A discourse in English by Shaykh Abu Muhammad Abd al-Haadi al-Qaadiri Nuri.

Some people believe that Allah Ta'ala is "Omnipresent", that is, Allah Ta’ala is Present and Over-looking at every time and at every place. They believe Allah Ta’ala to be "Haazir" and "Naazir". This is not true, as Allah Ta'ala is not bound by time and space. Allah Ta'ala is Present and Seeing from eternity without time and without space.


Allah Ta'ala's Attributes, namely, Life, Knowledge, Power and Speech, are without time and without place, so are Allah Ta’ala’s other attributes. Allah Ta'ala's Attributes always exists and will continue to exist till eternity. There is a great difference between Allah Ta'ala being Present and the souls of His creation being present. No one is present like Allah Ta'ala being Present.


The Angels, the souls of Prophets, the souls of the Awliya Allah and the souls of pious Muslims are present at any place where they are called. They were non-existent, before being present. They will seize to exist after a while. The souls of the creation were absent before it became present there, and will be absent some time later. The presence of the souls is with time and with place. Now that we have explained the concept of Allah Ta'ala being Present and clarified our position with regards to the station of the souls in this respect, we will explain the concept of Haazir (present) and Naazir (over-looking) of the Holy Prophet, Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam. It is the belief of the Ahle Sunnah Wal Jama’at that the Holy Prophet Muhammad, Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, is given power by Allah Ta'ala to be Haazir and Naazir.


Some persons say that the Ahle Sunnat Wa Jamaat believes that the Holy Prophet Muhammad, Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, is present like Allah Ta’ala is Present. This is totally false because the Ahle Sunnah Wal Jama'at does not have such a belief. The Ulema have used the words "Haazir-o-Naazir" for Rasoolullah, Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam. Allah Ta'ala states in the Holy Quran:

"How then if I brought from each people a Witness and brought you ('O Muhammad) as a Witness against these people". (Sura al-Nisa: 41).

This proves that each Prophet is a Witness for his Ummah, for those who accept Allah Ta'ala and those who reject Him. It also proves that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah, Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, was present before each Ummah, witnessing their deeds.
