Those who accept and/or legitimize Homosexuality !

There is no question that any Muslim who views homosexuality or the homosexual act as acceptable and/or legitimate (through speech and/or action) has rejected the related Ayaat from the Quraan and Ahadith regarding this matter, and has consequently entered into a state of kuffr (disbelief).

"But those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), for them is destruction, and (Allah) will make their deeds vain." [47:8]

"That is because they hate that which Allah has sent down (this Quraan and Islamic laws, etc.), so He has made their deeds fruitless." [47:9]

Allah addresses homosexuality in the Quraan by referring to the people of Lut (lot):
"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)?" [7:80]

The First Thing We Lost !

It became a routine.

Each morning, we'd leave our cells and make our way down to the gray door, only to find it locked. So we'd stand there until the guard came to unlock it. Later, however, the morning shift was assigned to a different guard - one who'd conveniently unlock the door before unlocking our cells. I made my way downstairs to nonetheless find a small group waiting at the door. The routine had left them thinking it to be locked. I looked around, asked if anyone had bothered to check the door, then pushed it open and walked out.

Routine wears down your sense of awareness. It turns the mindful into the mindless, and prison is defined by it. A prisoner is confined to the same space, sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and people - all for years on end. The climate of routine is so pervasive in here that many become mindless of much of what they do. Mindlessness gives way to boredom, and boredom gives way to distress.

The world is itself a giant prison, and your life contains its own set of distressing mindless routines. In fact, one of your routines as a Muslim is to remind yourself that you can escape these distressing routines because "indeed, the remembrance of Allah relaxes the hearts." [13:28]

So why don't you always find that relief?

Charity to the Believers V/S Disbelievers ?!?

It has become normal for the organization of Muslims in the West to give part of their charity to non-Muslim causes and organizations. It is absolutely forbidden and unacceptable to do so while there are Muslim in the West and around the world who are poor or destitute. It is especially despicable when such organizations give charity to the non-Muslims as public relations maneuvers to gain the acceptance from the non-Muslim majority in their countries. Such organizations appear to ignore or put aside Allah’s warning regarding such behavior. Allah says:

"And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion." [2:120]

"Let not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than believers. And whoever (of you) does that has nothing with Allah, except when taking precaution against them in prudence. And Allah warns you of Himself, and to Allah is the (final) destination." [3:28]

And, what is even more problematic than what is mentioned above is giving charity to the disbelievers while they are engaged in militarily attacking and killing Muslims around the world, with very little opposition from general population in their respective countries. Such Muslim organizations have become part and parcel of the aggression against other Muslims around the world. Allah says:

Muslimah, her dressing and intermingling !!!

The greatest and most important of all the favors and blessings bestowed by Allah is Islam and the honorable Islamic law, which is derived from the Book of Allah and the Prophetic Sunnah. This Law has outlined all that which is beneficial for mankind in this life and the Hereafter.

One of the virtues of this Law is that its rules and regulations have clearly laid out preventions of all evil and immorality, and all the roads that lead to it which is a protection of the truth and morality. There are many issues for which this Law has laid out preventative measures so that people will not fall into evil, for example on some of the issues of faith, acts of worship and transactions.

However, the most obvious of all of these preventative measures are those related to women and the limits that Allah has defined for them not to exceed. Islam has clearly laid the guidelines for the Muslim woman to adhere to so that her personality remains distinct and her safety, purity, and good conduct are assured.

To those Calling to Democracy and Participating...

Before addressing the subject of the fatwa, we must clearly understand that legislation of parliamentary democracies is by nature subject to the whims and desires of the majority, and many times (as is the case in the United States) by the whims and desires of pressure groups/lobbies. The will of the majority (or of the powerful elements of society) takes precedence over Allah’s legislation/rulings. This is not the model/methodology established by Allah and His Messenger (saws), and is in fact contrary to it. Allah says:
"O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you (from the Muslims/not the kuffar)." [4:59]

"Decidedly the judgment is with none except Allah." [6:57]

"Have you not seen those who claim to have believed in what was revealed to you, (O Muhammad), and what was revealed before you? They wish to refer legislation to Taghut, while they were commanded to reject it; and Satan wishes to lead them far astray." [4:60]

Allah clearly legislates that whoever rules by other than what Allah has sent down is a disbeliever.

"And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed – then it is those who are the disbelievers." [5:44]

FATWA:
 

Kashf ash-Shubuhat fit-Tawhid, PART-14

Last week, we finished speaking about the sixth misconception that the author talks about. So, who knows what it was?...So, the last thing that we talked about was that when people say that the things that they are doing aren’t shirk, and they give specific reasons for that, and they bring false arguments and they’ll say that, for example, “Du’a can’t be worship”, then they give some reason why, and they tie all of these things to the heart, and they say that something can only be worshipped if it’s in the heart and so on.

