ALLAH’S WARNING REGARDING SOME PEOPLE CLAIMING TO BE MUSLIMS



This is one of the traditional approaches in ensuring the
understanding of attributes of Allah, amongst Muslims
who are exposed to other religious or philosophical views,
does not deviate from that of the pious predecessors
(Salafus-Soleheen)


1 – An attribute which is also the
SIFAT NAFSIYYAH
Essence.

5 – Distinctive (negating) attributes.
SIFAT SAL-BIYYAH

7 – Attributes in the meanings.
SIFAT MA-’AANIY

7 – Attributing full consequence and
relevance to the meanings.
SIFAT MA-’ANAWIYYAH


TO CONTINUE ....


“Praise be to Allah Who hath sent to His Servant the Book,
and hath allowed therein no Crookedness: (He hath made
it) Straight (and Clear), in order that He may warn (the
godless) of a terrible Punishment from Him, and that He
may give Glad Tidings to the Believers who work righteous
deeds, that they shall have a goodly Reward. Wherein
they shall remain forever:”

(Qur’an: Kahfi: 18: 1-3)


“Further that He may warn those (also) who say
"Allah hath begotten a son": No knowledge have they
of such a thing, nor had their fathers. It is a grievous
thing that issues from their mouths as a saying. What
they say is nothing but falsehood!

(Qur’an: Kahfi: 18: 4-5)


“It is He (Allah) who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad)
with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, to proclaim it over
all religion: and enough is Allah for a Witness.”

(Qur’an: Fath: 48: 28)


“O Prophet! Truly We have sent thee as a Witness, a Bearer of
Glad Tidings, and a Warner―And as one who invites to Allah's
(Grace) by His leave, and as a Lamp spreading Light.”

(Qur’an: Ahzab: 33: 45-46)


“And We sent down the Book to thee for the express purpose that
you should make clear to them those things in which they differ,
and that it should be a guide and a mercy to those who believe.”

(Qur’an: An-Nahlu: 16: 64)


Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks
out its brain, and behold falsehood doth perish! Ah! woe
be to you for the (false) things ye ascribe (to Us).

(Qur’an: Anbiya’:21: 18)


“And say: "Truth has (now) arrived, and Falsehood perished:
for Falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish.“

(Qur’an: Isra’: 17: 81)


“Say thou: "This my way: I do invite unto Allah― on evidence
clear as the seeing with one's eyes I and whoever follows me:
Glory to Allah! and never will I join gods with Allah!"

(Qur’an: Yusuf: 12: 108)


“And pursue not that of which thou hast no knowledge;
for every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in)
will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).”

(Qur’an: Isra’: 17: 36)


“Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands
out clear from Error”

(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 256)


“O Messenger! proclaim the (Message) which hath
been sent to thee from thy Lord. If thou didst not thou
wouldst not have fulfilled and proclaimed His Mission:
and Allah will defend thee from men (who mean
mischief). For Allah guides not those who reject Faith.”

(Qur’an: Hijr: 5: 67)


“We have, without doubt sent down the Message; and
We will assuredly guard it (from corruption). ”

(Qur’an: Hijr: 15: 9)


“This day have those who reject Faith given up all hope of
[you ever forsaking] your religion: do not then hold them
in awe [nor fear them], but stand in awe [and fear] Me.

This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed
my favour [blessings] upon you, and have chosen for you
Al-Islam as your religion.”
(Qur’an: Maa-idah: 5: 4)


REFLECT DEEPLY WHAT HE SAID
IN HIS FAREWELL SERMON:


REFLECT DEEPLY WHAT HE SAID
IN HIS FAREWELL SERMON:

“O Mankind! Verily Satan has lost all hope that he will
ever be worshipped on this earth forever, but if you obey
him in other deeds (acts which may seem to you to be)
petty (or small), it will please him. So be very careful of
(following) him (regarding these) in your religion.”

(Excerpt from the “Seerah” by Ibnu Hisham, “al-Iqd-ul
Farid” by Ibnu Abdi Rabbih and Bukhary’ s “Saheeh”)


REFLECT DEEPLY WHAT WAS SAID:


REFLECT DEEPLY WHAT WAS SAID:

“Verily, what I fear the most for my community (ummah)
is SHIRK (ascribing partners) to Allah.

I am not saying that they will worship the sun or the
moon or idols, but it is in their being insincere in doing
good deeds, not intending it for Allah’s sake but only to
please their hidden desires.”

(Hadith reported by Ibnu Majah in “Kitab Az-Zuhdu”)


“The SHIRK within my ummah is more hidden (subtle)
than a black ant crawling on a black rock,
in the darkness of the night”
(Hadith reported by Ahmad, Tabarani & Abu Ya’la)


“O ye who believe! Take not into your intimacy (bitwaa-nah*)
those outside your ranks; they will not fail to corrupt you.
They only desire your ruin: rank hatred has already appeared
from their mouths; what their hearts conceal is far worse. We
have made plain to you the Signs, if ye have wisdom.

(Qur’an : Aali’Imran: 3:118)

*bitwaa-nah : advisors, consultants, protectors, intimate friends, helpers ...

