Salaam alaykum brothers and sisters, although this topic brings alot of controversies, it's still a must to know for those that really wants to worship Allaah.

So the topic is, "nullifiers of Islam" yani we want discuss the things that nullifies our Islam, things that takes you outta Islam.

Insha Allaah we are going to depend on the writing of shaykhul Islam Muhammad ibn AbdulWahhab ibn salaymaan At-Tamimi – may Allaah be pleased with him

Note: My comments will be emboldened

The shaykh said;

(you have to) know that the nullifiers of Islam are Ten.

#Firstly: Shirk(associating partners) while worshipping Allaah the most high, Allaah the most high says;

"Verily, Allaah does not forgive that partners be associated with Him in worship (i.e. Shirk), but He forgives what is less than that to whom He wills.”

Now here we see that Allaah forgives all sins except shirk, the forgiveness being discussed here is that of the hereafter after you are dead, but if you seek forgiveness and worship Allaah alone before dying, then you will be forgiven, which is why tawheed is very important, once your deeds are checked and a single shirk cant be found therein, WAllaahi if Allaah wills(because Allaah says "li man yashaa''), he will forgive All your sins even if it fills the whole of this universe, so we have to study tawheed properly

And He says:

"Verily, the one who mixes partners in worship with Allaah (Shirk), then Paradise has been made forbidden for him and his final abode will be the Hellfire. And the wrongdoers will not have any helpers (in Hell).”

Then the shaykh continues and says;

"Part of that which falls into this(shirk) is performing sacrifices to someone other than Allaah, such as the person who offers a sacrifice to the Jinn or to(the dead in) a grave.

#secondly: Whoever sets intermediaries between himself and Allaah, calling on them, asking for intersession from them and putting their trust on them is a kaafir(disbeliever) by ijma'(consensus of the scholars)."

The deviant sufis and shi'as are guilty of this, some sufis call on their "mawlana" or "saints" to intercede for them to Allaah, this is an act of kufr, Allaah says "Call upon me and I will respond to you", so you don't need intermediaries, this is one of the ways the christians have erred, calling upon Jesus so he can ask "the father" a favor for them, the Shi'as on the other hand call on Ali, Hussayn all in the name of "tawassul"(seeking to near Allaah through some ways), but they are doing it in the wrong way

The shaykh continues;

#thirdly: If you don't take mushrikoon(people that associate partners with Allaah) as kuffar(plural of kaafir) or you have (a single) doubt about their disbelieve or you (even) believe that their way is correct, he has disbelieved.

A perfect example is some Muslims saying "we all worship the same God, both Muslims and Christians" la! Abadan! We don't worship the same God even though we all have the same Lord

