Since the Shari'ah of Islam is the Haqq till the day of Judgement and it is complete hence there is no need to refer to any other Shari'ah,
nor should one attempt to reconcile Islam by mixing practices of other
beliefs with it, i.e. to believe democracy is acceptable in Islam.
Allah has revealed all the rules and regulations in Shari'ah of Islam needed till the day of Judgement hence there is no need to refer to any other Shari'ah.
An Ikhawani deviant said, “Despite the fact that the Shari'ah is a way of life, there many issues which the Shari'ah
never spoke about, therefore we need take from what intellectual
schools have understood i.e. democracy, socialism or any other views
from different schools of thought.”
This statement contradicts the belief that the Shari'ah is complete and solution for all matters of life. The one who claims that the Shari'ah of Islam is needy for man-made law has declared a statement which is Kuffr akbar.
Then Shari'ah
of Islam is belongs to Allah and to Allah belongs the perfect names and
attributes. It is an absurd notion to say Allah is perfect but His Shari'ah
has defection. To say one has defection in their word means defection
in their attribute, and Allah is free from all defections. The Qur’aan
is the Word of Allah and Sunnah is that which has been inspired by Allah
and both are infallible.
The completion of the Deen necessitates one not to refer to any other Shari'ah nor to introduce any new matters (Biddah) and claim it to be part of the Deen.
Ayesha (ra) reported that the Messenger Muhammad (saws) said: “Whoever introduces into our matter (religion) that which is not a part of it, will have it (his innovation) rejected.” [Bukhari & Muslim]
The principle: Iktimaal ul- Shari'ah will
prevent one from deviating towards any false ways, or to mix Islam will
any false ways, i.e. in Iraq, the governing body say Islam is one of
sources of legislation. This is a Kuffr notion because Islam should be
the ONLY source of legislation.
History bears testament of the Shari'ah of
Islam. For over 1300 years Islam was implemented and was root cause for
the prosperity of man in all fields of sciences i.e. biology,
chemistry, astronomy, mathematics, economics, social well being etc. The
only reason why no other Shari'ah can compare to the greatness and perfection is because unlike other ways the Shari'ah of Islam was chosen by the Most Perfect (Allah).
Islam abrogated all Shari'ah
before it and nullified any laws invented after it. However there is
nothing wrong in benefiting from the scientific, mathematical, medical,
technological discoveries made by the Kuffaar in condition that it was
permissible to do so according to the Shari'ah.
In
the history of Islamic rule, Islam spread from west of China all the
way to Spain, the subjects of the state were from different backgrounds,
dialects and languages. However all the people use to arbitrate to
Islam in all matters of life. During the reign of the Khilafah the
zakaat use to be collected and distributed. In every region there were
scholars, judges, and police etc. to govern the affairs of the people.
During that period there was never a moment where people would seek the
solution to their problems to any other Shari'ah, they never went to the Kuffaar to resolve their problems.
Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet (saws) said,
“The Israelis used to be ruled and guided by Prophets: Whenever a
Prophet died, another would take over his place. There will be no
Prophet after me, but there will be Caliphs who will increase in
number.” The Sahabah asked, “What do you order us to do?” Muhammad
(saws) replied, “Give the bayah to the first one amongst them, and give
them their own Haqq (i.e. give him authority for his leadership as long
has rules by Islam and to support, listen and obey in order to
facilitate the implantation of the Shari'ah). Allah is going to account them for what He put in the hand (i.e. the responsibility of ruling by Islam).” [Bukhari]
Therefore issues of the duniya will only be governed in accordance to the Shari'ah. When people separate duniya from the Deen are in actual fact claiming that the Shari'ah has
no role to play in man’s life’s affair. In other words they are
claiming there is Tawheed Rububiyyah but no Tawheed Uluhiyyah. And it is
a known fact the majority of the Shirk is not committed in the
Rububiyyah rather it is in the Uluhiyyah.
The
Deen came to manage all the affairs of man. Whoever denies or separates
politics from the Deen has committed Kuffr-Akbar (great evil [that
equates to apostasy]), and this is the attribute of the secular people.
The Ahkaam of the Deen cannot be restricted to only ritual acts only.
Allah said: “And
no example or similitude do they bring (to oppose or to find fault in
you or in this Qur’aan), but We reveal to you the truth (against that
similitude or example), and the better explanation thereof.” [25:33]
We learn from this Ayah whatever the Kuffaar proposed solution maybe, the Shari'ah will always provide a better solution. The Kuffaar can never compete with the Shari'ah of Allah. Therefore it is not allowed for any who believes that the Shari'ah is perfect and competed, to change it or refer to any other way.
Many
people fail to realize and submit to the famous principle ‘Islam is
superior and nothing can supersedes it’ [This principle is also a hadith
of the Prophet (saws)]. The messenger Muhammad (saws) came to destroy
Shirk, kuffr and Jahilliyah hence no other way/religion/ideology can
supersede, overwrite, mix or co-exist with Islam.
Allah said:
“And most of them believe not in Allah except that they attribute
partners unto Him (i.e. they are Mushrikun -polytheists).” [12:106]
In
this Ayah Allah has explained to us that the majority of the people who
believe in Allah are mushrikun because they mix Islam with something
else.
How can the one who say he believes in Allah and His Word
and then attempt to pollute it by mixing with that which from the Hawah
(desires) of man?
The person who lives amongst the Kuffaar and is
satisfied with their way is a mushrik. The Prophet (saws) declared
Baraa from the Muslim who were satisfied with the Kuffr and Shirk.
The Prophet (saws) said: “I have baraa (disassociation) from those who live between the mushrik and don’t distinguish themselves from them.” [Abu Dawood & at-Tirmidhi]
There
must always be a distinction between the Haqq and the Baatil. Islam is
the complete and perfect Deen unlike all the other present day beliefs
and ideologies. Therefore Muslims must always distinguish themselves
from the ways of the Kuffar.
In the Qur’aan Allah constantly makes the distinction between the Haqq and Baatil, “Say
(O Muhammad to these Mushrikoon and Kafiroon): “O Al-Kafiroon I worship
not that which you worship, Nor will you worship that which I worship.
And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping. Nor will you
worship that which I worship. To you be your religion, and to me my
religion (Islamic Monotheism).” [109:1-6]
No matter what
level of understanding a person may possess, all can acknowledge from
Surah Kafiroon, that there can be no comparison between Islam and any
other belief.
Allah endorses that judgement must be based upon Shari'ah and not that which opposes it (i.e. Hawah),
"And so judge (you O Muhammad) between them by whatever 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).” [5:49]
We must refer to Shari'ah at all time no matter what the situation may be. A person is not permitted to refer to any other Shari'ah because in the verse Allah does not only say that judgement must be based upon Shari'ah but
Allah also orders not follow the Hawah. Allah ordains the believers to
be aware of the Kuffaar hence the believers must have absolute Baraa
from that which is neither based upon Shari'ah nor opposed to the Shari'ah, if it is from the Kuffaar.
Many from the current deviated sects call people towards the Hawah and prevent people from submitting to the Shari'ah.
In many instances these sects attempt to package their ideas by
distorting the understanding of the text, only choosing those text which
correlate with their way of thinking or giving precedence to the mind
over the text.
If one wishes to make
comparison between Ahl-Biddah of the past and present one will conclude
that all the innovated thoughts and ideas of today is linked to the
deviation of the past, the only difference is that the sects of today
have repackaged themselves with different names but in essence they are
the similar to those of the past.
