Al Ghaneeya page 90 Volume 1 Part 2
Rasul said my Umamh will be divided in the 73 Sects only will attain Paradise
others in Hell.of the 73 Sects there are 10 including la Marhaba.la Marhaba
is the 10th Fiqh including Fiqha Hanafi
Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani's deemed Abu Hanifa and his followers to be in the
fire
Whilst discussing the Sects that are in the Fire, Shaafi scholar- Ghaneeyuth al
Talibeen pages 62 63 (printed in Egypt):
"There exist 12 sects of the marijee the Jahimiyya, Saleheeya, Shamneeya,
Yunuseeya, Yuhnaaniya, Bukharia, Gilania, Shahbibeeya, Hanafeeya, Mahzeeya,
Muriseeya, Kharameeya. These are all Marijee as they believe that once an
individual has recited the Shahada, no matter how many sins you then commit,
you will attain paradise, since iman is connected with heart not woth one's
deeds, practices are a part of the Sharia iman reamains stagnant. People
cannot supercede others on iman, the iman of Prophets, Angels and ordinary
people are equal, iman neither goes up nor down, it does not lessen by words
that are recited, even an indivisual fails to practice he remains a momin. Imam
Numan bin Thabit stated that iman comprises of recognising Allah, his Rasul
(s) and Angels".
13.51 Ibn Qutayba condemned Abu Hanifa
In al Maarif page 168, Ibn Qutayba said
"Abu Yusuf and Muhammad bin Hasan are the people of Marhaba (Zindeeq -
sinners) Ibraheem Timmee, Abu Mu'awiya and Abu Hanifa and his two student Qadi
Abu Yusuf and Muhammad bin Hasan"
In Istakhsa page 224 Ibn Jauzi states Marhaba are Zindeeeq
In Istakhsa page 228 quotes a comment that if Abu Ysus allowed acohol via Qiyas
if he lived a little longer he would allow relations with women and men ie
homosexuality).
13.52 Hanafis and Hanbalis have issued takfeer against each
other
Ishthaksa page 264 quoting Sharh Aqaid
Azdeeya "Muhsin Kashmiree and Shahabodeen Gazrooni that the Ashari Sunnis have
called Hanabali Sunni Kaafir and Hanbalis have called Hanafi kaafir".
13.53 Hanafi Fatwa cursing those that oppose Abu Hanifa
Maulana Abdul Hai in his book Fatwa page 155, chapter "Taqleed wal ijtihaad" states:
"Ibne Maalik had stated that on matters of Fiqh the people adhere to Abu
Hanifa - may Allah curse be on those that have mocked his Fatwas"
This encompasses the other three Imams who condemned Abu Hanifa.
13.54 Wahabies believe everyone else is kaafir
In Kitab Shaamee page 339 Volume 3
(Printed Egypt):
Abdul Wahab's followers left Najd and illegally occupied Makka and Madina. These Najdi's claimed to
follow Ibn Hanbal but in fact their aqeedah is that only they are Muslim
whoever does not follow their aqeedah is kaafir. It was on the basis of this
aqeedah that they considered it halaal to kill the Ulema of Ahl'ul Sunnah.
13.55 Why did we cite these references?
We have in this section sought to prove how
divided the Ahl'ul Sunnah are themselves and shown that throughout history
those from different madhabs have spent theit time insulting one another,
Muslims have been divided because of these baseless attacks and it is sad that
these Nasibis are now seeking to continue this atmosphere of division by
targeting the Shi'a with their campaign of takfeer against them. They go to
enormous lengths collecting fatwas against Shi'a by doing so they feel that
they are carrying out some religious duty for the Sunnis, but their mission is
without foundation
14.
The true'
position on the Shi'a
14.1
The Nasibi
Takfeer campaign against the Shi'a cannot be supported by the Qur'an or Sunnah
The Nasibi can collect as many fatwas
against the Shi'a from the Salafi / Deobandi Imams as they like, the fact of
the matter is that these mean nothing since they cannot be supported by the
Qur'an and Sunnah:
We read in Surah Hujuraat verse 14, Allah (swt) says:
"The bedoins say: 'We have believed'. Say to them 'You have not
believed, say instead 'We have acceoted Islaam' for true belief has not entered
into yout hearts. But if you obey Allah and his Messenger you will not lose any
of your good deeds for verily Allah is most forgiving most merciful".
