Issued by:
Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hadees Hind On the occasion of National Symposium on:
Global
Terrorism, Self-Declared Caliphate of Daish and Islam’s
Message
of Peace”
on Sunday, 15 February,
2015 at AhleHadees Complex, D-254, Abul Fazl Enclave, Jamia Nagar, New Delhi-25.
Question: What’s the
opinion of the Ulama and Muftis on the following:
1. Despite the fact that Islam is a religion
of peace and harmony
and there is no provision of any kind of violence, extremism
and terrorism, the continuing events and activities of terrorism in different countries, including India,
are being linked to Islam and Muslims.
However, Islam and its representatives, the elder Islamic
scholars, have declared the terrorism
is haraam (prohibited), and about ten
years ago Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hadees Hind had issued
an anti-terrorism fatwa, signed by about three dozen ulema on March, 18, 2006. Afterwards, some more organizations too released
fatwa upon it, after getting
guidance from it. Despite all
this, such allegations are made against Muslims.
Therefore, the question is
whether reply to terrorism can be given by terrorism itself
as a reaction as some people
commit it through
self-suicide attacks? What’s the directive in Shariah?
2. Today the DAISH and others like it, the so-called
organizations, claiming to establish the Islamic caliphate, which
have created a reign of terror in
different countries, raised weapons against the government and people,
attacking upon the innocent men, women and children, and as a result of which
the peace and harmony of the country and its people have been badly affected. Thousands of people have lost
their lives in these attacks so far. Properties have been damaged and fear and terror pose a threat to the people’s life and property, families, and associates. Then is it correct
as per Shariah for DAISH and others of its ilk in the name of
the so- called caliphate to try to take into
own hands the peace and law and order, to explode bombs on the main streets and other places, to destroy the public and private
properties and military installations, to hijack the
planes, to kill tourists, media-persons and foreign employees, to make the nurses
hostages or kill them, to attack upon non- abiding hijabwomen, educational
institutions, offices of the
newspapers and news channels and
embassies, to provoke the people
against the government and disturb the peace and harmony of the country?
Please reply
to these important and sensitive issues in the light of the Holy Quran and Sunnah. We would feel obliged in the name of Allah and the people.

REPLY: By TopAhle Hadees Muftis and Ulema
Islam,
granted by the creator of the entire universe, is, undoubtedly, a religion
of peace and harmony.And, it is a blessing
for the whole world.
There is no provision of any kind of terrorism under Islam. The religion, based
upon the modest and balanced thinking, has always paid attention
to the humankind’s greatness and played a commendable role in establishing peace
and harmony. The religion based upon the great
principle of inflicting no harm to anybody has always
discouraged the elements causing chaos
and disquiet in the society.Allah T’ala is unbound
mercy-giver and
its last Prophet
Mohammed, (peace be upon him,) was sent as a mercy for the whole world. His teachings are
free of terrorism and full of mercy. Islam
calls for moderate and balanced
thinking, mutual brotherhood, human bond and rights of
neighbours and human beings,
irrespective of any
school of thought and community and emphasizes upon rights to the servants of Allah
along with rights
to Allah. Atrocities and
excesses as well as killing and destruction are the greatest
atrocity and sin. Allah T’ala says:
“He, who kills any innocent person,
is killer of the entire
humanity and he, who saves anybody, is like a person who saves the entire
humanity.” (Al Quran
Surah Al Maida: 32)
Islam teaches
that at the time of even war the
children, women and old and the worshippers,
priests, confined in their places of
worships should not be killed. Even gardens should not be
cut, neither agricultural farms burnt, nor animals killed. Our beloved Prophet, peace be upon him, once said:
a noble lady went into the hell because a cat she had tied hungry and thirsty, had died. And, a sinful person
who had made available water taking out from a well to a thirsty
dog, entered into the heaven.
“There is no provision under
the Islamic system of justice that revenge of the fault of a person is taken
from the other person.” (Al Quran Surah Al Inam: 164)
“It is the responsibility of the government and Muslims
to provide security
and protection to the non-Muslims residing under the Islamic government. Those killing them can’t go to the
heaven.” (Hadees
Sahih Bukhari)
Similarly, even disbelievers living in the situation out of war can also be not inflicted harm. Imam Ibn Qadama says: “There is no difference of opinion among the scholars of Islam that killing
of an innocent
person is haraam
(Not allowed)
Imam Ibn Timiyya and Imam Nawvi say: “Kufr (Disbelief) and Shirk (Polytheism) are the
greatest sins and afterwards, comes the killing of the innocent “.
