..:: Sullah Qulli (The Cancer Of People With Weak Imaan) The Love And Respects For Every Sect?! ::..
The title, Ahlus Sunnah, which the innovators have expressed for themselves is not appropriate for them.
Sulla Qulliat is a disease and it is spreading. Sulla Qulliat are people who don't differentiate Between Ahlus Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah and the false sects such as Wahhabis, Deobandis and Shi'a. They deem it permissible to sit, pray and socialise with them. Sulla Qullis do not condemn any false sect and will invite Wahhabis, Deobandis and Shi'as to their gatherings and will these innovators speak in their mosques etc.
This is why Sulla Qulliat is such a dangerous illness. Innocent sunnis are tricked into thinking that Wahhabis, Deobandis and Shi'a are upon the truth too and that we should treat them like we would a sunni. Their false and sometimes kufri beliefs are played down and judged to be minor issues.
Does Sulla Qulliat fit in with the teaching of the Qur'an, Sunnah and sayings of our scholars? No, it doesn't. Treating the people of innovation as brothers has always been something strongly discouraged in Islam. Here are some examples of this:
The dear prophet SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sahbihi Wa Sallam said: Whoever accommodates an innovator then upon him is the curse of Allah, His Angels and the whole of mankind.
Today, never mind "accommodating"; there are "scholars" who are making people the organisers of our gatherings who have lenience towards the innovators.
Let's look at the Qur'an, Hadith and the Scholars of Ahlus Sunnah wa'l Jama'ah
Many people today like to classify themselves as belonging to the Saved Sect (Firqatun Najiyyah) Ahl as-Sunnah Wa'l Jama'ah; but do these people really know which is the Saved Sect, from the many sects we have today?
The Maturidis and Ash'aris are the elite of Ahlus Sunnah and the supporters of the laws of the Religion. They stood up to refute the innovators of misguidance among the Qadariyyah and others. The one who slanders them, in fact, slanders Ahlus Sunnah. The one in charge of Muslims has to discipline such people in a way to stop others from imitating them."
''And do not mix the Truth with Falsehood, nor purposely conceal the Truth.''
[al-Qur'an 2:42]
And there should be a group among you that invites to goodness, and enjoins good deeds and forbids immorality; it is they who are the successful.
[al-Qur'an 3:104]
"You are the best of peoples ever raised for mankind; you enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, and you believe in Allah".
[al-Qur'an 7:157]
''And Tell that Truth has come and Falsehood has been destroyed. And Batil was bound to perish.''
[al-Qur'an 17:81]
'If one says a blasphemous statement, performs a blasphemous act or believes a blasphemous beliefs while, unaware that one has committed blasphemy, one is not excused. Rather one is still judged as blasphemer''
[Qadi Iyad al-Maliki, Abu Ḥamid al-Ghazali ash-Shafi'i, Ibn Hajar al-Haytami ash-Shafii, Ahmad Rida Khan al-Hanafi and many others Alayhum Ridwan]
''Allah will never let my Ummah agree upon misguidance, and the hand of Allah is over the group (Jama'ah), so follow the great mass of believers (Sawad ul-'Adham), and whoever dissents from them departs to hell''
[Tirmidhi, Hakim]
Narrated by Abu Hurayrah RadiAllahu Anh that the Prophet SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sahbihi Wa Sallam said; ''There will be Dajjals and liars among my Ummah. They will tell you something new, which neither you nor your forefathers have heard. Be on your guard against them, and do not let them lead you astray.' "
[Ahmad, al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah]
Narrated by Abu Dharr RadiAllahu Anh that the Prophet SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Aalihi wa Sahbihi Wa Sallam said, "Enjoining the good and forbidding the evil will be counted for you as sadaqah (charity)."
[Bukhari, Tirmidhi, Ibn Hibban]
Narrated Hudhaifa bin al-Yaman RadiAllahu Anhuma; "The people used to ask the Prophet SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sahbihi Wa Sallam about the good but I used to ask him about the evil lest I should be overtaken by them. So he said; "O Allah's Apostle! We were living in ignorance and in an (extremely) worst atmosphere, then Allah brought to us this good (i.e., Islam); will there be any evil after this good?"
He said; "Yes."
I said; 'Will there be any good after that evil?"
He replied; "Yes, but it will be tainted (not pure.)''
I asked; "What will be its taint?"
He replied; "(There will be) some people who will guide others not according to my tradition? You will approve of some of their deeds and disapprove of some others."
I asked; "Will there be any evil after that good?"
He replied; "Yes, (there will be) some people calling at the gates of the (Hell) Fire, and whoever will respond to their call, will be thrown by them into the (Hell) Fire."
I said" "O Allah s Apostle! Will you describe them to us?"
He said; "They will be from our own people and will speak our language."
I said; "What do you order me to do if such a state should take place in my life?"
