Another questioner: His EminenceThe Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, and that is sufficient, and may peace and blessings be upon the Chosen One (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). I am your brother in Allah, Abd al-Nasser from Algeria. We want, if Allah wills (Blessed and Exalted is He), for you to clarify for us some issues concerning the Islamic Salvation Front. The first question posed to your Eminence isThe Shaykh : What is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding the Islamic Salvation Front? We want a concise word from you: Is it permissible to establish a party like the Islamic Salvation Front in Algeria, or not?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible, my brother. This was discussed in detail earlier. There is no partisanship in Islam.
The questioner : There is no partisanship in Islam. The second question.
The Shaykh : Listen.
Abu Layla: The recorder is Hami. Our Shaykh,
The Shaykh : This is an Algerian. These are the remaining brothers. Please, I was informed that the number of members of the Front is so many millions. Is that correct?
The questioner : Allah knows best. I do not know the number, but as for supporters, Allah knows best. It is not by number, and Allah knows best.
The Shaykh : No problem, no problem. You are Egyptian and you are Algerian, and the people of Makkah know its valleys best. How do you estimate their number?
The questioner : About eight thousand.
The Shaykh : Eight thousand. When was the Front established?
The questioner : Islamic?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : February 14.
The Shaykh : I do not understand the French. I mean, how many years ago?
The questioner : Two years, a year and a half.
The Shaykh : A year and a half, or less than five years. Did all of them know Islam, in terms of creed, worship, morals, and behavior?
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : This is a modern Islam. Establish the state of Islam in your hearts, and it will be established in your land. One who lacks a thing cannot give it. Therefore, I do not look with optimism upon this Front, nor upon any other, because they are rushing matters. And whoever hastens a thing before its time is tried with its deprivation. Therefore, I do not support this partisanship. In fact, there are some parties stronger than this one in terms of Islamic upbringing, yet they deviated in many or few of the Islamic legal rulings, as was explained earlier and recently.
