1 – Shirk or associating others in worship with Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, Allaah forgives not (the sin of) setting up partners (in worship) with Him, but He forgives whom He wills, sins other than that, and whoever sets up partners in worship with Allaah, has indeed strayed far away”

[al-Nisa’ 4:116]

“Verily, whosoever sets up partners (in worship) with Allaah, then Allaah has forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode”

[al-Maa’idah 5:72]

That includes praying to the dead, seeking their help, making vows and offering sacrifices to them or to the jinn or to the grave.

2 – Whoever sets up intermediaries between himself and Allaah, asks them to intercede, and puts his trust in them, is a kaafir according to scholarly consensus.

The evidence for that is the verse in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And they worship besides Allah things that hurt them not, nor profit them, and they say: ‘These are our intercessors with Allah.’ Say: ‘Do you inform Allah of that which He knows not in the heavens and on the earth?’ Glorified and Exalted be He above all that which they associate as partners with Him!”

[Yoonus 10:18].

Whoever does that is akin to those who worship idols. It doesn't matter whether the intermediary is Muhammad (salallahu alayhi wasalam), Jesus (Alayhi wasalam),Ali & his sons (Rodiyallahu anhumma), Ahmad Tijani, Ibrahim Niyas, etc.

3 – Whoever does not regard the mushrikeen as kaafirs, or doubts that they are kaafirs, or regards their way as correct, is a kaafir.

4 – Whoever believes that anything other than the teaching of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is more complete than his teachings, or that the rulings of anyone else are better than his rulings – such as those who prefer the rule of false laws to his rulings – is a kaafir.

5 – Whoever hates any part of that which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) brought, even if he acts in accordance with it, is a kaafir, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“That is because they hate that which Allaah has sent down (this Qur’aan and Islamic laws); so He has made their deeds fruitless”

[Muhammad 47:9]

6 – Whoever makes fun of anything in the religion of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), or makes fun of any texts that refer to rewards or punishments, is a kaafir. The evidence for that is the verse (interpretation of the meaning):

“Say: Was it at Allaah, and His Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and His Messenger that you were mocking?

Make no excuse; you disbelieved after you had believed”

[al-Tawbah 9:65-66]

7 – Sihr (witchcraft) – including spells to turn one person against another or to make someone love another. Whoever does this or approves of it is a kaafir. The evidence for that is the verse (interpretation of the meaning):

“but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) till they had said, ‘We are for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us)’”

[al-Baqarah 2:102]

8 – Supporting the mushrikeen and helping them against the Muslims. The evidence for that is the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Awliyaa’ (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Awliyaa’ of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as Awliyaa’), then surely, he is one of them. Verily, Allaah guides not those people who are the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust)”

[al-Maa'idah 5:51]

9 – Whoever believes that some people are allowed to operate outside the law of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) just as al-Khidr operated outside the law of Moosa (peace be upon him) is a kaafir, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers”

[Aal ‘Imraan 3:85]

10 – Turning away from the religion of Allaah, not learning it and not acting in accordance with it. The evidence for that is the verse (interpretation of the meaning):

“And who does more wrong than he who is reminded of the Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of his Lord, then turns aside therefrom? Verily, We shall exact retribution from the Mujrimoon (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners)”

[al-Sajdah 32:22]

11. Inventing a lie against Allah (especially forbidding what He permits or permitting what He forbids)*.

And say not concerning that which your tongues put forth falsely: "This is lawful and this is forbidden," so as to invent lies against Allah. Verily, those who invent lies against Allah will never prosper.

[an-Nahl 16:116]

Say: "Verily, those who invent lie against Allah will never be successful"

A brief enjoyment in this world! - and then unto Us will be their return, then We shall make them taste the severest torment because they used to disbelieve [in Allah, belie His Messengers, deny and challenge His Ayat (proofs, signs, verses, etc.)].

[Yunus 10:69-70]

It does not matter whether a person is joking, serious or afraid, unless he is forced to do any of these.

We ask Allaah to help us all to do that which pleases Him, and to guide us and all the Muslims to His Straight Path, for He is All Hearing, Ever-Responsive. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.

