KUALA LUMPUR, July 2 — DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang has cautioned Pakatan Harapan (PH) against being perceived to be embarking on a witch hunt in government agencies and government-linked companies (GLC).

He said PH must not be seen to be vengeful towards Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders and supporters even as the new government investigates the wrongdoings under the previous regime.

“Pakatan Harapan must never give anyone any basis to think that it is finding any and every excuse, even the slightest one, to get rid of the current crop of leadership at government agencies and government-linked companies to replace them with people aligned to Pakatan Harapan.

“Pakatan Harapan is different and has to show that it is different from BN. Lines must be drawn clearly so that the Pakatan Harapan government is not and is incapable of being suspected of embarking on a journey down the slippery slope of a whole-scale witch-hunt,” the Iskandar Puteri Member of Parliament said in a press statement.

He reminded PH that it had promised to rid political favouritism and victimisation if it came to power.

Lim said Malaysians had witnessed how the BN regime abused power to the extent that innocent people — many of whom are today in Government — were victimised.

Many others, he said, became collateral damage just because they happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

“It has been said that before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves — one for the victim, and one for yourselves. This is a warning not to embark on a path of revenge as you can kill the other but you will end up also killing yourself.”

He added that as more details of massive scandals perpetrated under the BN government surface, it must be acknowledged that there are many in the civil service and GLCs who had shown integrity and honesty.

“As a country, we have to move on. Nelson Mandela, the world’s most renowned prisoner of conscience, set up the truth and reconciliation committee. We, too, have to have reconciliation in Malaysia.

“We have to uncover the truth not to seek vengeance but to allow us to better build a bright future for our children and grandchildren, without regard of race, culture, religion or language,” Lim said.

Congratulating the new Cabinet members who were sworn in this morning, Lim said they must be “humble, down-to-earth, approachable, hardworking, clean and honest and be role models of service to the people and nation and not to self and family.”

‘I am not perfect, I am only human’

‘I am not perfect, I am only human’: Najib Razak releases pre-recorded message following arrest

By Low Zoey

03 Jul 2018 11:58PM (Updated: 04 Jul 2018 02:28AM)

KUALA LUMPUR: “I am not perfect, I am only human. However, please believe that these accusations levelled against me and my family are not all true,” said former Malaysia prime minister Najib Razak.

In a pre-recorded video message released on his Twitter and Facebook page several hours after his arrest on Tuesday (Jul 3), Najib reminded Malaysians that none of the investigations into the accusations directed at him and his family have proven conclusive so far.

“I have tried my very best but I realise that it isn’t enough,” he said.

His video message to Malaysians appears to have been recorded in advance, and meant to be released in the event of an arrest.

“My dear Malaysians, if you are listening to this message, it means that actions have been taken against me,” he said.

“There has been a lot of fake news and images spread, many of them false, convoluted and slanderous. Let investigations be conducted first, I have not had the chance to defend myself,” he explained.

In his message, Najib, whose nine-year premiership came to an abrupt end on May 9, said while he was not perfect, he has been a victim of speculation and rumours, containing accusations he said “were not all true”.

"It’s true, our home was raided for days. Yes, I am being investigated and there are goods that have been confiscated. However, none of this is conclusive. There is a lot of news going around, pictures being spread, that are rumourous, false, twisted and slanderous,” he said.

Najib, saying everyone is equal in the eyes of the law, also spoke of divine justice awaiting those who spread “slander”.

“Nobody can escape, not even those in power today, or those who spread rumours while shaming others,” he said.

Since his defeat two weeks ago, Najib and his family members have been the target of police raids, with shocking images of luxury items and bags filled with cash worth millions of dollars seized from his properties linked to him.

He said he was grateful that he was made to face the “the trials of this world”.

“Not everyone has the opportunity to endure worldly trials. We all know that the trials of the afterlife are far more difficult to endure. I will face them firmly,” he said.

“Truly, Almighty Allah is all-knowing, all-merciful and all-compassionate.”

Najib: From powerful PM to graft suspect

AFP

KUALA LUMPUR: From prime minister two months ago to key suspect in a massive corruption scandal, Najib Razak’s stunning fall from grace has been swift and hard.

