[28] Notification to Ahlul Bidah and The Mumayyi’ah: These Clarifications Are Coming Back!

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

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

Ahlul Bidah Among The Jinn

Allah, The Most High, said that the Jinn said about themselves:

وَأَنَّا مِنَّا ٱلصَّـٰلِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَٲلِكَ‌ۖ كُنَّا طَرَآٮِٕقَ قِدَدً۬ا

There are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary; we are groups each having a different way. [Al-Jinn. 11]

Mujaahid, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

They mean: (Some of us are) Muslims and (some) Disbelievers.”

Al-Hasan and As-Sadee said, may Allah have mercy upon them, said:

Like yourselves [i.e. humans]; amongst them [i.e. the Jinn] are Qadariyyah, Murji’ah and Raafidah.”

Ibn Kaysaan, may Allah have mercy upon him said:

[They are] parties and sects.
