Where would a Zionist Terrorist inherit his extreme disbelief, intoxication with the desire for transgression, treachery, and bloodshed?!

Allah [The Exalted] said:

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكۡفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقۡتُلُونَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ بِغَيۡرِ حَقٍّ۬ وَيَقۡتُلُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَأۡمُرُونَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ فَبَشِّرۡهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ ٱلَّذِينَ حَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَـٰلُهُمۡ فِى ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأَخِرَةِ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّـٰصِرِينَ

أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ نَصِيبً۬ا مِّنَ ٱلۡڪِتَـٰبِ يُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَىٰ ڪِتَـٰبِ ٱللَّهِ لِيَحۡكُمَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّىٰ فَرِيقٌ۬ مِّنۡهُمۡ وَهُم مُّعۡرِضُونَ

ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَالُواْ لَن تَمَسَّنَا ٱلنَّارُ إِلَّآ أَيَّامً۬ا مَّعۡدُودَٲتٍ۬‌ۖ وَغَرَّهُمۡ فِى دِينِهِم مَّا ڪَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ

فَكَيۡفَ إِذَا جَمَعۡنَـٰهُمۡ لِيَوۡمٍ۬ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيهِ وَوُفِّيَتۡ ڪُلُّ نَفۡسٍ۬ مَّا ڪَسَبَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ

Verily! Those who disbelieve in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah and kill the Prophets without right (i.e. the transgressors among Bani Israa’eel and not all of them), and kill those men who order just dealings, announce to them a painful torment. They are those whose works will be lost in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers. Have you not seen those who have been given a portion of the Scripture? They are being invited to the Book of Allah to settle their dispute, then a party of them turn away, and they are averse. This is because they say: “The Fire shall not touch us but for a number of days.” And that which they used to invent regarding their religion has deceived them. How (will it be) when We gather them together on the Day about which there is no doubt (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). And each person will be paid in full what he has earned? And they will not be dealt with unjustly. [Al-Imram. Ayaat 21-25]

Allah [The Exalted] stated:

وَإِذۡ قُلۡتُمۡ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ لَن نَّصۡبِرَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامٍ۬ وَٲحِدٍ۬ فَٱدۡعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُخۡرِجۡ لَنَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مِنۢ بَقۡلِهَا وَقِثَّآٮِٕهَا وَفُومِهَا وَعَدَسِہَا وَبَصَلِهَا‌ۖ قَالَ أَتَسۡتَبۡدِلُونَ ٱلَّذِى هُوَ أَدۡنَىٰ بِٱلَّذِى هُوَ خَيۡرٌ‌ۚ ٱهۡبِطُواْ مِصۡرً۬ا فَإِنَّ لَڪُم مَّا سَأَلۡتُمۡ‌ۗ وَضُرِبَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلذِّلَّةُ وَٱلۡمَسۡڪَنَةُ وَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٍ۬ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ‌ۗ ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ يَكۡفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقۡتُلُونَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ بِغَيۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّ ‌ۗ ذَٲلِكَ بِمَا عَصَواْ وَّڪَانُواْ يَعۡتَدُونَ

And (remember) when you said, “O Musa (Moses)! We cannot endure one kind of food. So invoke your Lord for us to bring forth for us of what the earth grows, its herbs, its cucumbers, its Fum (wheat or garlic), its lentils, and its onions.” He said, “Would you exchange that which is better for that which is lower? Go you down to any town and you shall find what you want!” And they were covered with humiliation and misery, and they drew on themselves the Wrath of Allah. That was because they (i.e. the rebellious among them) used to disbelieve the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah and killed the Prophets wrongfully. That was because they disobeyed and used to transgress the bounds (in their disobedience to Allah, i.e. commit crimes and sins). [Surah Al-Baqarah. Ayah 61]

Allah [The Exalted] says:

يَسۡـَٔلُكَ أَهۡلُ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ أَن تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيۡہِمۡ كِتَـٰبً۬ا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ‌ۚ فَقَدۡ سَأَلُواْ مُوسَىٰٓ أَكۡبَرَ مِن ذَٲلِكَ فَقَالُوٓاْ أَرِنَا ٱللَّهَ جَهۡرَةً۬ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ بِظُلۡمِهِمۡ‌ۚ ثُمَّ ٱتَّخَذُواْ ٱلۡعِجۡلَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَتۡهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتُ فَعَفَوۡنَا عَن ذَٲلِكَ‌ۚ وَءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ سُلۡطَـٰنً۬ا مُّبِينً۬ا
وَرَفَعۡنَا فَوۡقَهُمُ ٱلطُّورَ بِمِيثَـٰقِهِمۡ وَقُلۡنَا لَهُمُ ٱدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡبَابَ سُجَّدً۬ا وَقُلۡنَا لَهُمۡ لَا تَعۡدُواْ فِى ٱلسَّبۡتِ وَأَخَذۡنَا مِنۡہُم مِّيثَـٰقًا غَلِيظً۬ا
فَبِمَا نَقۡضِہِم مِّيثَـٰقَهُمۡ وَكُفۡرِهِم بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَقَتۡلِهِمُ ٱلۡأَنۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيۡرِ حَقٍّ۬ وَقَوۡلِهِمۡ قُلُوبُنَا غُلۡفُۢ‌ۚ بَلۡ طَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡہَا بِكُفۡرِهِمۡ فَلَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلاً۬
وَبِكُفۡرِهِمۡ وَقَوۡلِهِمۡ عَلَىٰ مَرۡيَمَ بُہۡتَـٰنًا عَظِيمً۬ا
وَقَوۡلِهِمۡ إِنَّا قَتَلۡنَا ٱلۡمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَـٰكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمۡ‌ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ لَفِى شَكٍّ۬ مِّنۡهُ‌ۚ مَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍ إِلَّا ٱتِّبَاعَ ٱلظَّنِّ‌ۚ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينَۢا
بَل رَّفَعَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيۡهِ‌ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمً۬ا

The people of the Scripture ask you to cause a book to descend upon them from heaven. Indeed they asked Musa (Moses) for even greater than that when they said: “Show us Allah in public,” but they were struck with thunderclaps and lightning for their wickedness. Then they worshipped the calf even after clear proofs, evidences, and signs had come to them. (Even) so We forgave them. And We gave Musa (Moses) a clear proof of authority. And for their covenant, We raised over them the Mount and (on the other occasion) We said: “Enter the gate prostrating (or bowing) with humility;” and We commanded them: “Transgress not (by doing worldly works on) the Sabbath (Saturday).” And We took from them a firm covenant. Because of their breaking the covenant (i.e. the transgressors among them), and of their rejecting the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, and of their killing the Prophets unjustly, and of their saying: “Our hearts are wrapped (with coverings, i.e. we do not understand what the Messengers say)” – nay, Allah has set a seal upon their hearts because of their disbelief, so they believe not but a little. And because of their disbelief and uttering against Maryam (Mary) a grave false charge (that she has committed illegal sexual intercourse); and because of their saying (in boast), “We killed Messiah ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allah,” – but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of ‘Iesa (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not [i.e. ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)]: But Allah raised him [‘Iesa (Jesus)] up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise. [Surah Al-Nisaa. Ayaat 153-158]

Allah [The Exalted] said:

