THE KUFR OF CONTAGION

Q. A person takes a Covid test. The test shows positive. Either they are symptomatic or asymptomatic. There are 4 questions that arise:
(A) They, in accordance with government guidelines, isolate for the stated period in the belief of indiscriminate contagion. What is the state of such a person’s Imaan and Nikah?
(B) Some argue, that Islam teaches us to take reasonable precautions and this constitutes a reasonable precaution. This in reality is a disingenuous argument to cover for their belief in contagion contrary to the explicit teaching of Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam. What is the state of such a person’s Imaan and Nikah?
(C) Persons in above 2 categories then tell others that they should test themselves and isolate if need be. In other words they are pushing their ideology on to others. How should a Muslim deal with such requests which are constant?
(D) There are many “Muslims” who hold such beliefs. Does this mean a whole swathe of them exit the fold of Islam?

A. 1) If the isolation is self-imposed, not forced by the zaalim government, and if this person has been informed that disease is not contagious, then his belief based on what the atheists inform him, is kufr. He should renew his Imaan as well as his Nikah.

2) While Islam advises laymen such as us to adopt reasonable, lawful precautions, it NEVER advises adoption of kufr. Kufr is not a precaution. It is satanism. If these protocols of the atheists are valid precautions, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Sahaabah would have adopted same on the command of Allah Ta’ala. However, the Qur’aan and Sunnah emphatically negate these acts of shaitaan being precautions. Please read the numerous articles and booklets we have published on this subject. All are available on our website.
3) Their ideology and advice to others are kufr with the same consequences mentioned in No.1 above.
4) Most certainly it “means that a whole swathe of them exit the fold of Islam.” And, this is not surprising because Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) had predicted this type of kufr which cancels Imaan. Hadhrat Abdullah Bin Amr (Radhiyallahu anhu) narrated the following Hadith:
“An age will dawn when the people will gather in their Musaajid and perform Salaat whilst not a single one will be a Mu’min.”

MACKOOJI’S KUFR ON CONTAGION

DEVIATE MACKOOJI’S KUFR ON CONTAGION – OUTRIGHT REJECTION OF RASULULLAH’S EXPLICIT DECLARATION

“LAA ADWA” – “THERE IS NO CONTAGION IN DISEASE”

(Rasulullah- Sallallahu alayhi wasallam)

Some miscreant, Mackoojee, parading as a ‘mufti’, in a flapdoodle article consisting of some flaccid arguments to bolster his baatil, kufr opinion of ‘validity’ of contagion, blatantly and stupidly misinterpreting Qur’aanic Verses and Ahaadith, says:

“PROOF FROM THE QUR-AAN AND HADITHS OF CONTAGIOUS SICKNESSES”

Pandemic or not, wherever your death has been decreed, you will taste death. The Qur-aan talks of a nation that fled an epidemic and left their native city fearing a plague death.”

Then the moron presents the Qur’aanic Aayat:

“Have you not seen those who left their homes, thousands in number, to escape death? So Allah told them: “Be dead”. Then He raised them alive…. (Baqarah:243)

According to the tafseer on the ayah, Allah Ta’ala sent a very severe punishment to that nation that He killed them all. All died. Then Allah Ta’ala revived them again through their prophet’s dua’s.”

Just what is the deviate trying to prove with this Aayat? The Aayat knocks out the bottom from his kufr contagion view. Allah Ta’ala had slain the entire populace of tens of thousands because they believed in contagion as the Mulhid Iblees Mackooji believes and propagates to promote the wares of Bill Gates, Pharma & Iblees. This miscreant’s brains are convoluted with kufr, hence he stupidly proffers this very Aayat which denounces and proscribes the shirki/kufr idea of contagion.

The thousands believing in contagion had fled from their town/city and went into self-imposed quarantine to, fleeing from Maut which they believed they could thwart by escaping the hallucinated ‘contagion’ of the plague which had ravaged their town. Despite Mackooji conceding that the flight of the populace from the plague was such a sin which justified “a very severe punishment”, the jaahil presents this Qur’aanic Aayat to substantiate the kufr of the atheists and to peddle the wares of Bill Gates, Pharma & Iblees. There is absolutely not the slightest vestige of proof in this Qur’aanic Aayat for the hallucinated validity of contagion.

