Five False principles of the Mu’tazilah, the deviant group

Shaykh Saalih Fawzaan:

Five principles of the Mu’tazilah, the deviant group.

1) Tawheed (literally Divine Unity)

They say that this means: denying the Attributes of Allaah. And the Mu’tazilah hold that the person who affirms the Attributes of Allaah is a person of shirk. They believe that affirming many Attributes for Allaah would necessitate affirming many different gods.

2) Adl (literally ‘justice’)

They misinterpret this to mean: denying Qadr (the Pre-decree).

They say that affirming the Pre-decree – that Allaah has knowledge of and has already written down everything which is to happen – is tyranny and oppression upon His Servants and it is obligatory upon Allaah to be just.

3) Enjoining the good and forbidding the evil

What these misguided people intend by this is: rebelling against the Muslim rulers who have fallen into sins less than shirk. And this idea of rebellion is evil itself, and is not from good whatsoever.

4) The status in this world of the person who commits a major sin

The fourth principle is that of: al manzil baynal manzilatayn – the station between the two stations. This refers to their mistaken judgement upon the major sinner that he/she has justify Islaam, but whilst still in this life, the person has not actually entered kufr (disbelief). So the person is on a station between the two stations of kufr and eemaan.

In comparison, the Khawaarij pass the judgement of kufr upon such a person in this life.

5) The fate in the hereafter of the major sinner

The fifth principle is: infaadh ul wa’eed (enforcing the textual threats). This refers to their belief that whoever dies upon a major sin less than shirk will remain in the Hellfire forever. And in this aspect of ‘aqeedah, they are in agreement with the Khawaarij who also say that the major sinner will be in the Hellfire forever in the Hereafter.

And these are the five fundamental principles of the Mu’tazilah.

VERY IMPORTANT by Moosa Richardson

As-Salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullaah

There exists the practice among some of the brothers when they write articles or place footnotes to translations, that they use the footnotes of others or their references, without mentioning that they took this footnote from them, or summarized it.

I mean by this, to give a practical example, lets say you am writing an article about the importance of sticking to the ulamaa', so you find a beautiful and highly relevant hadeeth from an article at spubs.com. So you put the quote in your article and use the reference provided by spubs, like "Al-Mu'jam Al-Kabeer of At-Tabaraanee, 12/203" for example.

Some of the dangers of this practice can be outlined as follows:

1) You have conveyed knowledge improperly, without mentioning your sources.
2) You have stolen the research of others.
3) You have violated the trust of conveying knowledge.
4) You have made people think that you are more knowledgable or more capable of research than you really are.
5) You may be using the internet to build an identity for yourself, a researcher, something that you are far from (and this has been seen many times).

Shaykh Rabee' was asked about this practice and he said it is "SARIQAH, SARIQAH!" (Theft, theft!) He said it is a case of a person taking credit for something he did not do.

Dear brother, do not count the number of times you have seen this practice, and thus misguide yourself into thinking that there is nothing really wrong with it!

Rather, increase your humbleness, mention your sources, make things clear, and do not allow a chance for people to credit you with something you did not do.

It was related that the Shaykh Al-Albaanee rahimahullaah had a dawwaar (a rotating bookshelf) that he used to keep on his desk. The shaykh actually built it himself. So one of his students remarked at what a smart invention it was. So the shaykh told him that it was not his idea originally, rather he got it from Shaykh Ahmad Shaakir and just made a bigger version.

Look how our shaykh did not want anyone to think that he came up with a simple idea that was really not his. Look at the purity of the soul in such an action, look at the clarity!

So all that is upon us is to mention our sources fully. If we are translating someone's notes on takhreej of a hadeeth, we just say after mentioning it, "This is Fulaan's takhreej of the hadeeth from the Book "Kathaa", p.xx"

By doing this, we take the way of clarity, and free ourselves from having the aforementioned problems.

Let us mutually advise each other to abandon this bad practice without blaming anyone individually for falling into it due to heedlessness or ignorance, since it is very widespread and perhaps no one has cautioned against it yet.

It is something that must be corrected, as it is something "worse than tadlees" as Shaykh Rabee' described it.

I pray that Allaah benefits you with this, and Allaah knows best.

Deviating From The Evidences Of The Qur’aan And The Sunnah

The Imam Ibn al-Qayyim [رحمه الله] said:

«ومن فارق الدليل، فقد ضل عن سواء السبيل. ولا دليل إلى الله والجنة سوى الكتاب والسنة. وكل طريق لم يصحبها دليل القرآن والسنة فهي من طرق الجحيم، والشيطان الرجيم.»

❝Whoever deviates from the evidences, then he has strayed away from the correct path. There is no evidence which leads to Allaah and Paradise other than the Book and the Sunnah. Every path which is not accompanied with the evidences from the Qur’aan and the Sunnah then it is from the path of the Hell fire and the accursed Shaytaan.❞

[Madarij As-Salikeen, (2/439) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

IF A CALAMITY BEFALLS YOU

If a calamity befalls you, look towards Allāh's favor upon you. If Allāh tests you with a sickness in your body, then surely, despite your illness, He has blessed you in your body in many other ways. Thus, the One who tested you is the One who has also favored you with countless blessings. This will assist the Muslim in being patient with calamities that befall him. If a calamity befalls him and he is patient, he will attain a tremendous position.