So, alhamdulilah, we discussed this and we clarified that these claims are false, so we’ll move onto the seventh misconception that the author mentions. So, the next one he says is,

“So, if this person says…” 

So, now he’s talking about someone who is calling to shirk or calling to something that they think is from Islam, or they think is permissible in Islam, but is actually something that’s shirk, so going to the graves or going certain places and calling upon their Shaykhs and calling upon the people who they call their ‘Awliya and their Sayyid and things like this. So, if someone makes these claims, one of the misconceptions that they’ll bring is that they’ll say that,

“Yes, the Prophet (saws) declared the people at the time to be disbelievers, but the reason for this wasn’t because they were calling upon the Salihin or calling upon ‘Awliya and so on. The reason for this was because they stated that the Mala’ika or the Angels are the daughters of Allah.” 

So, they’ll that when the Quraysh and the other kuffar at the time, when they would call upon the Anbiya, or call upon the Mala’ika, or call upon the Salihin or call upon their ‘aliha, which were all of those things, or they could’ve been things like their statues and so on and their idols. This wasn’t what prevented them from being Muslims, and this wasn’t what would necessitate them from entering Jahannam. The reason for them being declared as such and treated as such was because they were claiming that Allah has daughters, and that these daughters were the Mala’ika.
 

VOTING - Choosing the Lesser of the Two Evils ?!?

Unfortunately for the Muslims in the West, who are living in the heartlands of the Kuffr and the Shirk, elections are always upon them and for the real Muslim Muwwahid those are a time of great pain and sadness as they see how the kuffaar usurp one of the most important Names and Attributes of Allah, that of al-Hakam al-Adl (the Divine Just Ruler), and direct it to themselves. However, the greater pain is caused because the people who call themselves by Muslims names and attribute themselves to the Muslim Ummah falsely, saying that they care for its concerns, participate in these events, choosing, canvassing and even arguing with their Muslim brethren about which Kaafir they should give their vote to so that they may take office and thereby rule and judge by Kuffr.

Initially, those involved in such activities, being Secularists and involved in all manners of haraam such as selling alcohol, not fulfilling their duties etc, did not care what Islam said on this matter. Rather they became MPs and Ministers for their own pleasures and benefits.

Regrettably, of recent has surfaced a more manifest attack against the Islamic Aqeedah and the Tawheed of Allah, in that so-called Muslims and their groupings, are now calling other Muslims to vote for and choose kuffaar to come into power, citing examples such as the story of Yusuf (as) and the principles of the "lesser of two evils" to further their cases whilst trying to cloak their actions of Shirk by wearing the negligee of Islamic Shariah in an attempt to look and appear legitimate in the eyes of the Muslims.

This article hopes to present some of the Islamic evidences dealing with the issue of voting and whether the Muslims residing in the West or elsewhere are allowed to participate in such activities no matter the so-called benefits.

Following Islam based on the Period of Revelation (Makkan Period) ?!?

This refutation is in regards to the current opinion of pseudo-Islamic organization and pseudo-Imaams (mainly in the West) who have declared that it is permissible for Muslims to live in accordance with a given period of time of the life of the Prophet Muhammad (saws), such as the Makkan period, to the exclusion of other periods of time of the Prophet’s (saws) life, such as the Medinan period. In other words, these organizations and pseudo-Imaams have essentially declared that it is permissible to live by a partial Shar'iah instead of its totality, and as such, it is permissible to disobey Allah and His Messenger (saws). This is in-and-of-itself an opinion contrary to the Shar'iah of Allah and His Messenger (saws), and it is not farfetched to judge anyone who holds and propagates such opinions as entering a state of apostasy, to which one must repent in order to return into a state of Islam/submission to Allah.

The objective of this is to warn people and to prevent them from dying upon kuffr, and consequently entering hellfire. 

"And who does greater evil than he who is reminded of the signs of His Lord, then turns away from them? We shall take vengeance upon the criminals." [32:22]

The following are two Ayaat in the Quraan related to accepting and implementing the entire body of laws from the Quraan and the Sunnah. These following two Ayaat are considered by some scholars of the Quraan from among the last Ayaat to be revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (saws).

"O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely (and perfectly) and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy." [2:208]

Dividing border between Muwalat and Tawalli?

