A Sincerity To The Enemy: Shirk And Kufr, The Suu Dai'es Or Ulama's - Mujahidun Assessments
19 January 2011
By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun
All praises belong to Allah,
Rabbul ‘Alamin, may salawat and salam be showered upon
Rasulullah, his family, his sahabahs, as well as the
people who follow them well until the Day of Judgement.
Wa ba'du:
In these sheets of paper, I would
like to express my sincerity to anyone who reads it
from among those who claim to be Muslim, who either
consciously or unconsciously, have fallen into
disbelief (kufr), idolatry (shirk)
and the obvious nullifiers of one's Islam, especially
those from among the enforcers of the man-made laws
(the UUD or Constitution, and the laws derived from
it) or those who give their loyalty to that man-made
laws, with the hope that they become aware of what
exactly it is they are doing, then pull themselves out
of it and quit it for the sake of attaining the
pleasure of Allah Ta'ala and be prevented
from abiding in hell.
The proof of my sincerity is that, I do not ask for
any reward or payment – except the pleasure of Allah
Ta'ala – from you all, in fact I could even
be treated badly by some of you guys, as a result of
this paper which could offend you, but I pray that
some of you may open your hearts to it, to understand
and practice it. And in any case, it is not
appropriate for you to be angry with me because, is it
appropriate for someone to get angry at the person who
tells him that there is dirt on his body? He should be
grateful to him instead.
Know that the main matter, the primary capital of
one's Islam and the very first duty that Allah enjoins
upon mankind, to learn and practice before Salat,
zakat, sawm, hajj and other
ibaadah, is to be kafir towards the
thaghut and to purify the tawheed
towards Allah Ta'ala. And that is the purpose
of creation, the purpose of the missions of the
Mesengers and the revelation of His Books,
"And We certainly sent into
every nation a messenger, [saying],
'Worship Allah and avoid Thaghut.'"
[An-Nahl: 36]
Kafir towards the thaghut and
iman or acknowledging the oneness of Allah
Ta'ala (tawheed) constitute the greatest Islamic
bond, that no person may be safe from the hell without
holding firmly to it, and all ibaadah, be it
Salat, zakat, sawm,
hajj, jihad and others, will not be
accepted without it, because it's the only Islamic
bond that is guaranteed to not be broken, while as for
the other bonds or ibaadah, they are not
enough to guarantee safety from hell without being
kafir towards thaghut and iman
towards Allah.
"But those who have avoided
Thaghut, lest they worship it, and turned back to
Allah - for them are good tidings. So give good
tidings to My servants." [Az-Zumar: 17]
In that verse, Allah Ta'ala gives precedence
to the attitude of kafir towards thaghut
and avoiding them, over the attitude of iman
towards Allah and returning to Him. This is no other
than an emphasis on the importance of the attitude of
kafir towards thaghut in the
realization of the laa ilaaha illallaah,
where the iman towards Allah Ta'ala
has no benefit without kufr (kafir)
towards thaghut. Because indeed the
Shahadah of
لا إله إلا اللهconsists of two pillars: namely لا إله in
which the meaning is kafir towards
thaghut or avoiding them, and إلا الله
in which the meaning is iman towards Allah or
worshiping Him. When one of them is performed, but the
other is not then the Shahadah of
لا إله إلا الله is
not yet valid, although a person is claiming (of
already performing) it, just as the salat has
many pillars and when a majority of them are done but
the pillar of sujud is not done, then a
person's salat is not valid, though he claims
of already performing salat.
Al-Imam Sulaiman Ibnu Abdillah Ibnu Muhammad
rahimahullah said:
ومجرد النطق بلفظ الشهادة من غير علم
بمعناها ولاعمل بمقتضاها منالتزام التوحيد وترك الشرك الأكبر
والكفر بالطاغوت فإن ذلك غير نافعبالإجماع
"just the pronunciation of
the kalimah shahadah without knowing its meaning and
without practicing its consequences in the form of a
commitment to tawheed, leaving the big shirk and kufr
towards thaghut, then indeed it (pronunciation of
shahadah) is not beneficial based on the ijma
(agreement reached by the ulama's)." [Shaikh Ali
Al-Khudlair's Kitab Al-Haqaiq who quoted from Taisir
Al-Aziz Al-Hamid]
Whereas, included amongst the thaghut which
you must deny and the worship of which you must avoid,
so that the shahadah that you declared becomes valid,
is the man-made laws and their inventors, just as
Allah Ta'ala says:
"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 Thaghut, while they were
commanded to reject it." [An-Nisa: 60]
Here, Allah Ta'ala mentions the referenced
laws other than the law of Allah, as thaghut,
whether it is the laws, or the human or institution
that makes them. And the iman of the people
who abandon the law of Allah and instead refer to the
made-made law, is no more than just a claim, and their
acts of referring to that law is contrary to the
attitude of kafir towards thaghut
which has been prescribed. And their acts of referring
to that law is an ibaadah towards the
thaghut, because ibaadah has many forms,
just like sujud, ruku', do'a,
nadzar and slaughtering are ibaadah,
then so is obedience and loyalty to the law, it is an
ibaadah towards the maker of that law, as
what Allah Ta'ala says about the Christians:
"They have taken their
scholars and monks as lords besides Allah…" [At-Taubah:
31]
Because, the deification and ibaadah
(worship) towards the 'alim ulama's and monks
committed by the Christians is not by the sujud,
ruku' and salat given to them, but
because they obey and give loyalty to the laws that
they invented, whether in terms of making halal
(permission) or making haram (prohibition),
such as in the tafseer of the Prophet
Salallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam on that verse when he
said to ‘Adiy Ibnu Hatim:
أليسوا يحلون ما حرم الله فتحلونه
ويحرمون ما أحل اللهفتحرمونه
"Don't they make halal what
Allah forbids and then you make then halal, and they
forbid what Allah makes halal and then you forbid
them?"
