We do not judge anyone, but rather Allah is the only one who can judge!

Allah [The Exalted] said:

وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍ يَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَيُطِيعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥٓ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

The believers, men and women, are Auliya’ (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another, they enjoin (on the people) Al-Ma’ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do), and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. polytheism and disbelief of all kinds, and all that Islam has forbidden); they perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give the Zakat, and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah will have His Mercy on them. Surely Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. [Surah At-Tawbah. Ayah 71]

 

We do not judge anyone, but rather Allah is the only one who can judge!

This above statement has become quite popular on the lips of many people, especially some of the youth, when mistakes are pointed out and rebutted based on the infallible principles of the Shariah, so you hear them say, “We do not judge anyone, but rather Allah is the only one who can judge.” Indeed, this is either an oversight or a misinterpretation, because the utterers of this remark cannot argue that they will never seek justice through the decision of an arbitrator when their rights are violated.

Second, this claim of theirs goes against the guidance of the Prophet’s companions. Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab [may Allaah be pleased with him] said: “People were (sometimes) judged by the revealing of a Divine revelation during the lifetime of Allah’s Messenger but now there is no longer any more (new revelation). Now we judge you by the deeds you practice publicly, so we will trust and favour the one who does good deeds in front of us, and we will not call him to account about what he is really doing in secret, because Allah will judge him for that; but we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us an evil deed even if he claims that his intentions were good”. (1)

Imaam Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said: “Whoever manifests good, it will be accepted from him and a good suspicion is held about him. And if he manifests evil, it will be held against him and an evil suspicion is held about him”. (2)

Thirdly, this statement of theirs necessitates that they will never stand to give truthful witness because in their view only Allah can judge. Rather, Allah commanded us to give truthful witness.

يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّٲمِينَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ شُہَدَآءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَوِ ٱلۡوَٲلِدَيۡنِ وَٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَ‌ۚ إِن يَكُنۡ غَنِيًّا أَوۡ فَقِيرً۬ا فَٱللَّهُ أَوۡلَىٰ بِہِمَا‌ۖ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ أَن تَعۡدِلُواْ‌ۚ وَإِن تَلۡوُ ۥۤاْ أَوۡ تُعۡرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرً۬ا

O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah; even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allah is a Better Protector to both (than you). So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do. [Surah An-Nisaa. Ayah 135]

 

I am free! 

Imaam Muhammad Bin Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen [may Allah have mercy upon him] was asked about the statement of a person who says, “I am free”.

Answer: If a free person says this and means freedom from slavery to the creation, then yes, they are free from servitude to the creation. However, if he means that he is free from servitude to Allaah [The Mighty and Majestic], he has erred in his definition of servitude and does not understand the meaning of freedom. This is because servitude to anybody other than Allah is considered bondage. In terms of obedience to Allah [The Mighty and Majestic], this is true freedom because if a person does not humble himself to Allah, he would humble himself to someone else. So he deceives himself when he claims to be free, free from obedience to Allah. (3)

 

Do not interfere!

Imaam Muhammad Bin Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen [may Allah have mercy upon him] was asked: “When a Muslim expresses disapproval of evil (done by) another person, the person responds by saying, ‘You are intrusive’ or ‘Do not interfere in that which does not concern you.’ Is this speech appropriate in this situation and what should be said in response to (this person)?”

Response:

This speech of his is wrong. To say to someone who opposes his wrongdoing, ”You are intrusive” or ”This is not your problem”. This is incorrect since Allah (The Most High) commanded us to forbid evil and encourage virtue. It is our obligation to enjoin good and forbid evil to the best of our ability, whether the person who is commanded or forbidden likes it or not. And he (the one who rejects evil) should respond to him by saying, ”Indeed, this concerns me since Allah has commanded me to enjoin good and forbid evil, and that is because the believer to another believer is like a sturdy building, with one portion supporting the other. So what concerns a Muslim (with regards to doing good and keeping away from evil) is also a concern of his brother (in this case). (4)

 

Three Types of Friends – By Imaam Muhammad Ibn Salih Al-Uthaymeen [may Allah have mercy upon him]

The freeloader: Befriends you as long as he benefits from you, either by way of wealth or status, or other than that. If this benefit ceases, he becomes an enemy of yours, considers you as someone unknown to him, and vice versa. Numerous are those who defame (others when they spend in) charity! When given from it, they are pleased, but if not given they are angered. You see a bosom friend of yours- the noblest in your eyes and vice versa- asks you one day, saying, “Give me your book”, so, you say, “I’m in need of it today and will give it to you tomorrow”, so, he shows you enmity. This is a freeloader friend.

The friend of pleasure-seeking: Does not befriend you, except due (to the fact) that he enjoys sitting and speaking to you, and for the sake of chatting and socialising, however, neither does he benefit you nor does he benefit from you. Neither party benefit from the other, rather you only waste time. This is also a type of friend to beware of.

The friend of virtue: Directs you to what beautifies (your character etc), forbids you from what dishonours you, opens doors of good for you, and guides you to it. And if you make a mistake, he informs you in a manner that does not blemish your honour.

Freeloader friends are more numerous because the means of benefiting (others) are many, therefore, if you see that this man has not befriended you except due to receiving (worldly) benefit from you, then know that he is an enemy and not a friend. A friend of pleasure-seeking busies and distracts you with enjoyment through chatting, time-wasting in the amusement parks, and other than that. There is no good in this type of person; rather the one who should firmly cling to is the friend of virtue -the one who directs you towards every virtuous deed and forbids you from every evil. (5)

Allah [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). [Surah Al-Baqarah. Ayah 42]

Allah [The Exalted] said:

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَآ أَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ وَٱلْهُدَىٰ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا بَيَّنَّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ فِى ٱلْكِتَٰبِ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يَلْعَنُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَيَلْعَنُهُمُ ٱللَّٰعِنُونَ
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ تَابُوا۟ وَأَصْلَحُوا۟ وَبَيَّنُوا۟ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَنَا ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people in the Scripture – those are cursed by Allah and cursed by those who curse; except those who repent and do righteous deeds, and openly declare (the truth which they concealed). These, I will accept their repentance. And I am the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful. [Surah Al-Baqarah. Ayaat 159-160]

Allah [The Exalted] said:

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَيَشْتَرُونَ بِهِۦ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ فِى بُطُونِهِمْ إِلَّا ٱلنَّارَ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Indeed, they (from the leaders and scholars of the Jews) who conceal what Allāh has sent down (to them) of the Book (which mentioned the description of the Prophet to come and other truths) and exchange it for a small price (of worldly gains and pleasures)—those ones do not consume into their bellies except the Fire. And Allāh will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. And they will have a painful punishment. https://www.thenoblequran.com/q/#/verse/2/174

Allah [The Exalted] said:

وَإِذْ أَخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِيثَٰقَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُۥ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَكْتُمُونَهُۥ فَنَبَذُوهُ وَرَآءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ وَٱشْتَرَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا فَبِئْسَ مَا يَشْتَرُونَ

(And remember) when Allah took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) to make it (the news of the coming of Prophet Muhammad SAW and the religious knowledge) known and clear to mankind, and not to hide it, but they threw it away behind their backs, and purchased with it some miserable gain! And indeed worst is that which they bought. [Surah Al-Imran. Ayah 187]

Pope Frances stated: “Being homosexual is not a crime. It’s not a crime. Yes, but it’s a sin. Well, yes, but let’s make the distinction first between sin and crime”. [End of quote]

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated: “In addition to attempting to deceive Allah and His Messenger, changing the names and images of things that are prohibited while their true purposes and realities remain increases the corruption for which they were prohibited, and (it is tantamount to) attributing plotting, deceit, fraud, and hypocrisy to Allah’s Shari’ah and the religion He has ordained”. [Ighaatha Al-Lahfaan 1/505]

In the English language, the word “crime” is defined as “an illegal action or activity for which a person can be punished by law” and the word “sin” is defined as “the offence of breaking, or the breaking of, a religious or moral law”. Based on this English definition of sin and crime, was the Pope speaking of secular (fallible man-made law) or infallible divine law? If he was referring to secular law, we would like to remind him that every Prophet—including the Messiah—did not judge in accordance with secular law; instead, they did so in accordance with infallible divine law. Allah [The Exalted said:

إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَا ٱلتَّوۡرَٮٰةَ فِيہَا هُدً۬ى وَنُورٌ۬‌ۚ يَحۡكُمُ بِہَا ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسۡلَمُواْ لِلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَٱلرَّبَّـٰنِيُّونَ وَٱلۡأَحۡبَارُ بِمَا ٱسۡتُحۡفِظُواْ مِن كِتَـٰبِ ٱللَّهِ وَڪَانُواْ عَلَيۡهِ شُہَدَآءَ‌ۚ فَلَا تَخۡشَوُاْ ٱلنَّاسَ وَٱخۡشَوۡنِ وَلَا تَشۡتَرُواْ بِـَٔايَـٰتِى ثَمَنً۬ا قَلِيلاً۬‌ۚ وَمَن لَّمۡ يَحۡكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ

