Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that this teaching is deviant, misleading and a departure from Islam as held by Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah. It found the teaching to contain claims contradicting historical fact, Mujassamah, Jabariah, Mu’tazilah, liberal, religious pluralism and Wahdatul Wujud views, and interpretations of texts by reason without reference to authoritative books. Muslims are forbidden to be involved directly or indirectly, including practising, joining, printing, spreading, recording and 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.
