11RABI-UL-AAKHIR - JAMADIUL AAKHIR 1437 FEB 2016-APR 2016

From amongst the heretic beliefs of

the ‘Wahaabiyah’ are,

1 Allah can lie,

2 Muhammad is just a normal

human like us,

• He does not know what will

happen to him,

• He is dead, he cannot hear us, he

cannot see us,

• He has no authority in any matter,

• He can not be used as a means to

reach Allah,

3 All Prophets and Messengers and

Awliya are worse than dirt in the

court of Allah,

4 Thinking of the Prophet duringsalah is worse than thinking of a

donkey,

5 Voting in a non-Muslim country

for a non-Muslim government is

shirk (polytheism),

6 Following a man-made law, is

shirk,

7 Allah has body parts like we do,

8 Allah moves from one place to

another

9 Allah sits and stands on and fromHis throne etc.

May Allah forbid and may Allah protect

us from these kufriyah beliefs.

These are only some of the beliefs

of the ‘Wahaabiyah’ sect and it is

from this sect that the ‘Deobandiyah’

sect appeared in the Sub-Continent.

One can see the similarities in the

beliefs by studying the ‘Deobandiyah’

books of Fataawa like the Fataawaa

Rasheediyah of Rasheed AhmadGangohi.

Imam Bukhari has recorded

several traditions of the Prophet

Muhammad in his Saheeh from

Sayyiduna Ali Ibn Abi Taalib and Abu

Sa’eed Al-Khudri, Allah is pleased

with them both, regarding a people

that will come in this nation from

the East who will perform Salah in a

manner that we will find our Salah tobe inferior, they will fast in a manner

that we will find our fast to be inferior

and their actions will be such that we

will find ours inferior. They will recite

the Qur’aan (beautifully) but it will not

pass below their throats. They will

leave Islam (instantaneously) like the

arrow leaves its game or target and

they will not return to Islam unless

the arrow returns to its bow (by itself

which is never). These people will kill

the Muslims and leave the idolators.

In a narration, one of their signs that

are mentioned in Bukhari is that their

beards will be thick and their heads

shaven. The Messenger of Allah

also said that if I were to find the

time of these people then I would kill

them like the killing of the people of

Thamood.

It is clear that Salah is invalid behindan Imam who follows such a sect

whether it is the five times daily

Salah or the Friday afternoon Salah.

The rightly guided Scholars of the

Ahl Al-Sunnah have said and written

in various edicts that performing

prayer behind Imams of these sects

who hold such heretic beliefs is the

same as performing prayer behind

a Hindu or Sikh Imam, may Allah

forbid, for reference please see Al-Ataaya Al-Nabawiyah Fi Al-Fataawa

Al-Ridwiyah. This is simply because

these nominal Muslims have left

the boundaries of Islam and are

wondering lost in the realms of kufr.

Anyone who has faith in his heart and

genuinely cares about his worship

will never compromise to perform

his prayer behind such individuals

who follow the ‘Wahaabiyah’ or

‘Deobandiyah’ sects.

If there is no other Imam then onemust pray individually and instead

of the Friday afternoon prayer, one

should perform the Zuhr Salah.

The Messenger of Allah said

regarding the people of innovation

(those who innovate a new path that

is against the path of the Prophet

Muhammad, peace and blessings

be upon him, and the path of his

companions, Allah is pleased withthem),

“Do not sit with them, do not eat with

them, do not drink with them, do not

say salam to them, do not visit them

when they are sick, do not perform

salah with them and do not perform

their Janazah salah when they die.”

In Fataawa Mustafawiyah, it clearly

says that it is impermissible to

perform prayer behind those who

openly sin. If that is the case regarding

those who openly sin then what must

be the case of those who openly hold

heretic beliefs as mentioned above?

Imam Mufti Al-A’zam Mustafa Rida

Al-Hanafi Al-Qadiri, Allah is pleased

with him quotes a Hadith of the

Messenger of Allah,

“When a faasiq is honored, the Lord

becomes angry and the arsh tremblesdue to it.”

The great Mufti of his era writes that

what more honor can be given to a

person than making him the leader in

the religious affairs (Salah).

Therefore, it is clear that prayer

behind such heretics causes the anger

of Allah and is not only impermissible

but invalid.

We are ordered to judge people

according to that which is apparent

upon us and not according to our

guesses and assumptions. If there is

a person who is apparently a Muslim

then we must accept the person as

a Muslim and not make assumptions

unless there are signs that have

otherwise become apparent. If there

is a person who is a Muslim and

apparently fulfills the conditions of

Imaamah (leadership in prayer) thenone may perform his prayer behind

him. The Messenger of Allah said,

“The order/law is according to that

which is apparent and I have not

been ordered to look into the people’s

hearts and to rip open their chests (to

see what is inside).”

However, if this apparently fit for

Imaamah person is leading the prayerin a Qaadiyani, Shi’ah or Wahaabi

Masjid then it is apparent and clear

who he is and Allah knows best.