وَإِذۡ أَخَذۡنَا مِيثَـٰقَكُمۡ لَا تَسۡفِكُونَ دِمَآءَكُمۡ وَلَا تُخۡرِجُونَ أَنفُسَكُم مِّن دِيَـٰرِكُمۡ ثُمَّ أَقۡرَرۡتُمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ تَشۡہَدُونَ
ثُمَّ أَنتُمۡ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ تَقۡتُلُونَ أَنفُسَكُمۡ وَتُخۡرِجُونَ فَرِيقً۬ا مِّنكُم مِّن دِيَـٰرِهِمۡ تَظَـٰهَرُونَ عَلَيۡهِم بِٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡعُدۡوَٲنِ وَإِن يَأۡتُوكُمۡ أُسَـٰرَىٰ تُفَـٰدُوهُمۡ وَهُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَيۡڪُمۡ إِخۡرَاجُهُمۡ‌ۚ أَفَتُؤۡمِنُونَ بِبَعۡضِ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ وَتَكۡفُرُونَ بِبَعۡضٍ۬‌ۚ فَمَا جَزَآءُ مَن يَفۡعَلُ ذَٲلِكَ مِنڪُمۡ إِلَّا خِزۡىٌ۬ فِى ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا‌ۖ وَيَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ يُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰٓ أَشَدِّ ٱلۡعَذَابِ‌ۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَـٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ
أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشۡتَرَوُاْ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا بِٱلۡأَخِرَةِ‌ۖ فَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنۡہُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنصَرُونَ

And (remember) when We took your covenant (saying): Shed not the blood of your people, nor turn out your own people from their dwellings. Then, (this) you ratified and (to this) you bear witness. After this, it is you who kill one another and drive out a party of you from their homes, assist (their enemies) against them, in sin and transgression. And if they come to you as captives, you ransom them, although their expulsion was forbidden to you. Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest? Then what is the recompense of those who do so among you, except disgrace in the life of this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be consigned to the most grievous torment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do. Those are they who have bought the life of this world at the price of the Hereafter. Their torment shall not be lightened nor shall they be helped. [Surah Al-Baqarah. Ayaat 84-86]

This deed mentioned in the Ayah was that of those who were in Madina at the time of revelation. Al-Aws and Al-Khazraj – who became the Ansar (after accepting Islam) – were polytheists before the advent of the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him]. They used to fight according to the pre-Islamic custom, so the three (specific) Jewish groups came to them: Banu Quradha, Banu Al-Nadir, and Banu Al-Qaynuqa. Each group allied with a group of the people of Madina, so when they fought, a Jew would help his ally against the fighters who were supported by the other group of Jews, and a Jew would kill another Jew and expel him from his home when expulsion and plunder occurred. Then, when the battle ended, and both groups held captives against each group, they demanded ransom from each other. So, three matters were obligated to them: neither shed one another’s blood nor expel one another, and If they find a prisoner of their own, they must ransom him. So, they did the last and abandon the first, but Allah declared His rejection against them, saying: [أَفَتُؤۡمِنُونَ بِبَعۡضِ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ وَتَكۡفُرُونَ بِبَعۡضٍ۬‌ۚ – Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest?]- Meaning, (You believe in) freeing the captive by paying the ransom, but you kill and expel people from their homes. This Ayah contains the greatest evidence that Iman requires following commands and avoiding prohibitions and that commands are part of Iman. Allah said:

فَمَا جَزَآءُ مَن يَفۡعَلُ ذَٲلِكَ مِنڪُمۡ إِلَّا خِزۡىٌ۬ فِى ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا‌ۖ وَيَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ يُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰٓ أَشَدِّ ٱلۡعَذَابِ‌ۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَـٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ

Then what is the recompense of those who do so among you, except disgrace in the life of this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be consigned to the most grievous torment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do. [1]

 

Ahlul Bidah among the Muslims are also initiators of evil and bloodshed

Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him) stated: The wars that take place between the Muslims and the splitting are only brought about by the people of desires, such as the Khawaarij, the Mutazilah, and other than them! The people of desires are the ones who cause the fitnah—the Mutazilah, the khawaarij, the Rawaafid (Shiites) and other than them. Fitnah does not occur except from them and as a result of them. Who murdered Uthmaan (may Allah be pleased with him)? Who murdered Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)? Who were the ones that ignited the fitnah between the Muslims thereafter? It was none else other than those people of desires. Who misled Al-Mamoon and those rulers who came after him to put Ahlus Sunnah to trial, until their Imaam Ahmad Bin Hanbal (may Allah have mercy upon him) was beaten and imprisoned? It was none else other than the people of desires. Who brought about the imprisonment of Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) until he died in prison? It was none else other than those people of desires! It is upon us to be cautious of these people because the end result of their fitnah leads to the splitting of the unity of the Muslims, rebellion against the Muslim rulers, and splitting the Jamaa’ahof the Muslims so that they become divergent groups and parties, which is the opposite of being one united Ummah.

The Dangerous Consequences of Bloodshed

Allah [The Exalted] said:

وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ يَلْقَ أَثَامًا * يُضَاعَفْ لَهُ الْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ فِيهِ مُهَانًا * إِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَأُولَئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا

And those who invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah, nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this shall receive the punishment. The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein in disgrace; Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds, for those, Allah will change their sins into good deeds, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [Surah Al-Furqaan. Aayaat 68-70]

Allah [The Most High] said:
وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا

And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein, and the Wrath and the Curse of Allah are upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for him. [Surah An-Nisaa. Aayah 93]

Ibn Abbaas [may Allaah be pleased with him and his father] reported that the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, “The one who was murdered will come with the scalp and head of his killer in his hand on the Day of Resurrection, his jugular vein flowing with blood and saying, ‘O Lord! This one killed me!’ And he will draw near to the Throne.” They (i.e. the people) mentioned repentance to Ibn Abbaas, so he recited the Aayah, [وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ – Whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell]; then he said, “This Aayah has not been abrogated or replaced, so where is his repentance?” [Saheeh Sunan At-Tirmidhee 3029]

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said, “And that which is established with fact regarding this matter is that murder is attached to (violation) of three rights: the right of Allaah, the right of the victim and the right of the heir. If the muderer voluntarily hands over himself to the heir, shows remorse for what he has done out of fear of Allaah and repents sincerely, then Allaah’s right is waivered through repentance. And heir’s right is that he can seek retaliation (i.e. via the Islamic sharee’ah), reconciliation or he (or she) can pardon. Then what remains is the victim’s right, (which) Allaah will recompense for him on the Day of Judgement from His servant who is a repentant person and a good-doer, and rectify affairs between them, so neither the right of the victim nor the repentance of the murderer is nullified”. [Jawaab Al-Kaafee. page 102]

Allaah [The Exalted] said:
مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ أَوْ فَسَادٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا وَمَنْ أَحْيَاهَا فَكَأَنَّمَا أَحْيَا النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا

If anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land – it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. [Surah Al-Maa’idah. Ayah 32]

Imaam As-Sadi [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said: If a person is bold enough to kill someone who does not deserve to be killed, then this implies that he does make a distinction between the one He killed and other than him; rather he would commit this act whenever his evil calls him to that. Therefore, his bold attitude that led him to kill is as if he had killed all humankind. On the other hand, if a person saves a life and does not kill – whilst his soul calls him to do so – due to fear of Allaah, then this is as if he has saved the lives of all humankind because the fear of Allaah he possesses stops him killing one who does not deserve to be killed. [3]