Since his shock election defeat in May, Najib has faced a tightening noose as the new government headed by his former mentor Dr Mahathir Mohamad ramped up investigations into allegations of graft and excess that have hung over him and his wife Rosmah Mansor for years.

The bland patrician son of one of Malaysia’s founding fathers, Najib, 64, had been groomed for the prime minister’s post from young.

When he took over in 2009, Najib initially presented himself as a reformer.

He made limited changes such as replacing security laws widely criticised as stifling dissent, offering a glimmer of hope for the end to repressive tactics by the once-invincible coalition that had held power for six decades.

But the UK-educated Najib was seen by many as an aloof elitist with little understanding of Malaysia’s common citizenry, a perception accentuated by frequent tone-deaf gaffes and policies such as the 2015 introduction of a sales tax unpopular with the poor and now set to be eliminated.

Rosmah, meanwhile, was a constant lightning rod for critics due to her imperious manner and elaborately coiffed mane of hair, which she once complained cost her RM1,200 per house-call from stylists. Malaysia’s minimum monthly wage at the time was RM900.

That and similar episodes caused her to be reviled in a multi-cultural country where most of the population are modest-living Muslims.

‘Cash is king’

Prime Minister Mahathir has said Najib told him in a private conversation in 2015 that “cash is king” in maintaining political support, a phrase that opponents have turned against Najib as a sign of his hubris and corruption.

Money and power seemed to work as a firewall against Najib through a scandal involving the 2002 purchase of French submarines while he was defence minister, a deal brokered by a close associate of his.

Allegations later emerged of huge kickbacks to Malaysian officials to secure the deal, and the scandal was punctuated by the murder of a Mongolian woman, Altantuya Shaariibuu, who was involved in the negotiations.

Her body was blown up near Kuala Lumpur using military-grade explosives.

Two officers in a special unit that guarded Malaysian ministers were convicted of the killing, but suspicion that Najib and Rosmah were involved has hovered for years, with Najib at one point being forced to deny he had an affair with the 28-year-old Altantuya.

But the final straw was 1MDB, (1Malaysia Development Berhad), the fund Najib launched to promote economic development.

Soon after Najib won a second term in 2013, 1MDB slid into a massive debt hole and allegations surfaced that money was missing.

Public disgust with reports that began to emerge four years ago detailing the plundering of the sovereign wealth fund snowballed into the Mahathir-led electoral tsunami that now has Najib in police cross-hairs.

Billions of dollars are said to be missing in the scandal, nearly US$700 million of which was deposited into Najib’s bank account alone.

US authorities say Najib’s entourage used hundreds of millions in diverted 1MDB funds to purchase high-end real estate in Beverly Hills, New York and London, a Monet painting for US$35 million, a US$5.5 million Van Gogh, a US$35 million Bombardier jet and to finance the 2013 Hollywood film “The Wolf of Wall Street”, which was produced by his stepson Riza Aziz.

A 2015 investigative report by the New York Times also alleged that millions of dollars were used to purchase jewellery for Rosmah.

In a speech last year, US Attorney General Jeff Sessions criticised those allegedly involved in the scandal, adding: “This is kleptocracy at its worst.”

Najib steadfastly denied wrongdoing, while persecuting his accusers and shutting down media outlets that reported on the affair.

Having now lost the protection of power, Najib and Rosmah face a growing public groundswell to see them jailed.

As if sensing this, the once-defiant Najib tweeted after the election: “I apologise for any shortcomings and mistakes.”

Fool, Idiot And Ignorants

" I never debated with a knowledgeable person except that I won the debate, and I have never debated with an ignorant person except that I lost.” [Imam Shafi’i]

“Fools are those who Debates with ignorants”- [Imam Shafi]

“My silence towards the idiot is indeed an answer.” (Imam Shafi’i)

Islam Itulah Kebenaran Hakiki: Jawapan untuk penganut Agama Liberal

Kesimpulannya, nilai kebenaran bertitik tolak dari neraca apa yang diguna pakai. Kerana Islam itu sempurna dan menyeluruh, tidak ada kebenaran lain yang boleh mengambil tempat Islam sebagai satu kebenaran hakiki.