These bedoins clearly had defects in their faith and even Allah (swt) did NOT
even declare them Kaffir so could you explain to me how your Ulema have issued
takfair on millions of Muslims?
14.2
Defining a Momin
Furthermore we would appeal to those with
open minds to ponder over Surah Baqarah verses 1-5 where the Almighty has
defined the meaning of Al-Muttaqin (the righteous).
"Alif Lam Mim. This is the Book whereof there is no doubt, a guidance
to those who are righteous, who believe in the unseen, and offer prayer, and
spend of what We have provided them, And who believe in that which is revealed
to thee (Muhammad) and that which was revealed before thee, and who are certain
of the Hereafter. They follow the guidance (which comes) from their Lord; and
they are the ones who will prosper."
These Qur'anic verses inform us of the requirements which, if a person fulfills
them, he will be of the righteous people, and whoever is righteous, is a Muslim
and a believer.
These requirements are the following:
To believe
in the unseen (as we believe in the Creator and the Hereafter without
seeing them).
To offer
the five daily prayers.
To spend, in
the way of God, a portion of the wealth God had provided us (by paying
Zakat).
To believe
in that which God has revealed to His Messenger Muhammad.
To believe
in that which was revealed to all Messengers before Muhammad.
To believe
in the Hereafter.
Thus, whoever meets these six requirements,
as indicated by the first verse, will be righteous, and as indicated by the
last verse, will be well-guided and successful.
Here, we can say that every Muslim who is committed to the principles of Islam
will meet all the requirements. Since the Shi'a like Ahl;'ul Sunnah bel;ieve in
these principles then on what basis are these Nasibis calling Shi'as kaafir?
14.3
Defining Iman
We read in Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 1, page
19 that Talhah Ibn Ubaydullah reported that a Bedouin had the following
dialogue with the Messenger:
The Bedouin: What is Islam?
The Messenger: Five daily prayers.
The Bedouin: Do I have to add to them any prayer?
The Messenger: No, unless you volunteer. And fast in the month of Ramadhan.
The Bedouin: Do I have to add to it any other fast?
The Messenger: No, unless you volunteer. Then he mentioned to him the
prescribed charity.
The Bedouin: Do I have to add to it?
The Messenger: No, unless you volunteer.
The Bedouin: By God, I shall not add to these; nor shall I subtract from them.
The Messenger: The bedouin has succeeded if he is true.
These are the requirements to be a Muslim, possessed by Sunni and Shia
alike. So rather than blindly following your leaders do some homework.
14.4
The Ulema of Ahl'ul
Sunnah have warned against issuing takfeer on Muslims
Imam Abu Hanifa said we don't consider
anyone who prays to Qibla to be a kaafir and this is the belief of majority of
Ulema (Sharh Muwafaq page 726 (Luckonow) Sharh Maqasid Volume 2 page 269
(Istanbul) Sharh Fiqh Akbar page 189 (Kanpur)
Abu Hanifa wrote in his will "The followers of Muhammad can be sinners but they
are momin NOT kaafor" (al Jahur athul Maneefa Sharh Waseeyul Imam Abu Hanifa
page 6 printed Hyderabad Deccan)
Imam Shaafi "I do not considfer anyone who prays to be kaafor on account of his
sins" Al yawaqeeuth wa'l jawahir Volume 2 page 126 (Cairo)
Shara Muwaqif page 726 "The Scholars of fiqh are in agreement that it is NOT
permissible to vall anyobe kaafoir whp prays in the direction of Qibla"
(Lucknow)
14.5
Shia are Muslim -
Fatwa of Grand Mufti Shaltoot
What follows is the Fatwa (religious
verdict/ruling) of one of the Sunni world's most revered scholars, Shaikh
Mahmood Shaltoot with regard to the Shia. Shaikh Shaltoot was the head of the
renowned al-Azhar Theological school in Egypt,
one of the main centers of Sunni scholarship in the world. It should be of
interest to know that a few decades ago, a group of Sunni and Shia scholars
formed a center at al-Azhar by the name of "Dar al-Taqreeb al-Madhahib
al-Islamiyyah" which translates into "Center for bringing together
the various Islamic schools of thought". The aim of the effort, as the
name of the center indicates, was to bridge the gap between the various schools
of thought, and bring about a mutual respect, understanding and appreciation of
each school's contributions to the development of Islamic Jurisprudence, among
the scholars of the different schools, so that they may in turn guide their
followers toward the ultimate goal of unity, and of clinging to one rope, as
the well-known Quranic verse, "Hold fast to the Rope of Allah and do not
diverge" clearly demands of Muslims.
