Sect/Firqa free Islam?
﷽
It was narrated from ‘Awf bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said:“The Jews split into seventy-one sects, one of which will be in Paradise and seventy in Hell. The Christians split into seventy-two sects, seventy-one of which will be in Hell and one in Paradise. I swear by the One Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, my nation will split into seventy-three sects, one of which will be in Paradise and seventy-two in Hell.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, who are they?” He said: “The main body.” (الْجَمَاعَةُ)In Jami Tirmidhi 2641 (Graded Hasan by Albani) the wording are "What I am upon and my Companions" ( مَا أَنَا عَلَيْهِ وَأَصْحَابِ)
The Prophet S.A.W clearly said the main body. Secondly, some people use this hadith as a reference to justify that Prophet said that there will be sects, so it is okay to make sects and identify oneself as one🤦♂️. Prophet S.A.W warned his Umah that there will be sects beware of it, refrain from been a part of it. He didn't say to make or divide yourself into sects. Now for example Prophet S.A.W said that
"...women who would be dressed but appear to be naked..." Muslim 5582/2218
and based on this a woman starts wearing such clothes that Prophet prophesized it, so I will wear such clothes. He warned in both the cases.
There are those who say all are on the straight path even though there teachings are 180 degree opposite. For example, one says one should recite Ameen loudly other says that whoever do this fire coals should be put in his mouth, one says one should do Rafa Yadain other says to break the shoulder of whoever do Rafa Yadain. How are all on straight path? 🤷♂️
Jabir bin 'Abdullah said that:We were with the Prophet (ﷺ), and he drew a line (in the sand), then he drew two lines to its right and two to its left. Then he put his hand on the middle line and said : 'This is the path of Allah. Then he recited the Verse: And verily, this (i.e. Allah's Commandments) is My straight path, so follow it and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you from His path..." (Ibn Majah 11 Sahih by Albaani)
وَأَنَّ هَٰذَا صِرَاطِي مُسْتَقِيمًا فَاتَّبِعُوهُ ۖ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَن سَبِيلِهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ وَصَّاكُم بِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ ﴿١٥٣﴾نیز اس کی ہدایت یہ ہے کہ یہی میرا سیدھا راستہ ہے لہٰذا تم اسی پر چلو اور دوسرے راستوں پر نہ چلو کہ وہ اس کے راستے سے ہٹا کر تمہیں پراگندہ کر دیں گے یہ ہے وہ ہدایت جو تمہارے رب نے تمہیں کی ہے، شاید کہ تم کج روی سے بچو“And that, ‘This is My Straight Path, so follow it; and do not follow other ways for they will sever you from His way; this is commanded to you, so that you may attain piety.’” (Surah Anam 153)
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُوا دِينَهُمْ وَكَانُوا شِيَعًا لَّسْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ ۚ إِنَّمَا أَمْرُهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ جن لوگوں نے اپنے دین کو ٹکڑے ٹکڑے کر دیا اور گروہ گروہ بن گئے یقیناً ان سے تمہارا کچھ واسطہ نہیں، ان کا معاملہ تو اللہ کے سپرد ہے، وہی ان کو بتائے گا کہ انہوں نے کیا کچھ کیا ہےYou (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) have no concern with those who divided their religion and became several groups; their case is only with Allah – He will then inform them of what they used to do. (Surah Anam 159)
..مِّلَّةَ أَبِيكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ۚ هُوَ سَمَّاكُمُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِن قَبْلُ وَفِي هَٰذَا.....قائم ہو جاؤ اپنے باپ ابراہیمؑ کی ملت پر اللہ نے پہلے بھی تمہارا نام "مسلم" رکھا تھا اور اِس (قرآن) میں بھی.......the religion of your father Ibrahim; Allah has named you Muslims – in the previous Books and in this Qur’an... (Surah Hajj 78)
Muslim, one should be proud to call himself a simple Muslim, no need to add any flavors. Now why do majority ulama don't teach this? that's because they are a representative of their sects. They got degrees from the madrasas of their sect, which is not recognized by any other sect and in those madrasas, they are not taught Quran or Hadith, they are taught on how to defend their own sect. If they preach that everyone is Muslim and any Muslim can pray behind any Imam then their empire which is built on the charity taken from people would fall, the lavish lifestyles which they are enjoying would all crumble. If they declare everyone as Muslims and everyone who have said Sahada will go to Jannah, then people will start giving charity to madrasas and masjid of other sects as well. Their empire is built on this one slogan that we are that sect which will go to Jannah and others will go to Jahanum. Each and every sect has the same thought.
