Explaining the MISGUIDANCE of those who have been misled in the issue of the components of Eeman and Kufr Based upon Dar’ al-Fitna ‘an Ahlus-Sunnah by Shaikh Bakr ibn Abdullah Abu Zaid (rahimahullah) There have been two misguided approaches in understanding what comprises Eeman (faith), or the lack of it. These approaches form the basis of the two deviant trends; the Khawaarij and the Murji’ah. a) Extremism and exaggeration concerning the texts of warning (i.e., verses that dictate the punishments of sins); which is the attitude of the Khawaarij who misunderstand Eeman (faith) to be just one entity such that, if a part of it is gone, then everything is - 29 -
gone. Consequently, in their understanding, “Whosoever commits a Major sin has committed Kufr (and is an outright Kafir and out of the pale of Islam).” From the evil consequences of the attitude of the Khawaarij is that it lightens the extremely serious issue of Takfeer (declaring someone to be a disbeliever), and thus, paves the way for splitting the Ummah and violating the sanctities that are established as a result of the bond of faith. b) Deficient understanding of the texts of warnings, as is the way of the Murji’ah who also misunderstood Eeman to be one constant entity that does not improve or surpass. Therefore (according to the Murji’ah) the believers are all the same - no one surpasses another in his Eeman. Murji’ah incorrectly understand Eeman to be, “Mere Tasdeeq (acknowledgment) by the heart, which according to them includes both; the actions of the heart and actions of the limbs,” and (consequently,) according to the Murji’ah, if some part of Eeman is established, the whole of it is established. Their way results in restricting Kufr to just two types; Kufr of Juhud (rejection) and Takdheeb (denial) (which means that disbelief will not occur as a result of the actions of the limbs, which is a false belief)... Based upon their understanding, there is no Takfeer even for the Kuffar, because inwardly they do not deny the Prophethood of Allah’s Messenger , while they outwardly show rejection. Allah says to His Messenger , “it is not you that they deny, but it is the verses (the Qur’aan) of Allah that the Dhalimoon (polytheist and wrongdoers) deny.” [Soorah al-An'am (6): 33] - 30 -