Abdullah Bin Mas’ood [may Allaah be pleased with him] said that Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, “The first (thing) that will be decided among people on the Day of Judgment will pertain to bloodshed”. [Saheeh Muslim. Hadeeth Number 1678a]

Imaam An-Nawawi [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said, “This hadith shows the severeness of bloodshed and that it will be the first thing that will be judged between people on the Day of Resurrection because of its greatness and extreme danger. This hadith does not contradict the well-known hadith in the Sunan that “The first thing a person will be questioned about is the prayer”, because this hadeeth is about an affair between Allaah and the person, whereas the first hadeeth (i.e. judgement in matters related to bloodshed) is an affair between the people”. [Sharh Saheeh Muslim. Vol 11. page 139]

The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, “The termination of the world means less to Allah than the killing of a Muslim (i.e. without right)”. [Saheeh Al-Jaami 9208]

Amr Ibn Al-Hamiq [may Allaah be pleased with him] reported that Allaah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, “Whenever a man promises safety for another man’s life and then kills him, I disavow myself from him even if the victim was an unbeliever”. [Saheeh Al-Jaami 6103]

Uqbah Ibn Aamir [may Allaah be pleased with him] reported that Allaah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, “Whoever meets Allah whilst neither associating anything with Him nor spilling sacred blood will enter Paradise”. [Silsilah As-Saheehah 2923]

The people said to Jundub [may Allaah be pleased with him], “Advise us”. He said, “The first thing of the human body to putrefy is the abdomen, so he who can eat nothing but good food [halaal and earned lawfully] should do so, and he who does as much as he can that nothing intervenes between him and paradise by not shedding even a handful of blood [i.e. unlawful killing], should do so”. [Saheeh Al-Bukhaari 7152]

A man wrote to Ibn Umar [may Allaah be pleased with him and his father] and asked him to write down all knowledge for him; so he replied to him, saying, “Indeed, knowledge is plentiful, but if you are able to meet Allaah whilst not shedding people’s blood, not taking their wealth (unlawfully) and violating their honour, then do so”. [Siyar A’laam An-Nubulaa 3/222]

Finally: It must be noted that there are Jews who openly distance themselves from the deeds of Zionists. Quote: “….it is important to note that not all Jews are involved in these intrigues and the Jews as a population have, throughout history, been subject to the whims and desires of their religious and political leaders, and have been made to undergo much persecution as a result”.

One of the powerful supplications to remember whilst supplicating for our defenceless Palestinian brothers and sisters

Anas Bin Malik [may Allah be pleased with him] said, I was sitting with Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] and a man was offering prayer. He then made supplication:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ يَا حَىُّ يَا قَيُّومُ

“O Allah, I ask You by virtue of the fact that (all) praise is due to You, there is no deity worthy of worship, except You, The Beneficent Bestower of Bounties. The One such that all favors and blessings originate from Him. Al-Mannaan (The One Who granted them and favored the creation with them). (a) The Originator of the Heavens and the Earth, the Owner of Majesty and Honour. The Ever-Living Who always remains without any beginning or any end, with Perfect and Ever-Lasting Life, Who never dies nor passes away, The Self-Subsisting One upon Whom everything depends. The One Who sustains everything that exists. The One Who has no need whatsoever of anything but rather everything in existence has total need of Him”. (b) The Prophet then said, “He has supplicated Allah using His Greatest Name when supplicated by this name, He answers, and when asked by this name He gives”. [1]

[11.2] Abu Makkah’s Companion (Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq) Opens a Can of Worms

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Bid'ah (Innovation), Contemporary Issues, Deviated Callers & Individuals, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Refutations, Sin, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

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

Muhammad Abdur-Razzaaq stated:

Imaam Ahmad [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated in a letter to the Khaleefah Al-Mutawakkil [may Allah have mercy upon him], “Among other things, it is not permissible to seek the aid and assistance of Ahlul Bid’ah Wal-Ahwaa [the people of Bidah and vain desires] in anything regarding the affairs of the Muslims because that is of greater harm upon the religion”. [1]

We ask Muhammad: Is there anything that a supporter of bid’ah would accomplish that the Scholars of Sunnah of our time haven’t already done, whether through their speech, publications, refutations, or the clarifications of their upright students in the East and the West?! In addition to the fact that this person still upholds his bid’ah, does Islam need a proponent of bid’ah to defend anything on its behalf?! Is it not more important for a proponent of Bid’ah in the East or West to give up his Bid’ah than to refute the Kuffaar, which has been done for many years and is still being done by upright people of Sunnah?! Can Muhammad guarantee that applauding any proponent of Bidah will not garner him more esteem and make the people more inclined towards him, making him a greater trial and evil for the common people and those duped by him?!

Imam Ash-Shaatibee [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: “Indeed, showing reverence to a person of Bid’ah is the basis of two corruptions that lead to the destruction of Islam. One of them is that the ignorant and the common people will pay attention to that reverence, and believe that the Mubtadi is the best of people and that what he is doing is better than what others are doing, so this leads them to follow him in his Bida’ah and not follow Ahlus Sunnah in their adherence to Sunnah. The second affair is that if he is shown reverence due to his Bid’ah, this would become like the spur for him to initiate Bid’ah in everything. And whatever the case may be, Bida’ah will become alive and the Sunan dies, which is the destruction of Islam itself”. [2]

Finally, Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali [may Allah preserve him] stated: Being mindful of Ahlul Bid’ah, having hatred for them, boycotting and cutting them off is the correct path of protection of Ahlus Sunnah against falling into their Fitnah. Being lackadaisical about them, having a good suspicion of them, and inclining towards them is the beginning of the path of misguidance and deviation.

وَلَا تَرۡكَنُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ فَتَمَسَّكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ

And incline not toward those who do wrong, lest the fire should touch you.
Surah Hud. Ayah 113

Who is more unjust than Ahlul Bid’ah? Ahlul Bid’ah are more evil than the sinners and the disobedient, and for that reason, the Jusrist of Basra and the most intelligent of them Salaam Bin Abee Mutee [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “It is more beloved to me that I meet Allah with Hajjaaj’s scroll of (deeds in the Hereafter) than meet Him with Amr Bin Ubaid’s”. Amr Bin Ubaid was a Zaahid and a worshipper Maashaa-Allaah, but he was a Mubtadi and a misguided one, and Hajjaaj was an evil-doer, a shedder of blood, and a criminal. He [Salaam Bin Abee Mutee] held that if he were to make a choice between meeting Allah with Hajjaaj’s scroll and that of Amr Bin Ubaid, he would choose to meet Allah with Hajjaaj’s -the bloodshedder and oppressive evil doer. And why is this? Due to his realisation of the danger and ugliness of bid’ah. And it is enough for us that the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] described (bidah) in his khutbah as the worst of all affairs, as reported in the Hadeeth of Jaabir [may Allah be pleased with him]. [3]

Question to Muhammad: We are all aware that Zuhd and commitment to worship are virtues adored by the Ummah, and those who possess these outstanding traits are held in high regard; therefore, why did Salaam Bin Abee Mutee regard the Mubtadi’ah in such a way that a Zaahid and dedicated worshipper was not honoured in his eyes?! The answer is very clear for everyone to see.