“If anyone contends with the Messenger even after
guidance has been plainly conveyed to him, and follows
a path other than that becoming to men to Faith, We
shall leave him in the path he has chosen, and land him
in Hell, what an evil refuge.”
(Qur’an: An-Nisa’: 4: 115)


Imam Muhammad ibnu Sirrin (rh.a) advices and warns us Muslims:

”Verily this is knowledge (contains the rules) of the DEEN (Religion),

so look thoroughly into the person from whom

you acquire (the knowledge of) your DEEN (Religion).”


RELEVANT EXCERPTS FROM “Introduction to the Approach to Study FIQH”

TEACHER : AN IMPORTANT QUALIFICATION

• When we speak of learning and education in Islam, the role of the
learned scholar – MU’ALLIM, the USTAZ (teacher) whose capacity is also
as a MU-ADDIB (Educator) who provides IRSHADAH (spiritual guidance)
etc., cannot be overlooked.
• Remember, the ‘ULAMA is an ‘institution’ within the persons or the
personalities - and cannot be ‘hijacked’ by the corporate people as
though to refer to organizations, bodies, schools etc.




• The proper development of Islamic teachers : with the correct belief,
worldview, passion and committed to DA’WAH, who understand the
AMANAH (Trust) which they are supposed to be shouldering, constantly
vigilant regarding the challenges to the UMMAH etc. - is the most vital
consideration.
• Without this factor – the teachers, their training and their development
- it is rather useless to speak of any curriculum.




• Unfortunately today, certain people’s obsession with only producing
texts, experimenting with educational aids and latest in information
technology , overawed by other system of learning, that they
inadvertently ignored the difference in the Islamic educational
philosophy, the aims, approach and objective etc. until Muslims are
learning ‘Islam’ merely as subjects, rather than subjecting themselves
to ‘Islam’.




• Thus, the tendency towards teaching FIQH as subjects to be taught
according to whatever text / books popularly chosen may be
predominant. And given that most of these books were written as
reference manual on FIQH, the class should rather focus on students
understanding, inculcating the appreciation of how relevant these
rulings are to Muslims in life.
• Therefore this depends much upon who is teaching FIQH.



CHALLENGES AND DEVELOPMENT

• It must be noted that today, with the availability of easy access to
books and information on the internet; with greater reliance to self-
study rather than undergoing right tutelage under the guidance of
competent teachers; with the proliferations of ideologies of groups
promoting unknown agendas in the name of Islam; - Muslims being
deprived of a competent teacher’s guidance in FIQH should be a very
grave concern - indeed.




• Indeed it is alarming, with people entering discourses and meddling in
Islam beyond their competency (by Muslims and even non-Muslims),
and compounded by the relative ignorance of general Muslims
regarding their own basics knowledge of their DEEN.
• Especially when this involves specialized fields and subjects, for which
they do not have any authority to be giving their opinion to the public.




• Can any one claim the right to be involved in giving or engaging in
serious discourse in other specialised fields like medicine or
engineering without adequate knowledge?
• Or even if one knows something about draughtsmanship or have
read medical journals, without the proper training and approval of
the true practitioners in their respective fields, messing in these
would be deemed a crime – wouldn’t it?
• Then, all the more our caution should be in matters of the DEEN
which concerns our eternal soul.

“O Allah! I seek refuge with You from committing SHIRK i.e. associating
others with You, knowingly, and I seek Your forgiveness from the
committing of the sins (of SHIRK) which I do not know.”
(Hadith reported by Ahmad, Tabarani & Abu Ya’la)

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH,
MOST COMPASSIONATE,
MOST MERCIFUL.

EXTRACTED FROM “NAHJUL BALAGHAH” (PEAK OF ELOQUENCE)


IN THE NAME OF ALLAH,
MOST COMPASSIONATE,
MOST MERCIFUL.

Praise is due to Allah
whose worth cannot be described by speakers,
whose bounties cannot be counted by calculators
and whose claim (to obedience) cannot be satisfied
by those who attempt to do so,
whom the height of intellectual courage cannot appreciate,
and the divings of understanding cannot reach;



He for whose description no limit has been laid down,
no eulogy exists, no time is ordained
and no duration is fixed.
He brought forth creation through His
Omnipotence, dispersed winds through His Compassion,
and made firm the shaking earth with rocks.



The foremost in religion is the acknowledgement of Him (Allah),
the perfection of acknowledging Him is to testify Him,
the perfection of testifying Him is to believe in His Oneness,
the perfection of believing in His Oneness is to regard Him
Pure,
and the perfection of His purity is to deny Him attributes,
because every attribute is a proof that it is different from
that to which it is attributed and everything to which
something is attributed is different from the attribute.



Thus whoever attaches attributes to Allah recognises His like,
and who recognises His like regards Him two; and who regards
Him two recognises parts for Him; and who recognises parts
for Him mistook Him; and who mistook Him pointed at Him;
and who pointed at Him admitted limitations for Him; and who
admitted limitations for Him numbered Him.



Whoever said “in what is He?” held that He is contained; and
whoever said on what is He held He is not on something else.
He is a Being but not through phenomenon of coming into being.
He exists but not from non-existence. He is with everything but
not in physical nearness. He is different from everything but not
in physical separation. He acts but without connotation of
movements and instruments. He sees even when there is none
to be looked at from among His creation. He is only One, such
that there is none with whom He may keep company or whom
He may miss in his absence.


“Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power!
(He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!
And Peace on the Messengers!
And praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.”
