The Position of the Jahmiyyah and the Naming of Deviant Schools as Islamic
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A questioner says: Do we have the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) in the woman in faith, that it is a calamity from Allah, and that disbelief is Paradise? Is it known in their lands among these sinners?
The Shaykh:
The Jahmiyyah, yes, their rights are Jahmi. The Jahmiyyah in this time say that. Yes.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
And the problem is that all these schools are called Islamic, and they hold that as long as they are Islamic, they have a share, and they have a share of consideration to be looked into; they are equal. As long as they are all Islamic, they are all equal, and whoever takes one of them is a Muslim. So this Muslim, they do not say these schools are invalid, and these schools are deviant. They say they are Islamic. As long as they are Islamic, they say, "Praise be to Allah, Islam is broad." Do you know which school is in it? There is no power or strength except with Allah. This is the beginning of major misguidance. We do not call them Islamic; we call them schools of misguidance, schools of deviation.
