Following Imams of Fiqh

Following Imams of Fiqh


Certain Muslim sects argue that the
following ( Taqleed ) of  four
Imams of Islamic Jurisprudence (I mam
Abdu Hanifa, Imam Maalik, Imam Shafi'i
and Imam Ahmad - RU )  is not
correct. People should  read Quran
and Hadith independently and see for
themselves and judge what is right and
what is wrong for them.  Salafis
and the like minded groups , in
particular,  stop people from
following of four Imams of fiqh, but
they do follow Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn
Abdul Wahhab blindly.    


If one has to read Quran and Hadith
independently and try to deduce fiqh
rules on his own, then the founders of
salafism Ibn Taymiyyah /Ibn Abdul
Wahhab  should also be excluded
from blind following. 

  The whole idea of self study of
Quran and Hadith and deducing fiqh rules
independently is misleading.  If
this was the case, Allah (SWT) would
have sent His books directly to the
people and asked them to deduce rules
independently.  There was no need
to send Prophets who taught us the
meanings of the holy books as per the
purport of Allah (SWT).

  1. To start a new faith, it is important
    that the established schools are
    rejected and religious authorities /
    Imams are challenged.  This is what
    the founders of Salafism
    did.   In the guise of
    following of the Prophet’s (SAWS)
    companions directly, they broke the
    established chain and authenticity of
    Islamic practices.


    Salafis  say that they follow Imam
    Ahmad bin Hanbal;  and in the same
    breath they say that they follow Ibn
    Taymiyyah.    Sometimes
    they say that they follow all four
    Imams, including Ibn Taymiyyah and Abdul
    Wahhab.  How can you  ride
    several horses at one time?   
    This type of arguments are good to
    convince innocent Muslims, but these
    will not hold good in front Allah (SWT)
    and his Apostle (SAWS).  

    Once you start following Ibn Taymiyyah
    and Ibn Abdul Wahhab,  you have
    joined Salafism at the expense of
    mainstream Islamic schools of fiqh 
    for all practical purposes. 

    Followers of Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Abdul
    Wahhab " is a separate group among
    Muslims" and they will be identified
    as such in this world as well as in
    Hereafter.    

    As a Salafi / Wahhabi /Ahle Hadith and
    the like minded, you will be standing in
    front of Allah (SWT)  in the Group
    of Ibn Abdul Wahhab and his associate
    groups on the Day of
    Judgment.   Your judgment will
    be done along with the members of these
    group.

    My dear brothers and sisters, please
    don’t be under any illusions about
    it.  

    Also remember one thing.  As per
    the Hadith (Tirmizi) of 73 sects, the
    beliefs of more than 99% of the people
    belonging to these sects/groups run the
    risk of rejection on the Day of
    Judgment.

  2. You have to distinguish between right

    and the wrong.   You cannot be

    complacent with your beliefs as

    correct.   You cannot stamp

    yourself as correct and spread your

    beliefs as truthful.  Allah (SWT)

    knows what is hidden in our

    hearts. 



    Salafis and the like minded groups

    should search their conscience and

    decide  whether Imam Hussain ®

    was on the right path or Yazid was on

    the right path.

            





    All Salafi groups believe Yazid was on

    the right path and say " Radiallahu

    ta'la unhu " with his name. 

    They choose to defend Yazid at the

    expense of Imam Hussan (RU). 

    Meaning, they accuse Imam Hussain (RU)

    as wrong doer.    



    It is in Hadith - Prophet Mohammad

    (SAWS) looked at  Hazrat Ali (RU),

    Hazrata Fatima (RA) and Imam Hassan and

    Imam Hussain (Raziallu unhum) and said

    "  "I am in war with those

    who will fight with you, and in peace

    with those who are peaceful to you."

    (Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, al-Hakim,

    Tabarani, Mishkat, etc.) Accusing

    Imam Hussain (RU) is indeed character

    assassination of the distinguished

    grandson of Prophet Mohammad

    (SAWS).  Many Ulema will agree that

    character assassination of the deceased

    Imam (RU) by Salafis / Deobandis and

    their like minded groups is a bigger

    crime than his physical assassination by

    Yazid and his cursed supporters.



    If you  decide Yazid was on the

    right path and say ( Radiallahu ta'la

    unhu) with his name, then you will be

    standing along with Yazid in front of

    Allah (SWT) on the Day of Judgment and

     your judgment will be done along

    with him.