Muslims in majority are on trial period beliefs, by trail period I mean the ones taught to them by their forefathers upon birth. After a certain age that free trial expires but they are not aware of it and they don't renew it by reading Quran and Hadith themselves. If a person is born in Deobandi, ahlul hadith, brailvi, shia, sunni family, he stays that and never rechecks or reevaluate his belief according to Quran o Hadith. Guess what, if you were born a Qadyani would you remain Qadyani or would you have tried to learn the truth?
Now one may say that what should we do then. First keep this thing clear in your mind that the standard in Deen is Quran and Sahih ul isnaad Hadith. Anyone claiming that this act will take you to Jannah or this act will give you 1000 of rewards etc ask him where is this written, don't fall for ' a pious saint said this' no matter how pious he was, he was not a Prophet. Reevaluate your aamaal, check whether what I am doing is according to Quran or Hadith? If not leave it, no matter who told you to do it, even if your parents told you to do it, leave it because it is not prescribed in Quran and Sunnah. Don't be over smart, when you do an amal thinking it is a good deed and it's not prescribed by the Prophet you are being over smart, implying that I know better Naozobillah.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ﴿١﴾
اے ایمان والو اللہ اور اس کے رسول سے آگے نہ بڑھو اور اللہ سے ڈرو بیشک اللہ سنتا جانتا ہے
O People who Believe! Do not advance ahead of Allah and His Noble Messenger, and fear Allah; indeed Allah is All Hearing, All Knowing. (Surah Hujrat 1)
Any Amal that you are doing you should know the reference of it in Quran and Hadith.
وَلَا تَقْفُ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ ۚ إِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُولَٰئِكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْئُولًا ﴿٣٦﴾
کسی ایسی چیز کے پیچھے نہ لگو جس کا تمہیں علم نہ ہو یقیناً آنکھ، کان اور دل سب ہی کی باز پرس ہونی ہے
Do not follow that of which you have no knowledge. Surely the hearing, the sight, the heart - each of these shall be called to account. (Surah Isra 36)
Those who say that our forefathers used to do this, how can they be wrong.
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ اتَّبِعُوا مَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ قَالُوا بَلْ نَتَّبِعُ مَا أَلْفَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ آبَاءَنَا ۗ أَوَلَوْ كَانَ آبَاؤُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ ﴿١٧٠﴾
ان سے جب کہا جاتا ہے کہ اللہ نے جو احکام نازل کیے ہیں اُن کی پیروی کرو تو جواب دیتے ہیں کہ ہم تو اسی طریقے کی پیروی کریں گے جس پر ہم نے اپنے باپ دادا کو پایا ہے اچھا اگر ان کے باپ دادا نے عقل سے کچھ بھی کام نہ لیا ہو اور راہ راست نہ پائی ہو تو کیا پھر بھی یہ انہیں کی پیروی کیے چلے جائیں گے؟
And when it is said to them, “Follow what Allah has sent down”, they say, “On the contrary, we shall follow what we found our forefathers upon”; What! Even if their forefathers had no intelligence, or guidance?! (Surah Baqara 170)
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا إِلَىٰ مَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ وَإِلَى الرَّسُولِ قَالُوا حَسْبُنَا مَا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ آبَاءَنَا ۚ أَوَلَوْ كَانَ آبَاؤُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ ﴿١٠٤﴾
اور جب ان سے کہا جاتا ہے کہ آؤ اُس قانون کی طرف جو اللہ نے نازل کیا ہے اور آؤ پیغمبرؐ کی طرف تو وہ جواب دیتے ہیں کہ ہمارے لیے تو بس وہی طریقہ کافی ہے جس پر ہم نے اپنے باپ دادا کو پایا ہے کیا یہ باپ دادا ہی کی تقلید کیے چلے جائیں گے خواہ وہ کچھ نہ جانتے ہوں اور صحیح راستہ کی انہیں خبر ہی نہ ہو؟
And when it is said to them, “Come towards what Allah has sent down and towards the Noble Messenger”, they say, “Sufficient for us is what we found our forefathers upon”; even if their forefathers did not have knowledge nor had guidance? (Surah Maidah 104)
Respect one another, don't label anyone, who has said Sahada as Kafir. If you see someone doing things differently don't label them, rather ask them where you learned it from.
