ISIS/Daesh, Taliban, Boko Haram Un-Islamic Heretic Cults
Khawarji Fitnah:
Fitnah
(trial, or test), which refer to heretical uprisings, especially the first
major internal struggle within the Muslim community (656-661 C.E), which
resulted in both civil war and religious schism. During the reign of the third
caliph, 'Uthman, certain rebellious groups accused the Caliph of nepotism and
misrule, and the resulting discontent led to his assassination. The rebels then recognized
the Prophet's cousin and son-in-law, 'Ali, as ruler but later deserted him and
fought against him, accusing him of having committed a grave sin in submitting
his claim to the caliphate to arbitration, they are called Khawarij. The word Kharaju, from which Khariji
is derived, means "to withdraw" and Khawarij, believed in active dissent or rebellion against a state of affairs they
considered to be gravely impious. The basic doctrine
of the Khawarij was that: “A person or a group who committed a grave
error or sin and did not sincerely repent ceased to be Muslim”.
According to them mere profession of the faith "there is no god but God;
Muhammad is the prophet of God” did not make a person a Muslim unless this
faith was accompanied by righteous deeds. In other words, good works were an
integral part of faith and not extraneous to it.
The second principle that flowed from
their aggressive idealism was militancy, or Jihad, which the Khawarij
considered to be among the cardinal principles, or pillars, of Islam.
Contrary to the orthodox view, they interpreted the Qur’anic command about
"enjoining good and forbidding evil"(Qur’an;3:104) to mean the vindication of truth through the sword. The placing
of these two principles together made the Khawarij highly inflammable
fanatics, intolerant of almost any established political authority. They incessantly resorted
to rebellion and as a result were virtually wiped out during the first two
centuries of Islam. Although till recently Chasidism has been
considered essentially a story of the past, which left permanent influence on
Islam, because of reaction against it. It forced the religious leadership of
the community to formulate a bulwark against religious intolerance and
fanaticism.
Taliban:
The term ‘Taliban’ [plural of Talib, (the seeker of religious knowledge, particularly the Islamic knowledge, a student) is generally used for the students of Madrisah (religious seminary). The term ‘Taliban’ was started to be used for the militant group of students and religious leaders who established the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in 1994-96 in order to end the lengthy civil war following the withdrawal of the Soviets from the region in 1989. Led by Mullah Omar, they promoted Islam as a moral, sable, and orderly alternative to civil war, ethnic divisions, and warring tribal chiefs. They followed strict, literal and conservative interpretations of Islam and rely on strict punishments and executions. Influenced primarily by Wahabi (Deobandi) teachers and Pashtun tribal traditions. The regime was denounced by international human rights organizations for absolute segregation of women and violation of human rights. They were initially welcomed by the people of Afghanistan for restoring peace, however could not continue their rule in Afghanistan after 9/11 due to US intervention. However they continue to resist US and NATO forces in Afghanistan , to reestablish sovereignty. The situation in Pakistan , a sovereign Islamic State is totally different to Afghanistan . Some misguided local elements supported by foreign powers are being used by the enemies of Pakistan and Islam, to achieve their strategic objectives. While Muslims are being oppressed by occupation forces in Palestine , Kashmir , Chechnya Iraq , Afghanistan and elsewhere, the Taliban are indiscriminately killing innocent Muslims, not even sparing women and children and worshippers at mosques through suicide bombers. Such heinous acts are being done on the name of Islam, to serve the cause of Allah. Calling these criminal and misguided, semi literate people as Taliban is a misnomer. Their Takfir doctrine is in direct conflict with the basic teachings of Islam, The are creating fasad-fil-ardh (mischief on land). This phenomena of ‘Fitnah’ is not new in the Muslim history.
Khwarij Taliban & Violation of Qur’an:
The Takfiri doctrine is not based upon any
direct clear commandment or ayah of
Qur’an, it is derivative, based upon analogy (taweel), which can have more than one opinions. “The fact is that
most of them follow nothing but mere conjecture and conjecture is in no way a
substitute for the truth. Surely Allah is well aware of all that they
do.”(Qur’an;10:36 ). However
through their violent terrorist acts, Taliban are violating the clear verses (Ayahs) and Hadiths. No Muslim worth the
name will ever dare to even think of rejecting or violating the unambiguous commandments
of Allah, clearly mentioned in Qur’an and Hadith, some are:
Disregarding
the Ayahs
annuls good deeds:
Allah says: “Those whose all efforts in
this worldly life had gone astray from the Right Way, but all along they were under
the delusion that they were doing good deeds; they are the ones who are
disregarding the Ayaat (revelations, verses) of their Lord and the
fact that they will meet Him for accountability of their deeds in the
Hereafter, so their deeds will become null and will not carry any weight on the
Day of Judgment.”(Qur’an;18:104-105)
Killing a believer, major sin: “Whoever kills a believer
intentionally, his punishment is hell to live therein forever. He shall incur
the wrath of Allah, Who will lay His curse on him and prepare for him a woeful
punishment.”(Qur’an;4:93). How far it is justifiable to kill
some Muslim who believes in all the fundamentals of Islam but lack in practice.
Does Qur’an or any authentic Hadith directly mention to kill such a Muslim? Is
there any example where the Prophet (peace be upon him) executed such a Muslim?
If the answer is not in affirmative, then how stateless groups like Taliban can
justify killing such Muslims on the basis of their skeptical analogy, rejected
by majority scholars including Imam Abu Hanifah.