    Think coolly, who stands a good chance

    to go to paradise.  Imam Hussain

    (RU) or Yazid?

  3. Search your conscience and find out the

    probability whether Allah (SWT) and

    Prophet Mohammad (SAWS) will favor and

    support Imam Hussain (RU) or

    Yazid? 



    Search your conscience and find out who

    could be more dear to Prophet Mohammad

    (SAWS) and Allah (SWT), Iman Hussain (R)

    or Yazid ?  



     



      Decide, would you like your

    judgment to be done along with Ahle

    Baite Rasulullah (SAWS)  or 

    Yazid,  in the company of Abdul

    Wahhab Najdi and Ibn Taymiyyah?



    If you decide Imam Hussain (RU) was on

    the right path, what he did was correct,

    and Yazid (let Allah’s curse be on

    him)  was the culprit of the

    Karbala homicide, then you will be

    standing along with Imam Hussain (RU) in

    front of Allah (SWT) on the Day of

    Judgment and your judgment will be done

    along with this great Imam of Islamic

    Ummah.



    Anyone who has read a little about

    Islamic history knows the character of

    Yazid.   He was a tyrant,

    addicted alcoholic and womanizer. 

    He attacked Makka and Madina and killed

    thousands of family members of

    Prophet’s (SAWS) house hold and

    As-habe Rasulullah (SAWS).  





    Wahhabis claim Yazid was part of an army

    of good Muslims.  But historians

    have mentioned that he was scheduled to

    join the army, but did not do so. 

    If it was the case, then Imam Ahmad

    Hanbal would not have cursed

    Yazid.  



    Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal  was asked by

    his son that a group of people (qawm)

    attribute us to [be with] Yazid , he

    replied, O son! Whoever believes in

    Allah, how can they have any association

    with Yazid? And why should he not be

    cursed (laanat) when Allah sends curse

    (laanat) on him in His Book. He asked

    where did Allah send laanat on him in

    His Book? The Imam replied “in

    this saying of Allah Ta’la”:

       “ Do you then have

    the sign that if you get the authority,

    spread disorder in the land and sever

    your ties of Kinship? These are they

    whom Allah has cursed and made them deaf

    from the truth and made their eyes

    blind. ( Mohammad -SAWS : 22-23 ), and

    then said, is there any greater fasaad

    (tribulation) than the murdering of

    Hussain (RU) " ?  



    (The above is mentioned in multiple

    sources, viz.,  Ibn Hajar Makki in

    al-Sawa’iq al-Muhriqa page 333;

    Tafsir Mazhari v. 8. p. 434;  Imam

    Barzanji in al-Isha’at; Qadi Abu

    Ya’la in Mu’tamad

    al-Usool;  Ibn al-Jawzi, etc.)



    Ibn Abdul Wahhab killed hundreds of

    thousands of Muslims belonging to Ahle

    Sunnah Wal Jama'a declaring them as

    Kuffaar.  He did not leave

    even  the graves of the dead. He

    destroyed and leveled the graves of

    Prophet Mohammad’s (SAWS)

    relatives, Companions, Imams, Ulema and

    Awliya Allah in the name of purification

    of Islam.   He could have stopped

    people from  alleged

    worshiping  of graves by several

    other means.  But he chose to

    humiliate and insult the respected

     souls by destroying and

    eliminating their traces from the face

    of earth.      He

    declared all Muslims died for 1000 years

    before him as  Mushrikeen. 

    He accused Muslims of his time as

    infidels / polytheists / deviated

    innovators and issued edict to kill them

    en masse.

  4. A prominent Islamic Scholar of  Ibn

    Abdul Wahhab’s time, Muhammad Amin

    Ibn Abidin wrote in his famous work

    ‘Hashiyya Radd Al-Mukhtar’

    (Vol. 3, Page 309).  as follows:



    QUOTE “In our time Ibn Abdul

    Wahhab Najdi appeared and attacked the

    two noble sanctuaries (Makkah and

    Madinah). He claimed to be a Hanbali,

    but his thinking was such that only he

    alone was a Muslim, and everyone else

    was a polytheist! Under this guise, he

    said that killing the Ahle Sunnah was

    permissible”



    Shaikhul Islam Hafiz Taqiuddin Ali Ibn

    Abdilkafi As Subki wrote about Ibn

    Taymiyyah  in the preface of his

    book 'Ad-Durratul Mudiyyah'. 