وَقَفَّيۡنَا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِم بِعِيسَى ٱبۡنِ مَرۡيَمَ مُصَدِّقً۬ا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلتَّوۡرَٮٰةِ‌ۖ وَءَاتَيۡنَـٰهُ ٱلۡإِنجِيلَ فِيهِ هُدً۬ى وَنُورٌ۬ وَمُصَدِّقً۬ا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلتَّوۡرَٮٰةِ وَهُدً۬ى وَمَوۡعِظَةً۬ لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ

وَأَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ مُصَدِّقً۬ا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلۡڪِتَـٰبِ وَمُهَيۡمِنًا عَلَيۡهِ‌ۖ فَٱحۡڪُم بَيۡنَهُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ‌ۖ وَلَا تَتَّبِعۡ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ عَمَّا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ‌ۚ لِكُلٍّ۬ جَعَلۡنَا مِنكُمۡ شِرۡعَةً۬ وَمِنۡهَاجً۬ا‌ۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَڪُمۡ أُمَّةً۬ وَٲحِدَةً۬ وَلَـٰكِن لِّيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ فِى مَآ ءَاتَٮٰكُمۡ‌ۖ فَٱسۡتَبِقُواْ ٱلۡخَيۡرَٲتِ‌ۚ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَرۡجِعُڪُمۡ جَمِيعً۬ا فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ فِيهِ تَخۡتَلِفُونَ
وَأَنِ ٱحۡكُم بَيۡنَہُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعۡ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ وَٱحۡذَرۡهُمۡ أَن يَفۡتِنُوكَ عَنۢ بَعۡضِ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيۡكَ‌ۖ فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَٱعۡلَمۡ أَنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُصِيبَہُم بِبَعۡضِ ذُنُوبِہِمۡ‌ۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرً۬ا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَفَـٰسِقُونَ
أَفَحُكۡمَ ٱلۡجَـٰهِلِيَّةِ يَبۡغُونَ‌ۚ وَمَنۡ أَحۡسَنُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ حُكۡمً۬ا لِّقَوۡمٍ۬ يُوقِنُونَ

Verily, We did send down the Taurat (Torah) [to Musa (Moses)], therein was guidance and light, by which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to Allah’s Will, judged the Jews. And the rabbis and the priests [too judged the Jews by the Taurat (Torah) after those Prophets] for to them was entrusted the protection of Allah’s Book, and they were witnesses thereto. Therefore fear not men but fear Me (O Jews) and sell not My Verses for a miserable price. And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the Kafirun (i.e. disbelievers – of a lesser degree as they do not act on Allah’s Laws).

And We ordained therein for them: “Life for life, eye for an eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal.” But if anyone remits the retaliation by way of charity, it shall be for him an expiation. And whosoever does not judge by that which Allah has revealed, such are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers – of a lesser degree).

And in their footsteps, We sent ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), confirming the Taurat (Torah) that had come before him, and We gave him the Injeel (Gospel), in which was guidance and light and confirmation of the Taurat (Torah) that had come before it, a guidance and an admonition for Al-Muttaqun (the pious).

Let the people of the Injeel (Gospel) judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed (then) such (people) are the Fasiqun (the rebellious i.e. disobedient (of a lesser degree) to Allah.

And We have sent down to you (O Muhammad) the Book (this Qur’an) in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and Mohayminan (trustworthy in highness and a witness) over it (old Scriptures). So judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging away from the truth that has come to you. To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way. If Allah willed, He would have made you one nation, but that (He) may test you in what He has given you; so strive as in a race in good deeds. The return of you (all) is to Allah; then He will inform you about that in which you used to differ.

And so judge (you O Muhammad ) between them by what Allah has revealed and follow not their vain desires, but beware of them lest they turn you (O Muhammad ) far away from some of that which Allah has sent down to you. And if they turn away, then know that Allah’s Will is to punish them for some sins of theirs. And truly, most of men are Fasiqun (rebellious and disobedient to Allah).

Do they then seek the judgement of (the Days of) Ignorance? And who is better in judgement than Allah for a people who have firm Faith. [Surah Al-Maa’idah. Ayaat 44-50] (see footnote a)

If the Pope meant divine law when he used the terms crime and sin in this context, then indeed some sinners were classified as criminals by Allah, particularly the transgressors among the people of Prophet Lut [peace be upon him]. Allah [The Exalted] stated:

وَلُوطًا إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦۤ أَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلۡفَـٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِہَا مِنۡ أَحَدٍ۬ مِّنَ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ
إِنَّڪُمۡ لَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ شَہۡوَةً۬ مِّن دُونِ ٱلنِّسَآءِ‌ۚ بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ قَوۡمٌ۬ مُّسۡرِفُونَ
وَمَا ڪَانَ جَوَابَ قَوۡمِهِۦۤ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓاْ أَخۡرِجُوهُم مِّن قَرۡيَتِڪُمۡ‌ۖ إِنَّهُمۡ أُنَاسٌ۬ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ
فَأَنجَيۡنَـٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُ ۥۤ إِلَّا ٱمۡرَأَتَهُ ۥ كَانَتۡ مِنَ ٱلۡغَـٰبِرِينَ
وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم مَّطَرً۬ا‌ۖ فَٱنظُرۡ ڪَيۡفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

And (remember) Lout (Lot), when he said to his people: “Do you commit the worst sin such as none preceding you has committed in the ‘Alamin (mankind and jinns)? Verily, you practise your lusts on men instead of women. Nay, but you are a people transgressing beyond bounds (by committing great sins).” And the answer of his people was only that they said: “Drive them out of your town, these are indeed men who want to be pure (from sins)!” Then We saved him and his family, except his wife; she was of those who remained behind (in the torment). And We rained down on them a rain (of stones). Then see what was the end of the Mujrimun (criminals). [Surah Al-A’raaf. Ayaat 80-84]

Pope tried to hide the reality conveyed in the divine revelation regarding these two words – crime and sin, even though Allah stated about the transgressors amongst the people of the noble Prophet Lut [peace be upon him]:

[ وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم مَّطَرً۬ا‌ۖ فَٱنظُرۡ ڪَيۡفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ – And We rained down on them a rain (of stones). Then see what was the end of the Mujrimun (criminals)].

Indeed, hiding truth is a mighty crime! Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, When a manifestation of evidence supporting the truth occurs and the person attempting to thwart it is unable to do so, he refrains from expressing the evidence and turns into a silent devil, or occasionally twists it. There are two types of distortion: the distortion of words and meanings. Distorting words occur when one utters a word in a situation where it does not establish the truth, either adding to the term or removing something from it, or substituting it with something else, the listener is led to believe something when something different is intended. The second type is distortion is related to meanings: distorting the wording, giving it an interpretation not intended by the person who stated it, pretending not to recognise its unintended meaning; or dropping other meanings intended by it”. (1)

The truth will never be lost, rather, Allah has clarified everything needed in the revelation and exposed the tricks of the deceivers. Allah [The Exalted] said: [ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ وَلِتَسْتَبِينَ سَبِيلُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ – And thus do We explain the signs (to you O Muḥammad) in detail, and so that the way of the criminals may become evident (to you)] [Surah Al-An’aam. Aayah 55] (2)

Imaam Ibn Katheer [may Allaah have mercy upon him] stated regarding this Ayah: “Allah [The Exalted] stated that just as He explained what was previously explained of the arguments and evidence on the path of guidance and sound judgement, and censured argumentation and stubbornness; likewise He explains the signs (proofs, evidences, lessons), which those being addressed are in need of; [ولتستبين سبيل المجرمين – and so that the way of the criminals may become evident (to you)], Meaning, so that the path of the criminals – those who oppose the Messengers – may become evident”. (3)

Imam At-Tabari [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated regarding the statement of Allah: [وكذلك نفصل الآيات – And thus do We explain the signs (to you O Muḥammad) in detail]- Meaning, O Muhammad! Just as We have detailed for you in this Surah – from its beginning and introduction up to this point – our proofs and evidences against the idolaters and worshippers of images, and distinguished and clarified it for you; likewise, We explain to you our signs and evidences for every truth denied by the people of falsehood, the sects and other than them, until its truth is distinguished from its falsehood, and its right is distinguished from its wrong. (4)

Finally, keep in mind what Shaikh Abu Khadeejah (may Allah preserve him) said as follows: “Prescribed punishments can only be carried out by the legal authority in a country that practices Islamic Law (i.e. in a Muslim country), and there must be clear evidence that actual sex had taken place. The Muslim penal code carries out punishments on the basis of the unlawful act that is committed and not on the basis of a person’s inclinations where no illegal act has been committed. This is the view of all of the famous scholars and jurists of Islam in line with the punishment dealt to the people of Lūt (in the Qur’an) and the hadīth of the Prophet. A Muslim, regardless of which country he lives in, is not allowed to physically harm those he regards to be sinners, nor incite others to do so. Vigilantism goes against Islamic teachings because it creates an anarchic, unjust, and disorderly society.

