Islams Reformers

might take a whole life-span to examine the thousands of books of
Islam’s policy of state control. The European orientalists and
Israeli professors study them in Istanbul now in admiration.
In his book Islam and the Problems of Civilization, Sayyid
Qutb wrote that he burned with the fire of Islamic Unity and
Divine Way and quoted the false words of the western
philosophers and the extensive ideas of keen-witted diplomats,
which he had heard as a student, and thus he pretended to be a
savior and a fighter for Islam. As he cleverly strived to imbue the
youth with his heretical ideas, he wrote:
“In constructing Islamic society, the thing which we are bound
to is not Islamic fiqh. Though we are not unfamiliar with this fiqh,
the thing we are bound to is the way of Islam, Islamic principles
and Islamic understanding.”
According to him, books of fiqh and books on the policy of
state control, which had been written thorughout centuries, were
not illustrative of the Islamic way, and he was making Islamic
principles with his own point of view and understanding. The
books of Islamic scholars, the leaders of madhhabs, which had
been based on the Qur’ân and the Hadîth, were to be abandoned
and the philosopher Qutb’s ideas were to be put in their place!
He wrote again in his book World’s Peace and Islam:
“According to Islam, all human beings are a family bound with
close bonds to one another. It commands a certain justice over all
human beings without discriminating them with regard to race or
religion.”
Rasûlullah (sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam) declared in a hadîth
sherîf quoted by al-Ghazâlî in his book Kimyâ’ as-sa’âda, “The
basis and the most dependable symptom of having îmân is to love
Muslims and to dislike unbelievers.” Allâhu ta’âlâ declared to
Hadrat ’Îsâ (’alaihi ’s-salâm) (Jesus), “If you perform the worship
of all the creatures on the earth and in skies, it will be no use unless
you love those whom I love and be hostile against Mine enemies.”
He declared in the last âyat of the sûrat al-Mujâdala, “Those who
believe in Allâhu ta’âlâ and in the Day of Resurrection hate the
enemies of Allâhu ta’âlâ.” Allâhu ta’âlâ and His Prophet (’alaihi
’s-salâm) commanded us to distinguish Muslims from unbelievers.
To them, only Muslims are brothers, but Sayyid Qutb wrote that
all people were brothers forming a family without the difference of
religion.