    " By his claims Ibn Taymiyah

    innovated foul things in the Usul of

    belief, and infringed the foundations of

    Islam and at the same time covered

    himself under the pretext of following

    the Book (Quran) and Sunnah, outwardly

    showing that he was a caller to Truth

    and a guide to Heaven, while on the

    contrary he deviated from following of

    Quran and Sunnah".  UNQUOTE



    Followi ng of four Jurisprudential Imams

    is not their personal emulation

    (Taqleed).   They are accepted

    teachers of Muslims.  The question

    here is not blind emulation

    (taqleed),  it is the matter of

    trust Muslims have in these great Imams.



    It is in Quran - ‘Prophet

    Mohammad (SAWS) is an exemplary model

    (for all of you) (Al-Ahzab – 21).





    What is the meaning of this verse? 

    Simply follow the Prophet (SAWS) in

    whatever he does. Who will follow the

    Prophet (SAWS)?  The one who has

    complete trust in him. The hypocrites in

    Prophet’s (SAWS) time did not

    follow him because they did not trust

    him.  



    After Prophet Mohammad (SAWS), people

    trusted the rightful Caliphs and

    companions of Prophet Mohammad (SAWS)

    and followed them.



    After the companions, people followed

    the Ta’abaeen (first generation

    followers of the companions of Prophet

    Mohammad -SAWS) because they trusted in

    their sincerity and knowledge.



    Then came the time of

    Taba-taba’een (the followers of

    Ta'abaeen) and people followed them.

    Then came the times of Imams of various

    Islamic subjects. This period was

    followed by the Shaikhs of Ihsan or

    truthful Sufis. People followed all

    these spiritual leaders because they had

    trust in them.



    Every time, every period in Islamic

    history we do have rightful people who

    can be followed. These virtuous souls

    are there in every place and every time.

    They are our practical guides in the

    following of the religion.



    If the requirement of following was not

    to be there, then in the presence of

    Quran, Allah (SWT) would not have asked

    people to follow the Prophet (SAWS) in

    whatever he did.

  5. It is not blind following, rather it is

    the trust in a knowledgeable Ulema

    which helps us overcome our day to day

    problems in religious life.



    Why do we go to Muftis for their edicts

    in certain issues? It is because we

    trust them for their knowledge and their

    sincerity in religion.



    If this following is removed from

    society, how will we deal with various

    issues? 



    We believed in all Imams of Hadith,

    particularly the 6 famous Imams. This is

    the reason we follow the Hadiths

    mentioned in their books. First we need

    to have trust in Imam Bukhari, then we

    will believe in the Hadith mentioned in

    his book. This way, are not we following

    Imam Bukhari ®?



    Muslims follow all venerable Imams,

    Shaikhs of Ihsan, truthful legendary

    Sufis, As-hab-e-Rasulullah (SAWS)

    in  their actions. This is the

    foundation on which the building of

    Islam has been built. If you remove this

    foundation and ask people to go back to

    the books of Hadith and Quran on their

    own and lead the life of a Muslim; will

    it be possible?  No, they will lose

    the track. They will be mislead and go

    astray.



    If you do not study a subject under the

    able and experienced teacher, there is

    100% possibility that you will be

    mislead. This is what has happened with

    Salafis. They thought, by reading books

    they can emulate and follow

    As-habe-Rasulullah (SAWS). It is simply

    not possible. They were mislead from the

    Quran and Hadith because they

    interpreted these books as per their

    limited understanding.



    What is innovation in Religion? If some

    one goes against the fact of the matter

    and says something which is contrary to

    the basic beliefs of Islam, it will be

    treated as innovation. Like Wahhabis say

    that Allah (SWT) has hands, eyes. This

    kind of statements are against the fact

    of the matter, therefore are innovation

    in the religion. Actually,  it is

    more than innovation, it is Shirk.

  6. Recently  I talked to a

    friend of mine who visited my house,

     and explained that certain person,

    who he considers his icon, his guide and

    may be his Murshid,  belongs to

    Ahle Hadith Sect.  He  reacted

    sharply.  When I mentioned 

    some of the beliefs of his icon,

    particularly supporting of Yazid at the

    expense of Imam Hussain (RU), he tried

    to defend his icon by so many

    arguments.   When I persisted

    to know his personal views about Yazid,

    he started defending Yazid with all

    possible information he had.  When

    I asked him,' is it true that Ahle

    Hadith sect is actually the name of

    Salafis in India', he was furious and

    started explaining the literal/textual

    meanings of Ahle Hadith  saying

    ‘we are all the followers of

    Sunnah’ and so on.  I

    could  gather from our conversation

    that my friend has joined Ahle Hadith

    sect long time ago, but does not want to

    accept it openly.   



