In the name of Allah, Is it Ja’iz to follow Imam Rabbani? Is it allowed to practice upon the edited book (Makthoobat Shareef)? What should be the Aqeeda of Ahl e Thasawwuf?
Awaiting your reply,
Your humble servant.
الجواب حامدا و مصلیا
Since Imam e Rabbani was Mujaddid and Imam of Ahl e Sunnath wal Jama’ath of his era; and his interior, exterior, and esteemed applications were based on Qur’an and Sunnath; and whatever was against to the basic rulings of these two were not accepted in his presence; and along with this he was a follower of Hadhrath Imam e A’zam Rahimahullah, it is permissible to follow him with regard to matters pertaining to Shari’a and to read his book Makthoobath e Shareef.
As for the Aqida of Ahl e Thasawwuf, it should be the same as of the majority of the Ahl e Sunnath wal Jama’ath. Therefore wherever their opinions contradict with the opinion of the majority, it is incumbent to refrain from acting upon them.
Allah knows best.