DETAILED DISCUSSION ON TAWALI BY SHAYKH ALI AL KHUDAYR (MAY ALLĀH HASTEN HIS RELEASE)!

The Noble Shaykh, ‘Alī Ibn Khudhayr Al-Khudhayr (may Allāh hasten his release from prison), was asked: “What is the dividing border between Muwālāt and Tawallī? And how do we distinguish between the two?”

The Noble Shaykh answered: “Tawallī to the kuffār is major kufr (kufr akbar), and there is no Tafsīl in it. And it is of four types:

1) Loving (Mahabbah) the kuffār because of their religion. Like the one who loves the people of Democracy for the sake of Democracy, and loves the legislating parliamentarians, and loves the modernists and the nationalists and the likes of them, due to their goals and their beliefs. So this one is a kāfir with the kufr of Tawallī.
He (Most High) said, “O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and Christians as Awliyā’. They are but Awliyā’ of each other. And if any amongst you takes them as Awliyā’, then surely he is one of them.” [Al-Maidah 51]
Because from the meanings of “Walī” is “Muhibb” (one who likes, loves); This was said by Ibn Al-Athīr in “An-Nihāyah” (5/228).

2) Tawallī through aid (Nusrah) and assistance (I’ānah).So whosoever assists the kuffār against the Muslims, then he is a kāfir, murtadd. Like those who help the Christians and Jews against the Muslims. He (Most High) said, “O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and Christians as Awliyā’. They are but Awliyā’ of each other. And if any amongst you takes them as Awliyā’, then surely he is one of them.”

What is "TAGHUT"? Kuffr bit Taghut !

Obey any Law of the Land which Contradicts Quraan or...

Jamil el-Biza praises an apostate aiding kuffār in fighting against the correct teachings of Islām, saying; “May Allāh reward you our Shaykh, I ask Allāh to preserve you”.

No one said it’s allowed to obey any law which contradicts Qur’ān or help the kuffār against Muslims, and that includes those shuyūkh of de-radicalisation!

Imām Ibn Badrān al-Hanbalī (Died 1332AH) mentioned in “Rawdat al-Arwāh” (page 116-118):

❝As for his question; What is your opinion regarding those (kuffār who occupied our lands) and those who love them, and those who hate them? Along with those who comply and obey their commands, while they know that their rules contradict the ruling of the sharī’ah, etc...?

The answer to his question is the following; Allāh the most High said, “Let not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing with Allah, except when taking precaution against them in prudence. And Allah warns you of Himself, and to Allah is the [final] destination.” [3:28]

So Allāh has prohibited the believers from taking the kuffār as helpers, supporters and allies whereby they give allegiance to them upon their Dīn, and they ally with them against the Muslims instead of allying with the believers, and they point towards the secret affairs of the Muslims.

Whoever performs this is disassociated from Allāh and Allāh is disassociated from him, due to his apostasy from his Dīn and entering into Kufr.

Kashf ash-Shubuhat fit-Tawhid, PART-13

So, we’ll continue, last week we left off, we were speaking about the seeking of the Shafa’a from the Prophet (saws) which is something that some of the Mushrikin do when they ask the Prophet (saws) directly for Shafa’a. Either when they go to his grave or even when they’re away from his grave, they’ll ask the Prophet (saws) to give them Shafa’a and sometimes they ask for it, for things in the dunya, for help from the Prophet (saws). 

More specifically when it comes to this point, they ask for the Shafa’a in the Akhirah, but they ask for it now. So, we talked about the author’s word last week and I said we’re going to go into it in a little more detail, and to go step-by-step as how the author tells us to go through this Shubuha’, or go through this misconception insha’Allah so we’ll do that. 

So, the author mentions, if we break his words down, we can find that there’s about 7 steps that he mentions when we’re talking about dealing with this Shubuha’ and people who call to this Shirk. So, the first thing that the author tells us to do is to clearly accept the Shafa’a of the Prophet (saws). So, we would say, because the author tells us how the conversation would go with someone who holds this belief or performs these actions. 

So, he says what they will try to do is say, “if you don’t accept this, if you don’t accept asking the Prophet (saws) for his Shafa’a, this can only mean you reject his Shafa’a to begin with.” Meaning that, you don’t accept that he will intercede for Muslimin on the Day of Resurrection. 

So, the first step that the author says if we tell this person, “No, we accept the Shafa’a of the Prophet (saws) and we hope that Allah will make us from those who are worthy of receiving his Shafa’a either by not going into Jahannam if they were deserving of being so or by being raised higher in Jannah, or any of the types of Shafa’a that the Prophet (saws) will be given on the Day of Resurrection.”
