48-49 Basics Tawheed, Fiqh and ‘Aqeedah Flashcards
If it is said to you:
“What is the ruling on partisanship?”
Say: **Hizbiyyah, or having numerous parties, is unlawful (Haraam), except for the party of Allaah. **
The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:
وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُشْرِآِينَ . مِنَ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُوا دِينَهُمْ وَآَانُوا شِيَعًا آُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ
“And do not be from among the polytheists – from among those who divided their
religion and became sects – each sect rejoicing in that which it has.” [Surah Ar-
Room: 31-32]
And He says:
وَاعْتَصِمُواْ بِحَبْلِ اللّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلاَ تَفَرَّقُواْ
“And hold onto the Rope of Allaah all of you together and be not divided.” [Surah
Aali ‘Imraan: 103]
And Allaah says:
إِنَّ هَذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَأَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُونِ
“Verily, this ummah of yours is one ummah and I am your Lord, so worship Me
alone.” [Surah Al-Anbiyaa: 92]
And He says:
أَلَا إِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ
“Indeed, the party of Allaah, they are the successful ones.” [Surah Al-Mujaadilah:
22]
‘Abdullaah bin ‘Amr bin al-‘Aas reported that the Messenger of Allaah said: “My
ummah will split into seventy-three sects, all of which will be in the Hellfire,
except for one sect.” They said: “And which one is it, O Messenger of Allaah?” He
said: “That which I and my Companions are upon today.” [Reported by At-
Tirmidhee (5/26)]
This hadeeth has a supporting witness in the hadeeth of Mu’aawiyah , which has
been reported by Abu Dawood (no. 4597) and Ahmad (4/102), as well as other
supporting witnesses. Thus, the hadeeth is sound (hasan).
The Prophet’s statement: “…all of which will be in the Hellfire” shows the condition
of the people of desires, and a criticism of them.
If someone asks you:
“Which are the most misguided sects that claim to be
Islamic?”
Say: They are the Baatiniyyah, the Raafidah, the Jahmiyyah and the extremist Sufis.
