IS DENOUNCING THE DEVIANTS AN ABUSE?
Astonishingly, there are certain members of the Ahlus Sunnah Wa Jama'ah who believe and propagandize that we should not be exposing the corrupt beliefs of the deviant sects. We call them Sulah Kullis. 'They believe all sects to be correct because the deviants recite kalima like us, they perform prayer like us, they observe fast like us, they pay Zakaat like us, and they perform Hajj like us.
Have the sulah kullis ever taken the initiative to find out the beliefs (aqeeda) of the deviant sects. Do they know that the beliefs of the deviants and the Ahlus Sunnah Wa Jama'ah are on opposing ends? One cannot have the aqeeda of the Ahlus Sunnah Wa Jama'ah and the aqeeda of the deviants at the same time. This is hypocrisy.
Allah Ta'ala states in The Holy Quran:
'And those who have built a mosque in order to commit mischief and spread infidelity, and to cause dissension, among Muslims, and as an ambush for him who is already against Allah and His Messenger from before. And they will surely swear that we desired only good. And Allah bears witness that they are certainly liars'
(Surah At-Tauba. verse 107)
Some hypocrites of Madina Munawwarah built a mosque near Masjid Quba with the intention of decreasing the congregation at this blessed mosque. They requested Prophet ﷺ to perform one salaah in it to bless the mosque. Allah Ta'ala stopped His beloved Messenger ﷺ from doing this. Prophet ﷺ then gave order to demolish this mosque. According to this it was demolished and burned. (From this we learn that one should not perform salaah in unlawful mosques).
' You never enter that mosque. No doubt, the mosque whose foundation has been laid on righteousness, from the very first day, is worthy that you may stand therein. There are such people who desire to be well purified and Allah loves the pure'
Surah At-Tauba. verse 108)
The people who built this mosque (Masjid Diraar) in opposition to the blessed Masjid Quba also recited kalima like us, performed Namaaz like us, observed fast like us, paid Zakaat like us, and performed Hajj like us. Now! What fatwa will the sulah kullis give to Allah Ta'ala?
Another common objection by the sulah kullis is, 'don't talk bad about the Wahabis, Ahle Hadith, Deobandis, and the Tableeghe because we are not Allah Ta'ala to judge. However, when the sulah kullis begin to say bad about the Shia and the Qadiyani for their beliefs, do they forget that they are not Allah to judge?
The deviants call us Sunni as infidels (kafir) because we celebrate the birth of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
They call us kafir because we believe in the intercession (waseela) of Prophet ﷺ.
They call us kafir because we believe in the 'knowledge of unseen' of Prophet ﷺ.
They call us kafir because we believe in the 'omnipresent and omniscient' of
Prophet ﷺ.
They call us kafir because we believe Prophet ﷺ is alive in his grave
They call us kafir because we believe Prophet ﷺ is light with a human appearance' (noori bashar)
They call us kafir because we recite fateah and convey sawaab to the deceased.
And the list goes on.
Our beliefs (aqeeda) display the exalted position, authority, and deep respect for the beloved Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
Their beliefs (aqeeda) display extreme disrespect, hatred and enmity towards
Prophet ﷺ.
We question the sulah kullis, 'have you ever told them not to talk badly about us because we also recite kalima, we also perform Namaaz etc.'.
We challenge you, to go to them and say what you say to your fellow Sunnis.
If you believe that exposing the deviants is an abuse, then how would you deal with them, when they call us kafir?
To accept a belief of infidelity as infidelity, and a belief of Imaan as Imaan is compulsory in Islam.
Those who recite the kalima and engage in prayers but hold beliefs contrary to established Islamic faith are not in the Islamic brotherhood. Unity with them is prohibited.
Prophet ﷺ said, 'stay away from those astray from the deen and keep them away least they put you in fitna and make you astray as well'. (Muslim, Mishkat).
Have you sulah kullis forgotten what transpired in Karbala and why Hazrat Imaam Hussein(Radi Allaahu Anhu) did not compromise with Yazeed, the tyrant, the murderer, and the vulgar. Hazrat Imaam Hussein(Radi Allaahu Anhu) upheld the truth and protected the religion of Islam. He sacrificed his children and his life but did not compromise with falsehood. And you sulah kullis are going to and fro, back and forth defending their deviant beliefs, just because they are your friends and relatives, just because you do business with them. Your priority is 'what will they think about you if you don't bow down to their deviant beliefs?' Is that your level of imaan? Till date we have not pardoned Yazeed, and you are going at length defending the yazeedis. Where is your conscious?
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ' said, 'The Bani Israel was split into seventy-two sects and my ummah will divide into seventy-three sects. All of them will be in Hell except one'. The companions(Radi Allaahu Anhum) asked Prophet ﷺ, 'who are they (jannati)?' the Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, 'those who are on my path (ahle sunnah), and those on the path of my companions(Radi Allaahu Anhum) (wa jama'ah). (Trimidhi, Mishkat).
Imaam e Ahle Sunnah, Imaam Ahmed Raza Khan(Rahmatullah Alaih) said.
'Dear brothers! You are the innocent sheep (followers) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and surrounding you are wolves. Their intention is to involve you in fitna and lead you to Hell. Save and distance yourself from them. Be they Wahabi, Deobandi, Shia, Qadiyani or the confused. If you find a person who insults Allah Ta'ala and His Prophetﷺ, and he is close to you, immediately distance yourself from him. Remove him from your company as you remove a fly from your milk. From the age of thirteen years and nine months, I have been advising the beloved ummah the same and till my death will do the same'.
Imaam Ahmed Raza Khan(Rahamatullah Alaih)' was once asked, 'If a man fasts, prays and makes itikaaf, is more beloved to you or one who speaks out against innovators?' He(Rahmatullah Alaih) replied, 'If he fasts, prays and makes itikaaf, than that is for himself, but if he speaks out against the innovators, than this is for the Muslims. This is better. If you remain silent and I remain silent, then how will the ignorant people realize the authentic narrations from the weak?'
Imaam Ahmed Khan(Rahmatullah Alaih) said, 'Mixing and uniting with people of innovation and the people who have left the Ahlus Sunnah Wa Jama'ah is haraam.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, 'the best of actions is to love for the sake of Allah Ta'ala and hate for the sake of Allah Ta'ala'. (Abu Dawood).
May we ask the sulah kullis, whose teachings are you propagandizing? Whose side are you on? The deviant's side or Ahlus Sunnah Wa Jama'ah side?
Hazrat Umar(Radi Allaahu Anhu) narrates that Prophet ﷺ said, 'The parable of the hypocrite (munafiq) is that of a sheep that hesitates between two flocks, sometimes following, one, and sometimes following another, not knowing which to follow'.
Sulah Kulliat is a dangerous disease and it is a bigger threat to Sunnis than Wahabism itself.