Allah [The Exalted] said:

فَلَوۡلَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡقُرُونِ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ أُوْلُواْ بَقِيَّةٍ۬ يَنۡہَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡفَسَادِ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا قَلِيلاً۬ مِّمَّنۡ أَنجَيۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ‌ۗ وَٱتَّبَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مَآ أُتۡرِفُواْ فِيهِ وَكَانُواْ مُجۡرِمِينَ

If only there had been among the generations before you, persons having wisdom, prohibiting (others) from Al-Fasad (disbelief, polytheism, and all kinds of crimes and sins) in the earth, as did a few of those whom We saved from among them. And those who did wrong pursued the enjoyment of good things of (this worldly) life and were Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers in Allah, polytheists, sinners, etc.). [Surah Hud. Aayah 116]

Allaah [The Exalted] said:

وَاسأَلهُم عَنِ القَريَةِ الَّتي كانَت حاضِرَةَ البَحرِ إِذ يَعدونَ فِي السَّبتِ إِذ تَأتيهِم حيتانُهُم يَومَ سَبتِهِم شُرَّعًا وَيَومَ لا يَسبِتونَ ۙ لا تَأتيهِم ۚ كَذٰلِكَ نَبلوهُم بِما كانوا يَفسُقونَ
وَإِذ قالَت أُمَّةٌ مِنهُم لِمَ تَعِظونَ قَومًا ۙ اللَّهُ مُهلِكُهُم أَو مُعَذِّبُهُم عَذابًا شَديدًا ۖ قالوا مَعذِرَةً إِلىٰ رَبِّكُم وَلَعَلَّهُم يَتَّقونَ
فَلَمّا نَسوا ما ذُكِّروا بِهِ أَنجَينَا الَّذينَ يَنهَونَ عَنِ السّوءِ وَأَخَذنَا الَّذينَ ظَلَموا بِعَذابٍ بَئيسٍ بِما كانوا يَفسُقونَ

And ask them (O Muhammad ) about the town that was by the sea, when they transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday): when their fish came to them openly on the Sabbath day and did not come to them on the day they had no Sabbath. Thus We made a trial of them for they used to rebel. And when a community among them said: “Why do you preach to a people whom Allah is about to destroy or to punish with a severe torment?” (The preachers) said: “In order to be free from guilt before your Lord (Allah), and perhaps they may fear Allah.” So when they forgot the reminders that had been given to them, We rescued those who forbade evil, but We seized those who did wrong with severe torment because they used to rebel (disobey Allah). [Surah Al-A’raaf. Ayaat 163-165]

Indeed, one of the greatest problems of our day is the misguided people who ascribe to religion, because their unclear and incorrect remarks are mindlessly accepted by the rabble and used by militant secularists to alter the Prophets’ path. They do not approve or disapprove based on clarity, but instead abandon the revelation and speak according to their preferences. In this article, we will make brief observations on Pope Francis’ beliefs, whose aim is to speak on behalf of all in the name of God’s love! However, before we quote and respond to his theological rhetoric, we recall a statement made by Shaikh Al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah and his student Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim [may Allaah have mercy upon them] about the misguided people of the Scripture.

Shaikh Al-Islam said, “Falsehood does not spread unless it is mingled with some truth, just as the people of the Scripture did. And with the little truth they possessed, they led many astray from the truth and led them to numerous falsehoods”. (1)

Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “These people, whose reasonings against the Book and the Sunnah are in fact tantamount to ignorance, base their matter on ambiguous statements that carry several interpretations. Because of the wording’s generality and ambiguity, it can be used to convey both truth and falsehood; therefore, what is true in it is accepted by those who do not have a thorough understanding of what is false in it for the sake of ambiguity and conflating truth with falsehood; then with the falsehood in it, they oppose the texts of the Prophets. This is the source of the misguidance of those who went astray from the nations before us”. (2)

Let’s now start our observations on the Pope’s thoughts and try to keep in mind the above two quotations from Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim and Shaikh Al-Islam.

Observation I: Pope Frances said the following when discussing buggery: “We are all children of God, and God loves us as we are and for the strength that each one of us has to fight for our dignity”. [End of quote]

Response: Certainly, we are all servants of Allah [The Most Merciful], as Allah stated:

وَقَالُواْ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ وَلَدً۬ا
لَّقَدۡ جِئۡتُمۡ شَيۡـًٔا إِدًّ۬ا
تَڪَادُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتُ يَتَفَطَّرۡنَ مِنۡهُ وَتَنشَقُّ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَتَخِرُّ ٱلۡجِبَالُ هَدًّا
أَن دَعَوۡاْ لِلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ وَلَدً۬ا
وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لِلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا
إِن ڪُلُّ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّآ ءَاتِى ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ عَبۡدً۬ا
لَّقَدۡ أَحۡصَٮٰهُمۡ وَعَدَّهُمۡ عَدًّ۬ا
وَكُلُّهُمۡ ءَاتِيهِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ فَرۡدًا

And they say: “The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a son (or offspring or children) [as a sect of the Jews say: ‘Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that He has begotten a son [‘Iesa (Christ)], and the pagan Arabs say that He has begotten daughters (angels, etc.)].” Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing. Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins, that they ascribe a son (or offspring or children) to the Most Beneficent (Allah). But it is not suitable for (the Majesty of) the Most Beneficent (Allah) that He should beget a son (or offspring or children). There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Beneficent (Allah) as a slave. Verily, He knows each one of them and has counted them a full counting. And every one of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection (without any helper, protector or defender). [Surah Maryam. Ayaat 88-95]

Regarding the statement that “God loves us,” it is true that Allah is merciful to humanity and Jinn, which is why He sent the Messengers as callers to Tawheed, bearers of good news, and warners of the destructive consequences of unbelief, shirk and transgression. Allah [The Exalted] said:

وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولًا أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱجْتَنِبُوا۟ ٱلطَّٰغُوتَ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ هَدَى ٱللَّهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةُ فَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a Messenger (proclaiming): “Worship Allah (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Taghut (all false deities, etc.i. e. do not worship Taghut besides Allah).” Then of them were some whom Allah guided and of them were some upon whom the straying was justified. So travel through the land and see what was the end of those who denied (the truth). [Surah An-Nahl. Ayah 36]

Allah [The Exalted] said:

إِنَّآ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ كَمَآ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ نُوحٍ وَٱلنَّبِيِّۦنَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسْمَٰعِيلَ وَإِسْحَٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَٱلْأَسْبَاطِ وَعِيسَىٰ وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُونُسَ وَهَٰرُونَ وَسُلَيْمَٰنَ وَءَاتَيْنَا دَاوُۥدَ زَبُورًا
وَرُسُلًا قَدْ قَصَصْنَٰهُمْ عَلَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُ وَرُسُلًا لَّمْ نَقْصُصْهُمْ عَلَيْكَ وَكَلَّمَ ٱللَّهُ مُوسَىٰ تَكْلِيمًا
رُّسُلًا مُّبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ حُجَّةٌۢ بَعْدَ ٱلرُّسُلِ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا

Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him. And we revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Descendants, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the book [of Psalms]. And Messengers We have mentioned to you before, and Messengers We have not mentioned to you, – and to Musa (Moses) Allah spoke directly. Messengers as bearers of good news as well as of warning in order that mankind should have no plea against Allah after the Messengers. And Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise. [Surah An-Nisaa. Ayaat 163-165]

Second, obedient believers in pure Islamic monotheism are not the same as those who call for Shirk, corruption, sin, and transgression on earth. Allah said:

أَمۡ نَجۡعَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ كَٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَمۡ نَجۡعَلُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ كَٱلۡفُجَّارِ

Shall We treat those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, as Mufsidun (those who associate partners in worship with Allah and commit crimes) on earth? Or shall We treat the Muttaqun (pious), as the Fujjar (criminals, disbelievers, sinful ones, etc)?] [Surah Saad. Ayah 28]

Allaah [The Exalted] said:

وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْأَعْمَىٰ وَالْبَصِيرُ
وَلَا الظُّلُمَاتُ وَلَا النُّورُ
وَلَا الظِّلُّ وَلَا الْحَرُورُ
وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْأَحْيَاءُ وَلَا الْأَمْوَاتُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُسْمِعُ مَن يَشَاءُ ۖ وَمَا أَنتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَّن فِي الْقُبُورِ
إِنْ أَنتَ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ
إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا ۚ وَإِن مِّنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَّا خَلَا فِيهَا نَذِيرٌ

Not alike are the blind and the seeing. Nor are (alike) the darkness and the light. Nor are (alike) the shade and the sun’s heat. Nor are (alike) the living and the dead. Verily, Allah makes whom He will hear, but you cannot make hear those who are in graves. You (O Muhammad) are only a warner. Verily! We have sent you with the truth, a bearer of glad tidings, and a warner. And there never was a nation but a warner had passed among them. [Surah Al-Faatir. Ayaat 19-24]

[وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْأَعْمَىٰ وَالْبَصِيرُ – Not alike are the blind and the seeing]-Meaning, just as it is undeniably established in their midst that the aforementioned things are not equal, they should also be aware that the opposites (connected to beliefs and deeds) are not the same. The believer and the disbeliever are not the same, nor are the guided and the misguided. The inhabitants of paradise and hell are not the same, nor are the knowledgeable and the ignorant. Those whose hearts are dead (because of disbelief) are not the same as those whose hearts are alive (due to belief in pure Islamic monotheism). There is a (significant) difference between these things that only Allah knows. So, if one is aware of their various statuses, distinguishes between the affairs, and it becomes clear regarding the affair that is obligated on you to compete and attain, as opposed to its opposite, then the determined one would choose for himself that which is more worthy and has a greater right to be given precedence.

[إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُسْمِعُ مَن يَشَاءُ – Verily, Allah makes whom He will hear]- Meaning, Meaning, the hearing (which leads to sound) comprehension, and acceptance of truth, because Allah is the guide and bestower of guidance.

[وَمَا أَنتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَّن فِي الْقُبُورِ- But you cannot make hear those who are in graves] – Meaning, those whose hearts are dead (due to disbelief, wicked deeds, etc.); or, just as your supplication cannot benefit the inhabitants of the graves in anything (except by Allah’s will), it cannot benefit the one who turns away – the stubborn one – in anything (except by Allah’s will), but your job is to warn and propagate what you are sent for, whether it is accepted from you or not. [An Excerpt from Tafseer As-Sadi. Slightly paraphrased]

As a result, those who follow the guidance, obey their Lord, and repent to Him are not equal to those who knowingly reject the guidance, openly defy their Lord, transgress or encourage those who disbelieve, persist upon misguidance, sin, and transgression. The Pope refrains from commenting on the conditions of Allah’s love and the causes of His displeasure out of a desire for sophistry, theological rhetoric, and popular approbation. Here are several verses in which Allah tells us about the reasons for His pleasure and displeasure due to the deeds of His servants.

Allah said:

وَقَٰتِلُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَٰتِلُونَكُمْ وَلَا تَعْتَدُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ

Fight—in the path of Allāh—those who fight against you but do not transgress the limits (by killing non-combatants). Indeed, Allāh loves not the transgressors. https://www.thenoblequran.com/q/#/search/2_190

Allah said:

وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَٱعْتَزِلُوا۟ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فِى ٱلْمَحِيضِ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلتَّوَّٰبِينَ وَيُحِبُّ ٱلْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ

They ask you about menstruation. Say: that is an Adha (a harmful thing for a husband to have sexual intercourse with his wife while she is having her menses), therefore keep away from women during menses and go not unto them till they have purified (from menses and have taken a bath). And when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them as Allah has ordained for you (go in unto them in any manner as long as it is in their vagina). Truly, Allah loves those who turn unto Him in repentance and loves those who purify themselves (by taking a bath and cleaning and washing thoroughly their private parts, bodies, for their prayers, etc.). [Surah Al-Baqarah. Ayah 222]

Allah said:

يَمْحَقُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ وَيُرْبِى ٱلصَّدَقَٰتِ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ

Allah will destroy Riba (usury) and will give increase for Sadaqat (deeds of charity, alms, etc.) And Allah likes not the disbelievers, sinners. [Surah Al-Baqarah. Ayah 276]

Allah said:

قُلْ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ

Say (O Muhammad): “Obey Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad).” But if they turn away, then Allah does not like the disbelievers. [Surah Al-Imran. Ayah 32]

Allah said:

وَكَأَيِّن مِّن نَّبِىٍّ۬ قَـٰتَلَ مَعَهُ ۥ رِبِّيُّونَ كَثِيرٌ۬ فَمَا وَهَنُواْ لِمَآ أَصَابَہُمۡ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُواْ وَمَا ٱسۡتَكَانُواْ‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ وَمَا كَانَ قَوۡلَهُمۡ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا ٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَإِسۡرَافَنَا فِىٓ أَمۡرِنَا وَثَبِّتۡ أَقۡدَامَنَا وَٱنصُرۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡڪَـٰفِرِينَ
فَـَٔاتَٮٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ثَوَابَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَحُسۡنَ ثَوَابِ ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

And many a Prophet (i.e. many from amongst the Prophets) fought (in Allah’s Cause) and along with him (fought) large bands of religious learned men. But they never lost heart for that which did befall them in Allah’s Way, nor did they weaken nor degrade themselves. And Allah loves As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.). And they said nothing but: “Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and our transgressions (in keeping our duties to You), establish our feet firmly, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk.” So Allah gave them the reward of this world and the excellent reward of the Hereafter. And Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (the good-doers). [Surah Al-Imran. Ayaat 146-148]

Allah said:

بَلَىٰ مَنۡ أَوۡفَىٰ بِعَهۡدِهِۦ وَٱتَّقَىٰ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ

Yes, whoever fulfils his pledge and fears Allah much; verily, then Allah loves those who are Al-Muttaqun [the pious and righteous persons who fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)]. [Surah Al-Imran. Ayah 76]

As for the true believers, they love what Allah and His Messenger love and despises what they despise. Read here about love and hate for the sake of Allah: https://salafidawahmanchester.com/2022/01/28/our-re-and-pshe-teacher-says-that-we-should-love-and-not-hate/

Observation II: Dignity: The only way to achieve dignity is to fear Allah, so be it as it may. Allah said:

يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَـٰكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ۬ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلۡنَـٰكُمۡ شُعُوبً۬ا وَقَبَآٮِٕلَ لِتَعَارَفُوٓاْ‌ۚ إِنَّ أَڪۡرَمَكُمۡ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَتۡقَٮٰكُمۡ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ۬

O humankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has the most Taqwah. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware]. [Surah Al-Hujuraat. Aayah 13]

The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, “Indeed, Allaah [The Exalted] has removed from you the pride of the pre-Islamic period and its boasting about ancestors. One is only a pious believer or a wretched sinner. You are sons of Adam and Adam (was created from) dust. Let the people abandon boasting about their ancestors, for they are merely fuel in Jahannam; or they will become more insignificant in (the sight of) Allah than the beetle which rolls dung with its nose”. [Saheeh Sunan Abee Dawud 5116]

Indeed, it is evident the Pope’s equivocal remarks on love and dignity simply serve to confuse the issue and encourage people who participate in anal intercourse to continue committing the sin.

Finally, keep in mind what Shaikh Abu Khadeejah (may Allah preserve him) said as follows: “Prescribed punishments can only be carried out by the legal authority in a country that practices Islamic Law (i.e. in a Muslim country), and there must be clear evidence that actual sex had taken place. The Muslim penal code carries out punishments on the basis of the unlawful act that is committed and not on the basis of a person’s inclinations where no illegal act has been committed. This is the view of all of the famous scholars and jurists of Islam in line with the punishment dealt to the people of Lūt (in the Qur’an) and the hadīth of the Prophet. A Muslim, regardless of which country he lives in, is not allowed to physically harm those he regards to be sinners, nor incite others to do so. Vigilantism goes against Islamic teachings because it creates an anarchic, unjust, and disorderly society. https://abukhadeejah.com/lgbtq-homosexuality-gay-muslims-and-islam/

[5] Ideologues hiding behind journalism

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Contemporary Issues, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Khawaarij, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Refutations, Sin, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

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

Allaah [The Most High] said:

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُونُوا۟ قَوَّٰمِينَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ شُهَدَآءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ ٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ وَٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ إِن يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًا فَٱللَّهُ أَوْلَىٰ بِهِمَا فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ أَن تَعْدِلُوا۟ وَإِن تَلْوُۥٓا۟ أَوْ تُعْرِضُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا

O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah; even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allah is a Better Protector to both (than you). So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do. [Surah An-Nisaa. Ayah 135]

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: The hatred harboured against one’s enemies should not lead to injustice, just as love of oneself, one’s parents, and one’s relatives should not prevent a person from upholding justice against them. Therefore, harbouring hatred for someone should not lead to falsehood, and loving others should not prevent one from establishing truth, just as some of the pious predecessors said, “The just person is that one whose anger does not lead to falsehood, and whose pleasure does not divert from the truth.” (1)

Indeed, it is obvious that these ideologues, who are concealing themselves as journalists, have another goal in mind when they criticise the evil Khaarijites (ISIS, Al-Qaida, Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, etc.). When critiquing the Khaarijites, they purposefully use terminology, concepts, and words to misrepresent the actual image of pure “Islam.” Here is a tweet along with Jason’s reply.