This massive effort finally bore its major fruit when Shaikh Shaltoot made the
declaration whose translation is appended below. It should be made
unequivocally clear as well, that al-Azhar's official position, vis a vis the
propriety of following any of the Madhaahib, including the Shi'ite Imami
school, has remained unchanged since Shaikh Shaltoot's declaration.
Head Office of al-Azhar University:
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE BENEFICENT, THE MERCIFUL
Text of the Verdict (Fatwa) Issued by His Excellency Shaikh al-Akbar Mahmood
Shaltoot, Head of the al-Azhar University,on Permissibility of Following
"al-Shia al-Imamiyyah" School of Thought
His Excellency was asked:
Some believe that, for a Muslim to have religiously correct worship and
dealing, it is necessary to follow one of the four known schools of thought,
whereas, "al-Shia al-Imamiyyah" school of thought is not one of them
nor "al-Shia al-Zaidiyyah." Do your Excellency agree with this
opinion, and prohibit following "al-Shia al-Imamiyyah al-Ithna
Ashariyyah" school of thought, for example?
His Excellency replied:
1) Islam does not require a Muslim to follow a particular Madh'hab (school of
thought). Rather, we say: every Muslim has the right to follow one of the
schools of thought which has been correctly narrated and its verdicts have been
compiled in its books. And, everyone who is following such Madhahib [schools of
thought] can transfer to another school, and there shall be no crime on him for
doing so.
2) The Ja'fari school of thought, which is also known as "al-Shia al-
Imamiyyah al-Ithna Ashariyyah" (i.e., The Twelver Imami Shi'ites) is a
school of thought that is religiously correct to follow in worship as are other
Sunni schools of thought. Muslims must know this, and ought to refrain from
unjust prejudice to any particular school of thought, since the religion of
Allah and His Divine Law (Shari'ah) was never restricted to a particular school
of thought. Their jurists(Mujtahidoon) are accepted by Almighty Allah, and it
is permissible to the "non-Mujtahid" to follow them and to accord
with their teaching whether in worship (Ibadaat) or transactions (Mu'amilaat).
Signed,
Mahmood Shaltoot.

Imam of Ahl'ul
Sunnah Shaykh Muhammad Ghazzali's Fatwa that Shi'as are Muslim
Ghazzali writing in "Dhufaa Anil Aqeedah Al
Shareeya Thud Muthaan al Mustharikeen page 256"
"Someone approached me in anger and said how did that the Shaykh of Azhar give
this fatwa that Shia are Muslims, I said what do you know of the Shi'a after
silence he said they are no on our deen, he replied I have seen the fast and
pray like we do, he then said in amazement "How?"
I said to him "You should know that they read the Qur'an and believe in Rasul,
perform Hajj, he said I heard that they believe in another Qur'an and that in
disrespect of the Qur'an they attend Makka, I said to this man you are
disabled! People say this to disgrace others.
14.7
Imam of Ahl'ul
Sunnah Abu Muhammad Zuhra declared the Shi'a to be Muslims
Tareekh ul
Madhaib il Islameeya page 39 "There is no doubt that Shia fiqh is an Islamic
one, if the Sabi Sect considers Ali God we these people as out of Islam,
Shia's are a Musim Sect, for we know that the Shi'a Ithna Askariyyya consider
Sabai's kaafir, Ibn Saba was "Mohovy" there is no doubt that everything thje
Shia say is based on the Qur'an and hadith of Rasulullah (s)
On page 52 he says:
"they sit with their Sunni neighbours and near ones with love and do not hate
them".
14.8
Shaykh Hasan
Ayub's Fatwa about the Shi'a
"Of the Islamic Sects Shi'a is the OLDEST
one, there are different Sects some have gone extreme some in the middle way
praised Ali ibn abi Talib and don't consider the other Sahaba as kaafor and
liars" (Tabseethul Aqaid Islameeya page 300)