Jika LGBT itu kebenaran kerana memenuhi kehendak manusia atas dasar rahmatan lil ‘alamin, maka terputuslah deen sedari zaman Nabi Lut sehingga hari ini. 

Jika pluralisme agama itu kebenaran atas asbab yang sama, maka Nabi telah menolak kebenaran apabila ditawar oleh kaum Musyrikin untuk bertukar-tukar ibadah secara bergilir. 

Jika menggadai kedudukan Islam itu kebenaran kerana ia memenuhi kehendak masyarakat majmuk, maka tidak perlulah Nabi diutuskan untuk membina umat yang bersatu atas nama Islam di bawah kekuasaan kerajaan Islam.

Islam Itulah Kebenaran Hakiki – Danial Ariff Shaari

Saya tersentak dengan beberapa kenyataan rakan-rakan berkenaan status Facebook saya baru-baru ini. Komen dan pandangan yang dikongsi membuatkan saya terfikir apakah sebenarnya fikrah atau cara fikir anda berkenaan isu yang saya bincangkan, atau berkenaan apa-apa isu secara amnya.

Berikut adalah salah satu komen tersebut;

“My point is, apakah disebabkan sesuatu agenda itu tidak dilabel Islam, dan tidak pula secara spesifik mengekstrak isi kandungannya dari sumber Islam, maka, ia secara tidak langsung terbatal sebagai sesuatu yg benar. Bukankah sifat Al-Amin Muhammad itu mendahului turunnya wahyu?”

Antara persoalan awal saya, apakah maksud kebenaran yang ingin dibincangkan? Apakah dasar atau neraca yang menjadikan sesuatu itu sebagai suatu kebenaran? Siapakah pula yang menentukan kebenaran?

Kenyataan tersebut tidak menjawab bahkan sangat subjektif. Kebenaran itu sendiri subjektif.

Namun sebagai umat Islam, sebagai seorang Muslim, saya tidak dilarang bahkan menjadi kewajipan untuk mengatakan bahawa Islam itulah kebenaran hakiki. Firman Allah dan Sunnah-sunnah Nabi yang menjadi rujukan itulah sumber rujukan untuk menentukan kebenaran, dan apa-apa yang bertentangan dengan sumber-sumber ini adalah secara jelas dan mudah difahami sebagai kebatilan yang tertolak daripada Islam.

Persoalan seterusnya, jika kebenaran itu bukan pada firman Allah dan Sunnah-sunnah RasulNya, apakah fungsi sebenar Allah mengutuskan Rasul-Rasul pada permulaannya? Allah berfirman bahawa penciptaan manusia itu tidak sia-sia, dan Allah juga berfirman bahawa Rasul-Rasul diutuskan untuk menunjuk jalan ke arah syurga melalui jalan-jalan kebenaran di bawah naungan Islam.

Jika anda merujuk kepada kehidupan sebelum zaman Nabi Muhammad bahawa kebenaran sudah pun wujud ketika itu, di mana Nabi Muhammad sudah pun digelar sebagai al-Amin, ya saya dan kita akui ia adalah kebenaran dan satu sifat yang terpuji. Namun, apakah anda menolak keistimewaan Nabi Muhammad sebagai pesuruh Allah yang dijaga oleh Allah sedari kecil untuk memastikan kejayaan dakwah Nabi menjayakan misi yang sama dengan Nabi Adam? Apakah anda terlupa akan kisah malaikat membelah dada Nabi dan menyuci hati Nabi? Adakah ini dikira kebenaran pada kaca mata Quraisy?

Kerana Qaum Quraisy mengatakan bahawa itu hanyalah dongengan, rekayasa semata-mata ataupun sihir yang terkutuk. Jika anda sendiri mengatakan ia adalah kisah benar, atau ia satu kebenaran kerana anda adalah seorang Muslim dan kerana anda seorang umat Nabi Muhammad, maka anda perlu terima kebenaran al-Quran dan as-Sunnah. Jadi mengapa perlu rujuk kebenaran lain selain merujuk kepada al-Quran dan as-Sunnah?