Killing of innocent human not
permitted: Allah says: “..whoever kills a person, except as a
punishment for murder or mischief in the land, it will be written in his book
of deeds as if he had killed all the human beings and whoever will save a life
shall be regarded as if he gave life to all the human beings..”(Qur’an;5:32 ); Allah says: “You shall not
kill anyone whom God has forbidden, except for just cause under the law. If
anyone is killed unjustly, We have granted the right of retribution to his
heir, but let him not carry his vengeance too far in killing the culprit
through taking the law in his own hands, as he is supported by the
law.”(Qur’an;17:33 )
Mischief on land rejected: Allah
says: “.. and do not seek mischief in the land, for Allah does not love the
mischief makers.”(Al-Qasas;28:77) Allah says: “When it is said to them: “Do not
make mischief on earth,” they say: “We make peace. Be aware! They are the ones
who make mischief but they do not realize it.”(Al-Baqara;2:11 -12 similarly also at 2:60, 206, 3:63, 7:56 ). “The punishment of those who
wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for
mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of
hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their
disgrace In This world, and a heavy punishment is theirs In the Hereafter.
Except for those who repent before they fall into your power: in that case know
that Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.”(Qur’an;5:33-34). The double crime
of treason against the State combined with treason against Allah, and His
Messenger as shown by overt crimes, four alternative punishments are mentioned,
any one of which is to be applied according to the crime committed. In any case
sincere repentance before it was too late was recognized as a ground for mercy.
Fighting permitted in defence with
in limits – No Transgression: Allah says: “Fight in
the cause of Allah with those who fight against you, but do not exceed the
limits. Allah does not like transgressors.”(Qur’an;2:190).
Kindness to Non Combatants:
Allah says: “As for such of the unbelievers who do not fight against you on
account of your faith, and neither drive you forth from your homelands, Allah
does not forbid you to show them kindness and to behave toward them with full
equity.”(Qur’an; 60:8).
Suicide is not permissible in Islam
: Allah says: “.. do not cast yourselves into destruction by your own
hands…” (Al-Baqarah,2:195); Allah says: “..do not kill yourselves by
adopting unlawful means….”(An-Nisa,4:29 ).Narrated
Thabit bin Ad Dahhak: The Prophet said; “whoever commits suicide with
something, will be punished with the same thing in the (Hell) fire”.(Sahih Al
Bukhari Hadith Numbr:8.126). Narrated Jabir ibn Samurah: (The dead body) of a
person who had killed himself with a broad-headed arrow was brought before the
Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him), but he did not offer prayers for
him.(Sahih Muslim Hadith. Number.486).
Killing by burning not allowed: Narrated
Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said: It is none but Allah Who punishes with fire,
so, if you find them (enemies), kill them (in combat).(Sahih Al Bukhari,
Hadith, Number.4.259). Narrated Ikrima : Ali burnt some people and this news
reached Ibn Abbas, who said, “Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them,
as the Prophet said, ‘Don’t punish (anybody) with Allah’s Punishment.’...(Sahih
Al Bukhari, Hadith, Number.4.260).
Safety of mosques, worshippers and places
of worship of God: Killing
of Muslims or other worshipper is prohibited: “Hence, who could be more wicked
than those who bar the mention of God's name from [any of] His houses of
worship and strive for their ruin, [although] they have no right to enter them
save in fear [of God]? For them, in this world, there is ignominy in store; and
for them, in the life to come, awesome suffering.”(Qur’an;2:114). “Had
not Allah repelled some people by the might of others, the monasteries,
churches, synagogues, and mosques in which Allah's praise is daily celebrated,
would have been utterly demolished.”(Qur’an;22:40 )
Mutilation of the dead bodies
is prohibited: Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) prohibited to
mutilate the dead bodies. (Sahih Muslim Hadith.804).
Prohibitions-of killing religious
people, women, children, aged, sick people, animals and cutting trees in
military expeditions: Islam forbade killing of innocents. Narrated
Abdullah: During some of the ghazawat of the Prophet a woman was found
killed. Allah’s Apostle disapproved and forbade the killing of women and
children. (Sahih Al Bukhari, Hadith, Number.4.257,258). Abu Bakr advised Yazid,
the commander of Muslim Military Expeditions to Sham (Syria ): “You
will find a people who claim to have totally given themselves to Allah. Leave
them to what they claim to have given themselves. You will find a people who
have shaved the middle of their heads, strike what they have shaved with the
sword. “I advise you ten things: Do not kill women or children or an aged,
infirm person. Do not cut down fruit-bearing trees. Do not destroy an inhabited
place. Do not slaughter sheep or camels except for food. Do not burn bees and
do not scatter them. Do not steal from the booty, and do not be cowardly.” (Al
Muwata Hadith, Number;21.10).
Freedom of faith-no compulsion: The freedom of choice of faith was not enjoyed by the people as it is in present era of freedom and liberty. The rulers did not allow their people to accept any different faith, so they had to be subdued to provide freedom of choice of faith to the people. Qur’an forbids forced conversions: “There shall be no coercion in matters of faith. Distinct has now become the right way from the (way of) error: hence, he who rejects the powers of evil and believes in God has indeed taken hold of support most unfailing, which shall never give way: for God is all-hearing, all-knowing.”(Qur’an;2:256). “An so (O Prophet) exhort them, thy task is only to exhort: Thou canst not compel them to (believe). As for those who turn their backs and disbelieve, Allah will punish them with the mighty punishment.”(Qur’an;88:21-24); “.. You (O Muhammad) are not there to compel them to believe. So admonish with this Qur'an every such person who fears My warning.”(Qur’an;45;50); “to you be your religion (Din), and to me mine.”(Qur’an;109:6). Notwithstanding that no human being can ever attain to faith otherwise than by God’s leave, and (that) it is He who lays the loathsome evil (of disbelief) upon those who will not use their reason? (Qur’an;10:100). Those who used their intellect understood the true faith and freely accepted Islam, while others continued to follow their faith and lived peacefully under the Muslim rule.
