Wahdatul Wujood and Shuhood

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Mahmoodiyah

Question:

Assalamualaikum …I am having great confusion regarding the belief of “Wahdatul Wujood” and “Wahdatush Shuhood”.  Please clarify it ..I have one more query ..is it right to believe that Allah is physically present everywhere ..I have heard that Allah being omni present means that nothing is hidden from him. please answer me as soon as possible because I am in deep trouble…


Answer:

 

                  

 

Wahdatul Wujood and Wahdatush Shuhood are terminologies of Sufism. It is not necessary to believe in them or understand them in order to be a Muslim. However, if you wish to understand them, then it is best that you contact a well versed ‘Aalim who follows the Sunnah and who is a Khalifah (successor) of a Sheikh who adheres to the Sunnah or his Mureed (associate), and you should sit in his company and make an effort in understanding these terminologies. It is extremely difficult to understand it by reading an article.

Regarding Allah Ta’ala, it is imperative to believe that the Qudrat of Allah is present everywhere and that Allah is aware of the presence of every entity, nothing escapes the Knowledge of Allah and Allah is not dependent on anything in being omni-present.

Do not ponder any further with regards to this.    

And Allah Ta’ala knows best