Our Laws are superior to the man-made laws!

A non-Muslim would not believe in our laws just as we too don't believe in their laws.

The Islamic Laws are not man-made!

This is different from killing, suicides, kidnapping, theft, rapes, forceful marriages, among others from Boko Haram!

[quote author=SarcasticGenius post=71599376]Thank you for confirming everything that the whole world already knows about the extreme intolerance of islam.

Keen observers who have read this drivel will notice that allah does not condemn his headslamming followers for any atrocity they commit against non-muslims. Which explains why there will always be cases like Leah Sharibus as long as non-muslims continue to delude themselves that islam is not an existential threat to their well being.[/quote

Islam is a religion of peace and will always be. If we are really the terrorist why will there be war in Islamic countries? Why would we deliberately want to reduce our own population? Think twice man. If we are the terrorist the terror will be unleashed on the non Muslims. Read the causes of these wars and you will find out the truth.

Clearly one is The Prince of Peace, the other the founder of a religion of piss.

The values of the Qur’an hold a Muslim responsible for treating all people, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, kindly and justly, protecting the needy and the innocent and “preventing the dissemination of mischief”. Mischief comprises all forms of anarchy and terror that remove security, comfort and peace.

“God does not love corruption”. (Surat al-Baqara, 205)

“God does not forbid you from being good to those who have not fought you in the religion or driven you from your homes, or from being just towards them. God loves those who are just.” (Surat al-Mumtahana,




Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) said:

“Beware! Whoever is cruel and hard on a non-Muslim minority (jews, Christians)or curtails their rights, or burdens them with more than they can bear, or takes anything from them against their free will; I (Prophet Muhammad) will complain against the person on the Day of Judgment.” (Abu Dawud)

He also said:
Prophets are the people appointed to make the world a land of welfare and peace. They were sent so that they would convey the religion of Islam, which means, "peace and welfare" to humanity. The Prophet (pbuh) stated the following in a hadith:

"We prophets are brothers of the same father; we have the same religion."(Bukhari, Anbiya, 48)

These are proves that Islam is a religion of peace that preaches tolerance, love and kindness to all creatures.

Thank you, but the text i quoted from OP says something different from your submission.

I have lived with Muslims peaceably, but you cannot take this message from them. i remember how my friends Imam will always castigate them for visiting our house or as children, bathing with us the Kafiri.

Yeah, you truly came here for peace!


Matthew 10:34-36 New International Version (NIV)

34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn

“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.


Luke 12:51-53 New International Version (NIV)


51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

And see where your Prince of peace commanded Moses in the Bible:

So now, kill all the boys, and kill every woman who has had relations with a man, 18but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man. Numbers 31:18

So carry your kind of piss comot for here!

Thanks for sharing this bro. Regarding your second point, in situations where someone has a late relative and summons some Alfas to pray for the dead, does that qualify as a breach to the point?

Have you ever see Muslims going into Christians page on Sunday to disparage them? It is very rare. I have been on Nairaland for long to know that Muslims hardly comment on Christian's page, rather , it is the atheist that you guys always have problem with. The atheist are the one that are always invading Christian page and make bad comments.
But come to Muslims page on Friday, most of you guys are there to make foul of their religion, make disparage comments, abuse them and their religion and way of life and all such of unthinkable things. It is one of the main reason that make Seun to implement that submission of oath when about to in Islam page just to sanitise the page but still some stubborn ones like you will still invade it and disparage their belief. To be frank, this is unfair.

Oga we agree with these assertions. But is it not wise to be careful around muslims. Since some clearly want your head and its written that I am an enemt. Am I not right to just keep myself safe?

I am not here to abuse any religion, I respect every belief. But have you asked yourself why seu.n never implemented same oath on Christian thread?

You got it very wrong. Anyway, you should have armed yourself with biblical facts before you threw tantrums.

Was it not your Bible Jesus that was reported to have said " ...all my enemies that do not want me to reign over them bring them here and slay, kill them before me". Luke 19:27.