William Baldet @willBaldet Jul 20

Police may drop term ‘Islamist’ when describing ‘Islamist terror attacks. Proposed alternatives include’ faith claimed terrorism’, ‘terrorists abusing religious motivations’ and ‘adherents of Osama bin Laden’s ideology’. thetimes.co.uk/article/police [End of quote]

First off, Jason Burke calls the suggestion crazy in the tweet above! In this instance, his view  implies that it is a bad idea to disassociate the term Islam from the crimes of foolish and misguided Muslims! We do, after all, kindly remind him that “the actuality of lying is to convey news of something contrary to the true reality. The dissemination of information is not restricted to spoken communication; it can also occur through silent (approval) or by gestures like nodding or gesturing with the hand”. (2)

In fact, the issue is not just with the evil khaarijites (ISIS, Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, Al-Qaida, etc.) and other ignorant Muslims who believe that the actions of these terrorists are acceptable under Islam; rather, we also have to deal with the falsehood of those ideologues, demagogues, and rabble-rousers who are desperately trying to discredit Islam in order to advance their own ideology.

Jason hesitantly remarked, “Maybe they could just call them terrorist attacks,” after insisting that the term “Islamist” should not be abandoned when discussing the crimes of the Kharijites because doing so is crazy. Yes, there is no text in the Qur’an and Sunnah that grants anyone the right to do as they please, whether acting alone or on behalf of an organisation. Therefore, the only possible explanations for these incidents are terrorist attacks, terrorists who abuse religious motivations, or followers of Usama Bin Laden’s ideology.

Even when two nations are officially at war, the Muslim ruler, his government and his army are directed with justice and fairness.

وَقَٰتِلُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَٰتِلُونَكُمْ وَلَا تَعْتَدُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ

Fight—in the path of Allāh—those who fight against you but do not transgress the limits (by killing non-combatants). Indeed, Allāh loves not the transgressors. [Surah Al-Baqarah. Ayah 190] https://www.thenoblequran.com/q/#/search/2_%20190

When referring to this Ayah, Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said, “Do not kill women, children, old men, or anyone who approaches you for peace and refrains from fighting because if you do so then you have undoubtedly transgressed.” (3)

Both the Kharijites and some governments are guilty of brutality. When America detonated its atomic bombs in 1945, the manners referred to in the preceding verse were not followed! Was this a deliberate act of violence, brutality, tyranny, or a war strategy?! It is unquestionably not what is implied by the honourable Prophet’s (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) remark that “War is a stratagem”. (4)

Imaam At-Tabari [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said, “It is permissible to mislead the enemy about one’s true intentions during a war by using mu’aaradah (i.e., making one’s remarks or deeds evasive or ambiguous). (5)

Ibn Abdul Barr [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “Stratagem during war occurs by means of concealment and giving (the opponent) a wrong impression”. (6)

The scholars all agree that it is acceptable to mislead the unbelievers [i.e. when two armies are at war], but that this is not acceptable if it violates a covenant or an agreement made as a safety assurance. (7)

When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) planned to embark on an expedition (against a people with whom there is no treaty and war was declared), Ka’b Bin Maalik [may Allaah be pleased with him] reported that the Prophet always pretended to be going somewhere else and would say, “War is a stratagem.” (8)

Abul Fayd [may Allaah have mercy upon him] narrated that Sulaym Ibn Amir [may Allaah have mercy upon him] reported that there was a peace treaty between Mu’aawiyah [may Allaah be pleased with him and his father] and the Byzantines. He was marching towards their country and when the covenant came to an end, he would attack them. A man came on a horse, saying, “Allah is Most Great! Allah is Most Great! Let there be fulfilment and not treachery!” Mu’aawiyah sent for him and questioned him about that. He said, “I heard Allaah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] say, “When one has a covenant with people he must not strengthen or loosen it until its term comes to an end or he brings it to an end in agreement with them”. He said, “So Mu’aawiyah returned with the people”. (9)

Abdullah Ibn Umar [may Allaah be pleased with him and his father] reported that Allaah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, “When Allah gathers the earlier and later generations on the Day of Resurrection, He will raise a banner for every treacherous person and it will be announced that this is the treachery of this person, the son of this person” (10)

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”. (11)

General Advice Regarding the Khawarij Terrorists by Abu Khadeejah

If Jason and his ilk really want to know the truth, this is Islam! It is free from the deceptions perpetrated by terrorists acting in the name of Islam based on misinterpretations of religious texts, free from the atrocities committed by secularists who start pointless wars, and free from the fabrications of Western ideologues, demagogues, and rabble-rousers who wish to delegitimize Islam (the infallible path ordained by the Creator) and advance their man-made ideologies.

[4] Ideologues hiding behind journalism

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Contemporary Issues, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Refutations.

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

Shaikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “The sensible person looks at the reality and not (merely) what is apparent”. (1)

The following is a review of a claim made by Jason Burke and Zeinab Muhammad in an article they wrote on Tuesday, July 21 as follows:

First and foremost, we have all seen the destructive effects of revolt. Read articles at the following links:

http://www.salafipublications.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=MNJ16&articleID=MNJ160002&pfriend=

Second, in the above quote, Jason and his associate referred to Hasan At-Turaabi – a misguided caller to innovation in religious affairs – as an ‘Islamist Ideologue’. In an effort to convey his observation and analysis, Jason has once again attempted to link the word Islam with foreign ideas. Many Western ideologues, demagogues, and writers define the term “Islamist” as “a person who strongly believes in Islam, especially one who believes that Islam should influence political systems, an advocate or supporter of Islamic militancy or fundamentalism”.

Indeed, the term Islamist encompasses both truth and falsehood, so let’s take a quick look at the situation. First off, if an individual who firmly holds to Islam, particularly one who believes that Islam should affect political systems, is referred to as an “Islamist” by Western writers, then this is undoubtedly praiseworthy in the Sight of the Creator. Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee [may Allaah preserve him] said: “Whoever Allah wishes good for, He gives them an understanding of the religion. The Islamic jurisprudence books—those that cover the rulings on prayer, zakat, fasting, marriage, etc.—are what the general public interprets when this understanding of the religion is addressed. This comprehension is inadequate. Fiqh (understanding) is first and foremost the understanding of the (sound) creed and Tawheed (i.e., sound Islamic monotheism). This is the greatest level of Fiqh since the nobility of knowledge is assessed according to the nobility of its subject. Tawheed is the noblest subject because it teaches people about their Lord’s attributes and the perfection of those attributes, about His Oneness, how to worship Him (alone), and how to sincerely establish their religion for His Sake. Therefore, we seek knowledge of Tawheed from the Qur’an, the (authentic) Sunnah of Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him], and the understanding of our pious predecessors. We seek understanding in every facet of (Sharee’ah) knowledge, including what is halal and haraam, what constitutes acts of worship, how to interact with others, and how to conduct sound Islamic politics and economics. (see footnote I)  All of these issues are covered in great detail in the (message) delivered by Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him]. The most important of these is the comprehension of Tawheed [Islamic Monotheism], and when the term “Fiqh” is used, it is meant to cover the understanding of every matter that is relevant to our religious and worldly affairs. (2)

Thus, if a Muslim firmly upholds Islam and adheres to the path described by Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee [may Allaah preserve him], then indeed, their pursuit is praiseworthy in the Sight of the Creator – the One Who revealed all the divine laws and required humankind to follow the guidance of the Prophets; however, one must keep in mind that this does not include the politics of the power-hungry Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt and others.

However, if an “Islamist” is defined by Western writers as “an advocate or supporter of militancy, radicalism, or terrorism,” then this activity is not to be attributed to Islam because Islam does not support the methodology of the khawaarij and those who are influenced by them. The Prophet [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, “Whoever kills one who is under an agreement of protection will not smell the fragrance of Paradise”. This hadeeth makes it quite evident that killing a non-Muslim citizen who is protected by an agreement entails the threat of punishment for a Muslim in the hereafter. Therefore, how can any sane individual attribute the actions of such a Muslim to Islam?!