[11.1] Abu Makkah’s Companion Opens a Can of Worms

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Contemporary Issues, Refutations, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

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

Muhammad Abdur-Razzaaq stated:

First, if what is intended in Muhammad’s statement is someone who has bidah, but he deserves an excuse based on what the upright people of knowledge – those who are well-acquainted with his affair – know about him in detail, as well as the fact that the clear proofs have not been established against him, then indeed, here is what is said about such a person: “Someone who was from Ahlus-Sunnah, well known for seeking the truth but he fell into a subtle bid‘ah. So if this person dies, then it is not permitted to make tabdī’ of him, rather he is mentioned with good. And if he is alive, he is advised and the truth is made clear to him, and one does not hasten to make tabdī’ of him, but if he persists [upon innovation], then he is declared an innovator. Shaikhul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah, died 728H) stated: “There are many from the Mujtahidīn (Scholars) of the Salaf and of later times who spoke with and acted upon innovation whilst not knowing it to be an innovation. This was either due to weak ahadīth that they thought were authentic, or Quranic Verses they understood in an incorrect manner, or due to an opinion one would hold in an issue because the texts had not reached him. So if a man fears his Lord to the best of his ability, he enters into the saying of Allāh: “Our Lord, do not take us to account if we are forgetful or mistaken.” And there occurs in a hadīth that Allāh stated [in response]: “I have done so.” And this matter has been explained in another place”. [1]

Second, if what is intended in Muhammad’s statement is one who is not known to be from Ahlus Sunnah as well as the fact that he is a caller to Bidah and he has no excuse, then indeed, the affair is even more serious.

Third, if what is intended is an ignorant person, then indeed, everyone knows that such a one should be reminded that some of the Scholars stated “Silence beautifies the Scholar and conceals the ignorance of the ignoramus”.

However, regardless of who this person may be, the first, the second, or the third, it is not allowed to mention the people of Bidah with praise. Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allaah preserve him] said: “It is not permissible to exalt and praise the proponents of Bidah even if they have some truth with them. That is because raising and praising them will spread their bidah and place them amongst the sincere ones who are taken as examples amongst distinguished men of this Ummah. The proponents of Bidah must be warned against and shunned even if they have some truth with them. Indeed, the most astray are not devoid of some truth, but as long as they have Bidah with them and sinful views, it is not permissible to praise and exalt them. It is impermissible not to have an objection against their Bidah because this spreads bidah, belittles the Sunnah and by way of this, the Mubtadi will emerge and become a guide for the Ummah. As for the consideration that the Mubtadi has some truth, this does not justify praising him. This -to a far greater extent- is against what is of overriding benefit, and it is known based on a principle in the religion that preventing harm takes precedence over seeking that which is of benefit. With regard to having hatred for the Mubtadi, the harm that is repelled from the Ummah is weightier than the benefit possessed by the Mubtadi. And had we adhered to this [praising an innovator because he has some truth with him], then no one would have been judged to be misguided and declared a Mubtadi because there is not a Mubtadi except that he has some truth and adherence to the Sunnah. The Mubtadi may neither be a disbeliever nor in opposition to all the Islamic legislation; rather he is either a Mubtadi in some or most of the affairs. (Footnote a) However, if the Bidah is particularly related to affairs of Creed and Methodology, then it is dangerous indeed because it will become an example (to be followed), Bidah will spread and the Mubtadi’ah will become active in spreading their Bidah. Therefore, this person who praises Mubtadi’ah and makes their affair obscure to the people -due to some truth they have – is one of two: either one ignorant of the methodology of the pious predecessors and their stance against the Mubtadi’ah, and it is neither permissible for this ignorant one to speak nor is it permissible for the Muslims to listen to him; or he is one who has an objection to the truth because he knows the danger of Bidah and the Mubtadi’ah, but he wishes to spread Bidah. Nevertheless, this is a dangerous affair and it is not permissible to be lackadaisical with regard to Bidah and its adherents whatever that may be. [2]

Finally, Muhammad has not made it known the specific individual intended in his statement so that the affair of such one is scrutinised based on what the upright Scholars or elder students of knowledge know about him in detail.

Abu Qilaabah said, “May Allaah fight the poet [an expression of amazement in Arabic] who said: Do not ask about a man, but ask about his companion. For every person guides himself by his companion. This poetry is by Adee bin Zaid, and al-Asma’ee said about it, “I have never seen a line of poetry which resembles the Sunnah more than this saying of Adee bin Zaid.” Al-Ibaanah (2/439)

Abu Hurairah – radiallaahu anhu – said, the Messenger of Allaah said, “A person is upon the deen of his friend, so let each one of you look at whom he befriends.” Saheeh. Refer to Silsilah as-Saheehah of al-Albaani (no.927)

Ibn Mas’ood – radiallaahu anhu – said, “Indeed a person walks alongside and accompanies the one whom he loves and who is like him.” Al-Ibaanah (2/476)

Abu ad-Dardaa – radiallaahu anhu – said, “It is from the fiqh (understanding of a person) that he [chooses] those whom he walks with, whom he enters upon (visits) and whom he sits with.” Al-Ibaanah (2/477)

Imaam Al-Awzaa’ee said, “Whoever hides his innovation from us will not be able to hide his companionship from us.” Al-Ibaanah (2/476)

Al-A’mash said, “They (the Salaf) did not used to ask anything more about a person after having asked about three affairs: Who he walks with, who he enters upon (i.e. visits) and who he associates with amongst the people.” Al-Ibaanah (2/478)

Abdullaah bin Mas’ood -radiallaahu anhu – said, “Make consideration of the (regions of the) Earth by the names given to them and make consideration of a person by his companion.” Al-Ibaanah (2/479)

Muhammad bin Ubaid al-Ghulaabee said, “The Ahl ul-Ahwaa (People of Desires) hide everything except their intimate friendship and companionship.” Al-Ibaanah (2/482)

Mu’aadh bin Mu’aadh said to Yahyaa bin Sa’eed, “O Abu Sa’eed! A person may hide his viewpoint from us, but he will not be able to hide that in his son, or his friend or in the one whom he sits with.” Al-Ibaanah (2/437)

Ibn Awn said, “Those who sit with the People of Innovation are more severe upon us than the People of Innovation themselves.” Al-Ibaanah (2/273). [3]

Al-Allaamah Ubaid Bin Abdillah Al-Jaabiri [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “If a person’s affair is hidden from you, the one whose books and cassettes are well-known and whose popularity is widespread, then ask those who are well acquainted with him and his situation. Neither the Sunnah nor its adherents are hidden, and a man’s Tazkiyah is his own deeds – his Tazkiyah is his own deeds that he is an adherent to the Sunnah. It is the witness, and people refer to him with it both during his life and after his death”. [4]

Footnote a: Bidah Al-Mukaffirah and Bidah Al-Mufassiqah:

Bidah Al-Mukaffirah: It is the Bidah that is tantamount to disbelief. Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali (may Allaah preserve him) was asked whether there is a difference between Bidah Al-Mukaffirah and Bidah Al-Mufassiqah; so Shaikh said that there is Bidah Mukaffirah, such as rejecting the Ruyah (i.e. denying that the believers will see Allaah in the afterlife); rejecting Allaah’s Uluww [i.e. denying that Allaah is above his creation –Allaah ascended over the Throne in a way that benefits his majesty)]; invoking other than Allaah; offering slaughtered sacrifice (i.e. animals) to other than Allaah etc. These are affairs of Bidah Al-Mukaffirah (the bidah that is tantamount to disbelief).