Hafiz Ibn Hajar says:
“When the uncalled for killing of animals is not allowed, how can the killing
of innocent persons be allowed.” (Fatahul
Bari)
Hazrat Abdullah
Bin Umar (Be Allah pleases with him) says: “The sheer of killing
wherefrom coming
out is not possible, is, unquestioningly,
blood-letting.”
Therefore, certain organizations’ effort to take the law and order of the country into own hands, to bombard and explode at the main streets and other places, to destroy government and individual as well as military weapons, to hijack planes, to make foreign
employees and nurses
hostage, to attack upon the women not wearing
hijab and offices
of the newspapers and news channels
and embassies, to provoke the people
against the government and strive to disturb
peace and harmony, is not allowed by Shariah.
There are conditions and regulations to order
for good work and refute those refusing in Shariah and everybody is not bound to interpret
it and Shariah has fixed limitations like all the affairs, not sticking to those mischief
and riots occur and
blood-letting and disquiet
are created.
Unfortunately, some such organizations have come into being in modern period, which taking
the name of Islam, are becoming problem
for the Muslims of the world. Presently, organizations like Daish are tarnishing the image of Islam and Muslims
and inflicting harm to them.
Their moves don’t conform to the teachings of Islam in any way. What acts they are committing, are completely prohibited by Islam, and is a terrorism,
and their self-declared claim
to caliphate and Islamic State is false and quite
contrary to the concept of Islamic Caliphate. There is found in it neither
conditions, nor demands for establishing
the caliphate. Therefore, Holy Place Makkah’s Grand Mufti and Saudi Supreme
Ulema Council chiefAllama
Abdul Aziz Ben Abdullah says that Daish and organizations like it don’t represent Islam.
Sheikh Abdul Mohsen Ben Hammad Al Ibaad, Sheikh Mohammed Al
Munjad and other authentic Ulema have
in clear terms
said that these people
are out of the pale of Islam. In the past also they have defamed Islam by their thoughts and deeds and what they are terming Jihad, is a fitna (a wrong act)
and terrorism. Because Jihad has
got some principles and conditions which they neither follow, nor are
authorized. So, Islamic caliphate has got some
principles and conditions without sticking to those nobody can become a caliph
and nobody is
authorized to use the prestigious title of Ameerul Momeneen for such atrocious
and cruel person.
What acts
DAISH and
likewise organizations are committing, hearing its news and seeing its photographs entire
humanity gets scared
and shouts at. The violence, atrocity, excess, killing
and hanging and beheading, destruction, eliminating the peace-loving citizens of the country after
kidnapping them, are such acts which can’t be justified with the animals, what
to
talk of the humans and which are being committed wearing the dress of caliphate in the name of Islam seems to be the result
of the anti-
Islam forces and a deep conspiracy
of the killers
of the humanity.
It
is a matter of concern that some simple persons justify it as a reaction
to the atrocities
and excesses upon Muslims
and others which is,
no doubt, lack of knowledge
and understanding. In Islam to take revenge
of one’s sin by killing
and damaging other innocent persons, is not allowed which is obvious by the above
mentioned verses of the Holy Quran, Prophet’s sayings and quotations of divine personalities.
In
addition to it, we have got the exemplary
practice of Hazrat Khubaib Ben Adi that when
a woman was scared seeing
the razor in their
hands in the prison and felt threatened whether
neck of my child is not cut with this razor. Hazrat
Khubaib felt the restlessness of the woman and
said to end her terror
that we Muslims don’t kill
the innocent children and handed over the child
to the mother. However, preparations to hang him and make his children orphans
and wife widow
from their family members had already
been made.
DAISH is such an organization which has come into existence to
weaken the Islamic forces, spread confusion and chaos in the lines
of the Muslims, tarnish the image of Islam in the eyes of
the world and distract the world from the
human-loving divine ideology. This is surely a threat to human world and leads to the decline
of the Muslim Ummah.
Therefore, such organizations are terrorists and condemnable and to support and cooperate them is not allowed
by Shariah. It is the religious
and moral duty of the conscious persons of the Muslim Ummah that they should inform the
world of its threats and strive to prevent the
Muslim youth, if any, from supporting DAISH and those of its ilk, in any form.
