What is the Asl (origin) of the people today?

Question: As-salamu ‘alaykum, what is the Asl (origin) of the people today? With mentioning of evidences…

 

Answer: wa ‘alaykum salam wa rahimahullah wa barakatuh.

 

It may be that the questioner asks with regards to the Asl of the people in the lands of apostasy, and we will answer this question in details by the permission of Allah. So know that, may Allah have mercy upon you, that the ruling of a land does not depend on who lives in it, rather the land is of two types:

 

Land of Islam (Darul-Islam): this is the one that the rulings and attributes of Islam have risen in and the people rule by the ruling of Allah.

 

Land of disbelief or land of war (Darul-Kuffr, Darul-Harb): This is the one that the rulings and attributes of the Shaytaan have appeared, and where the people rule with a ruling that is different to that of Allah.

Allah said proving the Islam of those who lived in the lands of disbelief (like Makkah before its conquering), “They are the ones who disbelieved and obstructed you from al-Masjid al-Haram while the offering was prevented from reaching its place of sacrifice. And if not for believing men and believing women whom you did not know – that you might trample them and there would befall you because of them dishonor without (your) knowledge – (you would have been permitted to enter Makkah). (This was so) that Allah might admit to His mercy whom He willed. If they had been apart [from them], We would have punished those who disbelieved among them with painful punishment” [48:25]

Excuse of Ignorance ?!?

 

Many people are speaking about the excuse of ignorance and people also speak about the one who was given the excuse of mistake and error and so on. But we should always remember that the mistake and error that we are speaking about, is not theoretic issues, it is those issues that are not known by necessity; those issues that are matters of Ijtihaad.

It is for this reason, that when people speak about the excuse of Khata' (mistake) or the excuse of ignorance (Al 'Udhr bil Jahl), they do not understand that that is only given to the one who made a mistake about an issue that was not known by necessity or was an issue of Ijtihaad.

And it is for this reason that we will speak about those who love Allah and all the Messengers and the Sahabah, those who understand the meaning of laa ilaaha illallah and the meaning of al-Kuffr bit-Taghout, Al-Walaa and Al-Baraa, the true Muslims who believe in Allah and Loves Allah and the Messenger and he follows the path of the Sahabah. He will be decisive and he will never stop declaring Takfeer on the one who makes Du’a to something other than Allah, seeking help in something that nobody can help except Allah. That is a big issue and many people are misguided and fall into that.

No solution except with Tawheed and Hadeed !

For Educational purpose only and to raise Intellectual and Political awareness!

Yes, there is no solution except with Tawheed and Hadeed (iron). So Islam, o worshippers of Allah, is a Book that leads and a sword that is sharp. Like the Lord of the worshippers said:
“We have already sent Our Messengers with clear evidences and sent down with them the Scripture and the balance that the people may maintain (their affairs) in justice.” [57:25]

 And that is not all.
“And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might.” [57:25]

Like there is in the Qur’an a Surah with the name al-Qalam (pen), there is a Surah in the Qur’an with the name al-Hadeed (iron) as well. So this is the strong Manhaj, and the Siraat al-Mustaqeem (straight path) that was walked on by the Prophet (saws) who is kareem (noble). And it is described in the previous Books, the Torah and Injeel, like it is mentioned by Imaam Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali: “He is sent with in his hand an educating iron stick.” Meaning the sword. And like it is mentioned by Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim and adh-Dhahabi, that in the Torah the name of the Prophet (saws) is: ‘Ad-Dahuk al-Qattal” (The smiling killer). And it is narrated, but I couldn’t find a chain of narration, from the Prophet (saws) said: “I am the smiling killer.” Ibn Katheer said: “This means that he smiles with his allies, and kills his enemies.” And al-Qattaal (in Arabic) means: "Something that indicates that there is a lot of slain."