Then ‘Adiy said: "Yes, it's true."
Then Rasulullah SAW said: "So that is the worship
toward them."
And the same goes with the issue of replacing the
sanction for adulterers which should be by stoning,
but the Jewish leaders agreed to replace them with the
laws of their own invention i.e. tahmim
(smudging of the face) and flogging, thus verses of
the Qur'an were sent down, which includes:
"And do not eat of that upon
which the name of Allah has not been mentioned, for
indeed, it is grave disobedience. And indeed do the
devils inspire their allies [among men] to dispute
with you. And if you were to obey them, indeed, you
would be associators [of others with Him] (mushrik)."
[Al-An'am: 121]
Where it is explained in this verse, as the reason for
it to be revealed, the debate by the polytheists
against the Muslims, while urging them to approve the
legalization/making halal of carcasses, thus
Allah Ta'ala cautions the Muslims from it,
while warning them that when the Muslims obey them,
even in just one ruling, i.e. making halal of
the carcasses, then they would also become mushrik.
Because the nuzul of this verse is narrated
by Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak from Ibnu ‘Abbas RA with a
saheehsanad.
In fact, the obedience and fidelity to the man-made
laws or the laws of the thaghut can make one
murtad, even to just one ruling, as Allah
says:
"Indeed, those who reverted
back [to disbelief] after guidance had become clear to
them - Satan enticed them and prolonged hope for them.
That is because they said to those who disliked what
Allah sent down, 'We will obey you in
part of the matter.' And Allah knows
what they conceal." [Muhammad: 25-26]
When being faithful and obedient to just one
thaghut law is a cause of murtad, then
what about the people who swear allegiance to all the
made-made laws and rulings?
And what about the people who arrest or investigate
the people who violate that thaghut laws and
drag them to court?
How about the people who ensnare and charge those
people who violated that thaghut laws, as
well as prosecuting them based on that thaghut
laws?
And how about the people who sentenced them according
to that law?
And how about the people who do not confine and do not
release people from prison except with reference to
the guidelines of that thaghut laws?
If you are men of understanding, you will surely know
the answer. Then, what is the solution?
The answer is in the verse of Allah Ta'ala:
فَفِرُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ
"So flee to Allah.."
[Adz-Dzariyat: 50]
Yes, flee and leave the jobs and positions of office
which are shirk and kufr, and
actualize the realization of tawheed by
quitting them….
Free yourselves from other law-makers besides Allah
and from the loyalty to their rules now, while there
is still life before the coming of the days when the
liberation from them will not be helpful anymore:
"Until, when he comes to Us
[at Judgement], he says [to his companion], 'Oh, I wish there was between me and you
the distance between the east and west - how wretched
a companion.' And never will it
benefit you that Day, when you have wronged, that you
are [all] sharing in the punishment." [Az Zukhruf:
38-39]
On that day then you will be sorry of why you have not
become a defender of the teachings of Allah and His
Rasul, and you will regret of why, while
being in this world, you are instead obeying the
leaders and government who are not ruling with the
laws of Allah Ta'ala:
"The Day their faces will be
turned about in the Fire, they will say, 'How we wish we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the
Messenger.' And they will say, 'Our Lord, indeed we obeyed our masters and
our dignitaries, and they led us astray from the
[right] way.'" [Al Ahzab: 66-67]
Then that's when they hope to return to the world, not
to perform salat, sawm, zakat
or hajj because while in the dunya,
there were many of them who diligently perform
salat, sawm, hajj and zakat
as well, but they want to return to the world to free
themselves from their leaders, their government and
superiors, as well as their invented laws, which has
plunged them into kufr:
"[And they should consider
that] when those who have been followed disassociate
themselves from those who followed [them], and they
[all] see the punishment, and cut off from them are
the ties [of relationship]. Those who followed will
say, 'If only we had another turn [at
worldly life] so we could disassociate ourselves from
them as they have disassociated themselves from us.'
Thus will Allah show them their deeds as regrets upon
them. And they are never to emerge from the Fire."
[Al-Baqarah: 166-167]
So while there is a chance now, get out of your job
which is shirk, as well as kafir! Do
not worry about not getting rizq because the
One Who gives rizq is only Allah Ta'ala,
not His creatures whoever they are. Don't you think
that if you leave now you will not be able to have
anything to eat (survive) and support your family, be
assured that when the kafir who oppose Allah
are provided rizq by Allah Ta'ala,
then how could the people who possess tawheed
not given rizq? But Allah Ta'ala
does test His slaves who have tawheed with
the trials of the world in the form of hunger, fear
and others, so be patient in living it.
This is the sincerity coming from me to you all,
without expecting anything in return from you guys...
Don't be deceived by the suudai'e
or ulama's who embellish the truth of your
jobs and allow them, because they are "con men" who
lead you astray, whether because of wanting a little
piece of the dunya that you have with you or
out of fear of your wrath if they don't justify your
jobs…
If you do not believe in I have conveyed, then let us
together wait for the verdict of Allah on the day of
the final judgment…
وصلى
الله على النبي محمد واله وصحبه وسلم والحمد لله ربالعالمين