But we do not make Takfeer of the people who commit this type of Bidah until we establish the proof against them. That is because some of them (i.e. the people who fall into these affairs) carry doubts and are far away from the era of Prophethood and its light (i.e. guidance). So they fall into the likes of these innovations.

Rejecting the Ruyah is disbelief; rejecting Allaah’s Uluww is disbelief; the saying that the Qur’an is created is disbelief-major disbelief. But this person, -[who testifies that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allaah, and he prays, observes fasting, wants paradise and believes in that] -received the doubts of the people of falsehood, so he falls into the likes of these affairs (i.e. these innovations that are tantamount to disbelief). So we say to him: You have fallen into disbelief and the evidence is this and this, and we clarify for him. So if Allaah grants him Tawfeeq and he returns to the truth, then all praise is due to Allaah. But if not, we declare him a disbeliever after establishing the proofs against him.

As for Bidah Al-Mufassiqah it is other than this (i.e. it is not at the level of that which is tantamount to disbelief)…. www.rabee.net/ar/questions.php?cat=26&id=484 ]

The questioner asked Imaam Al-Albaani about migration and the issue of Palestine – [Part 3]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Contemporary Issues, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Pearls of Wisdom, Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

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

The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said: “Indeed, the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets, for the prophets do not leave behind a dinar or a dirham for inheritance, but rather, they leave behind knowledge. So whoever takes hold of it, has acquired a large share (i.e. of inheritance)”. [Sunan At-Tirmidhee 2682]

The Conversation Begins

Questioner: But is the issue of (jihad and intention) not required – at present – that all Muslims perform Jihad even in Palestine- inside Palestine?

The Shaikh: This question is also completely on my side. Who is performing jihad? O, my brother! You do not know your situation here. Do you not know that the Yahood at present made it forbidden by (their) law for Muslims to fight (on behalf of the Palestinians)?

Questioner: Yes, well known.

The Shaikh: Then why do you ignore the real state of affairs?

Questioner: I do not want to ignore (the real state of affairs).

The Shaikh: You say that it is not obligatory, but there is Jihad and intention. Now we must take a position: is Jihad to be performed based on the excitement of a person, (one with) neither with a state nor is he a ruler, nor is he a soldier, but rather an excited young man? Is this Jihad in the path of Allah? Allah [The Exalted] said:

و أعدّوا لهم ما استطعتم من قوة و من رباط الخيل ترهبون به عدو الله و عدوّكم

And make ready against them all you can of power, including steeds of war to threaten the enemy of Allah and your enemy. [Surah Al-Anfaal. Ayah 60]

This address, first of all, is to whom? We presented this research in several audio tapes. Is the statement “Make ready” an address to the believers? Where are the believers? Those who consume usury, turn their backs on one another, argue with each other, and engage in illegal partisanship – each party rejoicing with what they have?! We must look at the issue fundamentally, where do we start? Do we start with Jihaad? Who is performing the Jihaad?

Questioner: “Those who believed and migrated and strove (hard and fought in Allah’s Cause).

The Shaikh: Where are they?
Questioner: The first thing is Imaan, then migration.

The Shaikh: This is it, so we begin with Imaan. We begin with Imaan, may Allah bless you. Do not reflect on the conclusion, (which is) to strive (in Allah’s Cause). Jihaad begins when the souls are prepared for jihad for the sake of Allah. The Messenger [peace be upon him] said, “The Mujaahid is he who strives against his (vain) desires for the sake of Allah”. Are Muslims today striving against their (vain) desires – for the sake of Allah – whilst sinful behaviour is rife, immorality, women unveiling, dealing in usury, etc.? Therefore, we have two terms that must be fulfilled: Tasfiyah [purification of the beliefs, methodology, texts, etc] and Tarbiyah [nurture and educate ourselves upon this pure path]. Today’s Muslims do not understand Islam correctly, starting with knowing who Allah is. They do not know Allah in the manner He made Himself known in His Book (the Qur’an) and the hadith of His Prophet. They do not know their Prophet, that is, his rulings, his Sunnah, and so on. Therefore, we are very far from Jihaad, the (true) Jihad (to be performed) against the (hostile) unbelievers. And before I miss this (comment), do you think that the Yahood will be expelled by the people of Palestine, and we see – regarding the people of Palestine – every day that a group is slaughtered like lambs while the government forces are watching? It is not these (one who will defeat the oppressive Yahood), but when Muslims return to their religion and nurture themselves correctly- nurtured upon Imaan, and ready militarily because Allah says: “And make ready”. Who is this addressed to?

Questioner: The believers.

The Shaikh: It is addressed to the believers to “Make ready against them (i.e. the enemies) all you can of power”. Are we able – today- to make ready (against them weaponry) even if we are believers? (i.e. due to the fact that the Ummah needs to return to complete obedience to Allah and His Messenger first and foremost). [Footnote a]

Questioner: No.

The Shaikh: So, let us try to establish what we are able to do, and that is to be believers; believe in what is stated in the Qur’an and the Sunnah, and act according to what is stated in the Qur’an and the Sunnah based on our ability. I say on many occasions like this that many young people who are now excited have channeled their efforts toward Jihaad against their Muslim rulers. Those who are called Jamaa’ah At-Takfeer, for example, want to fight the Muslim rulers. My beloved brother, fight against yourself before everything else. You forget yourself and fight others?!

Questioner: Hizbut-Tahrir. [Footnote b]

The Shaikh: Hizb ut-Tahrir, Jamaa’ah At-takfeer Wal-Hijrah in Egypt, and so on. What I intend to say is that these people forget themselves and become preoccupied with their rulers, while the opposite (of what they abandon) is the correct thing. What did Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] first start with? He began by calling people to testify that “There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah”. Those who – at present – want to strive against the rulers have not started from where the Messenger [peace and blessings be upon him] started. Due to this, there is no benefit in researching, arguing, partisanship, and gathering if it is not what Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings be upon him] followed. And with regards to us, it has been a period of 15 centuries between us and the Messenger, so we must (adopt) Tasfiyah and Tarbiyah. At present if you ask a question we consider to be one that we have received from our Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] when he asked the slave girl: Where is Allah? Ask the Muslims today (i.e. many of the deviated sects), and they will tell you that Allah is everywhere, etc. [Footnote c]

Questioner: God forbid.

The Shaikh: You and I say, “God forbid”, and praise be to Allah that Allah has guided us, but those with whom you will perform Jihaad and fight alongside with will fight you because you say this statement, if only you knew! Therefore, may Allah bless you, migration is obligatory for everyone who is able, and this is a must for him. This is a Shariah ruling, (but) as for one who is not able, Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear.

Questioner: We make it brief, InShaaAllah. The man will tell you that the meaning of this (statement of yours) is that “We abandon the land of Palestine to the Yahood to wreak havoc and have fun in it as they please”.

The Shaikh: Is it better than we abandon ourselves to the Yahood like sheep (to be slaughtered)? O, my brother! May Allah bless you. One of the Islamic principles is that if a Muslim is faced with two evils, he chooses the lesser of them.

