Brother and sister Muslim, you must be aware that there are matters which nullify your Islam. We will mention here the ten most common violations. Please be mindful of them.
The First
Associating partners with Allah (shirk). Allah, the Most High, says, "Truly, if anyone associates partners with Allah. Allah will forbid him the garden and his abode will be the Fire; the wrongdoers will have no helpers."
Calling upon the dead. asking their help, or offering them gifts or sacrifices are all forms of shirk.
The Second
Setting up intermediaries between oneself and Allah, making supplication to them, asking their intercession with Allah, and placing one's trust in them is unbelief (kufr).
The Third
Anyone who does not consider polytheists (mushrikeen) to be unbelievers, or who has doubts concerning their unbelief, or considers their way to be correct, is himself an unbeliever (kafir).
The Fourth
Anyone who believes any guidance other than the Prophet's guidance to be more perfect, or a decision other than the Prophet's decision to be better, Is an unbeliever. This applies to those who prefer the rule of Evil (Taghout) to the Prophet's rule. Some examples of this are:
- To believe that systems and laws made by human beings are better than the Shari'ah of Islam; for example,
that the Islamic system is not suitable for the twentieth century.
that lslam is the cause of the backwardness of Muslims.
Or that Islam is a relationship between Allah and the Muslim. It should not interfere in other aspects of life.
- To say that enforcing the punishments prescribed by Allah, such as cutting off the hand of a thief or stoning an adulterer, is not suitable in this day and age.
- To believe that it is permissible to give a rule from that which Allah did not reveal in lslamic transactions or matters of law, punishments or other affairs. Although one may not believe such rulings to be superior to the Shari'ah he in effect affirms such a stand by declaring a thing which Allah has totally prohibited, such as adultery, drinking alcohol or usury, to be permissible. According to the consensus of Muslims, one who declares such things to be permissible is an unbeliever (kafir).
The Fifth
Anyone who hates any part of what the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings of Allah be on him) has declared to be lawful has nullified his lslam, even though he may act in accordance with it. Allah the Most High, says: "Because they disliked what Allah has revealed. their deeds are brought to nothing."
The Sixth
Anyone who ridicules any aspect of the religion of the Messenger of Allah (peace be on him), or any of its rewards or punishments, becomes an unbeliever. Allah.
the Most High, says: "Say: Do you ridicule Allah, His revelations and His Messenger? Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after your (profession of) faith
The Seventh
The practice of magic included in this is causing a rift between a husband and wife by turning his love for her into hatred, or tempting a person to do things he dislikes by using black arts. One who engages in such a thing or is pleased with it is outside the pale of Islam. Allah the Most High, says, "The two (angels, Harut and Marut) did not teach anyone (magic) without warning them, 'Indeed. we are a trial; then do not disbelieve."'
The Eighth
Supporting and aiding polytheists against the Muslims. Allah the Most High, says: "The one frorn among you who supports them belongs to them. Truly. Allah does not guide the people who do wrong."
The Ninth
Anyone who believes that some people are permitted to deviate from the Shari'ah of Muhammad (peace be on him) is an unbeliever by the word of Allah, the Most High: "if anyone seeks a religion other than al-Islam it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will by among the losers.
The Tenth
To turn completely away from the religion of Allah, neither learning its precepts nor acting upon it. Allah the Most High, says: "Who does greater wrong than the one who is reminded of the revelations of his Lord and turns away from them. Truly, We shall recompense the guilty," and He also says: "But those who disbelieve turn away from that about which they are warned."
It makes no difference whether such violations are committed as a joke, in seriousness or out of fear, except when they are done under compulsion.
We seek refuge in Allah from such deeds as entail His wrath and severe punishment.
