Question:
His Excellency the Shaykh: Dr. Akram asks: How do we respond to those who claim that the term "mawataniyyah" (citizenship) originated and developed in the West as a result of the conflict with the Church, and that it is a product of secularism, on the evidence that the term "mawataniyyah" is not found in the Qur'an or the Sunnah?
Answer:
You have heard in the lecture sufficient evidence regarding the rulings on mawataniyyah (citizenship), and praise be to Allah. This is not a Western term. The West has its own citizenship, and Muslims have their own citizenship based on the Shari'ah. They have their citizenship based on their religion, customs, and traditions. So there is a difference between this and that. Yes.
