    b.)  He is Haazir Naazir

    c.)  Alimul Ghaib

    d.) Mukhtaar Kul

If the answer is yes then who and when?  Please provide answer with reference.  Jazakallah


Answer:

 

To regard anybody other than Allah to be the knower of the unseen, Mukhtaar-e-Kul, omnipresent and all observant were the beliefs of the Mushrikeen (polytheists).  Allah Ta’ala and Nabi (S.A.W.) have refuted such beliefs as the Qur’an and the books of Hadith bear testimony to this fact. 

In order to mislead man Shaitaan introduced these baseless beliefs among the Shiite sect, therefore according to the Shiites their Imam is Mukhtaar-e-Kul, omnipresent, all observant and the knower of the unseen.  Through the Shiite sect these false beliefs also penetrated the ignorant Sufis as well as the general masses.  It is for this very reason that in every era the Ulamaa and Fuqahaa have tackled and refuted such beliefs and classified these people as Kuffar.

Nabi (S.A.W.) according to his Thaat (personality) is Bashar (human) and according to his Sifaat (qualities) he is Noor (light) just as how a tube light is glass according to its Thaat and when it illuminates it looks as if it is in itself Noor (light).  In the similar manner, Nabi (S.A.W.) is the Noor of guidance.

The Christians believe that Isa (A.S.) is a part of Allah; therefore it is possible that these beliefs penetrated the ignorant Sufis and Muslims that Nabi (S.A.W.) is also a part of Allah’s Noor.  However, Moulana Ahmad Radhaa Khan supported such futile and baseless beliefs and substantiated them and authored many booklets to oppose the Ulamaa-e-Haqq, therefore he became known as the founder of these beliefs.  We do not know for sure who else supported these beliefs prior to Moulana Ahmad Radhaa Khan.  For further information please refer to ‘Barelviat Talsam Fareb Yaa Haqeeqat’ by Dr. Abu Adnaan Suhail and ‘Math-hab Ahle Sunnah wal Jamaat’ of Allamah Muhammad Ramadhaan sahib.