He said; "Stick to the group of Muslims and their Imam (ruler)."
I said; "If there is neither a group of Muslims nor an Imam (ruler)?"
He said; "Then turn away from all those sects even if you were to bite (eat) the roots of a tree till death overtakes you while you are in that state."
[Bukhari]
Narrated by Abdullah ibn 'Amr RadiAllahu Anh that the SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sahbihi Wa Sallam said; "The Hour will not come until Allah takes away the best people on earth; only the worst people will be left; they will not know any good or forbid any evil."
[Ahmad, al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah]
NB: Innovation in the context below refers to innovations in the matter of Aqeedah and not Fiqh.
"he who establishes an innovation in Islam regarding it as something good, has claimed that Muhammad has betrayed his trust to deliver the message as God says, 'this day have I perfected for you your religion'. And whatsoever was not part of the religion then, is not part of the religion today."
من زعم أن في الإسلام بدعة حسنة فقد زعم أن محمدا خان رسالته”
Whoever believes that there is in Islaam good innovation (bid’ah hasanah) he has believed that Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم) has not fulfilled his mission/message.
“Our land has much innovation (بدعة), and I have compiled a work refuting them.”
[Imam Malik RadiAllahu Anh]
It was once said to Imam Ahmad; ''If a man Fasts, prays and makes Itikaaf, is more beloved to you or that he speaks out against the innovators?''
So he replied; ''If he fasts and prays and makes Itikaaf, then 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, than how will the ignorant person know (realize) the authentic narrations from the weak''
[Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal RadiAllahu Anh in Majmoo al-Fatawa]
''Do not sit with the people of innovation and desires, nor argue with them, nor listen to them.''
[Hasan al-Basri RadiAllahu Anh]
"Whoever loves Abu Bakr RadiAllahu Anh has established the deen. Whoever loves Umar RadiAllahu Anh has made the way clear. Whoever loves Uthman RadiAllahu Anh has been illuminated by the light of Allah. Whoever loves Ali RadiAllahu Anh has taken hold of the firm handle. Whoever praises the Companions of The Prophet SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Aalihi wa Sahbihi Wa Sallam is free of hypocrisy. Whoever disparages any of them is an innovator opposing the Sunnah and the right-acting Salaf. It is feared that none of his actions will rise to heaven until he loves them all and his heart is sound."
[Ayyub as-Sakhtiyani RadiAllahu Anh]
''Whoever listens to an innovator (Ahlul Bid'ah) has left the protection of Allah. Again, listening is a far lesser act than actually formally inviting someone to a Sunni gathering who is known to associate with innovators (a person from Ahlul Bid'ah).''
[Sufyan at-Thawri RadiAllahu Anh]
''Even if you see an innovator of religion fly in the air then too you should never accept him''
[Maroof al-Karkhi RadiAllahu Anh]
"Forbid evil and Enjoining good"
[Shaykh ul-Islam Abu Mansoor al-Maturidi RadiAllahu Anh]
"I do not initiate talking with those innovators of misguidance."
[Shaykh ul-Islam Abu al-Hassan al-Ash'ari]
Shaykh ul-Islam Imam Shaykh Taqi ad-Din Subki Alayhi Rahma said; ''It is permissible to take Tawasul of all Righteous people. Infact no Muslim ever rejected this, only those people who were from different sect (Innovators in religion, Non-Sunni) rejected Tawasul.
[Shaykh ul-Islam Taqi ad-Din Subki Alayhhi Rahma in as-Shifa as-Siqam]
"You are the best of peoples only if you Enjoining good and forbid evil."
[Imam al-Qurtubi Alayhi Rahma]
"You should know that this issue, the enjoining good and forbidding evil, has mostly been neglected over a long period of time. What remains of it today is but a few traces, all despite the fact that it is an important issue which lies at the heart of all affairs."
Therefore, this compliment of our Ummah depends on whether we enjoy these two characteristics. If we do not, we will no longer be worthy of this praise. Indeed, we will deserve chastisement and be doomed for destruction.
[Imam an-Nawawi Alayhi Rahma]
''I do not have the power to avenge the accursed blasphemer myself, but Allah Azza wa Jal knows that my heart despises him; yet, it is not sufficient to merely consider it evil in the heart, rather it is incumbent upon me to strive as much as I can with my tongue and my pen. I beseech Allah Azza wa Jal to not reprimand me for the paucity of my response and that he grants me salvation which He grants those who forbid from evil; Verily, He is Oft-forgiving, the Pardoner''
[Shaykh ul-Islam Taqiyuddin as-Subki Alayhi Rahma in Sayf al-Maslul]
"A Mubtadi (innovator) is the person who does not have the faith (Aqeedah) conveyed unanimously by the Ahle Sunnah. This unanimity was transmitted by the two great Imam's Abu al-Hassan al-Ash'ari and Abu Mansur al-Maturidi Alayhum Rahma and the scholars who followed their path. Man of Bidd'ah means one whose beliefs are different from the Ahle Sunnah faith Aqeedah). The Ahle Sunnah faith Aqeedah), is the faith Aqeedah) of Abu al-Hassan al-Ash'ari, Abu Mansur al-Maturidi and those who followed them. One who brings forth something which is not approved by Islam becomes a man of Bbidd'ah."
