ALLAH’S WARNING REGARDING SOME PEOPLE CLAIMING TO BE MUSLIMS

TASAWWUR ISLAM


TASAWWUR ISLAM

ATTITUDE OF THE ‘MUNAFIQUN’


““Now there is a kind of man whose views on the life of this Now there is a kind of man whose views on the life of this

world may please thee greatly, and [the more so as] he cites world may please thee greatly, and [the more so as] he cites

Allah as witness to what is in his heart and is, moreover, Allah as witness to what is in his heart and is, moreover,

exceedingly skilful in argument.” exceedingly skilful in argument.”

((Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 204Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 204))

TASAWWUR ISLAM



““But whenever he prevails, he goes about the earth spreading But whenever he prevails, he goes about the earth spreading

corruption and destroying [man's] tilth and progeny: and God corruption and destroying [man's] tilth and progeny: and God

does not love corruption.” does not love corruption.”


TASAWWUR ISLAM



REFLECTION:Today, leaders are chosen by people based on their ability to impress and

dazzle others with their speeches.

Even those with better character, outstanding moral qualities, proven

ability to serve, etc. may simply be ‘passed-over’ by such people who can

mesmerised others. They may even claim to religiosity and piety;

exceedingly skilful in imitating the learned with information they may

read in books and internet; and with their social skills they often

manoeuvre and position themselves amongst religious groups seeking to

gain ‘credentials’ through such associations.

TASAWWUR ISLAM



REFLECTION:It is frightening that Islamic values and principle in ascertaining the

rightful leadership of the Muslims have been replaced with the secular

culture of “corporate governance”, where economic consideration and

pragmatism is unashamedly embraced over ethical-religious

consideration.

“TAQWA” or any references towards adhering to Islamic principles are

regarded as orthodox, antiquated and irrelevant to their “progressive”,

“open-minded”, “liberal” and “moderate” religiosity (as though coining a

new type of ‘Islam’, whatever that means!).

TASAWWUR ISLAM



“And whenever he is told, "Be conscious of Allah (TAQWA)," his

false pride drives him into sin: wherefore hell will be his allotted

portion-and how vile a resting-place! ”

(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 206)

TASAWWUR ISLAM



““Hast thou not observed those who assert that they believe in Hast thou not observed those who assert that they believe in

that which hath been sent down unto thee and that which hath that which hath been sent down unto thee and that which hath

been sent down before thee desiring to go to been sent down before thee desiring to go to TAGHUT TAGHUT (the devil) (the devil)

for judgement, whereas they have been commanded to for judgement, whereas they have been commanded to

disbelieve in him; and disbelieve in him; and SatanSatan desires to lead them far astray.” desires to lead them far astray.”

((Qur’an: Nisa’: 4: 60Qur’an: Nisa’: 4: 60))

TASAWWUR ISLAM



REFLECTION:From being a Muslim, actually one has to strive towards being true believer

– Mu’-meen. Without which, hypocrisy (NIFAQ) may afflict such Muslim -

especially when they lack sincerity towards Allah and the Prophet s.a.a.w.

Such people would inwardly rejects Islam and its teachings, preferring other

“-isms”, ways or rules, even when these are contrary to the Islamic

principles. Their ignorance of Islam would be obvious yet, they may styled

themselves as being well-read, intellectual and ‘knowledgeable ’ on the

subject of Islam.

TASAWWUR ISLAM



““When it is said to them: "Come to what Allah hath revealed and When it is said to them: "Come to what Allah hath revealed and

to the Messenger": thou sees the to the Messenger": thou sees the HypocritesHypocrites ( (MunafiqunMunafiqun) , avert ) , avert

their faces from thee in disgust.”their faces from thee in disgust.”

((Qur’an: Nisa’: 4: 61Qur’an: Nisa’: 4: 61))

TASAWWUR ISLAM



TASAWWUR ISLAM



““Of the people there are some who say: "We believe in Allah and

the Last Day" but they do not (really) believe. Fain would they

deceive Allah and those who believe, but they only deceive

themselves, and realize (it) not! In their hearts is a disease; and

Allah has increased their disease and grievous is the penalty they

(incur), because they are false (to themselves).””

((Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 8-10Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 8-10))

TASAWWUR ISLAM



““When it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth", they When it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth", they

say: "Why, we only want to make peace!" say: "Why, we only want to make peace!"


TASAWWUR ISLAM



““When it is said to them: "Believe as the others believe" they say: When it is said to them: "Believe as the others believe" they say:

"Shall we believe as the fools believe?" Nay, of a surety they are "Shall we believe as the fools believe?" Nay, of a surety they are

the fools, but they do not know.“ the fools, but they do not know.“


TASAWWUR ISLAM



“When they meet those who believe, they say: "We believe" but when

they are alone with their evil ones (SHAYAATIN – their leaders) they

say: "We are really with you, we (were) only jesting.“


TASAWWUR ISLAM



REFLECTION:These Muslims, referred to as hypocrites, would outwardly insist their

loyalty and affiliation is with the Muslims, yet they are merely mocking

Islam.

They may have a hidden agenda for this, because their true loyalty is in fact

with their ‘leaders’ whom Allah describes as their ‘Satans’ (SHAYAATIN).

TASAWWUR ISLAM



““Allah will throw back their mockery on them and give them rope Allah will throw back their mockery on them and give them rope

in their trespasses (in their trespasses (TUGHYANTUGHYAN) ; so they will wander like blind ones ) ; so they will wander like blind ones

(to and fro)”(to and fro)”


TASAWWUR ISLAM



““These are they who have bartered guidance for error: but their These are they who have bartered guidance for error: but their

traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction.” traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction.”


TASAWWUR ISLAM



REFLECTION:Although it may seem that they are successful in their scheme, having their

ways infiltrating into the Muslim community and institutions, this is only

because Allah has gave them temporary leeway, to test all of us mankind.

Yet, the reality is that they (MUNAFIQUN) have no true direction in life,

they are astray, groping like the blind.

TASAWWUR ISLAM



“Of those who reject faith the patrons are the TAGHUT – (Evil Ones):

from light they will lead them forth into the depths of darkness. They

will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein (for ever).”



TASAWWUR ISLAM


REFLECTION:Allah tells us that these hypocrites (MUNAFIQUN) and the Unbelievers

(KAFIRUN) are in fact being led by TAGHUT, who is their WALIY (patron,

protector, friend, helper, etc.).

When judged in the light of Islam, their life is moving along a slippery

downward path into further unbelief.

One of the most glaring sign of the MUNAFIQUN is their ‘intimate’ alliance,

and almost sycophantic dependence upon the help and patronage of those

whom Allah had warned us to be vigilant against.

TASAWWUR ISLAM


TASAWWUR ISLAM


““O you who believe! O you who believe! Take not Take not for friends and protectors for friends and protectors those those

who take your religion for a mockery or sportwho take your religion for a mockery or sport,― whether among ,― whether among

those who received the Scripture before you, or among those those who received the Scripture before you, or among those

have Faith (indeed).” have Faith (indeed).”

((Qur’an: Ma-idah: 5: 57Qur’an: Ma-idah: 5: 57))

TASAWWUR ISLAM


TASAWWUR ISLAM


“Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with you unless

you follow their form of religion.

Say: "The Guidance of Allah that is the (only) Guidance." Were you

to follow their desires, after the knowledge which has reached you,

then would you find neither protector nor Helper against Allah.”
