Summary

The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that this teaching is deviant and departs from the Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah creed. It found the teaching to contain claims contradicting historical fact, Mujassamah, Jabariah, Mu’tazilah, liberal, religious pluralism and Wahdatul Wujud views, and interpretation of texts by reason without reference to authoritative books. Muslims are prohibited from involvement, directly or indirectly, including practising it, joining, publishing, spreading, visiting, or giving moral or material support to the group.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Ajaran ilmu Ma'rifat (mengenal Allah/diri) yang dibawa oleh Haji Shaari Bin Mohd Yusof adalah SESAT lagi menyesatkan dan menyeleweng dari ajaran Islam yang sebenar berlandaskan pegangan Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah.