[Shaykh al-Islam Ahmad ibn Hajar al-Haytami al-Makki]
''Enjoining the good and forbidding the evil is a collective duty, if some of the people carry it out then the intent is met and the obligation is lifted, but if it is neglected then everyone is responsible and sinful.''
[Imam an-Nawawi Rahmatullah Alayhi]
''The Qur'an, the Sunnah and the consensus (Ijmah) of the Ummah are in accord that enjoining good and forbidding evil is an (Islamic) obligation."
[Imam an-Nawawi Alayhi Rahma]
وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ ابْيَضَّتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ فَفِي رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ
"On the Day (of Resurrection) when some faces will become white and some faces will become black"
On the Tafsir of al-Qur'an 3:106,
Ibn Abbas RadiAllahu Anh said; "Those whose faces will be bright will be Ahle Sunnah Wa'l Jama'ah and those whose faces will be dark will be Ahlul Bid'ah Wal Firqah."
[Tafsir Ibn Abbas, Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir al-Qurtubi and Tafsir al-Tabari]
"Mixing and uniting with the people of innovation (Ahlul Bid'ah) and the people who have left the Ahul Sunnah is Haram."
[Imam Ahmad Rida Khan Alayhi Rahma]
"To visit the graves of the Auliya is the sign that one has sincere love for Allah. To state that those who visit the graves are innovators or are kuffar (disbelievers) is open misguidance and foolishness"
[Imam Muhammad as-Sawi al-Malik Rahmatullah Alayhi in al-Tafsir al-Sawi]
"Each Believer must protect his faith by learning the creed (Aqeedah) of one of the imams who are incontestably worthy of respect, and well-grounded in knowledge (i.e. from among the followers of Imam al-Ash'ari and Imam al-Maturidi RadiAllahu Anhuma, as indicated in the passages before)"
[Imam Abdallah Ibn Alawi al-Haddad Alayhi Rahma in The Book of Assistance]
You must correct and protect your beliefs and conform to the pattern of the party of salvation, who are those known from among the other Islamic factions as the "People of the Sunnah and Jama'ah" (Ahl as-Sunnah wa'l Jama'ah). They are those who firmly adhere to the way of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and of his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all).
If you look with a sound understanding into those passages relating to the sciences of faith in the Book (Qur'an), the Sunnah, and the saying of the virtuous predecessors, whether they be Companions or followers, you will know for certain that the truth is with the party called the Ashari (NB-the Maturidi's are also upon the truth), named after the Shaykh Abu'l Hasan al-Ashari, may Allah have mercy on him, who systematized the foundations of the creed of the people of the truth, and recorded its earliest versions, these being the beliefs with the Companions and the best among the followers agreed upon."
[ImamAbdallah Ibn Alawi al-Haddad Alayhi Rahma in The Book of Assistance]
"Salvation depends on the fact that every single belief of the Ahle Sunnah wa'l Jama'ah be so firm that one will remain firm even if the sky and the earth vanishes."
[Ahmad Rida Khan Rahmatullah Alayhi]
''When your teachers tie the Imamah (turban) of graduation on your heads, (know) they are passing to you a responsibility. When Fitna and Bid'ah rise, you must respond to it, this is your responsibility.''
[Shaykh Irfan Shah al-Mashadi al-Husayni]
''In every century there will be a Jama'ah presenting Ahlul Haq, the Haq Jama'ah is the Jama'ah what the Sahaba has left, fighting the Batil (Ahlul Bid'ah), The Haq is the Ahlus Sunnah wa'l Jama'ah what the Prophet SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wwa Sahbihi Wa Sallam stated not Salafis-Wahhabis, Shia's, Deobandis, Tablighis and other minded sect's''
[Shayk Irfan Shah al-Husayni]
''Today people with zero knowledge about the Qur'an and Sunnah have started giving out absurd Fatwas and there by misleading the Muslim Ummah. The destroyers and the enemies of Islam like the Salafis, Wahhabis, Deos, Shi'i and Sullah Qullis
Don't Pull Out Your Bid'ah And Shirk Slogans When The Ahle Sunnah Wal Jama'ah Put Haq There! To throw the Accusation of Shirk on Muslims! Indeed that person is out of the circle of Islam, and Yet not Know what Shirk means!"
They are destroying 1400 years of scholarship to promote misguidance and Kufr!!''