Jikalau anda mengatakan bahawa sifat amanah sebagai satu kebenaran itu wujud sebelum misi dakwah digalas ke atas bahu Nabi sekalipun, kedatangan Islam itu menyempurnakan kebenaran yang ada. Sabda Rasulullah mafhumnya, Nabi diutuskan untuk menyempurnakan akhlak sahabat-sahabatnya. Sememangnya ada di antara sahabat-sahabat yang sudah berbuat kebajikan sebelum memeluk Islam lagi, namun ia masih kekurangan aspek yang penting dalam kehidupan sebagai orang Islam iaitu lafaz syahadah dan kesaksian ke atas aqidah yang menjadi neraca dalam setiap perkara.

Atau jika kita mengatakan bahawa kebenaran itu sudah wujud bahkan sebelum diturunkan wahyu, anda perlu mengambil kira kronologi penciptaan manusia. Manusia terawal yang dicipta adalah Nabi Adam, seorang pesuruh dan hamba Allah. Sedari penciptaan Nabi Adam sudah wujud kebenaran, dan satu-satunya kebenaran itu adalah kebenaran deen yang mentauhidkan Allah.

Deen itulah yang menuntut manusia menjadi hamba kepada Allah, dan deen itulah yang menuntut manusia menyampaikan risalah deen kepada manusia keseluruhannya agar semua manusia tunduk kepada Allah. Ini adalah dasar kebenaran yang tidak boleh disangkal dan inilah neraca kebenaran yang sekian lama ditinggalkan.

Nabi Adam itu pesuruh Allah, dan ahli keluarganya adalah masyarakat yang menjadi sasaran dakwahnya. Dan risalah atau deen tersebut diteruskan dari zaman ke zaman sehinggalah diutuskan Nabi Muhammad di mana sebelum kewafatannya Allah sudah mengisytihar bahawa telah sempurna deen Islam dan Allah redha Islam itu satu-satunya deen atau cara hidup, fikrah atau neraca bagi manusia. Walaupun syariat di setiap zaman ketika Nabi dan Rasul diutuskan, namun dalam sudut deen, aqidah, visi dan misi tetap sama, iaitu menyampaikan risalah yang menundukan system kehidupan manusia kepada Allah dan Islam.

Inilah pegangan seorang Muslim dan umat Islam. Inilah kebenaran hakiki.

Jika kita mengambil contoh sejarah atau seerah, kaum Musyrikin mempunyai budaya kehidupan jahiliyyah, membunuh anak perempuan, berjudi, memakan harta anak yatim, perhambaan dan penindasan, saling berbunuhan dan semangat asobiyyah antara qabilah sehingga memusuhi bangsa sendiri, bagi mereka itulah kebenaran dan kebenaran ini ditentukan oleh kaum Musyrikin sendiri. Kerana bagi mereka, itulah kebenaran kerana mengikut amalan nenek moyang, itulah kebenaran kerana itulah yang diamalkan majoriti masyarakat.

Oleh sebab itulah mereka memerangi Nabi kerana Nabi membawa sesuatu yang bercanggah dengan sistem kehidupan mereka. Jadi, yang mana satu kebenaran? Siapa penentu kebenaran? Apakah pula neraca kebenaran yang dibawa Nabi? Jawapan ada pada diri anda. Kerana akhirnya jahiliyyah tidak boleh bersama dengan Islam, begitulah sebaliknya.

Jika kita menyingkap pula sejarah kejatuhan khilafah Uthmaniyyah pada tahun 1924 yang menjadi syiar kekuasaan dan kedaulatan Islam, apakah dia kebenaran? Menegakkan khilafah semula, atau tiada keperluan kerana sistem kenegaraan sudah cukup baik kerana terdapat nilai Islami dalam pentadbiran negara walaupun tidak kesemuanya? Apakah pula justifikasi kita terhadap penggulingan khalifah itu sendiri pada 1924? Adakah ia satu kebenaran? Kerana jika melihat dari kata mata selain Islam, ia adalah kebenaran dan kebenaran ini ditentukan oleh golongan yang mahu menundukan Islam yang dipelopor Barat.

Kesimpulannya, nilai kebenaran bertitik tolak dari neraca apa yang diguna pakai. Kerana Islam itu sempurna dan menyeluruh, tidak ada kebenaran lain yang boleh mengambil tempat Islam sebagai satu kebenaran hakiki.