As for the word “Islamic Fundamentalism,” it is widely understood by those who use it to indicate “strict observance of the teachings of the Qur’an and the Shari’ah (Islamic Law),” despite the fact that there is substantial disagreement among people regarding its meaning. So, if this is what Western authors mean when they use the term “fundamentalism,” then indeed Allah [The Exalted] said:

فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ حَتَّىٰ يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُواْ فِىٓ أَنفُسِہِمۡ حَرَجً۬ا مِّمَّا قَضَيۡتَ وَيُسَلِّمُواْ تَسۡلِيمً۬ا

But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission. [Surah An-Nisaa. Aayah 65]

Narrated Abu Musa [may Allaah be pleased with him] that the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, “My example and the example of what I have been sent with is that of a man who came to some people and said, O people! I have seen the enemy’s army with my own eyes and I am a plain warner; so protect yourselves!’ Then a group of his people obeyed him and fled at night proceeding stealthily till they were safe, while another group of them disbelieved him and stayed at their places till morning when the army came upon them and killed and ruined them completely. So this is the example of that person who obeys me and follows that truth which I have brought (the Qur’an and the Sunnah), and the example of the one who disobeys me and disbelieves the Truth I have brought”. [Saheeh Al-Bukhaari. Vol 9. Number: 7283]

Consequently, if this is what Western writers mean when they use the term “Fundamentalism,” then it is a commendable act in the Sight of Allaah [The Exalted]. However, if they mean those who advocate violence, then this is indeed the behaviour of the Khaarijites (terrorists and innovators – ISIS, Al-Qa’idah, Jabhat An-Nusra and their ilk). It is therefore required of these writers to avoid combining fact and fiction.

Third, what exactly is an ideologue? It is frequently a partisan supporter or adherent of a specific ideology, especially one that is rigid and dogmatic; someone who has strong convictions about certain values and makes a conscious effort to uphold them etc.

Islam is a revelation based on the infallible Qur’an and authentic Sunnah, and humankind has been commanded to follow it and not oppose it with their ideas, views, or those of others, whether they are referred to as ideologues or not. Allah said:

ٱتَّبِعُوا۟ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ

[Say (O Muhammad)]: Follow what has been sent down unto you from your Lord (the Quran and Prophet Muhammad’s Sunnah), and follow not any Auliya’ (protectors and helpers, etc. who order you to associate partners in worship with Allah), besides Him (Allah). Little do you remember! [Surah Al-A’raaf. Ayah 3]

If Jason and his blind follower had spent some time studying Hasan At-Turaabi’s methodology and had referred back to the explanations of the upright Salafi scholars, like Al-Allaamah Muqbil bin Haadi [may Allaah have mercy upon him], they would have referred to Hasan At-Turaabi as an ideologue without associating the word Islam with his methodology or orientation, or at least clarified what exactly they meant by Islamist and then made a distinction between it and the methodology of the pious predecessors. Indeed, with regard to terms mentioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah, “Every believer has a duty to affirm them and to reject what Allah and His Messenger have rejected because Allah states the truth and directs us to the right path. The words (or terms) of the Sharee’ah are sanctified, and it is from the perfection of knowledge that one seeks after the [sound meanings] that the Messenger intended by them, to affirm that which he affirmed and to negate that which he negated because it is incumbent upon us to believe and bear witness to all that he has said and to obey him in all that he has commanded. Regarding terms (or words) that are neither mentioned in the Qur’an nor the [authentic] Sunnah, nor is there any consensus among the pious predecessors as to whether they are negated or affirmed, it is not obligatory to agree with one who either negates or affirms them until the term’s intended meaning is clarified. Therefore, if the intended meaning of something is in line with the (revelation) that the Messenger conveyed, it is accepted; but if the intended meaning is in conflict with what the Messenger conveyed, it is rejected”. (3)

Jason and his blind follower must refrain from referencing Islam until they return to the religion’s legitimate sources in order to avoid committing the crime of those who fell into uncertainty. Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: “These people, whose reasonings against the Book and the Sunnah are in fact tantamount to ignorance, base their matter on ambiguous statements that carry several interpretations. Because of the wording’s generality and ambiguity, it can be used to convey both truth and falsehood; therefore, what is true in it is accepted by those who do not have a thorough understanding of what is false in it for the sake of ambiguity and conflating truth with falsehood; then with the falsehood in it, they oppose the texts of the Prophets. This is the source of the misguidance of those who went astray from the nations before us”. (4)

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

Allaah [The Most High] said:

يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ

They want to extinguish Allah’s Light with their mouths [i.e. the Qur’an, the pure Islamic monotheism, and the guidance Allah sent Muhammad with] but Allah will not allow it except that His Light should be perfected even though the disbelievers hate (it). [Soorah At-Tawbah: Ayah: 32]

Imaam Ibn Katheer [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: They wish to destroy the guidance and religion of truth that Allah gave His Messenger through their arguments and fabrications, so their example in this is that of someone who attempts to put out the light of the sun or the moon by blowing at them, but this (person) can never succeed in doing so. (1)

Jason Burke wrote:

Let’s start by stating that nobody has the authority to change the names and descriptions that Allah has given to the various individuals and groups among human beings and the Jinn. Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] said: Indeed, Allaah created the Jinn and humanity and endowed them with the intrinsic ability to identify Tawheed, submit to Him, and worship Him alone. However, some of them believed, while others did not.

Allah said:

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمۡ فَمِنكُمۡ ڪَافِرٌ۬ وَمِنكُم مُّؤۡمِنٌ۬‌ۚ

He it is Who created you, then some of you are disbelievers and some of you are believers.

While Shaytaan and the proponents of evil wish them disbelief and evil, Allah wishes them Imaan and well-being. Allah [The Exalted] said:

يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَكُمۡ وَيَہۡدِيَڪُمۡ سُنَنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِڪُمۡ وَيَتُوبَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ۬
وَٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتُوبَ عَلَيۡڪُمۡ وَيُرِيدُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلشَّہَوَٲتِ أَن تَمِيلُواْ مَيۡلاً عَظِيمً۬ا

Allaah wishes to make clear (what is lawful and what is unlawful) to you and to show you the ways of those before you, and accept your repentance, and Allaah is All-Knower, All-Wise. Allaah wishes to accept your repentance, but those who follow their lusts, wish that you (believers) should deviate tremendously away from the Right Path.

And because of this, Allah sent the Messengers, revealed the Scriptures, and established His Proofs; as a result, there are people who choose to accept the truth and embrace faith, as well as others who choose to reject the truth and embrace unbelief. Indeed, Allah has established the distinctions between believers and unbelievers in this life and the hereafter, and He forbade that the two groups be made equal. And in this life and the hereafter, Allah has outlined recompense and judgment for each of the two groups. He has given each group a distinctive name, such as Mumin for the believer, Kaafir for the disbeliever, Barrun for the upright (righteous one), Faajir for the evildoer, Mushrik for the polytheist, Muwahhid for the monotheist, Faasiq for a sinner, Munaafiq for the hypocrite, Mutee’un the obedient one and Aasee for the disobedient one. He also prohibited equating these disparate identities and attitudes. Allah said:

أَمۡ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱجۡتَرَحُواْ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن نَّجۡعَلَهُمۡ كَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ

Or do those who earn evil deeds think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds?!

Allah said:

أَمۡ نَجۡعَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ كَٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَمۡ نَجۡعَلُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ كَٱلۡفُجَّارِ

Shall We treat those who believe (in the Oneness of Allaah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, as Mufsidoon (those who associate partners in worship with Allah and commit crimes) on earth?! Or shall We treat the Muttaqoon (the pious ones), as the Fujjaar (criminals, disbelievers, wicked, etc)?!

That is to say, we have not made them equal since doing so would not comport with Allah’s justice.

Should we renounce the terms Kufr (disbelief), Shirk (ascribing partners to Allah), Kuffaar (unbelievers), and Mushrikeen (polytheists) found in the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and the Books of the Islamic creed? This will be against Allah and His Messenger and a violation of the Book and Sunnah. We will be associated with those who distort the Book of their Lord and the Sunnah of their Messenger if we alter the true meanings of the Shari’ah terms. What defence is then available for (such a crime)? Is it to please the unbelievers? As long as we maintain our religion, the non-believers will never be happy with us. Allah said:

وَدُّواْ لَوۡ تَكۡفُرُونَ كَمَا كَفَرُواْ فَتَكُونُونَ سَوَآءً۬‌ۖ

They wish that you reject Faith, as they have rejected (Faith), and thus that you all become equal (like one another). (2)

Regarding Jason’s claim that “Sudan will also ban the practice of takfir by which a Muslim can be declared apostate by another and so subject to a potential death sentence,” the statement definitely needs clarification and detail because while it is true that a Muslim can declare another Muslim to be apostate and subject to the prescribed punishment, the question is who among the Muslims has the authority to do so! Indeed, Ahlus Sunnah are fully aware that Takfeer can only be made by the upright scholars of the Islamic world—those who fear Allah and refrain from speaking unless they are well-informed.

