The Ruling on Admiring the Morals and Organization of the Disbelievers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Some people do not hide their admiration for certain morals of the disbelievers, such as their good organization of life affairs and their management of them. Is this considered a form of their loyalty and love for them?
Answer:
Yes, this is a type of exalting them and praising them. This is a form of exalting them. What they have of the adornment of this world is a trial for them. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says:[Taha 20:131] So think: which is better, faith in Allah and His Messenger, or the transient adornment of this world? Praise be to Allah, they have the adornment of this world, but you have faith, which cannot be bought with any price. Their adornment of this world is a trial for them, and it is transient. As for you, you have faith, which is the basis of happiness, even if you have nothing from this world.
So you are the noble one. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says:[Ali 'Imran 3:139] [Al-Munafiqun 63:8] So think about your faith and the blessing Allah has given you, and think about their disbelief and the trial and test they face with the adornment of this world. Know that they are being tested in this, and that this is a means of misguidance for them. Yes.
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Some people do not hide their admiration for certain morals of the disbelievers, such as their good organization of life affairs and their management of them. Is this considered a form of their loyalty and love for them?
Answer:
Yes, this is a type of exalting them and praising them. This is a form of exalting them. What they have of the adornment of this world is a trial for them. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says:
And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring.
وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِّنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰSo you are the noble one. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says:
and you will be superior if you are [true] believers.
وَأَنتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَAnd to Allah belongs [all] honor, and to His Messenger, and to the believers
وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