Jika LGBT itu kebenaran kerana memenuhi kehendak manusia atas dasar rahmatan lil ‘alamin, maka terputuslah deen sedari zaman Nabi Lut sehingga hari ini. Jika pluralisme agama itu kebenaran atas asbab yang sama, maka Nabi telah menolak kebenaran apabila ditawar oleh kaum Musyrikin untuk bertukar-tukar ibadah secara bergilir. Jika menggadai kedudukan Islam itu kebenaran kerana ia memenuhi kehendak masyarakat majmuk, maka tidak perlulah Nabi diutuskan untuk membina umat yang bersatu atas nama Islam di bawah kekuasaan kerajaan Islam.

Assalammu alaikum salam wr wb.

Setakat untuk merancak aktiviti group chat kita dipagi ini.

Jawapan kepada gurauan saorang kawan

Sifat Pemurah Dan Pemahal

Satu sifat allah dari banyak2 sifat husnul adalah pemurah yang bermakna pemberian berlimpah- limpah bagi perkerjaan sedikit.

Memperolok-olok (cara gurauan) kata2 saudaranya mohon murah rezeki.

"Orang kita miskin sebab minta rezeki murah."

Sesungguhnya Allah telah mendengar perkataan orang-orang yang mengatakan: ‘Sesungguhnya Allah miskin dan kami kaya’, Kami akan mencatat perkataan mereka itu” [ Ali Imran (3):181].

Allah SWT berfirman lagi,maksudnya:

“Orang-orang Yahudi berkata: ‘Tangan Allah terbelenggu’(Allah bakhil), sebenarnya tangan merekalah yang dibelenggu dan merekalah yang dilaknat disebabkan apa yang telah mereka katakan itu. (Tidak demikian), bahkan kedua tangan Allah terbuka(amat pemurah); Dia memberi rezeki sebagaimana dikehendaki Nya” [Al-Maidah (5):64].

“Barangsiapa yang beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhirat, maka hendaklah ia berkata baik atau diam,

Merampas kembali Tradisi

Masagos cabar madrasah S'pura supaya 'rampas kembali tradisi' lahirkan cendekiawan Islam Nusantara

7/10/2017 2:15Oleh: MUHAMMAD FARIS ALFIQ MOHD AFANDI

SINGAPURA: Madrasah-madrasah Singapura dicabar supaya "merampas kembali tradisi" melahirkan golongan cendekiawan agama Islam, yang menjadi "pelita masyarakat".

Pelita dalam erti kata bukan sahaja menjadi penyuluh bidang keagamaan bagi Singapura, tetapi juga bagi negara-negara rantau ini.

"Hanya dengan cara itu, madrasah-madrasah Singapura akan menjadi institusi yang disegani."

Cabaran tersebut disuarakan Menteri Sekitaran dan Sumber Air, Masagos Zulkifli, semasa berucap di Majlis Makan Malam Ulang Tahun ke-80 Madrasah Al-Maarif Al-Islamiah, di Fairmont Hotel pada Jumaat (6 Okt).

CONTOH ULAMA PELITA MASYARAKAT

Encik Masagos kemudian memberikan contoh beberapa ulama dan tokoh yang pernah dihasilkan madrasah tempatan dan menjadi pelita masyarakat nusantara, iaitu Prof Dr Hj Awang Mahmud, Ustaz Syed Abdillah Al-Jufri dan Mu’allim Kamil Suhaimi.

Prof Dr Hj Awang Mahmud, seorang warga Brunei, merupakan pelajar Madrasah Aljunied di Singapura antara tahun 1955-1961. Beliau akhirnya menjadi pakar kehakiman dan perundangan Islam, bukan sahaja di Brunei, tetapi juga bagi rantau ini.

Ustaz Syed Abdillah, juga seorang lulusan Madrasah Aljunied, menjadi ulama dan pendakwah terkenal yang "membuat sumbangan-sumbangan penting melalui Jawatankuasa Fatwa", kata Encik Masagos. Mu'allim Kamil Suhaimi pula merupakan salah seorang tokoh Madrasah Al-Maarif yang meninggalkan pusaka ilmu dalam bentuk dokumen dan buku.