Regarding the quote from Jason that reads, “The Takfir of others became a threat to the security and safety of society,” it is clear that the act of false (or unjustified) Takfir against a Muslim is a dangerous matter. All Muslim rulers must take action to shut this terrible door in order to stop the contemporary Khaarijites from using Sayyid Qutb’s, Usama Bin Ladin’s, and Ayman Az-Zawahiri’s evil ideology to overthrow Muslim governments and incite violence.

Shaikh Falaah Ismaa’eel [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated: In order to comprehend their danger, it merits noting what Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] wished if he were to encounter them and what he would do to them, despite the fact that they hail from the Ummah and from the people of the Qiblah, that he would slaughter them in a manner comparable to that of Aad and Thamood; especially when one considers what Allah’s Messenger said concerning dogs, “Had dogs not been a community amongst the communities, I would have commanded that all of them be killed”. (see footnote I) Therefore, a sensible person examines and considers what the Messenger of guidance and mercy wanted to do to these Khawaarij, notwithstanding their commitment to worship, prayer, fasting, and Qur’anic recitation, in comparison to what he prevented himself and others from doing to dogs. Indeed, this is strong evidence of the peril posed by the persistence of this idea [i.e., Fasle Takfeer] and this kind of people in the Ummah [i.e., the Khawaarij], since they weaken the Ummah and keep it preoccupied with [internal issues, strife, etc.] (3)

Footnote I: “Had dogs not been a community amongst the communities, I would have commanded that all of them be killed”.

Al-Khattaabee [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “This statement means that the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] hated that a community among the communities and a species among the creation would vanish until they all ceased to exist because, in reality, none of Allah’s creatures exist without some kind of purpose or benefit guiding their existence. Since there is no way to eliminate all of them in this situation, kill the evil ones among them – the black dog – leave the others so that you might use them as guard dogs”. [An Excerpt from Ma’aalim As-Sunan 4/132] [NB: Only the authorities in the Uk are allowed to take the life of an animal and any individual who does so will be found guilty of animal cruelty]

Dogs we can keep: Abdullah Ibn Umar [may Allaah be pleased with him and his father] said, “Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, ‘Whoever keeps a dog, except a dog for herding livestock or a dog that is trained for hunting, two qiraats [i.e. great reward] will be deducted from his reward each day’”. [Bukhaari 5163 and Muslim 1574]

Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said, “As a result, there is no need to have a dog to guard a house if it is in the heart of a metropolis. Therefore, having a dog for this reason in such circumstances is forbidden and unlawful, and it reduces a person’s reward by one or two qiraats each day. However, it is acceptable to have a dog to protect the home and those living there if the house is in a rural area and nobody is home. It is more crucial to protect a household’s residents than its animals or agricultural produce”. [An Excerpt from Majmoo Fataawa Ibn Uthaymeen 4/246]

The Hunting Dog

Allah [The Most High] said:

يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ مَاذَآ أُحِلَّ لَهُمۡ‌ۖ قُلۡ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتُ‌ۙ وَمَا عَلَّمۡتُم مِّنَ ٱلۡجَوَارِحِ مُكَلِّبِينَ تُعَلِّمُونَہُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ‌ۖ فَكُلُواْ مِمَّآ أَمۡسَكۡنَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَٱذۡكُرُواْ ٱسۡمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡهِ‌ۖ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ

They ask you [O Muhammad)] what is lawful for them [as food]. Say: “Lawful unto you are At-Tayyibat [all kind of Halal (lawful-good) foods which Allah has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, milk products, fats, vegetables, and fruits, etc.)]. And those beasts and birds of prey which you have trained as hounds, training and teaching them [to catch] in the manner as directed to you by Allaah; so eat of what they catch for you, but pronounce the Name of Allah over it, and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Swift in reckoning”. [Surah Al-Maa’idah. Aayah 4]

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said: Indeed, Allah declared the prey of the untrained hound to be dead meat and forbidden to consume, whereas He declared the prey of the trained hound to be permissible. This is evidence of the nobility of knowledge as Allah did not declare any prey other than that of the trained hound to be lawful. The trained and untrained hound would have been the same if it weren’t for the fact that knowledge and teaching have a unique distinguished virtue and nobility.

The two main causes of egregious corruption and depravity in society

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Contemporary Issues, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul.

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

Imaam Ibn al-Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated: “Everyone who possesses even a modicum of (sound) intellect is aware that the corruption of the world and its destruction are caused by placing human opinion ahead of divine revelation and desires ahead of sound reasoning. These two evil objectives cannot be deeply ingrained in a heart without causing its complete deterioration, nor exist in a nation without entirely corrupting its affairs”.(1)

Shaikh Abu Iyaadh [may Allah preserve him] stated, “The wisdom of the Islamic Shariah: Cut off evils and harms to society from their very roots and enjoy the resulting freedom, ease, and wholesome life. In contrast: the barbarity and backwardness of commercialising corrosive evils– usurious banking, alcohol, gambling–in order to profit from the masses through affairs in which their ruin and impoverishment lies–and then managing this commercialisation through legislation, policies, guidelines and so on to “limit the harms”. The result? Inescapable enslavement, bondage, disease and ruin of the masses for the enrichment of the few who peddle these vices. Where is the intellect?!” (2)

Concocted Nonsense of a Thoughtless Dutch Moron – Geert Wilders

Allah [The Exalted] says:

الٓر‌ۚ ڪِتَـٰبٌ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ إِلَيۡكَ لِتُخۡرِجَ ٱلنَّاسَ مِنَ ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ بِإِذۡنِ رَبِّهِمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٲطِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡحَمِيدِ
ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِى لَهُ ۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۗ وَوَيۡلٌ۬ لِّلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ مِنۡ عَذَابٍ۬ شَدِيدٍ
ٱلَّذِينَ يَسۡتَحِبُّونَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا عَلَى ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبۡغُونَہَا عِوَجًا‌ۚ أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ فِى ضَلَـٰلِۭ بَعِيدٍ۬

Alif-Laam-Raa. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur’an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings]. (This is) a Book which We have revealed unto you (O Muhammad) in order that you might lead mankind out of darkness by their Lord’s Leave to the Path of the All-Mighty, the Owner of all Praise. Allah to Whom belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth! And woe unto the disbelievers from a severe torment. Those who prefer the life of this world instead of the Hereafter, and hinder (men) from the Path of Allah (i.e. Islam) and seek crookedness therein – They are far astray. [Surah Ibraaheem. Aayaat 1-3]

At present, the thoughtless Danish moron – Geert Wilders – calls a Muslim leader an Islamofascist! 

Indeed, every charlatan who attempts to misrepresent Islam is driven to carry out the diabolical suggestions of “French King Louis IX, who was captured in 1250 while on a crusade against the Muslims of Egypt. After paying a significant ransom, he was eventually freed from prison. But while he was imprisoned, he used the time to plan ways to undermine Islam and Muslims, so the devil inspired him with the following schemes: first, the battle between Western Christians and Muslims should be replaced with a conflict over ideas and culture. Second, prepare the West to pervert Islam’s reputation around the world and damage Muslims’ religious beliefs”. (1)

Second, it is undeniable that one tactic used by the openly hostile to Islam, particularly those lying under the call to moderation, tolerance, and liberty, is the attribution of ideas and conceptions to Islam without guidance from Allah and His Messenger. Additionally, some Muslims also commit this mistake as Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi [may Allaah preserve him] stated: “Those who carry seductive slogans in the name of Islam, such as Islamic socialism, Islamic democracy, the call for religious harmony, and many other misguided claims made in the name of Islam, are among the liars of this era, along with political figures like the secularists and Baathists [Arab Nationalists]. This occurs among organizations that claim that their goals are to elevate Islam and restore the Islamic Ummah to its former splendor, but they only serve to lead more people astray and into darkness, and Allah’s Refuge is sought! The Muslims and scholars have a duty to be exceedingly watchful of all of these types of persons, warn the Muslims about their plots and intentions, and reveal their secrets because this puts the community and the youth at greater risk”. (2)

Therefore, the true meaning of Islam must be made public and then distinguished from everything that is not in accordance with it in order to expose the lies of these declared opponents, such as the thoughtless Danish moron Geert Wilders. What is the meaning of Islam? Islam means Al-Istislaam (to submit) to Allaah with Tawheed (i.e. pure Islamic monotheism), obey Him, and keep away from Shirk and the people of Shirk. Allaah [The Exalted] stated about Prophet Ibraaheem [peace be upon him]:

