My Brother Ibrahim El-Zakzaky: it's not too late
to repent.
After registering my condolences to the recent
loss of your three children who were gunned
down by some elements in the military, I find it
an obligation to help you see that some of your
actions too are the contributing factors in this
unfortunate avoidable tragedy.
What I fear most for you and your followers is
that the consequence of this tragedy may further
alienate your group from the mainstream
society and create a cult -if it's not already one -
with disastrous consequences on you, your
followers and the nation at large. For you
especially, on the Day of Judgment you will have
your account to answers.
My brother you have brought a lot of bad
innovations among Nigerian Muslims that rather
than unite the Muslims are further entrenching
the divide without any added value to the
worldly development nor the hereafter, but
rather with serious theological implications in
the hereafter.
What triggered my attention to your group now
is the most recent close encounter I made with a
procession of your followers on the highway
from Kano to Zaria yesterday 8th Dec. 2014 on
my way to Dutse. About four to six thousand
youth and children trekking long distance for
hours. I gave a two hour lecture in Duste and
met them still trekking on my way back.
I cannot understand under which civil or
religious law gave you the right and liberty to
block one side of the double carriage road
forcing motorists to cramp each other
dangerously on one lane. If your actions is to
propagate your creed, I am telling you, you will
only attract the poor young ignorant miscreants
of the society. Never the sane except of course
the disgruntled.
The delinquency of your followers and the
disturbance of public peace is what makes you
and them an easy target of the authority. This
happening when you can as well do very well
without such unscrupulous public misbehavior.
Disruption of traffic flow is in fact a sign of
unfaithfulness and lack of civilization. In a Hadith
narrated by Muslim, the noble prophet -Alaihis
Salatu was Salam- said: "Faith has seventy
something or sixty something branches. The
best of it is the testimony that there is no diety to
worship except Allah and the least of it is
removal of harm from the road and shyness is
also a branch of faith." And Al-bukhari narrated
"that the prophet himself use to remove
injurious things and dirt from the road". All this
to make the road and traffic safe and smooth.
This is the good example you should copy. But
unfortunately, instead of that, you are doing
exactly the opposite by blocking roads and
forcing vehicles to dangerously face each other
on one lane displaying arrogance and
lawlessness. Young men brandishing knives and
unsheathed swords, beating their chest, carrying
incitful placards and chanting hate songs.
How can you be the good servants of Allah when
you are exactly opposite of what the Quran
described them? Allah said:
"And the servants of the Merciful Allah are they
who walk on the earth in humbleness, and when
the ignorant address them, they say: Peace. *
And they who pass the night prostrating
themselves before their Lord and standing. *
And they who say: O our Lord! turn away from
us the punishment of hell, surely the
punishment thereof is a lasting * Surely it is an
evil abode and (evil) place to stay. * And they
who when they spend, are neither extravagant
nor parsimonious, and (keep) between these the
just mean. * And they who do not call upon
another god with Allah and do not slay the soul,
which Allah has forbidden except in the
requirements of law and justice, and (who) do
not commit fornication and he who does this
shall find a requital of sin; * The punishment
shall be doubled to him on the day of
resurrection, and he shall abide therein in
abasement; * Except him who repents and
believes and does a good deed; so these are
they of whom Allah changes the evil deeds to
good ones; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. *
And whoever repents and does good, he surely
turns to Allah a (goodly) turning. * And they who
do not bear witness to what is false, and when
they pass by what is vain, they pass by nobly. *
And they who, when reminded of the
communications of their Lord, do not fall down
thereat deaf and blind. * And they who say: O
our Lord! grant us in our wives and our offspring
the joy of our eyes, and make us guides to those
who guard (against evil). * These shall be
rewarded with high places because they were
patient, and shall be met therein with greetings
and salutations.* Abiding therein; goodly the
abode and the resting-place." Q25/ 63-76.
How can you be the good servants of Allah when
you call other human beings beside him. We saw
your placards calling: Ya Hussein. Hussein the
Son of Ali - May Allah be pleased with them and
all the companions- is dead. He can never
answer your call and he will never. He will also
deny you on the day of Judgment for calling him.
The best you can do for any dead person is to
pray for Allah's mercy upon him. Allah said:
"And who is in greater loss than he who calls
besides Allah upon those that will not answer
him till the day of resurrection and they are
heedless of their call? * And when men are
gathered together they shall be their enemies,
and shall be deniers of their worshipping (them)
." Q46/5-6
My Brother, you have already lost three children
on this path to perdition and shirk, so please
repent and don't capitalize on the ignorance of
our gullible youth to mislead them. If you don't
correct them now, when you die, Allah will not
forgive you for whatever deviation they may add
to yours.
"That they may bear their burdens entirely on
the day of resurrection and also of the burdens
of those whom they lead astray without
knowledge; now surely evil is what they bear."
Q16/25.
My Brother, I write you this open letter for
others also not necessarily in your sect to get
admonition. It is never intended to trigger a
sectarian argument. It's about public order and
mannerism.
May Allah guide us all to his pleasure and give us
the courage to revert back to the truth and what
is righteous. Amin |