The Prophet (saws), as you all know, there is a Surah with the name of al-Qitaal (fighting), and this Surah is, Surah Muhammad (saws). So al-Qitaal (fighting) goes hand in hand with the name of the Prophet (saws) and it can not be separated. That is why Imaam Ahmad has narrated, and this was declared Hasan by al-Hafidh al-’Iraqi, and Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah declared it correct, and the Scholars Ahmad Shakir and Shaykh al-Albani declared it Saheeh; narrated ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “I was sent before the Hour.” What did he say? With what was he (saws) sent? Did he say: “With peace?” Did he say: “With the wings of a pigeon?”

International Law !?!?!

If the scholars do not fulfill their duty to remove this confusion and clarify the path of the criminals, there will be sedition on earth and great corruption.

Resorting to what is called “international law” from the calls that are echoed by some politicians, is intended to mean resorting to man-made laws the West created in order to impose its political hegemony and intellectual vision on the peoples of the world. And because of the widespread circulation of the term in the media, some Muslims – with extreme regret – use this term without realizing its serious creedal implications and dimensions. And it has increased recently after the criminal court ruling on the arrest of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir. Thus we are pleased to present this detailed study to clarify the truth of these astray lawsuits, and the legal position towards them.

One of the most dangerous things Muslims suffer from today is what their enemies from the unbelievers and hypocrites do of misleading and misguiding to the point this has become one of the prominent features of our contemporary reality. The seriousness of this matter has reached the extent to which some of the people of knowledge have been deceived, as well as the general public and masses, by what the wolves in sheep’s clothing do in terms of manipulation of terms and overturning facts and presenting them in decorative molds, putting them in various media with intensity and repetition until the ears become normalized with them and repeated by many Muslim children – sometimes out of malice and other times out of ignorance and neglect.

What increased the danger was the negligence of many scholars to confront these ambiguities, many of which affect the core of ‘aqidah, the pillars of tawhid, and the ummah’s identity and character. If the scholars do not fulfill their duty to remove this confusion and clarify the path of the criminals, there will be sedition on earth and great corruption.

Among the dangerous kufri terms the international media use, followed by many media outlets in Islamic countries who have no creativity, which scholars must expose, explain, and clarify its danger to ‘aqidah, is the term “international law”. Whereas today it is being proposed extensively, asking for the consolidation of this pagan term in the minds of the people by calling them to “respect of international law”, sometimes to “prohibit deviations from international law”, and other times to “abide by the decisions of international law”. So what does this taghuti term mean?

The Mubtadi’ Ahmad ibn ‘Umar al-Hazimi

For Educational purpose only and to raise Intellectual and Political awareness!

After the working ‘Ulama and students of knowledge in the Arabian Peninsula were either killed or imprisoned like Sultan al-‘Utaybi, Nasir al-Fahd, ‘Abdul-‘Aziz at-Tuwayli’i, Faris az-Zahrani, ‘Ali al-Khudayr and many others, or managed to make Hjrah like Abu Malik at-Tamimi, ‘Abdullah ar-Rashud, Abu Anas ash-Shami, and Abu Sufyan al-Azdi; to fill that missing void many misguided heads suddenly became role models in knowledge being propped up as followers of the Salaf with some even taking those sitting back with no excuse as leaders and role models in Jihaad, like at-Tarifi and al-Hazimi. What will conspire in some of the following paragraphs and in some of the points mentioned is from the article written by Shaykh Abu Maysarah ash-Shami entitled, “Al-Hazimi; between the major sin of sitting behind and the misguidance of the Jamiyyah”, as well as other articles written by seekers of knowledge.