Also, your Bible Jesus was reported to have said " don't think I have come to this World to bring peace, I didn't come to this World to bring peace rather a SWORD". Matthew 10:34

Thanks for sharing this bro. Regarding your second point, in situations where someone has a late relative and summons some Alfas to pray for the dead, does that qualify as a breach to the point?

We ask Allaah to guide us and let our end be in His guidance. Islam has taught us everything we need to worship Allaah and this includes the way to pray for a dead Muslim relative. Note that we don't pray for a dead non-Muslim relative! We don't need any Alfas to pray for your dead relative!

Here are the ways to send "rewards" to our dead Muslims:

Comanche:
Thanks for sharing this bro. Regarding your second point, in situations where someone has a late relative and summons some Alfas to pray for the dead, does that qualify as a breach to the point?

First it is optional. There is nothing wrong to ask Alfa to pray for your late relative. It is the same way when you do nikka, you invite alfa or imam. This is done worldwide. Ayah op cited in point number 2 is talking about kufar. Kufar of Mecca worshipped intermediaries just like Yoruba mushrikun do but not muslims. A muslim can ask fellow muslim to pray for his late relative. We do this everyday. It is also called tawasul. Prophet MUhammad(saw) used tawasul/intermediary of nabi Ibrahim(as) in solati Ibrahimiyah.

There are also some ahadith in this regard. The problem however is, some people in nigeria take it far for worldly gains. They go to firdau to source money from family of late muslim. This is wrong. So asking alfa to pray for your late relative is not haram at all nor it is reprehensible especially if the person died within 40 days due to a hadith. Some people are questioned in the grave up to 40days. Moderation is what we need.





What kind of things can be done that would benefit the dead?

The scholars agree that the dead person is benefited by the good things that he initiated in his lifetime. The prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) said: "When a son of Adam dies, his deeds cease to benefit him except three: a perpetual charity, a useful contribution to knowledge, and a good child who would pray for him." [Reported by Imam Muslim and the other six Imams]

As far as the good acts by the living people that will benefit the dead person, they are as follows:

Supplicating and asking for Allah's forgiveness for the dead: Allah (S.W.T.) says what can be translated as, " And those who came after them saying: 'O our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in good faith."' [surat Al-Hashr, (verse 10)] Also, this practice of praying for the dead is from the tradition of the prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.).


Note the Ayah is general. Other muslims can pray for your relatives. You can call Alfa to pray for your late relative. You should see that this is separate from the hadith which says a righteous child the deseased left pray for him.




Charity

The common Hadith says charity the deseased left behind will benefits him. But read this. Charity: the mother of Sa'ad Ibn Obada (R.A.) died while he was away, so he came to the prophet (S.A.W.) and said:" O messenger of Allah, my mother has died while I was away, would it benefit her if I gave charity on her behalf? He (S.A.W.) said: "Yes." Sa'ad said: "I would like you to witness that my orchard - Al-Mikhraf - is a charity on her behalf." [Reported by Imam Al-Bukhari]


You see that charity was given on behalf of the deseased apart from charity deseased herself left behind.



YOU CAN FAST ON BEHALF OF YOUR LATE RELATIVE

Fasting: A man came to the prophet (S.A.W.) and said:" O messenger of Allah, my mother died before she made up a month's time of fasting, can I make it up for her?" he (PBUH) said:" If your mother were in debt, would you have paid the debt for her?" he said: "Yes", he (S.A.W.) said: " A debt to Allah is more worthy of being paid." [Reported by Imams Bukhari and Muslim]







YOU CAN ALSO MAKE HAJJ IN BEHALF OF YOUR LATE RELATIVE

Hajj: A woman from Juhaynah (a tribe) came to the prophet (S.A.W.) and said: "My mother has made (Nathr) - (a promise to Allah) - to go to Hajj, but she died before she fulfilled her "Nathr". Can I perform Hajj on her behalf? He (S.A.W.) said: "Perform Hajj on her behalf. If your mother were in debt, would you not have paid it for her? Do it (all of you) because Allah is more worthy of being paid pack." [Reported by Imam Al-Bukhari]



So you can see it is not only there things that benefit the dead. You can do good deed on behalf of your late relative