"Mereka semua adalah pelita di zaman kita yang lalu," ujar Encik Masagos di hadapan 1,000 bekas pelajar, tenaga pengajar Madrasah Al-Maarif dan golongan agamawan di majlis itu. Beliau menambah, ulama dan tokoh Islam tersebut adalah pelita kerana mereka merupakan "ulama yang peduli pada masyarakat" dan melibatkan diri dalam kehidupan masyarakat.

MASAGOS KRITIK ‘ULAMA INTERNET’

Golongan pelita sedemikian jelas Encik Masagos lagi, memimpin dengan penuh rahmah dan "bukan setakat penghukum".

Encik Masagos kemudian mempersoalkan kemunculan golongan 'ulama internet' yang cepat menghukum:

"Siapakah pelita masyarakat di Singapura sekarang? Apakah kerana belum jelas pelita masyarakat tersebut hingga terlahir ulama-ulama di internet yang muncul secara mendadak bak cendawan selepas hujan – yang cepat menghukum satu sama lain dengan ilmu ‘cut and paste’?

"Atau anak-anak madrasah yang baru keluar universiti yang tidak segan-silu menyalahkan guru sesepuh mereka hingga mencelarukan fikiran agama masyarakat?"

Mengalihkan perhatian beliau kepada Madrasah Al-Maarif, Encik Masagos berkata beliau gembira dengan visi madrasah tersebut. Iaitu, mahu melahirkan umat Islam yang kukuh jati diri dan relevan dengan peredaran zaman, serta toleran terhadap masyarakat sekeliling.

(Para pelajar Madrasah Al-Maarif. Gambar: MUIS)

Beliau seterusnya mengajak Madrasah Al-Maarif agar terus menyesuaikan program pendidikannya supaya menyajikan mata pelajaran yang kontemporari dan menggunakan pedagogi yang terkini.

Semua usaha tersebut tambah Encik Masagos lagi, memerlukan perancangan rapi dan sokongan masyarakat.

"Madrasah Al-Maarif dan madrasah-madrasah kita yang lain, akan terus melahirkan golongan ulama dan karyawan Islam yang mempunyai asas kukuh dalam kededua bidang ukhrawi dan akademik, peka akan budaya dan adat setempat, luas ufuk pemikirannya, dan dalam sifat empatinya, memberi sumbangan kepada kemaslahatan bersama dan kebaikan kemanusiaan sejagat.

"Moga madrasah Singapura melahirkan agamawan pelita masyarakat nusantara yang kita harapkan," kata Encik Masagos menggulung ucapannya.

The Few

The Prophet said:

"Islam began with a few and it will soon return to a few as it began. Goodnes to those few."

He was asked: Who are those few?

He said:

Those who purify my Sunnah after the people polluted them and those who revive my sunnah after their death.

In another narration:

The few are a few righteous people in the midst of many unrighteous men.

Meaning a few righteous people among the people of al sunnah wal jamaah in the midst of many unrighteous men  of al sunnah wal jamaah .

Not  a few righteous people who some people  like to think are the salafi.

The majority of prophet's ummah they said - the kufar , ahli bidaa, grave worshipper.

And if you obey most of the people on Earth, they will lead you astray. (Quran 6: 116)

And most of mankind will not believe, even if you (O Muhammad) desire it eagerly.(Quran 12: 103)

And truly, most of mankind are rebellious and disobedient (to God). (Quran 5: 49)

But nay, most of mankind are ungrateful. (Quran 12: 38)

Meaning dividing mankind into two group: The Mushirikin and the Believer. Most of the mankind are Mushirikin but a few are the Believer.

What the Prophet said regarding allah words mentioned above:

Follow the way of the largest group of Muslims! Not the most of the people on Earth.

