In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Allaah [The Most High] said:

وَلَا تَلْبِسُوا الْحَقَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتَكْتُمُوا الْحَقَّ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

And mix not truth with falsehood, nor conceal the truth while you know (the truth). [2:42]

Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

Allah forbade us from mixing truth with falsehood, thus leading to concealment of the truth. Mixing truth with false is by mixing the two until one of them is confused for the other. This is forgery and deceit by way of which what is made apparent is the opposite of what it is in reality. Likewise, when truth is confounded with falsehood, the culprit manifests falsehood in the image of truth and speaks with a statement that carries two meanings- a correct meaning and false meaning, so the listener is under the illusion that the speaker intends the correct meaning, whilst he intends the corrupt meaning. [An Excerpt from Badaa’i At-Tafseer Al-Jaami Limaa Fassarahu Al-Imaam Ibn Al- Qayyim. 1/124]

Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim said: said:

The basis of Banee Adam’s misguidance is as a result of ‘General Terms’ and ‘Ambiguous Meanings’ [i.e. terms & meanings which can either be utilised for truth or falsehood when not explained in detail and distinguished], especially if they come in contact with a confused mind, then how about when [evil] desires and misguided enthusiasm is added to that? Therefore, ask the One Who keeps the hearts steadfast [i.e. Allaah] to keep your heart firm upon His Religion and not allow you to fall into this darkness. [1]

The basis of a person’s Islam is to testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is the Messenger of Allah, to believe in Allah, declare that Allah is One without partner, obey Allah’s commands, keep away from what Allah has forbidden and single out Allah in worship. Safeguarding this path (necessitates) the prohibition of every expression that contains Shirk Billaah [i.e. ascribing partners to Allah] or Kufr, or will lead to one of the two. [2] In the Qur’an, there are many words that are utilised to rebut the words that are in opposition to the call of the Messengers, the revelation that was revealed to them and the truth they brought. [3]

One of the general fundamental principles (in Islam) is to know that words (or terms) are two types: words that are mentioned in the Qur’an and the Sunnah, therefore, it is obligated to every believer to affirm them – affirm what Allah and His Messenger have affirmed, and negate what Allah and His Messenger have negated. The words affirmed by Allah is truth and the ones Allah negated are (negated) in truth, for indeed Allah speaks the truth and guides to the straight path. The words of the Shariah are sanctified, and it is from perfection in knowledge that one seeks after the (sound meanings) which the Messenger intended, in order to affirm what he affirmed and negate the meanings he negated, for indeed it is obligated to us to believe and bear witness to everything he has stated and follow him in everything he has commanded. As for the words that are neither found in the Qur’an and the Sunnah, nor did the pious predecessors hold a consensus regarding whether they are negated or affirmed, it is not incumbent upon anyone to agree with the one who negates or affirms them until its intended meaning is explained. So, if its intended meaning agrees with the (revelation, commands, prohibitions etc) conveyed by the Messenger, they are affirmed; but if their intended meaning is in opposition, they are rejected. [4]

Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim said:

It is obligated to you to give detail and make a distinction, because unrestricted and general (statements) without clarification has indeed corrupted this existence [i.e. the world], and misguided the intellects and views [of the people] in every era”.

Al-Allamah Salih Al-Fawzaan said:

There has to be detail explanation. The one who is not proficient in giving detail should keep quiet, because benefit is not acquired from his speech. Every time error occurs, its cause is due to an absence of detail explanation regarding truth and falsehood. There has to be detail explanation and distinction and not to mix up (matters). Indeed, it may be that there is something of truth and falsehood in an opponent’s statement, so all of it is neither deemed to be false nor truth; rather there has to be a distinction between its truth and falsehood. All of it is neither rejected nor accepted; rather a distinction is made regarding the truth and what is correct and the falsehood and error in it. And if you are not proficient in giving detail, then you should not enter into this field”. [5]

In an article written by Jason Burke [Sat 18 July 2020] about the unrest in a West African Muslim Country [Mali], the following affairs were mentioned in his article: Climate Change, Poor Rulership, Extremism/Jihadists, Demonstrations/Popular Movements, Sex Education, Homosexuality, khumeini, Traditional, Syncretic Sufi Tradition of Islam], but there was no distinction between truth and falsehood in these matters. Therefore, we present to you the knowledge-based articles and clear upright guidance regarding these matters. May Allah bless you Aameen.
