29 - The reformer says: "Sects sprang up in Islam. They parted into two even in iman. Those who followed the Prophet's companions were called 'Ahl as-Sunnat'. Those who departed from this path were called ahl al-bidat. Ahl al-bidat parted into seven groups. Today's Muslims have chosen the way of Jabriyya among these ahl al-bidat groups. Those who claim to be Ahl as-Sunnat say, 'Man can do nothing Allah creates everything and man does what is predestined.' According to them man is incapable in every respect." The reformer mistakes Ahl as-Sunnat for Jabriyya. It is true that man is incapable before the Divine Power in every way. Yet if Muslims considered themselves incapable and others powerful, then the reformer would have a right to speak.