Sunni perspective
Views of Islamic Jurists
All jurists comprising Imami, Shafi'i ,
Maliki, Hanafi and Hanbali are unanimous on the permissibility of tawassul whether during the lifetime of the prophet or after his demise.[13]
[14] Sunni Muslims traditionally have believed that seeking intercession is lawful: Imam Baihaqi in Shu’ayb ul Iman endorsed the view of Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal, Imam Shafi in Imâm Shâfi`î, Dîwân, Ibn Hajar ‘Asqalani in Al-Isabah, Mullah Ali Qari in Sharh ash-Shifa, Imam Ibn Kathir in Ibn Kathir, Imam an-Nawawi in Majmu, Imam Jalaluddin Suyuti in Dur al-Manthur, Imam Qurtubi in Tafsir al-Qurtubi, Qadhi Shawkani in Tuhfa tul Dhakireen have explained and supported Tawassul.
[4] [unreliable source? ] Syrian Islamic scholars Salih al-Nu`man, Abu Sulayman Suhayl al-Zabibi, and Mustafa ibn Ahmad al-Hasan al-Shatti al-Hanbali al-Athari al-Dimashqi have similarly released Fatwas in support of the practice. [15]
Al-Suyuti in his book History of the Caliphs also reports Caliph Umar’s prayer for rain after the death of the Prophet and specifies that on that occasion ‘Umar was wearing the Prophet Muhammad’s mantel (al-burda), a detail confirming his tawassul through the Prophet at that occasion.[7]
Sunni ahadith
Few chosen Sunni ahadith in regard to tawassul:
“
Narrated Anas: Whenever there was drought, 'Umar bin Al-Khattab used to ask Allah for rain through Al'Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib, saying, "O Allah! We used to request our Prophet to ask You for rain, and You would give us. Now we request the uncle of our Prophet to ask You for rain, so give us rain." And they would be given rain." [16][17]
”
“
Ibn Umar reported: When the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) went out on the 'Id day, he ordered to carry a spear-and it was fixed in front of him, and he said prayer towards its (direction), and the people were behind him. And he did it in the journey, and that is the reason why the Amirs carried it. [18]
”
“
It's related from Abu Sadiq (ra) that Imam Ali (ra) said: "Three days after burying the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) The Araabi did come and did throw himself on the grave of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), he took the earth and threw it on his head. He said: "Ya Rasulallah! (Peace Be Upon Him) You did speak and we did hear, you learned from Allah and we did learn from you. Between those things which Allah did send you, is following: (4:64) I am the one, which is a sinner and now I did came to you, so that you may ask for me." After that a call from the grave did came: "Theres no doubt, you are forgiven!" [19][20]
”
“
Imam Qurtubi related the tradition through Ibn ‘Abbas: The Jews of Khaybar were often at war with the Ghatafan (tribe). When they confronted each other (in battle) the Jews were defeated. They attacked again, offering this prayer, “(O Lord,) we beg You through the mediation of the Unlettered Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) about whom You have promised us that you will send him to us at the end of time. Please help us against them.” Ibn ‘Abbas adds: whenever they faced the enemy, they offered this prayer and defeated the Ghatafan (tribe). But when the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) was sent, they denied (him). So Allah the Exalted revealed the verse: “And before that they themselves had (prayed) for victory (through the mediation of the last Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and the Book revealed to him) over the disbelievers,” that is, through your mediation, O Muhammad. [21][22]
”
“
It was narrated from 'Uthman bin Hunaif that a blind man came to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and said: "Pray to Allah to heal me." He said: "If you wish to store your reward for the Hereafter, that is better, or if you wish, I will supplicate for you." He said: "Supplicate." So he told him to perform ablution and do it well, to pray two Rak'ah, and to say this supplication: "Allahumma lnni as'aluka wa atawajjahu ilaika bimuhammadin nabiyyir-rahma. Ya Muhammadu inni qad tawajjahtu bika ila rabbi fi hajati hadhihi lituqda. Allahumma fashaffi’hu fiya (O Allah, I ask of You and I turn my face towards You by virtue of the intercession of Muhammad the Prophet of mercy. O Muhammad, I have turned to my Lord by virtue of your intercession concerning this need of mine so that it may be met. O Allah, accept his intercession concerning me)". [23][24][25]
”
Shia perspective
Seeking Intercession (tawassul) is accepted and even advised in Shi'a Islam . Shia Scholars refer to Quranic verses such as 5:3 , 12:97 and 12:98 and justify its permissibility. During the tawassul prayer Shia Muslims call on the names of Muhammad and the Ahl al-Bayt and use them as their intercessors/intermediaries to God.
[26] Shias always pray to and only to Allah, but as other Muslims, they accept tawassul as a means of seeking intercession.

Is not that there is nothing good to be derived from the Sheikh's words, after all what is quoted are verses from the Holy Quran but his explanations are laced with bias ofcourse. This man's name has come to be synonymous with wahabism and its numerous negative effects on the Umma. Acts of terrorism carried out in the name of Islam are attributed to the teachings of this man, hence the name wahabism, that violent strand of Islam financed by Saudi monarchs and followed by the ignorant ones to fight for the survival of the house of Sa'ud using religion and at the expense of the religion

First of all it was never a religious gathering Saudi National King talkles of categorizing it as Bidi'a.

People that celebrate their birthday are not doing so in the name of Islam. Are they?


