The claim that humanity has reverted to worshipping created beings
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I read in one of the tafsirs the statement that humanity has reverted to worshipping created beings, to the distortion of religions, and has turned back from "La ilaha illa Allah," even though a group among them continues to recite "La ilaha illa Allah" from the minarets. What is your comment on this, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
This comes from this source, which is the source of takfir (declaring someone a disbeliever) and the methodology of the Khawarij. In fact, it claims that all Muslims are apostates, even if they pray and call the adhan. This is the methodology of the Khawarij; indeed, it is from the most extreme of the Khawarij. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
