Questioner says: “Those who say: “We only worship Allah upon love for him and
we do not fear his punishment and we do not desire his reward.” Who are they
and what is the ruling of their statement?”
Shaikh Saalih
al-Fawzaan: “This is a statement of the Sufiyyah; it is an error and refuge is
sought with Allah, this is in opposition to the methodology of (all of) the
Prophets. “Verily, they used to hasten on to do good deeds, and they used to
call upon Us with hope and fear, and used to humble themselves before Us.”
Surah Al-Anbiya’ Verse 90
“Those whom
they call upon [like Isa – son of Maryam, Uzair (Ezra), angel] desire (for
themselves) means of access to their Lord (Allah), as to which of them should
be the nearest; and they [Isa, Uzair (Ezra), angels and others] hope for His
Mercy and fear His torment. Indeed the torment of your Lord is (something) to
be afraid of.” Surah Al-Isra Verse 57
Therefore
whoever worships Allah upon fear only then he is a Khaarijee, whoever worships
Allah upon hope only then he is from the Murji’ah and whoever worships Allah
upon love only then he is a Sufi.
And (finally)
whoever worships Allah upon Love, Hope and Fear then he is a believer upon
Tawheed.”