Maulud is done in the name of Islam. Salatul Fatihi also is done in the name of Islam (Its even have a stipulated reward which is greater than Qur'an.)

Maulud is bid'a and all Muslim should abstain from it.

Empiree:
This One No Concern anybody. But if you feel the need to challenge it, bismillah. I have said earlier my post on Mawlud and related topics would be for educational purposes whether I am in support of it or not. Problems we are facing today is people seem to neglect Shari'a rules sometimes. We were taught basics definition of Hadith which comprises of ACTIONS, WORDS, SILENT APPROVAL of Nabi (sallaAllahu alaiy wasalam).

SHARIAH RULE that EVEN the MERE SILENCE of the Holy Prophet upon his witnessing of any event / action (and not preventing or expressly forbidding it) constitutes an implied approval of the same, and it thus becomes an approved action. It is most disappointing to see these days that Muslims are being accused of doing shirk etc at Mawlid gatherings. These are nothing but futile accusations for the very essence of being a Muslim is to worship the One and only One Deity worthy of ALL WORSHIP - Almighty Allah.


Take for example the saying of Shaykh al-Islam Imam Ibn Hajr al Haytami (Rahimuhullah):


The gatherings of Mawlid and Adhkaar which take place during our time, they are mostly confined to good deeds, for example in them, Sadaqat are given, Dhikr is done, Darud and Salam is sent upon the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and he is praised.......And the second type of gathering is sunnah which comes under those ahadith which are regarding adhkaar Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The people do not sit but they are surrounded by angels and covered by Mercy, and there descends upon them tranquillity as they remember Allah - narrated by Muslim. [Fatawa al-Hadithiyyah, Page 202] (The fatwa also warns against prohibited actions - but this is standard all year round to avoid prohibited actions)


Definition of Milad-un-Nabi

The word Milad has been derived from "viladut" which means birth. Therefore, according to the Arabic language, Milad is a word which signifies the place and time of birth. In the light of Shariah, we mean, Milad is to remember the events which took place at the birth time of the Holy Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam) and we get the opportunity of narrating the Seerat of the Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam) on this occasion. We also present the Holy Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam) gifts of Durood -o- salam. We mention before the people attributes and praises of the Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam). We do not believe that Milad is restricted to only one day but we believe that the remembrance of the Holy Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam) is incumbent in every minute and second of time. Milad un Nabi (salallaho alaihi wasalam) is a great source of preaching. It is an opportunity for dawah and the scholars to teach Muslims on this Holy occasion, moral behavior of the Holy Prophet, (salallaho alaihi wasalam) His etiquettes, His affairs, His Seerat, His dealings and His shamail.




Fixing a day or selecting one day for the propagation of Islam

One of the allegation brought is FIXING A DAY to send salaam on the prophet(SAW) for example. for this reason, they deemed it bid'a.

Did the Sahaba fix days for propagation of Islam like we see the Muslim ummah commemorating on the 12th Rabbi-ul-Awwal every year??


Read below for the answer from Sahih Bukhari..

Narrated Abu Wail: Abdullah ibn Masud (R.A) used to give a religious talk to the people on EVERY Thursday. Once a man said, "O Aba 'Abdur-Rahman! (By Allah) I wish if you could preach us daily." He replied, "The only thing which prevents me from doing so, is that I hate to bore you, and no doubt I take care of you in preaching by selecting a suitable time just as the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) used to do with us, for fear of making us bored." [Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 3, Number 70]


Of Course - the commemoration of Mawlid should not be restricted to the 12th of Rabbi-ul-Awwal but instead should be remembered every breath we take through constant dhikr of Allah and reciting durood upon the Master Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). This is why some Ulama in Nigeria also commemorate Milad on other than Rabiu Awal to avoid such criticism.