Questioner: May Allah bless you.

The Shaikh: This is the first affair, and secondly, it cannot be imagined that the statement of truth will be embraced by every Muslim, and If that were the case, you would not have found this delay (in education and cultivation, true Jihaad, etc)

و سبحانك اللهم و بحمدك أشهد ألا إله إلا أنت أستغفرك و أتوب إليك

To be continued…InShaaAllah

The next discussion between the Shaikh and the questioner is specifically about advice to the Muslims of Palestine.

The questioner asked Imaam Al-Albaani about migration and the issue of Palestine – [Part 2]

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

The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said: “Indeed, the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets, for the prophets do not leave behind a dinar or a dirham for inheritance, but rather, they leave behind knowledge. So whoever takes hold of it, has acquired a large share (i.e. of inheritance)”. [Sunan At-Tirmidhee 2682]

The Conversation Begins

Questioner: May Allah bless you. The issue of Palestine is a special issue and has some peculiarities. It is possible to use as evidence the hadith found in the book Al-Taaj Al-Jaami Lil-Usul, which is narrated by Abdullah Bin Amr [may Allah be pleased with him and his father] on the authority of the Prophet [peace and blessings be upon him], who said, “There will be migration after migration and the people who are best will be those who cleave most closely to places which Ibraaheem migrated. The worst of its people will remain in the earth cast out by their lands, abhorred by Allah, gathered along with apes and swine by fire”. This hadith was narrated by Abu Dawud with a valid chain of transmission. I do not know how authentic this hadith is? [a]

The Shaikh: Okay.

Questioner: This is a point. The point now is that whenever we think of or observe the people of Palestine, (it is) the conflict with the Yahood, and you know best, may Allah bless you, about the Yahood, their impurity (i.e. evil deeds), and their hatred against Islam and Muslims.

The Shaikh: O my brother! This is the type of speech that we do not want because this is all well-known. We will see what the problem is.

Questioner: The problem is when you told the man that it is obligatory to exit and go to an Islamic country, never mind leaving a place of migration to an Islamic country!

The Shaikh: Do not say “Khurooj (exit)”.

Questioner: Al-Hijrah (Migration).

The Shaikh: Yes

Questioner: Migration from the land of Palestine, from the land of war?

The Shaikh: Yes.

Questioner: How do we reconcile this statement (of yours) with the hadith of the Messenger [peace and blessings be upon him] “You will fight the Yahood, while you are in the outskirts of Bayt al-Maqdis”, the hadith that you know?

The Shaikh: Oh yes.

Questioner: So, let us know, may Allah bless you.

The Shaikh: Others besides you utter this Shubhah (i.e. ambiguity, or an affair that contains some truth but mixed with untruth or doubt). Is (Baytul Maqdis) better than Al-Masjid Al-Haraam (the Sacred Mosque at Makkah)?

Questioner: No.

The Shaikh: Good, is Baytul Maqdis better than Makkah?

Questioner: No.

The Shaikh: Good, which of the two migrations is more dangerous- the migration of the Messenger from Makkah (to Madinah) or this migration that we are proposing?

Questioner: The migration of the Messenger (was more dangerous).

The Shaikh: Therefore, this (migration we are proposing) is all the more (required), so why do you over-emphasise and begin your speech based on that hadith about the migration of Ibraaheem [peace be upon him]? First, the Ibraaheem’s migration was not to Baytul Maqdis, but rather the entire Shaam, isn’t it?

Questioner: Yes

The Shaikh: Good, so if the Messenger[peace be upon him] established for the Muslims- by way of his Sunnah – to migrate from a land where they are persecuted, due to his migration from the (land of) the Sacred Masjid; and firstly, as I mentioned, that they migrated to Abyssinia, which was a land of disbelief; Subhaanallaah! When it is the case that the Messenger established this Sunnah for his persecuted companions to migrate from Makkah to the land of disbelief – to Abyssinia, to that (ruler) the Negus; then why do you find it strange that you – a Muslim who believes in Allah and His Messenger, and is keen to follow the Messenger [peace be upon him]- to advice his Muslim brothers based on what is within his ability to do so? Enough of throwing the souls to destruction, and shedding the blood of Muslims in vain. (It is said) in the colloquial proverbs in some Arab countries, “An eye cannot resist a prick”.

Islamic countries that have power, weapons, planes, and tanks are watching (i.e. due to inability), and the Palestinians are the ones facing the tanks and the planes and so on. You think that they will expel the Yahood (i.e. from their occupied land), and (expelled) based on the statement (claim) of that impostor who was swallowed up and was announcing that he would throw the Yahood into the sea; you think that our Palestinian brothers, those who are persecuted by the Yahood, the worst of persecution, will be able to throw the Yahood in the sea? [b]

Questioner: Of course not.

The Shaikh: So, may God bless you. These people are more obligated to migrate than others because they are killed by the dozens every day, compared to one Yahoodi they kill every month. [c] This migration that you found strange, the exact opposite is correct. When it is the case that the Messenger first permitted the weak and persecuted people in Makkah to migrate to Abyssinia, the land of the Christians at that time, we say today, “Do not migrate to the land of the Christians, but rather migrate to the land of Islam (Muslim countries)”. This is the first affair. Secondly, when Allah gave him permission to migrate from Makkah to Madina, Allah’s Messenger [may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] stood on which mountain? Qubays?

Questioner: Mountain Abu Qubays.

The Shaikh: Yes, Abu Qubays. Then he turned to Makkah and said, “As for you, you are the most beloved land among Allah’s lands to me, and if it were not that your people expelled me from you, I would not have left.” So, this is Allah’s Messenger, whose heart is attached to Masjid Al-Haraam, which he made a place of (security and safety) for the people.

Questioner: “A place of resort for mankind and a place of safety”. [d]

The Shaikh: Oh yes, “A place of resort for mankind and a place of safety”. So, he was forced to migrate – first by himself – to be saved, and then his brothers who joined him. If he migrated from Allah’s best land, then why does one not migrate from Allah’s third best land, which is Baytul Maqdis? Muslims are persecuted, especially since they are tortured every day. Then you find what is called Arafat’s affiliate; what is the name of the organization?

Questioner: PLO

The Shaikh: The PLO is in the hundreds and thousands, and they may have money, weapons, etc., and they are watching?

Questioner: The PLO is well-known to be (like) the rubbish carried down by a torrent. [e]

The Shaikh: Good, this is what it is.

To be continued…InShaaAllah

The next discussion between the Shaikh and the questioner is specifically about Jihaad.

