Summary
The 106th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee (2014) ruled that this teaching is deviant and misguided, contrary to Islam based on the Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah creed. The ruling found that it contradicts historical facts, carries Mujassimah, Jabariyyah, Muktazilah, Liberal, religious Pluralism and Wahdatul Wujud views, and interprets religious texts by reason alone without referring to authoritative books. All teaching, publication and distribution of its materials must stop immediately and are prohibited, and religious authorities are urged to act to curb it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Muzakarah bersetuju memutuskan bahawa ajaran Ilmu Makrifat (Mengenal Allah/Diri) yang dibawa oleh Haji Shaari bin Mohd Yusof adalah sesat dan menyeleweng dari ajaran Islam yang sebenar berlandaskan pegangan Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah.
