Nawaqid al Islam
(The Nullifiers of Islam) by Muhammad ibn Abdil Wahhab
Explanation by Aboo Thaabit
Fifth: Whoever
hates something that the Messenger came with, even though he may act on it, has
disbelieved.
For example if you say you are Muslim but hate the concept
of salaah, you become a disbeliever.
That is because they disliked what Allah revealed, so He
rendered worthless their deeds. (Muhammad:9)
Slightly off the topic but the teacher mentioned that a lot
of people say that Islam is about equality but this is wrong. Islam is about
justice. If you try and make everyone equal then no doubt you’ll transgress
against the rights of one party. You give every person their due right and
justice is more important than equality.
Question: What about if you don’t hate something but you
find it difficult to do? For example, someone finds it difficult to wake for
Fajr and they don’t like the idea of making wudhu with cold water. If a person
prefers their bed over salaah, is he a kaafir?
Answer: No, there is a difference between having difficulty
and disliking something. The proof for this is the
word of Allah:
Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to
you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love
a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not. (Baqarah:
216)
Therefore difficulties do not fall under disliking
something.
Sixth: Whoever
mocks or ridicules any part of the Messenger’s Religion or its rewards or
punishments has committed an act of disbelief. The proof for this is Allaah’s
statement: “Say: ‘Was it Allaah and His
verses and His Messenger that
you were mocking? Make no excuses, you have disbelieved after having had faith.” [Surah At-Tawbah: 65-66]
If someone mocks anything regarding the religion of the
Messenger or mocks the rewards of Allah then this is disbelief.
“Say: ‘Was it Allaah
and His verses and His Messenger
that you were mocking? Make no excuses, you have disbelieved after having had faith.” (Tawbah: 65-66)
These ayat were revealed concerning of the battles when the
Prophet, sallalahu alayhi wa sallam left Madinah and a group of Muslims sat together
at the camp and were speaking ill of the Prophet, sallalahu alayhi wa sallam. The
Ulama use this as evidence because these people are saying these things and
then they are saying that they were joking about these matters.
Allah, when He revealed these ayat, He mentioned a group of
people but the hadith concerning this says that it was only one person. Why did
Allah mention more people?
The scholars say that when this person spoke about the the
religion in this manner, no one stopped him. As Muslims, keeping silent when
someone is doing something wrong is in it and of itself wrong.
Making fun of the religion is one way includes making fun of
Allah, the Prophet, the Scholars etc and the second way is through actions and
gestures.
All good is from Allah and all mistakes are from myself