Problem we have today is some muslims rely on only parts of Shari'a i:e ACTIONS and WORDS of nabi(saw) and discard the other (SILENT APPROVAL) unless where it suits them.


more to come in sha Allah

snapscore:
With regards to Qur'an competition,

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

Is it permissible to compete for prizes in memorising Qur’an, hadeeth, fiqh and other beneficial sciences, and getting questions right? The companions of Maalik, Ahmad and ash-Shaafa‘i disallowed it, but the companions of Abu Haneefah and our shaykh regarded it as permissible; Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr also narrated that from ash-Shaafa‘i, and prizes are more appropriate in wrestling and swimming. If it is regarded as permissible to compete in these fields for prizes, then it is more appropriate that it should be permissible to compete in knowledge. This is similar to the case when (Abu Bakr) as-Siddeeq made a bet with the disbelievers of Quraysh regarding the truth of what he told them. We have stated previously that there is no shar‘i evidence to suggest that this has been abrogated, and Abu Bakr took the wager from them after gambling had been prohibited. Religion is established by means of proof and jihad; if betting was permissible with regard to tools of jihad, then it is more appropriate that it should be permissible with regard to knowledge. This view is the correct one.

The least we can say is that the scholars differed on it. But regarding the celebrating Mawlid none of the scholars viewed it as permissible except the sheikh I read on the other thread claiming that some innovations are obligatory.

Danmaiduguri:
Do u hav any ayah in quran or sahih hadith that commands muslims to celebrate maulid?

Danmaiduguri:
pls do u have any Verse in quran or Authentic hadith that say muslims should do maulid?

blantyre:
For the records, over 80% of muslims world over celebrate maulud. And I have come to notice that Muslims come in two categories, extremists and moderates. Those vehemently opposed to maulud are the extremists who ride on the pretence of purifying Islam to promote violence. They are sympathetic to terror groups like ISIS, Taliban, Al shabab and boko haram. In fact the very ideology that Terrorists use to justify killings are promoted by these salafists and wahabists. On the other hand the moderates sufists are peace loving and their beliefs radiates love, compassion and understanding. Is a rule in Islam that what justify any action in Islam is the intention behind it. We do maulud to tell the world who prophet Muhammad is, his life, struggles and achievements,

Rafidi:
not some Muslims...Wahhabis do not celebrate birthday of the Prophet (s). but these hypocrites celebrate the birthday of the King in Saudi Arabia. they also celebrate the national day of saudi (the birthday of saudi arabia). likewise they declare other Muslims who visit the graves of holy people, but they visit the grave of politicians and place wreath. hypocrisy!!! wahhabi saudi arabia is the country that identify itself as Muslim that does not celebrate mawlud.

everything that has to do with peace, and upholding Islamic heritage and honoring the figures of Islam, these Wahhabis are against. the same reasons they go about blowing up Muslims in the name of Takfir and declaring them apostates and out of the pale of Islam. they have problems with all of humanity. they hate christians, they hate hindus, they hate buddhist, they call atheists terrorists in saudi arabia, and they even kill other Muslims, especially Shia. worse, they even kill the very Sunnis who disagree with them and reject the wahhabi ideology of Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahab. all they do is to sow division and hatred among Muslims. they control the holiest places of Islam, and they have huge money from oil and they have the backing of the western powers.

when you hear that ISLAM IS PEACE, it is true! Islam is peace. but wahhabis want to turn Islam into terror. Muhammad (s), the prophet of Allah is described in the Quran as "mercy unto humanity". but Wahhabis want to make it look like he was a curse to humanity. so please, all and all, differentiate between Islam and Wahhabism. Islam is the path of peaceful Muslims. Wahhabism is the path and ideology that fuels terrorism of the likes of boko, isis, alqaeda, al shabab, al-this and al-that.

they are describing Mawlud celebration as a Shia initiation. it is not. it is Sunnah and Islamic to celebrate the Prophet's (s) birthday. nothing wrong with honoring the Prophet's (s) memory. mainstream Sunnis celebrate Mawlud. that shows you Muslims are united after all the bloodshed wahhabism has caused to divide Sunnis and Shia. the Prophet Muhammad (s) is a uniting force and his birthday should not and will not divide us. anyone who claims mawlud is "Shia", tell him that not celebrating mawlud is Wahhabi; and not celebrating it has nothing to do with Islam.