وَإِذۡ قَالَ إِبۡرَٲهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦۤ إِنَّنِى بَرَآءٌ۬ مِّمَّا تَعۡبُدُونَ
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِى فَإِنَّهُ ۥ سَيَہۡدِينِ
وَجَعَلَهَا كَلِمَةَۢ بَاقِيَةً۬ فِى عَقِبِهِۦ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ

And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) said to his father and his people: “Verily, I am innocent of what you worship, except Him (i.e. I worship none but Allah Alone) Who did create me, and verily, He will guide me.” And he made it [i.e. La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah Alone)] a Word lasting among his offspring (True Monotheism), that they may turn back (i.e. to repent to Allah or receive admonition). [Surah Az-Zukhruf. Aayaat 26-28]

Allaah [The Exalted] said:

قُلۡ يَـٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ تَعَالَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ڪَلِمَةٍ۬ سَوَآءِۭ بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَكُمۡ أَلَّا نَعۡبُدَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ وَلَا نُشۡرِكَ بِهِۦ شَيۡـًٔ۬ا وَلَا يَتَّخِذَ بَعۡضُنَا بَعۡضًا أَرۡبَابً۬ا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَقُولُواْ ٱشۡهَدُواْ بِأَنَّا مُسۡلِمُونَ

Say (O Muhammad): “O people of the Scripture: Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allah, and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: “Bear witness that we are Muslims.” [Surah Aal Imraan. Aayah 64] (3)

This is Islaam – submission to the Creator, worshipping Him alone, obeying Him alone without reservation, and avoiding Shirk and its adherents.

What is Fascism? They say that it is a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government; a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. A political system based on a very powerful leader, state control, and being extremely proud of country and race, and in which political opposition is not allowed.

Let’s make a few quick observations regarding the thorough and distinct definition provided above. Islam is neither a political theory nor a political movement, and Islamic authority does not rely on autocracy; rather, both the ruler and the subject are expected to adhere to everything revealed in the Qur’aan and the authentic Sunnah.

Allaah [The Mighty and Majestic] said:

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأۡمُرُكُمۡ أَن تُؤَدُّواْ ٱلۡأَمَـٰنَـٰتِ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهَا وَإِذَا حَكَمۡتُم بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ أَن تَحۡكُمُواْ بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ نِعِمَّا يَعِظُكُم بِهِۦۤ‌ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ سَمِيعَۢا بَصِيرً۬ا
يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِى ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِنكُمۡ‌ۖ فَإِن تَنَـٰزَعۡتُمۡ فِى شَىۡءٍ۬ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمۡ تُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأَخِرِ‌ۚ ذَٲلِكَ خَيۡرٌ۬ وَأَحۡسَنُ تَأۡوِيلاً

Verily! Allah commands that you should render back the trusts to those, to whom they are due; and that when you judge between men, you judge with justice. Verily, how excellent is the teaching which He (Allah) gives you! Truly, Allah is Ever All-Hearer, All-Seer. O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority. (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if you believe in Allah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for the final determination. [Surah An-Nisaa. Aayaat 58-59]

Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said: The first verse, according to the scholars, was revealed in relation to the rulers; it commands them to return trusts to those to whom they are due and to decide between the people justly. The second verse was revealed in reference to those who are under the ruler’s authority, including the armies and those who were not. It states that they are required to obey the rulers who uphold justice in their decisions, rulings, military campaigns, and other matters, with the exception of times when they give orders to disobey Allah, as there cannot be obedience to the creation while disobeying Allah. And if they disagree on anything, they should refer back to Allah’s Book and His Messenger’s Sunnah. If the rulers fail to achieve this, then they will only be obeyed in accordance with obeying Allah and His Messenger, and their rights will be fulfilled in accordance with what Allah and His Messenger instructed, with the result that they will be supported in righteousness and piety but not in sin and transgression. (4)

In addition, a strong leader is something that is desired because, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Verily, the leader is a shield behind whom they fight and he protects them. If he commands (people to) fear Allaah [The Exalted] and justice, then he will have a reward. If he commands something else, then it will be against him”. [Ṣaḥeeh Muslim 1841]

Imaam An-Nawawi [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said: “Meaning, he is like a shelter because he prevents the enemy from harming the Muslims, prevents the people from (harming) one another (i.e., establishes justice), protects the Muslim nation, and the people fear his authority because he will establish justice against the oppressor. “Behind whom they fight,” means that they stand by him in their struggle against the unbelievers (i.e. those at war with his nation), the rebels, the Khaarijites, and all other instigators of injustice and corruption. (5)

Regarding the coercive repression of opposition, the believer has been given a pure approach to dealing with unjust governments. Read the article by Shaikh Abu Khadeejah [may Allaah preserve him]: https://abukhadeejah.com/the-tyranny-of-the-rulers-a-reason-for-rebellion/

With regards to the mention of philosophy or a political ideology found in the definition of Fascism, then indeed, Islam is innocent of that which they necessitate. Islam is not a set of ideas and it is free from the requirements that the definition of fascism makes reference to in terms of philosophy or a political ideology; rather it is a divine revelation revealed by the Creator (Allah) in the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah of the noble Messenger, who never speaks out of his own desires. Allah said:

وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌ يُوحَىٰ

Nor does he speak out of the desire (of his own soul) (and forge revelation thereby); it is nothing but revelation revealed to him (containing guidance, rectitude and piety which he follows). [Shaikh Abu Iyad: https://www.thenoblequran.com/q/#/verse/53/3 ]

“Concepts or ideas can be contested, rejected, disapproved, etc., and submitted for discussion. It may be right or wrong. Due to the fact that an idea or concept is something that is particularly linked to the creation (i.e., humankind and Jinn), as well as the fact that an idea or thought might be right or wrong, it is not acceptable to associate Islam with the words “idea” or “thought.” The Sharee’ah [the infallible divine law, belief, and acts of worship] as transmitted by the last Messenger from the Qur’an, and the authentic Sunnah is infallible”. (6)

How can fascism be linked to Islam when everything included in the concept of fascism is in direct opposition to what Islam commands? However, the thoughtless moron Geert Wilders uses the term without any justification; rather, he is one who is filled with hatred, therefore anything he says is only a reflection of what is concealed in his heart. Allah says:

قَدْ بَدَتِ ٱلْبَغْضَآءُ مِنْ أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِى صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ

Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. (Surah Al-Imran. Ayah 118]

Allah said:

يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُطْفِـُٔوا۟ نُورَ ٱللَّهِ بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى ٱللَّهُ إِلَّآ أَن يُتِمَّ نُورَهُۥ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ

They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refuses except to perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it. (Surah At-Tawbah. Ayah 32)

Finally, we ask Allah:
رَبَّنَا لَا تَجۡعَلۡنَا فِتۡنَةً۬ لِّلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
وَنَجِّنَا بِرَحۡمَتِكَ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ

Our Lord, make us not [objects of] trial for the wrongdoing people, and save us by Your Mercy from the disbelieving folk.

“Indeed, from the perfection of a person’s Islam is leaving that which is of no concern to him” explained by Shaykh ibn Baz

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Contemporary Issues, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Refutations.

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

Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with him] reported that Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “Indeed, from the perfection of a person’s Islam is leaving that which is of no concern to him”. [Hassan Hadith. Reported by Imaam Tirmidhi and others]

The idiotic bid’ee Muhammad Hijaab asked married youth how many times they have sex every week?!

فمن حُسن إسلام المرء تركه ما لا يعنيه، التَّدخل فيما لا يعنيه قد يُسبب مشاكل، فمن حُسن إسلام المرء، ومن حُسن إيمانه، ومن حُسن سيرته: عدم التَّدخل فيما لا يعنيه،
فالإنسان إذا ابتعد عمَّا لا يعنيه، ولم يدخل في مشاكل الناس، ولا في سؤال فلانٍ وفلانٍ عمَّا لا يعنيه، فهذا هو من كمال إيمانه؛ لأنه قد يدخل في شيءٍ يضره، أو يُشوش على غيره، أو يُسبب فتنة

Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: From the perfection of a person’s Islam is to leave what does not concern him. Interfering with what does not concern him may cause problems. From the perfection of a person’s Islam, from the perfection of his Imaan, and from the perfection of his conduct is not to interfere in what does not concern him. Therefore, if a person distances himself from what does not concern him- neither interferes with people’s problems nor asks so-and-so about what does not concern him, then this is part of the perfection of his Imaan, because indeed he may enter into something that either harms him or confuses others, or causes trial. (1)

Finally, even though every sane person may regard Muhammad’s question as very strange, intrusive, disrespectful, or vulgar; however, his bidah is worse than this question.
