Violations of Islam
Brother and sister Muslim, you must be aware that there are
matters which nullify your Islam. We will mention here theten most common
violations. Please be mindful of them.
. The First
Associating partners with Allah (shirk). Allah, the Most High, says, which
read as follows:" Truly, if anyone associates partners with Allah, Allah
will forbid him the garden and his abode will be the Fire; the wrongdoers
will have no helpers". Calling upon the dead, askingtheir help or offering
them gifts or sacrifices are all forms of shirk.
. The Second
Setting up intermediaries between oneself and Allah, making supplication to
them, asking their intercession with Allah, and placing one's trust in them
is unbelief (kufr).
. The Third
Anyone who does not consider polytheists (mushrikeen) to be unbelievers, or
who has doubts concerning their unbelief, or considers their way to be
correct, is himself an unbeliever (kafir).
. The Fourth
Anyone who believes any guidance other than the Prophet's guidance to be
more perfect, or a decision other than the Prophet's decision to be better,
is an unbeliever. This applies to those who prefer the rule of Evil
(Taghout) to the Prophet's rule. Some examples of this are:
a. To believe that systems and laws made by human beings are better
than the Shari'ah of Islam; for example;
- that the Islamic system is not suitable for the twentieth century.
- that Islam is the cause of the backwardness of Muslims.
- Or that Islam is a relationship between Allah and the Muslim. Itshould not
interfere in other aspects of life.
b. To say that enforcing the punishments prescribed by Allah, such as
cutting off the hand of a thief or stoning an adulterer, is not suitable in
this day and age.
c. To believe that it is permissible to give a rule from that which
Allah did not reveal in Islamic transactions or matters of law, punishments
or other affairs. Although one may not believe such rulings to be superior
to the Shari'ah he in effect affirms such a stand by declaring a thing that
Allah has totally prohibited, such as adultery, drinking alcohol or usury,
to be permissible. According to the consensus of Muslims, one who declares
such things to be permissible is an unbeliever (kafir).
. The Fifth
Anyone who hates any part of what the Messenger of Allah (may peace and
blessings of Allah be on him) has declared to be lawful has nullified his
Islam, even though he may act in accordance with it. Allah the Most High
says, which read as follows:" Because they disliked what Allahhas revealed
their deeds are brought to nothing".
. The Sixth
Anyone who ridicules any aspect of the religion of the Messenger of Allah
(peace be on him), or any of its rewards or punishments, becomes an
unbeliever. Allah, the Most High, says, which read as follows:"Say: Do you
ridicule Allah, His revelations and His Messenger? Make no excuse;you have
disbelieved after your (profession of) faith".
. The Seventh
The practice of magic included in this is causing a rift between a husband
and wife by turning his love for her into hatred, or tempting a person to do
things he dislikes by using black arts. One who engages in such a thing or
is pleased with it is outside the pale of Islam. Allah theMost High, says,
which read as follows:" The two (angels, Harut and Marut)did not teach
anyone (magic) without warning them, Indeed, we are a trial; then do not
disbelieve".
. The Eighth
Supporting and aiding polytheists against the Muslims. Allah the Most High,
says, which read as follows:" The one from among you who supports them
belongs to them. Truly. Allah does not guide the people who do wrong".
. The Ninth
Anyone who believes that some people are permitted to deviate from the
Shari'ah of Muhammad (peace be on him) is an unbeliever by the word of
Allah, the Most High, which read as follows:" If anyone seeks a religion
other than al-Islam it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter
he will by among the losers".
. The Tenth
To turn completely away from the religion of Allah, neither learning its
precepts nor acting upon it. Allah the Most High, says, which read as
follows:" Who does greater wrong than the one who is reminded of the
revelations of his Lord and turns away from them. Truly, We shall recompense
the guilty" and He also says, which read as follows:" But those who
disbelieve turn away from that about which they are warned".
It makes no difference whether such violations are committed as a joke, in
seriousness or out of fear, except when they are done under compulsion. We
seek refuge in Allah from such deeds as entail His wrath and severe
punishment.
