A Road To Success




Companion Hazrat Abdullah Ibne Umar presents that explaining the Quranic verse ‘Youma Tab-yaddu wuju-hu-watas-waddu wuju-hun’, Prophet Muhammad described: ‘Tab-yaddu wuju-hun Ahlus-Sunnate wa-taswaddu wuju-hun Ahlul Bida-i’ on the day of judgement the faces of Ahle Sunnat will be shining and the faces of heretics shall be dark. (Tafseer Dur-rl-Mansur Vol I part 2 page 63, 2 Tafseer Qartabi Vol II part 4 page 167).

Another companion Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri says the Prophet Muhammad recited the above mentioned Quranic verse and explained: ‘(On the day of judgement) Ahle Sunnat-o-Jamat faces will be shining and the faces of heretics and wish-followers shall be dark. (Durre Mansur Vol I part 2 page 63).

Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas has described the exegesis of  this verse in these words: ‘The  faces of Ahle Sunnat-o-Jamat will be white and shining and the faces of heretics and astrayed  sects shall be dark’ (Tafseer Dur-e-Mansur Vol I page 63, Tafsir-e-Qartab Vol II page 167 & Tafseer Ibn-e-Kaseer Vol I page 584).

Allama Ibn-e-Teymiyah describes in his book Minhaj-us-Sunnah Vol I page 206: ‘Ahle Sunnat-o-Jamat is an ancient and well known sect. This sect is older than the births of Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Malik, Imam Shafe-i and Imam Ahmad and this is a school of thought of Prophet’s companion. They have taken this mazhab faith from their Prophet, any person going against this, shall be held heretic as per Ahle Sunnat-o-Jamat. (Sahaba-e-Kram aur Maslak-e-Ahle Sunnat, Allama Ghulam Murtiza Saqi Mujaddidi, page  64, 65, 66).

A human being can be divided into two types: Muslim and Kafir unbeliever. Again Kafir has two types: Kafir-e-Asli true unbeliever and Kafir-eMurtad Muslim-turned-unbeliever. Kafir-e-Asli is that which has no belief on Kalima-e-Islam since birth for example Da-hariya, Majusi Parsi, Jews, Christian and idolater etc. Kafir-e-Murtad again is divided into two types: Murtad-Mujahir and Murtad-Munafiq.

Murtad-Mujahir out-loud Murtad is that Kafir who was a Muslim earlier, then turned unbeliever out-loudly by disapproving Kalima La-Ilaha-Il-Lallaho and Murtad-Munafiq is that Kafir who still speaks Kalima La-Ilaha-Il-Lallaho and pronounces himself as Muslim but insults Allah, Prophet Muhammad, a messenger of Allah by shariat standard and rules, or if denies even one Zarurat-e-Deen Aqeeda Essential Islamic Belief (EIB). In all types of Kafirs, the worst one is this Murtad-Munafiq because he calls himself a Muslim while teaching Kufr.

Muslim is of two types: Sahih Musalman right Muslim and gumrah Musalman go heretic. The right Muslim is one who approves EIBS as well as Zaruriyat-e-Ahle Sunnat Essential Ahle Sunnat Beliefs (EASB). Heretical Muslim is that Bad-Mazhab who disapproves any Essential Ahle Sunnat Belief and is profoundly at odds what is generally accepted provided he has not touched the boundary of Kufr.

A few rare judgments of Prophet Muhammad given against heretics are being presented- (1.) Companion Hazrat Anas describes that Prophet Muhammad said: ‘If you meet a heretic, be rude to him, because Allah does animus with every heretic’ (Reference: Hadis Book: Ibne Asakir). (2.) Companion Hazrat Huzaifa refers to Prophet Muhammad that he said: ‘Allah rejects a fast observed by heretic, neither He accepts his prayer nor Ramzan charity, neither his Haj pligrimage nor Umrah, neither his jihad nor his Nafl (accessory) worship, or Farz (necessary) worship. A heretic is pulled out of Islamic religion like a hair is pulled out of kneaded dough’ (Ibn-e-Maja). (3.) Hazrat Abu Hurairah narrates that Prophet Muhammad ordered :’If  heretics fall ill, do not visit them; if die, do not join their funeral prayer; if you see them do not salute; don’t join their company, don’t drink water or take food with them, don’t marry with them, don’t join their funeral prayer and don’t pray with them. (Muslim, Abu Daud & Ibn-e-Maja). (4.) ‘Heretics are like dogs of hell-dwellers’ (Dar-e-Qitni). (5.) Companion Hazrat Ibrahim-bin-Maisara narrates that Prophet Muhammad said: ‘If anybody has paid respect to heretic, he has tried to sabotage Islamic religion.’ (Mish-quat) (6.) Famous Hadis book Muslim refers to Prophet Muhammad alerting about heretics: ‘Do not befriend them and don’t accept their friendship, least they entangle you in heresy, least they entangle you in mischief.’