[a] Sunan Abu Dawud 2482

[b] This only applies to combatants who wage war against the Palestinians with weapons if the Palestinians and the Ummah had the ability to fight the occupiers and their allies. However, one must clearly bear in mind that during a declared war between two nations, non-combatants are not killed or oppressed, including women, children, monks, etc Read: https://abukhadeejah.com/salafi-shaikh-fawzaan-on-jihaad-in-our-times-and-the-guidelines-of-jihaad-according-to-islam/

[c] Imaam Al-Albaani [may Allah have mercy upon him] was asked about this behavior of some people in Palestine, whose recklessness – in the name of so-called Jihaad – brings greater harm to the Muslims, so replied: “If your circumstances carry on in this manner, imagine, what will be the outcome? What will the Muslims be seeing and witnessing?! What will the Palestinians be massacred for? What will be the outcome (when) a Yahoodi is killed and in return tenfold of Palestinians are killed, thousands put in prison? Would this be a victory against the Yahood? This is not the (right) path, (which) actually the Muslims have – at present – wrongly identified as the (correct) way of Jihad”. [Silsilah Al-Hudaa Wan-Noor 317]

[d] Surah Al-Baqarah. Ayah 125

[e] Thawban [may Allah be pleased with him] reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The people will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their dish”. Someone asked, “Will that be because of our small numbers at that time?” He replied, “No, you will be numerous at that time, but you will be scum and rubbish like that carried down by a torrent, and Allah will take the fear of you from the hearts of your enemy and place weakness into your hearts”. Someone asked, “O Allah’s Messenger! What is wahn (weakness)?” He replied, “Love of the world and dislike of death”. [Saheeh Sunan Abee Dawud 4297]

Finally, bear in mind that Muslim rulers are allowed to sign peace treaties if they see the need to do so. Read: https://abukhadeejah.com/treaties-with-the-non-muslims-do-they-necessitate-allegiance/

The questioner asked Imaam Al-Albaani about migration and the issue of Palestine – [Part 1]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Contemporary Issues, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Pearls of Wisdom, Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

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

The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said: “Indeed, the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets, for the prophets do not leave behind a dinar or a dirham for inheritance, but rather, they leave behind knowledge. So whoever takes hold of it, has acquired a large share (i.e. of inheritance)”. [Sunan At-Tirmidhee 2682]

The Conversation Begins

Questioner: Our Shaikh, five minutes ago, I presented an important question and there is something precarious in it.

The Shaikh: Tayyib, InShaa’Allah

Questioner: Good, InShaa’Allah. You spoke at the beginning of the session about the issue of Hijrah [migration], and this issue is really very dangerous.

The Shaikh: Good, InShaa’Allah.

Questioner: I listened to – audio cassette number 527 – a conversation that took place between a student of knowledge and you about the issue of the people of Palestine.

The Shaikh: Yes.

Questioner: He asked about the ruling on migration from Palestine. He asked a question about the issue of the migration of the people of Palestine from Palestine to another place. I listened to the tape for three days until this moment, and I am repeating the tape until I understand what our Shaikh, Ustaadh Naasir, is saying.

The Shaikh: May Allah bless you.

Questioner: May Allah bless you, so that we do no wrong to the Shaikh.

The Shaikh: May Allah reward you with good.

Questioner: With regards to what may have been referred to or referred to by some claimants to knowledge…

The Shaikh: Yes.

Questioner: And Abu Ahmad knows

The Shaikh: Yes.

Questioner: What I want to say is that the place of migration is obligatory for all Muslims to cooperate in establishing and setting it up so that we migrate from the land of disbelief and from the land of war to the land of migration, and we agree with the Shaikh on this issue.

The Shaikh: All right, but now you say that a place of migration does not exist?

Questioner: I say now that a place for migration does not exist.

The Shaikh: Strange (i.e. this statement is strange).

Questioner: You spoke to that man and told him that which grieved him that ten years ago Saudi Arabia did not hang pictures, but now you find pictures there, and so on. It is as if I understood from your conversation that Saudi Arabia is a place of migration and is fit to be a place of migration.

The Shaikh: How do you understand that the land you are in is a place of migration?

Questioner: I do not understand this. I want to get to what the nature of the place of migration is, and we know from the biography of the Messenger [peace and blessings be upon him] that before he migrated to Madina, or before it was revealed to him to migrate to Madina, he looked for a place of migration – at first – by sending some of the Companions to Abyssinia.

The Shaikh: Yes

Questioner: And the Companions returned from Abyssinia, and obviously, he asked them about the circumstances of Abyssinia. The Messenger [peace and blessings be upon him] did not consider the land of Abyssinia to be suitable for migration. Then he sent a delegation to Hadramaut and asked the delegations that were coming to him [peace and blessings be upon him] about Hadhramaut in Yemen, and he found that Yemen also is not suitable for migration.

The Shaikh: Sorry, this (the above statement of yours) is not a question. May Allah bless you. I said five minutes. You will take the five minutes at your expense!

Questioner: …at the beginning of your session.

The Shaikh: All righty, may Allah bless you. I draw your attention to the fact that when we spoke about migration, where did we say that Libyans and others like them should migrate to? A land where one should not migrate to? Is that how you understand?

Question: (Migration) to the land of the Muslims.

The Shaikh: Good, so how do you say that there is no place for migration?

Questioner: I want to get to the (point regarding) what the characteristics of the place of migration is.

The Shaikh: Brother, ask instead of giving a lecture.

Questioner: I am not lecturing.

The Shaikh: No, allow me, my brother, may Allah bless you. When someone asks a question, he is brief and does not go into detail. Abyssinia and what is Abyssinia; this is how a question should be. You first say that there is no place for migration, and who told you that there should be a place for immigration similar to that of the Messenger [peace be upon him]? Is there a Prophet after Allah’s Messenger [i.e. Muhammad]?

Questioner: No.

The Shaikh: Then why do you speak about the existence of a place for immigration when you believe just as I do, as I said earlier, that there is a land of Islam, for this is enough for us to establish the proof against the unbelievers who convert to Islam in their countries of disbelief that they should migrate to an Islamic country. We also establish the proof that Muslims who were persecuted in Islamic countries in the past should migrate to Islamic countries where there is no persecution. So why did you change the subject matter to say that there is no place for migration, and who among the Muslim scholars, a successor, let alone a predecessor, has said that there must be a place for migration (i.e. similar to that of the Messenger)? This is a mistake in the presentation of the question. I want to understand what is the outcome of your reading for three days, as I said in those audio tapes I did not mention that there should be a place for migration and that a Muslim cannot say that there should be a place for migration because this emigration (of the Messenger from Makkah to Madina) will not be repeated. Due to this, it is reported in the hadith “There is no migration after the conquest”, meaning that there is no other city of the Prophet until the Hour (i.e. Day of Judgement) takes place. However, the reality is as the poet said, even on a different occasion, “So, imitate them even if you are not like them. Indeed, imitating in nobility is success”. We want to find an Islamic country that is as close as possible to establishing Islam. We do not direct our hopes towards finding a caliph similar to the era of the caliphs, and not even resembling the fifth Caliph, and that is Umar Bin Abdul Aziz [may Allah be pleased with all of them], but we want a ruler who rules by what Allah has revealed- making his goal to rule by what Allah has revealed. Regardless that he makes a mistake, or deviates a little or a lot (unless one witnesses clear disbelief), [Footnote a] there are many Islamic countries, and praise be to Allah. The affair -and praise be to Allah – has not ceased and it will remain like this. We do not see blatant disbelief, rather, this was found in some of those countries, so we commanded the persecuted Muslim youth to flee and migrate to a country in which there has not ceased to be much good from the country whose leader announced disbelief. I said this earlier, so may Allah bless you. Present to us what the problem is for you regarding the audio tape without the term Darul Hijrah (a place of migration).

Questioner: I retract it.

The Shaikh: May Allah reward you.

Questioner: Because I am not one seeking to be argumentative, (rather), I want to learn.

The Shaikh: That is what I think of you.

Questioner: InshaaAllah, may Allah bless you.

The Shaikh: Please go ahead.

