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]

"This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin – then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." [5:3]

The above Ayaat clearly reveal the impressibility of accepting and implementing revelation partially. To be averse to anything from the Quraan, the Sunnah or the Shar'iah nullifies ones Islam because Allah said:

"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]

Anyone who frequents a Masjid or follows an Imaam propagating such opinions must immediately seize to attend/participate and support in any way including the attendance of congregational prayers, lectures, etc., and to immediately stop following such an Imaam.

The Muslim must be upon the entire message of Islam, and it is not permissible for him/her to pick and choose. The Muslim must be on the Islam or Shar'iah which the Prophet (saws) left for us upon his death, with no exclusion of any period of his life. The following verses of the Quraan and Ahadith clearly state the necessity of following the entire message, while these so-called Islamic organizations and Imaams bring no evidence from the sources of Islam for their ludicrous declaration. Allah says in the Quraan:

"Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest? Then what is the recompense of those who do so among you, except disgrace in the life of this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be consigned to the most grievous torment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do."[2:85]

"It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error." [33:36]

"And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)." [59:7]

The Prophet Muhammad (saws) said: “None of you believes (has Imaan) until his desire or inclination is in accordance with what I have brought or subservient to what I came with.” [Imaam An-Nawawi says: We have related it in Kitab al-Hujjah with a Sahih chain of narrators]

The Prophet Muhammad (saws) also said: "So for you is to observe my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly-principled and rightly-guided successors, holding on to them with your molar teeth. Beware of newly-introduced matters, for every innovation (bid’ah) is an error.” [At-Tirmidhi - Graded Sahih]

Clearly, the above Ahadith command us to take everything from the Prophet (saws) during his entire life/mission in both Makkah and Madinah, and including the commands of the Rightly guided caliphs. They by no means suggest even remotely that we pick and choose in accordance with certain periods of time of the Prophet’s (saws) life.

And indeed Allah alone knows best !