1. Hazrat Abdullah Ibn-e-Abbas says that the Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon Him) addressed the people at the time of last hajj“O people! I’m leaving behind among you, the Holy book (Quran) and the Sunnah. If you follow these in letter and spirit, you will never be strayed.” (Hakim Al-Mustadrik Book#1 Hadith # 318)

2. The Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Follow the way of the largest group of Muslims! For, he who deviates from this group will be thrown into Hell!” [Sunnan Ibn Majah, Hadith # 3950]

3. The Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Allah will never allow my Ummah to unite upon misguidance and incorrect beliefs. Allah’s mercy, blessings and protection are with the largest group of Muslims. And he who deviates from this largest group of Muslims will be thrown into Hell.” (Sunan Al Tirmizi Vol.2 Pg.39)

4. The Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “He who deviates from the largest group of Muslims, even as much as a hand span, has himself cut off his connection with Islam”. (Abu Dawud)

5. 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-‘Azam), and whoever dissents from them departs to hell(al-Tirmidhi (4/2167) a narration authenticated and reported by al-Hakim (1/116), and al-Dhahabi agreed with him, Scholars explained that Sawad al Azam here refers to great Ulama

6. Hadrat Abu Masud (RA) narrates: Stick to the Jamaat because Allah azza Wajjal will “NEVER GATHER THE UMMAH OF MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE UPON HIM) UPON MISGUIDANCE” [Imam Tabarani in his Mu’jam al Kabir, Volume No. 17, Page No. 240] – Imam al Haythami declared all the Rijaal of this hadith as “THIQA” [Majma (5/394, Hadith # 9107)]

 The above mentioned Hadiths without doubt make clear which group the Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) had indicated as being the group of ‘Paradise’, ‘Majority Group’ & the group of ‘Salvation’. For the benefit of any doubting individuals, let it be known, that, no great Imam or scholar of the golden age of Islam ever rejected the above Hadiths as being weak in narration or otherwise impaired in anyway, on contrary the great Imams have whole heartedly accepted these hadiths and further more commented on them.

Dividing the ummah into salaf and khalaf,Sufi and ahlhadis, salafi and ashariah, are practising the worse bidaa.

The truth is that the ummah of the prophet is divided between the righteous and unrighteous people.

Now these people do not call their brother kafir but ahl bidaa.

The brothers of the Prophet are all who believe: The Khalaf

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “I wish I could meet my brothers.” The Prophet’s companions said, “Are we not your brothers?” The Prophet said, “You are my companions, but my brothers are those who have faith in me although they never saw me.”

Source: Musnad Aḥmad 12169

The Righteous And The Unrighteous: Who Are They?

A group of Companions said: “The first knowledge to be raised from the people would be humility [khushu].

Reach the heart:

Ibn Mas’ud said: ‘there are a people who recite the Qur’an yet it does not go any further than their throats; were it to reach the heart and take root there-in, it is then that it would benefit”. p. 58

Arrogant Claim:

Umar said: 

Whoever says I am a scholar is an ignoramus, whoever says I am a believer is a disbeliever, and whoever says i am in the paradise is in the hell-fire”. p. 61. simply put Islamic salvation does not cater for arrogant claims.

Be Careful Who You Call A Kafir

Assalaam Alakium,

I got this from a message group I belong to and thought it was good.

Bismillahi ar-Rahmani ar-Raheem

In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

BE CAREFUL WHO YOU CALL A KAFIR

Prophet Muhammad (Salalaho alehe wasalam) said : 

If a person says to his brother, O KAFIR (disbeliever) ! Then surely one of them is such. (i.e; Kafir) (Sahih Bukhari Volume 8 Book 73 Number 125)

Prophet Muhammad (Salalaho alehe wasalam) said : 

Any person who calls his brother: O Unbeliever! (then the truth of this label) would return to one of them. If it is true, (then it is) as he asserted, (but if it is not true), then it returns to him (and thus the person who made the accusation is an Unbeliever). [Sahih Muslim Book 001, Number 0117:]

Prophet Muhammad (Salalaho alehe wasalam) has warned us that if a person calls another KAFIR and the person called that is not one, then the individual who made the accusation is a KAFIR. And he/she has to perform TAJDEED-E-IMAAN and TAJDEED-E-NIKAH (if married)

Therefore, if you call other Muslims "kafir" or "mushrik" without discrimination, you could find that you have left Islam, according to the words of the Prophet (s.a.w.), in less than a second. 

Be careful who you call Kafir because only Allah knows who is truly a rejector and who is merely a misguided person.

It is not up to us to "sentence" a person to the Hellfire.

Imaan is our actual wealth. So we must be very careful while talking.

Waste no time in debating what a good Muslim should be. Be one!

May Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'la) save all of us from uttering KUFRIA KALMAT. (Allahuma Ameen) 

Salaam,
SisterKhadija