To be continued…InShaaAllah

The next discussion between the Shaikh and the questioner is specifically about Palestine

السائل : شيخنا قبل الخمس دقائق ، أنا جاي على سؤال مهم و فيه شيء من الخطورة ؟
الشيخ : خير إن شاء الله .
السائل : خير إن شاء الله ، لقد تكلمت في بداية الجلسة عن قضية الهجرة و هذا الموضوع حقيقة خطير جدا .
الشيخ : خير إن شاء الله .
السائل : إن شاء الله تعالى ، لقد استمعت للشريط رقم خمسائة وسبعة وعشرين في حديث دار بين طالب علم و بينك عن قضية أهل فلسطين .
الشيخ : نعم .
السائل : و سأل عن حكم الهجرة من فلسطين … و لقد طرح سؤالا عن قضية هجرة أهل فلسطين من فلسطين إلى دار الهجرة و سمعت الشريط لمدة ثلاثة أيام حتى هذه اللحظة و أنا أكرر الشريط حتى أفهم ما يقول شيخنا الأستاذ ناصر .
الشيخ : بارك الله فيك .
السائل : بارك الله فيه ، حتى لا نظلم الشيخ .
الشيخ : جزاك الله خيرا .
السائل : فيما قد ينسب إليه أو فيما قد نسب إليه من بعض أدعياء العلم !
الشيخ : نعم .
السائل : و أبو أحمد يعلم .
الشيخ : نعم .
السائل : الذي أريد أن أقوله أن دار الهجرة يجب على كل المسلمين أن يتعاونوا على إقامتها و على إنشائها حتى نهاجر من دار الكفر و من دار الحرب إلى دار الهجرة و نحن نتفق مع الشيخ في هذه المسألة … .
الشيخ : معليش لكن أنت الآن تقول دار الهجرة غير موجودة ؟
السائل : أقول الآن دار الهجرة غير موجودة .
الشيخ : عجيب .
السائل : و قد تكلمت إلى ذلك الرجل و قلت له مما يؤسف له أن السعودية كانت قبل عشر سنوات لا تعلق صورا و الآن تجد فيها الصور و كذا كأني قد فهمت من حديثك أن السعودية هي دار هجرة و تصلح بأن تكون دار هجرة !
الشيخ : و ما فهمت أن الدّار التي أنت فيها دار هجرة ؟
السائل : لم أفهم هذا ، أنا أريد أن أصل إلى ما هي صفة دار الهجرة و نحن نعلم ن سيرة الرسول عليه الصلاة و السلام أنه قبل أن يهاجر إلى المدينة أو قبل أن يوحى إليه بالهجرة إلى المدينة بحث عن دار الهجرة بداية بعث بعض الصحابة إلى الحبشة .
الشيخ : نعم .
السائل : و رجع الصحابة من الحبشة و طبعا سألهم عن أوضاع الحبشة و لم يستصلح الرسول عليه الصلاة و السلام أرض الحبشة بأن تكون دارا للهجرة ، ثم بعث بعثا إلى حضرموت و سأل الوفود التي كانت تقدم عليه عليه الصلاة و السلام عن حضرموت في اليمن فوجد أن اليمن لا تصلح دار هجرة أيضا
الشيخ : عفوا هذا ليس سؤالا بارك الله فيك أنا قلت خمس دقائق ، أنت راح تأخذ الخمس دقائق على حسابك !
السائل : … في بداية جلستك .
الشيخ : معليش بارك الله فيك أنا ألفت نظرك أنه لما تكلمنا عن الهجرة إلى أين قلنا يهاجروا الليبيين و أمثالهم ؟ إلى دار لا هجرة ؟ هكذا فهمت ؟
السائل : إلى ديار المسلمين .
الشيخ : طيب ، فإذن كيف تقول إنه ليس هناك دار هجرة .
السائل : أنا أريد أن أصل إلى ما هي صفات دار الهجرة ؟
الشيخ : يا أخي اسأل بدل ما تعمل محاضرة اسأل … .
السائل : أنا ما أعمل محاضرة … .
الشيخ : لا ، اسمح لي يا أخي بارك الله فيك ، واحد لما يسأل سؤالا يختصر مو يتعرض للتفاصيل ، الحبشة و ما الحبشة مو هكذا يكون السؤال أنت بالأول تقول ليس هناك دار هجرة ، طيب من قال لك أنه يجب أن يكون هناك دار هجرة مثل دار الرسول عليه السلام ؟ هل هناك نبي بعد رسول الله ؟
السائل : لا .
الشيخ : فإذن لماذا تدير الكلام على وجود دار الهجرة و أنت تؤمن معي كما قلت آنفا أن هناك دار إسلام فهذا يكفي لنقيم الحجة على الكفار الذين يسلمون في بلاد كفرهم أن يهاجروا إلى بلد إسلامي كذلك نقيم الحجة على المضطهدين من المسلمين في البلاد الإسلامية قديما أن يهاجروا إلى بلاد الإسلام التي لا اضطهاد فيها فلماذا أدرت الموضع إلى أنه لا يوجد هناك دار هجرة و من الذي يقول من علماء المسلمين خلفا فضلا عن سلف أنه يجب أن يكون هناك دار هجرة ؟ لا هذا خطأ في طرح السؤال فأنا أريد أن أفهم ما هي حصيلة قرائتك في ثلاثة أيام كما قلت لتلك الأشرطة أنا ما ذكرت أنه يجب أن يكون هناك دار هجرة و لا يمكن لمسلم أن يقول أنه يجب أن يكون هناك دار هجرة لأن هذه الهجرة لن تتكرر و لذلك جاء في الحديث ( لا هجرة بعد الفتح ) أي ما فيه مدينة نبوية أخرى إلى أن تقوم الساعة لكن الحقيقة كما قال الشاعر و لو في غير هذه المناسبة ” فتشبهوا إن لم تكونوا مثلهم *** إن التشبه بالكرم فلاح ” فنحن نريد أن نوجد بلدا إسلاميا أقرب ما يكون إلى تحقيق الإسلام نحن لا نطمع أن نجد خليفة يشبه عهد الخلفاء الراشدين بل يشبه الخليفة الخامس و هو عمر بن عبد العزيز رضي الله عنهم أجمعين لكن نريد حاكما يحكم بما أنزل الله يجعل هدفه الحكم بما أنزل الله أما أنه أخطأ ، أما أنه انحرف قليلا أو كثيرا ( ما لم تروا كفرا بواحا ) فهناك بلاد إسلامية كثيرة و الحمد لله لا نزال و الحمد لله سيبقى الأمر كذلك لا نرى كفرا بواحا و إنما وجد هذا في بعض تلك البلاد فنأمر الشباب المسلم المضطهد أن يفر بدينه و أن يهاجر بدينه من البلد الذي أعلن الكفر رأسه إلى بلد لا يزال و الحمد لله فيه خير كثير و أنا قلت هذا الكلام آنفا فإذن بارك الله فيك أعطنا ما هي المشكلة التي عرضت لك بالنسبة للشريط ؟ بلاش كلمة دار هجرة … .
السائل : أسحبها .
الشيخ : جزاك الله خيرا .
السائل : لأنني أنا لست جدليا ، أنا أريد أن أتعلم .
الشيخ : ذلك هو الظّن بك .
السائل : إن شاء الله ، بارك الله فيك .
الشيخ : تفضل