    The purpose of mentioning this episode

    is to portray the situation of Muslim

    homes.  If there are 5 members in a

    family, each of them has become victim

    of a different sect.  Can anyone

    say that all members of this family will

    get salvation on the Day of

    Judgment?  The answer is an

    emphatic ‘NO”. 

    Because, as per the Hadith of 73 Sects

    (Tirmizi), at least 4 or may all of them

    will be thrown into hell fire on the Day

    of Judgment. 



    All Muslim sects, though they have sharp

    opposing views on basic faith of Islam,

    try to present themselves as Ahle Sunnah

    Wal Jama’at.  I do not

    understand this tendency.  They

    know that their beliefs are totally in

    contrast with traditional Ahle Sunnah

    Wal Jama’a,  then why they

    want themselves to be known as Ahle

    Sunnah?  They are afraid of

    Whom?  Why this hypocrisy?

      If you are the follower

    of  Salafi, Wahhabi, Shia,

    Deobandi, Tabhleegi,

    Jama’at-e-Islami, etc., say it

    openly.  First say that you belong

    to certain group, then you can say that

    your group is on the right path. 

    Why do you need to react and get angry

    when someone draws your attention

    towards the basic faith of your

    sect?  Why do you try to convince

    innocent Muslims of your sect’s

    beliefs hiding your own identity?



    This type of political mind set and

    polemic strategy  will not work

    with Allah (SWT).  In Allah’s

    (SWT) Court on the Day of Judgment, you

    will be either a Muslim or

    Non-Muslim.  You cannot convince

    Allah (SWT) of your sects beliefs as

    truthful Islamic faith by hiding your

    identity.  Allah (SWT) knows that

    out of 73 major sects and innumerable

    groups of Muslims, only one is on the

    right path.  And that one group

    will go to Jannah and the rest will be

    thrown into Hell fire permanently. 

    Therefore, you should know that your

    sect’s chances of being on the

    right path are less than 1%.

  7. Wake up my dear brothers and sisters

    from your deep slumber. Your optimism

    has no base.  You have self

    attested yourselves as truthful

    Muslims.   You are spending

    your life in propagating your

    sect’s faith and practices among

    people without realizing that what you

    are doing is wrong.  Not only you

    are in danger, but you are becoming a

    source of spreading faithlessness and

    misconceptions about Islam in

    society.  Because of you, so many

    others people will also suffer on the

    Day of Judgment.    

      



    This is a brotherly advice.  

    Do not argue as politicians do. 

    Religion is not a political field where

    everyone tries to dominate the other, by

    hook or by crook,   and try to

    get leadership of the community and form

    a Government.  



    Religion is submission to Allah (SWT)

    and His Apostle (SAWS).  Submit

    yourself to the truthful faith of Islam

    and pass in your life’s exam and

    get rewarded in Hereafter.  





    The issue is not which school of thought

    you follow.  The real issue is your

    salvation. If you chose a belief which

    is contrary to truthful Islamic beliefs,

    you will be thrown into Hell fire

    permanently.  Remember, your

    chances of being on the right path are

    less than 1%.  Prophet Mohammad

    (SAWS) Hadith (Tirmizi) of 73 sects

    clearly specifies this fact.  



    As we are close to Qiyamah, it  is

    the time of tribulation.  Thousands

     of wrong theories about Islamic

    faith are in circulation.  People

    are changing faith as they change their

    cloths.   Muslim society is in

    the state of huge turmoil.  Don't

    allow the dacoits, goons and robbers of

    faith to snatch your Islamic faith.

      They arespread everywhere in the

    guise of good Muslims. They have long

    beards, wear Islamic clothes, talk

    fluently on Islamic subjects,

    misinterpret Quranic verses and Ahadith

    to misguide innocent Muslims.  They

    look very religious and pious, their

    faces show a prominent mark of Salah on

    forehead, they perform prayers as no one

    does, their convincing style is

    exclusive, their Da'wa language looks

    very sweet to the ear, but their words

    are like poisonous arrows that wounds

    the Islamic faith of the people. Prophet

    Mohammad (SAWS) has warned Muslims to be

    away from them.