It is reported on the authority of Ibn 'Umar that the Apostle (may peace and blessings be upon him) observed:
When a man calls his brother an unbeliever, it returns (at least) to one of them. (Muslim 216/60)
It means if he was not a Kafir then it returned upon you and you became it.
Read Quran with translation, don't become dependent upon Molvis and Ulamas on day-to-day matters.
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
ہم نے اِس قرآن کو نصیحت کے لیے آسان ذریعہ بنا دیا ہے، پھر کیا ہے کوئی نصیحت قبول کرنے والا؟
We have made the Qur'an easy to derive lessons from. Is there, then, any who will take heed? (Surah Qamar 22 17 32 40)
Allah is warning us,
أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَن تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَلَا يَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ ﴿١٦﴾
کیا ایمان لانے والوں کے لیے ابھی وہ وقت نہیں آیا کہ اُن کے دل اللہ کے ذکر سے پگھلیں اور اُس کے نازل کردہ حق کے آگے جھکیں اور وہ اُن لوگوں کی طرح نہ ہو جائیں جنہیں پہلے کتاب دی گئی تھی، پھر ایک لمبی مدت اُن پر گزر گئی تو ان کے دل سخت ہو گئے اور آج ان میں سے اکثر فاسق بنے ہوئے ہیں؟
Has not the time come for the believers to surrender their hearts to Allah’s remembrance and to this truth that has come down? And do not be like those who were earlier given the Book(s) and when a long term passed over them, their hearts became hardened; and many of them are sinners. (Surah Hadid 16)
يُنَادُونَهُمْ أَلَمْ نَكُن مَّعَكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ وَلَٰكِنَّكُمْ فَتَنتُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَتَرَبَّصْتُمْ وَارْتَبْتُمْ وَغَرَّتْكُمُ الْأَمَانِيُّ حَتَّىٰ جَاءَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَغَرَّكُم بِاللَّهِ الْغَرُورُ ﴿١٤﴾
وہ مومنوں سے پکار پکار کر کہیں گے کیا ہم تمہارے ساتھ نہ تھے؟ مومن جواب دیں گے ہاں، مگر تم نے اپنے آپ کو خود فتنے میں ڈالا، موقع پرستی کی، شک میں پڑے رہے، اور جھوٹی توقعات تمہیں فریب دیتی رہیں، یہاں تک کہ اللہ کا فیصلہ آ گیا، اور آخر وقت تک وہ بڑا دھوکے باز تمہیں اللہ کے معاملہ میں دھوکا دیتا رہا
They will call to them: "Were we not with you?" They will answer: "Certainly; but then you let yourselves be tempted, and waited in expectation but were suspicious and were deceived by vain desires, till the decree of God came to pass, and the deceiver duped you in respect of God. (Surah Hadid 14)
Become simple Muslims, break yourself free from the chains of sects.
سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ
Glory is to You, O Allah, and praise, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except You, I seek You forgiveness, and I repent to You Tirmidhi 3433
