Continuation of the discussion on working with Islamic groups active in the contemporary arena.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : What was your last question?
The questioner : My question is about the importance of working with Islamic groups active in the contemporary arena?
The Shaykh : The answer is that it is not permissible for a Muslim to belong to any of these parties, because there is enmity and hatred between some of them. And we read in the Book of Allah that there is no difference between one party and another, as He said—Blessed and Exalted is He—:[Ar-Rum 30:31-32].
Yes.
The questioner : Hello.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Hello.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Hello, peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner: May Allah give you health.
The Shaykh : May Allah give you health.
The questioner: May we ask a religious question quickly?
The Shaykh : Go ahead.[An-Nisa 4:59].
Yes, yes, is the answer clear?
The questioner : Clear, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Okay, otherwise.
The questioner : May we continue with the last answer? If these Islamic groups in the country where the Muslim lives mention the choice of that country, which we consider to be like the judges... and we do not find anyone outside these parties, then...?
The Shaykh : This group.
The questioner : We consider them to be like that, meaning they are the best of the people of the country, meaning... they adhere to the rulings of the Shari'ah...
The Shaykh : Fine, and if they are like that, why do they form parties? This is not among the rulings of the Shari'ah.
The questioner : They think that this is a path to establishing the Islamic Caliphate.
The Shaykh : And can a path that contradicts Islam be a path to establishing the Islamic state?
The questioner : They consider this a part of the Islamic Caliphate.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : They consider this a part of the Islamic Shari'ah.
The Shaykh : How, my brother? There is no party verse in Islam, no, there is not.
The questioner : My question is about the importance of working with Islamic groups active in the contemporary arena?
The Shaykh : The answer is that it is not permissible for a Muslim to belong to any of these parties, because there is enmity and hatred between some of them. And we read in the Book of Allah that there is no difference between one party and another, as He said—Blessed and Exalted is He—:
and do not be of those who associate others with Allah (32) [Or] of those who have divided their religion and become sects, every faction rejoicing in what it has.
وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ " مِنَ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُوا دِينَهُمْ وَكَانُوا شِيَعًا كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَYes.
The questioner : Hello.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Hello.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Hello, peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner: May Allah give you health.
The Shaykh : May Allah give you health.
The questioner: May we ask a religious question quickly?
The Shaykh : Go ahead.
if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result.
إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًاYes, yes, is the answer clear?
The questioner : Clear, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Okay, otherwise.
The questioner : May we continue with the last answer? If these Islamic groups in the country where the Muslim lives mention the choice of that country, which we consider to be like the judges... and we do not find anyone outside these parties, then...?