When Does a Slave Know that a Trial is a Test or a Punishment? – Imam Ibn Baz
Taken From the Fatawaa of our Shaykh, Allaama Mufti of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Abdul Azeez bin Abdullaah Bin Baz. Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya [Taken from : binbaz.org.sa via Sahab.net]

Question:

If a person is put to trial with a sickness or an evil affliction physically or with his wealth, how does he know that this trial is a test or Anger from Allaah?

Answer:

Allaah Azza Wa Jal tests His slaves in prosperity and adversity, in hardship and ease. He sometimes tests them with these things to raise their grade and to enhance the status of those people and to double their good deeds. Like what Allaah did for the Prophets and Messengers – alayhim as-Salaat wa as-Salaam, as well as the righteous people from the worshippers of Allaah.

Like the Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – said: the most severely of the people to be trialed are the Prophets, then those who are next in grade, then the next.

Sometimes Allaah does this due to the sins and transgression of the people, so that the punishment can be hurried.

Like Allaah Subhanahu said:

<< And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much. >>

So, what is general for humans is that they are deficient, and they do not observe all the obligatory duties. Therefore, what afflicts them is due to their sins and shortcomings with regard to Allaah’s commands.

For this reason, if someone from the righteous slaves of Allaah is afflicted with some disease or something similar, then this is from the type of trials for the Prophets and Messengers, raising of their grades and increase of reward, to be an example for others, in having patience and contentment.

So briefly, it could be a test to raise grades and to make the reward greater, like Allaah does for some of the righteous people. It could be expiation for evil deeds, as is mentioned in the saying of Allaah Ta’ala:

<< whosoever works evil, will have the recompense thereof >>

Also the saying of the Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam –: A Muslim is not afflicted with distress, nor sorrow, nor disease nor hardship, nor sadness nor any harm except that Allaah expiates from his sins even by a thorn that pricks him.

The saying of the Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – whom so ever Allaah intends good for, Allaah compels him with a trial. It could be that this is a punishment which has been hastened due to transgression by the slave and him not having hastened in repenting as is mentioned in the hadeeth of the Messenger – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – that he said:

‘If Allaah intends good for His slave then He hastens his punishment in this world, and if Allaah prescribes evil for His slave, then Allaah holds back his sins until He recompenses them for him on the Day of Judgment.’

[ Narrated by Tirmidhi & he declared it hasan]

All Praise belongs to Allaah, may His peace and blessings be upon our final Prophet Muhammad, his family, his Companions and all those who follow his guidance.

The questioner asks:

“Question: A man became impure after intimate relations (junub), so he performed tayyammum (ritual purification with dust when water isn’t available) and then found cold water… He is able to make Wudhu with it, but not able to perform Ghusl (Full Purification with a Bath) due to the coldness, what is the ruling on that? And, he he has no way of heating the water?

Making Tayammum when there is Very Cold Water – Shaykh Zayd ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee

The questioner asks: “Question: A man became impure after intimate relations (junub), so he performed tayyammum (ritual purification with dust when water isn’t available) and then found…

Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān (حفظه الله) was asked the following: “Is it correct that the souls meet after death? And is there a sign that they are in Jannah or the Fire?”1

The Shaykh (حفظه الله) responded by saying:

Yes, the souls meet. That is like in the case when He said:

اللَّـهُ يَتَوَفَّى الْأَنفُسَ حِينَ مَوْتِهَا
‘It is Allāh who takes away the souls at the time of their death...’
[Sūrah al-Zumar, 39:42]

This is the major death,

وَالَّتِي لَمْ تَمُتْ فِي مَنَامِهَا
‘...and those that die not, during their dreams.’
[Sūrah al-Zumar, 39:42]

Meaning, He takes away the soul that did not die during their dreams. Meaning, while it sleeps. Hence, sleep is [a type of] death; however, it is the minor death. Allāh said:

وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَتَوَفَّاكُم بِاللَّيْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا جَرَحْتُم بِالنَّهَارِ
‘It is He, Who takes your souls by night [when you are asleep], and has knowledge of all that you have done by day.’
[Sūrah al-Anʿām, 6:60]

The souls of the living, when they are in a state of slumber, meet with the souls of the deceased who are in their graves, and because of this they see each other, and so the living see the dead.

Furthermore, there occurs between the living and the dead an exchange of some information, and they question each other [about things] between themselves. Then Allāh snatches or holds on to the souls that death was written for, and He releases the others who are not dead. He releases them when they awake from their slumber for an unknown time which is the age that Allāh has written for them.

This is from the strangest of Allāh's abilities—that the souls of the living meet with the souls of the deceased and because of this, an exchange of information takes place between them. [Furthermore] the deceased request from the living [various] things; either [they request from them] the repaying of debts, or they inform them about things which they [eventually] find to be true as they [correctly] informed them.
