The Origin of the Murji'ah and That Disbelief Is by the Heart, the Tongue, and the Deed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Peace is disbelief by denial, O Shaykh, may Allah reward you. He said: A man does not become a disbeliever unless he intends to exit Islam by his action or by arrogance.
The Shaykh:
And no community is shaken.
The questioner:
What is there besides disbelief by denial, O Shaykh, may Allah reward him? And he said: A man does not become a disbeliever unless he intends to exit Islam by his action or by arrogance.
The Shaykh:
He knows, he knows, ignorant, ignorant, he knows. Disbelief is by the heart, by the tongue, and by the deed. Those who said, "We have not seen anyone like Qura," where are those people? They disbelieved by their speech.
The questioner:
What is the general principle of the Murji'ah? This is the general principle of the Murji'ah?
The Shaykh:
Yes, yes.
The questioner:
This is the general principle of the Murji'ah. They say that disbelief does not occur except by the heart.
The Shaykh:
It is by the heart, the tongue, and the deed according to all scholars.
The questioner:
And he said, I am deeper.
The Shaykh:
Correct, Abu Marzuq.
The questioner:
A Murji'i.
The Shaykh:
He came in a state, he came saying that faith is by the heart and the tongue, but he says, "What is the sky? What is the sky?" He says, "Prayer is obligatory, and zakah is obligatory, but it is not called faith?" Wrong, it is called faith.
The questioner:
They also erred regarding disbelief, O Shaykh. They erred regarding faith and they erred regarding disbelief.
The Shaykh:
This is another matter. One looks at the statements of those who declare someone a disbeliever; one looks at his statement. As for the Murji'ah who caused the issue of the Murji'ah, they are the Murji'ah who did not include deeds in faith. It is obligatory for the servant to do what Allah has made obligatory and to leave what Allah has forbidden, but they did not call it faith. They called it faith if he said it and believed with his heart, but if he did not act, the faith is deficient, it is not complete. It does not benefit anyone. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
