Ways the Misguided Youth Bent on Takfeer & Bombings Contradict Islaam1
The young people who’ve been tested and tried with committing Takfeer2 and bombings have contradicted Islaam in many different ways. And even one of them is sufficient as a sin for someone to commit, so what about committing all of them? This is a short collection of some of these things they do that Islaam opposes along with the evidences showing the severity and danger of them.
1.Making Takfeer of Other Muslims
The Prophet said:
“Anyone who says to his brother, ‘You disbeliever!’ then it falls back upon one of them: either he (the accused) is really as he (the accuser) says or it returns back to him (the accuser).3
And from the Hadeeth of Abu Tharr he also said:
“Whoever accuses a man of disbelief or says, ‘You enemy of Allaah!’ and he’s not actually like that, it returns back to the accuser.”4
If this the threat for making Takfeer of a single person, then what about making Takfeer an entire nation?!
2.Killing Muslims without Right
Allaah says:
And it’s not for any believer to kill another believer except by accident.
[Soorah An-Nisaa, 4:92]
And He says:
And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to remain therein. Allaah is angry with him, condemns him, and has prepared for him a great punishment.
[Soorah An-Nisaa, 4:93]
And He says:
And for that, We decreed for the children of Israel that whoever killed someone not because of murder or spreading corruption on earth, then it is as if he killed all of mankind. And if someone saves a person, it is as if he saved all of mankind.
[Soorah Al-Maaidah, 5:32]
And the Prophet said:
“The first matter to be judged among mankind on the Day of Resurrection will be that of shedding blood (murder).”5
He also said:
“A believer will continue to be comfortable with his religion as long as he doesn’t shed sacred blood.”6
Jundub Ibn ‘Abdullaah a companion of Prophet Muhammad, said:
“The first thing to spoil from a person is his stomach, so whoever is able to eat nothing but good, pure food, then let him. And whoever is able to let nothing prevent him from (entering) Paradise by not allowing his hand to fill with blood he’s spilled, then let him.”7
Al-Haafith Ibn Hajar said in his book, “Fath Al-Baaree” (13/130) after this Hadeeth was mentioned in a Marfoo’8 form from At-Tabaree:
“Even if it wasn’t reported explicitly in a Marfoo’s form, it’s still considered to be raised to the level of the Prophet’s statement because it’s not something that could have been known and said (by a companion) based solely on one’s opinion. It’s a severe threat for killing a Muslim without right.”
3.Committing Suicide
Allaah says:
Oh you who believe, do not unjustly consume one another’s property unless it be a trade between you by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves, for certainly Allaah is merciful to you. Whoever does that through aggression and injustice, We shall put him in the fire, and that is easy for Allaah.
[Soorah An-Nisaa, 4:29-30]
And the Prophet said:
“Whoever killed himself with anything in this life, he’ll be punished with it on the Day of Resurrection.”9
4.Killing Non-Muslims Who were Promised Safety
Prophet Muhammad said:
“Whoever murders a Mu’aahid10 won’t even smell Paradise, and it’s fragrance can be smelled from forty years away.”11
And even regarding if they happen to be killed in an accident (while living among Muslims), Allaah says:
And if he belonged to a people with whom you have a treaty of peaceful mutual alliance, then compensation (blood-money) must be paid to his family, and a believing slave must be freed. Whoever cannot find the means (to do these things), then fasting two consecutive months (is prescribed).
[Soorah An-Nisaa, 4:92]
5.Causing Those Once Safe & Secure to Live in Fear
The Prophet said:
“Anyone who takes up arms against us is not one of us.”12
‘Abdur-Rahmaan Ibn Abee Laylaa said:
The companions of Muhammad narrated to us they used to travel with the Prophet. A man among them fell asleep, so some of them took a rope he had and grabbed him (as a joke, possible to tie him up) thereby scaring him. So, the Prophet said:
“A Muslim is not allowed to scare another Muslim.”13
6.Destroying the Property of Others
Allaah says:
And when he turns away, he goes throughout the earth spreading corruption, destroying crops and cattle. And Allaah does not like corruption.
[Soorah Al-Baqarah, 2:205]
And the Prophet said:
“Whoever receives people’s wealth or property (as a loan or trust) and he tries to fulfill the duties and responsibilities regarding it, Allaah will help him fulfill them. And whoever is receives it but tries to ruin it (neglects his responsibilities), Allaah will ruin him.”14
So, if this is the case of someone who’s entrusted with people’s property and wealth yet doesn’t care to fulfill his responsibilities regarding it, then what about those who destroy the property of others with bombings and other means of destruction?!
7.Armed Hijacking of Vehicles to Escape in Them
The Prophet said:
“It’s not permissible for anyone to take the property of his brother without right.”15
And in his sermon on the “Day of An-Nahr” in Minaa during the “Farewell Pilgrimage”, Abu Bakr reported that he said:
“Certainly, the blood of all of you, your wealth, and your honor are to be held by each of you as sacred just as the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours in this land of yours until the day you all meet your Lord.”16
8.Disguising Themselves (some men among them) in Women’s Clothing
Ibn ‘Abbaas narrated said:
“The Prophet condemned men that imitate women and women that imitate men.”17
And the fact that some of these people contradict Islaam in this way results from their misunderstanding of religious texts and not referring to and consulting with scholars. About this, Allaah’s messenger said:
“If Allaah wants good for someone, He gives him correct understanding of the religion.”18
And based on this, it’s understood that if Allaah doesn’t intend good for someone, He doesn’t give him correct religious understanding.
Those people must fear Allaah with regards to their Islaam, themselves, their families, and their nation. They should try to correctly understand the religion and refer back to the people with knowledge to avoid making blind, chaotic mistakes that have caused them to contradict Islaam in so many ways. And they have to fear oppressing themselves and others because the Prophet said:
“Be conscientious and fearful of oppressing (anyone), for oppression will become darkness on the Day of Resurrection.”19
They’ve also got to beware of becoming bankrupt, ruined people in the hereafter about whom the Prophet said:
“Certainly, the bankrupt, ruined person of my nation is he who’ll come on the Day of Resurrection with prayer, fasting, and charity yet he cursed this person, falsely accused that person, took the property of this person, spilled the blood of that person, and struck that person. His good deeds will be given to this person and that person, and if his good deeds finish before his judgment is through, then the sins of those people will be put onto him. He’ll then be thrown into the fire.”20