Ahmad Ibn ‘Umar al-Hazimi is from one of the heads of the newly formed Jamiyyah that emerged after the old Jamiyyah fell out. The Jamiyyah is the school that is pro-Saudi “Salafi” and they are named after Muhammad Aman al-Jami, who is renowned for his defending the Saudi government when they brought the kuffar armies into the Arabian Peninsula. This school, the older one more so, has also been referred to as and are similar to the Madkhaliyyah, and this is the most popular term since Rabi’ al-Madkhali is more well-known than the former. Though, most from the Madkhaliyyah would not consider those from the Jamiyyah “Salafi” enough, as is known from that soap opera of dramas. This school, the newer one that al-Hazimi belongs to, brought together some statements from Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah in iman and Tawheed such as making Takfeer on the one who leaves the category of actions and on the jahil mushrik but follows the old path of the Jamiyyah in arguing in defense of al Salul, hardly speaking about the reality of tawalli to the Crusaders and the hukm on ruling by other than what Allah has revealed. For example, if al-Hazimi was to speak with regards to these rulings it would be from a theoretical angle with no ties to our realities and with no implementation. So one could say the Jamiyyah are more general in that they are those who ascribe themselves to Salafiyyah while inclining towards the Saudi government, not inciting or speaking about Jihaad or the modern day Crusade and keeping the hukm on those who rule by other than what Allah revealed in theory only.

Prophet (saws) was Patient with his Wives!

Allah has described His beloved Messenger with the words: “Now has come unto you a Messenger from amongst yourselves: it grieves him that you should perish; ardently anxious is he over you; to the Believers he is most kind and merciful. But if they turn away, say: Allah is enough for me: there is none worthy of worship other than He; in Him is my trust; He the Lord of the Throne [of Glory] Supreme!” [9:128] 

The qualities of mercy, kindness, and leniency in the prophet’s personality are best exhibited in his relationship with his wives and these can be seen in the following examples: 
It is narrated by Anas: “Every night the Prophet’s (saws) wives used to collect in the house of the wife whose turn it was. Zaynab entered ‘A’ishah’s house and the Prophet (saws) extended his hand, so ‘A’ishah said: She is Zaynab. So the Prophet (saws) closed his fist, and both (wives) began arguing until their voices became very loud. Abu Bakr, who was passing by, heard them and said, I feel like throwing dirt in their mouths. The time for prayer approached, so the Prophet (saws) got up and left without saying anything to her, but Abu Bakr came back and scolded 'A'ishah.” [Sahih Muslim] 

The Prophet's (saws) patience and kindness can be seen in the way he treated his wives here. Even though they were arguing with each other infront of him, he did not rebuke them. An-Nawawi says regarding this: 
'I feel like throwing dirt in their mouths' is an exaggerated expression to scold them and make them stop arguing. Abu Bakr should be recognized for having the compassion and desire to make peace between the two women, and  the hadith shows even more merit on the Prophet's (saws) part for trying to make peace between the wives (by refraining from saying anything. [Sharh Muslim by An-Nawawi, 10/39]

A few words to my loved ones...

All praise is due to Allah. Peace and blessings on our beloved Prophet (pbuh), his family & his companions.

As to what follows;

This is a humble attempt to discuss significant Islamic misconceptions that have arisen recently in light of events in the Muslim world. Please bear patiently as I proceed, bi'idnilAllah.

Allah Azawjal has described the Quran as, “This is the Book; in it is guidance, without doubt, to those who fear Allah.” (Al-Baqarah:2)

The guidance in the Quran then is unconditional, timeless, and doubtless.

Furthermore, Allah azawjal states in the Quran, “...I have perfected your religion for you, completed my favor upon you, and chosen for you Islam as your religion.” (Al-Ma'idah:3)

Thus, by perfecting Islam, Allah Azawjal has gifted Muslims with a comprehensive guidance in the form of the Quran. Guidance, that covers all aspects of life from the public government to the private existence.

It is incumbent upon Muslims to refer all matters of our lives back to Islam and utilize the Quran, the hadith and the sunnah of our Prophet (pbuh) as the ultimate resources.

“O you who believe, obey Allah and obey His Messenger, and the people in authority among you. And if you dispute over anything, refer it to Allah and His Messenger if you really believe in Allah and the Last Day that is best in terms of consequences."(Al-Imran:59)

Recently, dynamic events have reshaped the governmental structures of the Muslim world. Consequentially, these events have compelled Muslims to adopt opinions without due investigation or diligence. It is unfortunate to hear well-meaning Muslims affirming oaths and avowing misplaced allegiances. As Muslims it is our responsibility to reflect, what does Islam teach about governance and rulers.
