Deobandi Belief: "Allah is Everywhere and in Everything!" (Hulool) معاذ الله

Recently three question were posed to the Dar ul Iftaa (Fatwa Department) of Deoband:

1. Does Allah exist everywhere?

2. Does Allah exist everywhere simultaneously?

3. Does Allah exist inside everything?

 

The Deobandi fatwa answered:

جی ہاں اللہ تعالیٰ ہرجگہ ہے۔
(۲) جی ہاں ایک ہی وقت میں ہرجگہ موجود ہے۔
(۳) اللہ تعالیٰ ہرچیز میں موجود ہے۔ یہ تمام امور قرآنی آیات سے ثابت ہیں۔

To all three questions, the Deobandi fatwa answered in the affirmative. So the Deobandi belief is that Allah exists everywhere and exists inside everything! This creed is known as Hulool (pantheism), the heresy that Allah is indwelling inside His creation, and such a belief is nothing but Shirk and Kufr!

The Deobandi belief that Allah exists everywhere is in fact inherited from the deviant Saalimiyyah sect, about which Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani wrote:

"And among their (Saalimiyyah) sayings is that Allah exists in every place (Fee Kulli Makaan), and they make no distinction in this respect between the Throne and the places other than it. And the Quran denies this, Allah says 'Ar-Rahmaan is over the Throne, firmly established' (Surah 20, Ayat #5), and Allah did not say 'established on the earth, or in the mountains, etc.'"
