The height of their perfidy is that such persons are
considered the Abdals (the saints)!
The Sufis write down their thoughts in verse and their followers read them, sing them, do
clapping in unison, jump and dance! They term these acts as prayers. More about them
later on!!
