scholars. Those who will make one attain to happiness are notthe inheritors of Sayyid Qutb, but they are the Ahl as-Sunnascholars, who are Rasûlullah’s (’alaihi ’s-salâm) inheritors:Sayyid Qutb’s followers say that he was a Shâfi’î. However,being in one of the four madhhabs requires belonging to the Ahlas-Sunna first. If a person dissents from the Ahl as-Sunna anddislikes Sunnîs, his claim to be in one of the four madhhabs isan attempt to deceive Muslims.A Muslim who glances through Sayyid Qutb’s tafsîr bookenjoys reading the explanations of âyats, and his soul becomesexhilarated, for these explanations were taken from the Ahl as-Sunna scholars’ tafsîr books. On the other hand, readingSayyid Qutb’s heretical writings, and their translations, whichare incompatible with Islam’s main sources, annoys a Muslimand blackens his heart. Sayyid Qutb’s stunning mediocrity isperceived at once. It is seen that he attempts to explain îmânand islam with philosophical thoughts. It is for this reason thatthose reasonable Muslims who have read the Ahl as-Sunnascholars’ books, which enliven the souls, and who can realizethe greatness of these exalted scholars, read those real booksof tafsîr today also and they not only reject Sayyid Qutb’sbooks, but also try to protect the youngsters from reading them.Though he interspersed his heretical ideas throughout histafsîr book, Fî dilâl al-Qur’ân, it is deemed, in order to satisfythe readers, useful to be informative with a few of them briefly:1) When beginning to interpret the sûrat al-Baqara, he says,“Each sûra has a peculiar musical effect and harmony.” Ourmaster Rasûlullah (’alaihi ’s-salâm) said, “Ghinâ (music)increases hypocrisy in the heart.” Does the Qur’ân ever havesuch an effect? It clears away the darkness caused by music. Itilluminates the heart and the soul. It is written in thecommentary of al-Birghiwî’s Wasiyyat-nâma, “You should notlisten to the things that are read melodiously. The men of tarîqaof our time are very ignorant and obstinate. They recite poemsmelodiously. They equate the sensual emotions stirred bymusic with the flavour inherent in the acts of worship. Suchheretics who ignore the Book and madhhabs are the pioneersof the Dajjâl’s soldiers. I advise the Believers not to believethem, otherwise you will go out of the religion! Do not deviatefrom the way of Sunna, Ahl as-Sunna! Do not listen to thosewho read the Qur’ân al-kerîm, call the adhân and say the dhikr- 240 -
