> Question of Fatwa:
> Scholars, Salaam to you all! Kindly enlighten me on the so-called
Intellectual Apostasy, widely spread among Muslims nowadays.
> Name of Mufti: Dr. Yusuf Abdullah Al-Qaradâwi
>

>
> Dear questioner, we are really pleased to have your question and to have
the chance to convey some of the teachings of our religion to our Muslim
brothers. In fact, it adds to our happiness to find guidance being
disseminated and the word of truth being highly elevated. We hope these
humble efforts meet the great expectations of yours.
>
> As regard the question you posed, we would like to cite for you the fatwa
issued by the eminent Muslim scholar, Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi in this
concern:
>
> "Intellectual apostasy is the kind of apostasy whose owners do not swagger
as much as those who declare their explicit disbelief and openly wage war
against everything that is religious. Actually intellectual apostates are
far smarter than that. They wrap their apostasy in various coverings,
sneaking in a very cunning manner into the mind the way that malignant
tumors sneak into the body. These people are not noticed when they invade or
begin to disseminate their falsehood, but they are mostly felt when they
affect the minds. They do not use guns in their attacks, however, their
attacks are fierce and cunning. Erudite scholars and well versed jurists
well apprehend this type of apostates, but they can not take an action in
face of such professional criminals who have firmly established themselves
and have not left a chance for law to be enforced on them. They are the
hypocrites whose abode will be in the lowest level of the Hell-Fire.
>
> The traces of intellectual apostasy are noticed everyday in circulated
newspapers and books, in Radio and TV programs and in laws legislated to
govern people's affairs. This kind of apostasy is - in my point of view -
more dangerous than openly announced apostasy, for the former works
continuously on a wide scale, at the same time it can not be easily resisted
in the same manner as the latter which always makes much fuss, attract the
attention of the people and stirs up public opinion.
>
> Hypocrisy is more dangerous than open disbelief. This fact will be clearly
discerned when one reflects back to the great danger which the leader of
Madinah's hypocrites, Abdullah ibn Ubayy, posed to Islam. The Madinah's
hypocrites were more threatening to Islam than Abu Jahl and co in Makkah. It
is for this that the Qur'an specified only two verses for dispraising the
disbelievers at the beginning of Surat Al Baqara, while hypocrites were
given a share of thirteen verses in the same Surat.
>
> Intellectual apostasy is always propagated night and day. We feel its
relentless and ruthless effects on our society. It needs a wide scale attack
at the same level of strength and thinking. The positive religious
obligation here is for Muslims to launch war against such a hidden enemy, to
fight it with same weapon it uses in waging attack against the society. Here
comes the role of erudite scholars who are well versed in Islamic
Jurisprudence.
>
> It is true that the pioneers of this new form of apostasy are well
supported on the media level, but the power of truth, the faith reposed in
the hearts of believers and Allah's support are more than enough to vanquish
this falsehood and pierce the hearts of those who spread with their own
daggers. Here, we will feel joyful with this Divine victory and will really
understand the verse:" Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it
knocks out its brain, and behold, falsehood doth perish! Ah! woe be to you
for the (false) things ye ascribe (to Us)." (Al-Anbiyaa':18).
>
> In conclusion, we have nothing to say but to recite the verse that reads:
"Thus doth Allah (by parables) show forth Truth and Vanity. For the scum
disappears like forth cast out; while that which is for the good of mankind
remains on the earth. Thus doth Allah set forth parables." (Ar-Ra`d:17).
