Many
people have assumed that our deen permits one to join the police,
yet have failed to even ask what is the implications of such action, for
if we say we are Muslim then we must realize that this Deen of Istislam
(Submission) is what we must refer to see if any action is permitted by
the Shar’iah. Those police who are on the front line in the war on Islam and are
desperate to recruit from within the Muslim community anybody willing to
betray their Muslim brothers, to spy and inform about them. What is
surprising is the numbers of hypocrites who rush to answer their call
claiming that “it is because we are not involved with the police that we
are facing calamity from them” But we are not disheartened because
Allah (swt) informed us of those enemies within the Muslim community,
“And yet you can see how those in whose hearts there is disease rush to
(join) them, saying, "We fear lest a calamity comes to us." But Allah
may well bring about good fortune or any event of His own devising,
whereupon those waverers will be smitten with remorse for the thoughts
which they had secretly harboured within themselves.” [5: 52]
So what does Islam say about those from the
Muslims who join the police force? Are they simply contributing to the
society they live in? Are they doing a good deed? Will they receive any
law? What will happen to their Imaan? Will it decrease, increase,
negate? How can any Muslim really claim to love Allah and he joins those
soldiers of the enemy to subjugate Islam
Verily any Muslim who
joins the police force is an apostate from Islam, he is the enemy of
Allah and even the officer who claims he does not believe in the kufr
law in his heart will never be saved by his claim from the sin of his
apostasy. How can a Muslim accept law not legislated by Allah let alone
to enforce it with our tongue and body? Allah (swt) says,
“Is it
that they believe in forces to have a share in Allah’s divinity, which
enjoin upon them as a law something that Allah has never permitted? Now
were it not for Allah’s decree on the final judgment, all would indeed
have been decided between them [in this world]: but, verily, grievous
suffering awaits the evildoers [in the life to come].” [42: 21]
There is no surprise in the animosity of the Kuffar nor in their campaign against Islam and Muslims and their eagerness to compel Muslims to leave the wisdom and guidance of Islam in exchange for the filth of their own man-made law. They call and wish the Muslims to leave the high ranks of Islam and to lower ourselves to the ranks of the Police, and Allah informs us of how our response should be,
“They but wish
that you should become Kafir, the way that they are Kafir, and thus be
on the same footing (as they): But take not friends/allies from their
ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But
if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever you find them;
and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks;” [4: 89]
Verily nobody responds to their call except that disbelieve the way they believe, Allah (swt) says,
“O you who believe! Do not ally to the Jews and Christians (or any
other non-muslims who are all less than them), they are only allies to
each other and whoever allies with them is one of them (i.e. is a Kafir
like them) and Allah does not guide Al Zalimun (i.e. disbelievers,
apostates).” [5: 51]
Al Tabari said about this ayah,
“Whoever allies with them, is one of them, (means) that he becomes from
their deen and their sect, no one allies with someone unless he is on
the same deen, belief or sect, or if he is pleased, happy consenting to
them, and whoever is pleased, happy and consenting to something he
become opposing to what is opposite to it. This is why the hukm of the
mu’min who allies with the kaafir, is the same hukm as the kaafir.”
And Imam Qurtubi said,
“His hukm is like their hukm, he will be prevented from taking
inheritance, the ayah is speaking about ibn Abi Salul, he allied with
the kuffar, his hukm will continue until the day of judgement, that
everyone must boycott any muwalaat with him because he differs with
Allah and his Messenger, he consented to the kuffar and so it becomes
obligatory to declare animosity towards him and them, and hellfire
becomes obligatory on him, the way it is obligatory on them.”
Those Muslims who join the police have left Islam for Kufr and
deserve nothing in the dunya except our hatred and animosity and hatred
and nothing in the hereafter except hellfire. There is no difference of
opinion on it nor should we argue about what they deserve as that is
decided by Allah,
“Why should you be divided into two parties
about the Hypocrites? Allah has upset them for their (evil) deeds. Would
you guide those whom Allah has misguided? For those whom Allah has
misguided, never shall they find the Way.” [4: 88-89]
This ayah
is addressing those who join the ranks of the Kuffar while outwardly
showing Islam, Ibn Kathir quoted ibn Abbas in his tafseer of this ayah:
“This ayah came about a group of Muslims in Makkah who claimed to be
Muslims. They supported the kuffar against the Muslims, they went to
Madina and the people disputed whether to kill them or not, Allah (swt)
said: “kill them wherever you find them.”
So if anybody comes to
you asking you to join the police force, do not be confused about him
and do not respect him nor call him ‘brother’ or ‘sir’, but call him by
his name, ‘Munafiq’ and tell them what they have done,
“Announce the news to such hypocrites that a serious punishment awaits
them, those who take the disbelievers for their allies in preference to
the believers - do they hope to be honoured by them when, behold, all
honour belongs to Allah alone?” [4: 138-139]
And for those who think the police is no more then a job and a salary, we remind them of the saying of the prophet (saw),
"Whoever earns a bite of food by reporting or spying on Muslims, Allah
will feed him the equivalent in the hellfire, and whoever wears clothes
earning from spying against Muslims, Allah will clothe him with
hellfire." [Bukhari - Kitab ul-Adab]
May Allah Make us live and Die as Muslim’s who are true to their Lord-Ameen!

Quoting Quran out of context and using it to justify your ridiculous assumption that the police are the enemy and that those who join it are apostates, I doubt that you're qualified to be saying things like this and should be ashamed that you hold such childish beliefs about the world -- to anyone else reading this, don't be taken in by his misuse of the passages and inability to reason
Hmmmm SubhanAllah interesting!
Generally our Ghurabah Blog isn't open for argumentation or debates, as the Blog serves the purpose of sharing I'lm for the sake of Allah and not enforcing our beliefs upon anyone, because we can only give Da'wah, but the guidance on accepting the Haqq comes from Allah alone! So anyone is free to accept or reject what they believe is not the Haqq on our Blog or if they have another legit opinion or I'jtihaad of an A'lim that they take their I'lm from, Alhumdulillah. However, in your case, we have accepted your comment and published it because we often come across people like you who claim that Astaghfirullah we quote Quraan out of context or use it simply to justify our beliefs, La hawla wala quwwata illah billah!!! Firstly, this Article itself was written by a well-known (Allahumma Barrik lahu) knowledgable (Insha'Allah Ta'ala) Ustadh and he is, Allahumma Barrik lahu, always open to accept debates and argumentation on the correct understanding of our Deen on his Facebook account, so you can openly go and discuss as such with him Insha'Allah if you want further proof on this topic; and secondly the sad part is, you who claim as such about us or the Ustadh that we misuse Ayaat (A'outhoubillah) have yourself not provided a single Ayah or Hadith to prove your point and moreover we are pretty sure, you probably didn't even bother to go and read the Tafseer of the mentioned Ayaat in the Article itself, let alone try to understand in depth the reason of revelation of these Ayaat. Please Insha'Allah for your own sake, for your own Akhirah, do not get offended or emotional and follow your whims and desires in listening to the whispers of the Shayateen to reason with your intellect rather than the Quraan and Sunnah.
And so indeed we say, as Allah has said about those who followed their whims and desires in bringing forth partners with Allah, that:
"....Bring forth your proofs, if you are truthful." [27:64]
And indeed Allah knows best!
