. . . Woe unto you! You lay claim to Islam . . .

Woe unto you! You lay claim to Islam, yet you disagree with the Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace), and you introduce into his religion whatever novelty your whims and passions desire. You have been telling a lie concerning your Islam. Far from being a faithful follower [muttabi], you are in fact a heretical innovator [mubtadi]. Far from being harmoniously compliant, you are actually an incompatible dissident. Surely you must have heard how the Prophet has told us:Follow [the Book and the Sunna], and do not introduce heretical innovations, for you have been given everything you need.

Taken from “The Fortieth Discourse”, given in the year A.H.546/1152 C.E.by Sheik' Abd Al-Qadir Al-Jilani, of the book titled, “The Removal of Cares (Jala Al-Khawatir).