In his addresses, Prophet Muhammad has named Khawarij, Qadriya and Narjiya sects. He has referred Khawarij sect as ‘dogs of hell’ (Ibn-e-Maja) and told for Qadriya and Marjiya: ‘They have no participation in Islam’ (Tirmizi). The current international sect is reported to derive its heretical believes from Khawarij and Qadriya (read Motazila or rationalistic sect).

Now some Essential Ahle Sunnat Beliefs and their counter heretical opinions are given below for your perusal:

  1. Essential Ahle Sunnat Belief is that Prophet Muhammad is very special human being in every respect while heretic’s opinion is that Prophet is a human like themselves. This belief is rather identical with that of ancient unbelievers who addressed their Prophets as being equal to themselves as revealed in various Quranic verses.
  2. That Allah conferred on Prophet Muhammad the ilm-e-ghaib knowledge of unseen and ilm-e-makana-wa-ma-ya-koon the knowledge of unseen of past and in future as much as Allah desired, are Essential Ahle Sunnat Beliefs; On the other hand heretical opinion is that Prophet Muhammad does not possess them, only Allah does. In order to prove their heresy, heretics crossed the penal ordinances of Islam and wrote rude and disrespectful words for Prophet in their books and were held imposturous.
  3. EASB is that Allah conferred on his deputy Prophet Muhammad the tashri-i akhtiyarat judicial authority as well as ghair tashri-i akhtiyarat powers to control affairs out of the purview of Islamic jurisprudence; while heretical belief is that Allah didn’t confer  these powers to Prophet Muhammad, those are for Allah only.That is why Ahle Sunnat wal Jamat are determined to retain Prophet Muhammad as a central legislative authority for the solution of the Ummah Community problems being confronted today and in future as well. On the other hand, terrorists who are absolutely heretics tend to eliminate Prophet Muhammad altogether from Islam at least for legislative purposes and have replaced Prophet’s central and only one-person-legislative-position with their ‘Ulema council’ to direct and control the whole Muslim World, resulting in murders of Ahle Sunna Muslims and bombarding Darghah and Shrines after floating self-made decrees.
  4. EASB is that Allah granted Prophet Muhammad the promised death just for a while, then bestowed him life in his sacred grave with perfect barzakhi hayat aliveness till doomsday. Deeds of every Muslim are submitted to him by angel, making him delighted and thankful to Allah if they are good or making him sad to seek forgiveness to Allah if our deeds are bad. On the other hand, a section of heretics believe that Prophet Muhammad is dead and mixed in soil and now useless for Muslims.

  1. EASB is that Allah made Prophet Muhammad as witness and producer of testimony for every single Muslim. In Islamic Sharia (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafe-i and Hanbali jurisprudences) this belief is called as a belief of hazir-o-nazir present and beholder. For example to cover distance of hundreds of Kilometers within moments with the permission of Allah, to be present at many places at the same time with numerous duplicate bodies, to see from a remote place etc. While heretics don’t believe Prophet as to be hazir-o-nazir.
  2. EASB is that seeking Shafa-at intercession from Prophet Muhammad is permissible act today. While heretical belief is that it is not permissible now, this shall be only possible on doomsday after Allah shall grant Prophet Muhammad a permission to do.
  3. That Prophet Muhammad is the most learned among all created beings since Allah Himself taught him knowledge of everything through dual revelation of Quran and Hadis is Essential Ahle Sunnat Belief; on the other hand, heretics deny this and believe that Satan Iblees is the most learned created being and they described this in book Baraheen-e-Qatia.
  4. EASB is that prophets are intermediary between ummah community and Allah so is Prophet Muhammad; but heretics contradicts this belief.
  5. EASB is that Allah bestowed Prophet Muhammad power to hear a call away from a distant place; while a section of heretics believe he can listen a call from close to his grave but other heretics absolutely contradict both versions.
  6. Calling Prophet Muhammad for help while in distress is permissible act, believe Ahle Sunnat-o-Jamat sect, while heretics don’t believe this and call this as ‘act of idolatry’.

Hope we can take on the right path of Ahle Sunnat, the only promised sect fit for a paradise as Prophet Muhammad himself described, of course along with performing good deeds and fulfilling faraiz-o-wajibat, what a safe and happy journey to aakhirat the next world.