Excreting another LIE, the Mulhid, Mackooji says:

“According to a tafseer, Samiriyi the person who misled Bani Israeel with the calf statue in the absence of Musa a.s. got the curse of a contagious sickness that he was condemned to stay away from people and continue saying: “No touching please.”

The condition which had settled on Saamiri was a Curse which had a peculiar effect which may not be interpreted as Adwaa (there is contagion) in negation of the explicit ‘Laa adwa’ declaration of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). A command of our Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) on which is based a Shar’i mas’alah may not be abrogated with a peculiar occurrence applicable to a specific person thousands of years prior to the Islam taught by Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). On the contrary, the Qur’aan abrogated even the Taurah, Injeel and all previous Shariats. It is the height of jahaalat and kufr to attempt abrogation of the directives of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) with episodes which had transpired thousands of years ago. The episode of Saamiri mentioned in the Qur’aan Majeed has absolutely no relevance to contagion. Saamiri’s condition was a lifelong punishment imposed on him for his treacherous idol-making. His condition was peculiar and exceptional.

Citing another Hadith, Mackooji translates: “The sickly contagious should not be brought close to the healthy.” Either he is too stupid or he is guilty of chicanery for not translating “Laa adwaa”, mentioned in the very same Hadith. Firstly, there is no mention in the quoted Hadith about “sickly contagious” as the miscreant mentions. While the word ‘sick/sickly’ is mentioned, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) did not say “sickly contagious”. This is a lie and a kufr fabrication attributed by Mackooji to our Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). On the contrary, negating contagion, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) states in the very same Hadith: “Laa adwaa”. After negating contagion, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) mentions the ‘sick’.

Secondly, the ‘sick’ mentioned in this narration cited by the jaahil fake mufti, refers to sick camels, not to human beings. The advice of not bringing the sick camel in touch with healthy camels, was due to the embedded kufr contagion belief which lingered on in the hearts of people since the era of jaahiliyyah, and to this day this kufr idea persists. In fact Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) had said that this idea will continue lingering in the hearts of the people, hence he explicitly and emphatically refuted it by saying: “Laa adwaa’.

It is kufr to present a narration to refute the explicit declaration of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). An interpretation should be found to reconcile the apparent contradiction, or a suitable meaning should be ascribed to it, and in the event of inability to reconcile, it should be set aside. But it may not be presented to set aside, refute and abrogate what Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) had explicitly ordered.

In another flaccid bid to prove existence of contagion, Mackooji presents a Hadith which he translates:

“Reported in Muslim that a leprous man was between the Thaqeef group of people (that came to Madina). So Rasulullah Swalallahhou Alaihi Wasallam sent to inform him that: “We have already taken his oath of allegiance from far and hence he should step back.”

Then, the miscreant jaahil presenting his kufr interpretation of this nafration, says:

“Allegiance is done normally hand with hand. But Rasouloullah (Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam showed us to keep distance from contagious disease.”

This is a blatant lie ascribed to Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) by the jaahil, mulhid, bogus mufti. There is absolutely no reference to “keeping distance” from the sick. Whatever the reason was for instructing the leper to return, it never was maintenance of devil’s distance as these munaafiqeen of our day are observing at the behest of the atheists.

The jaahil fails to understand that the leper was not ordered to separate himself from the delegation in which he was. The other members of the group were not ordered to distance themselves from the leper. The leper was not ordered to go into quarantine, The people of Thaqeef were not ordered to adopt devil’s distance from the leper. The leper was not prevented from the Musjid. The leper was not isolated in any way whatsoever. He was only instructed to return. If the reason was to adopt devil’s distance, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) would have ordered this. He would not have contented himself with only the return of the leper. This leper freely mingled with society. He was not isolated in any way. There is no proof whatsoever in this Hadith for the contagion theory which the mushrikeen and atheists propagate and which the munaafiqeen have lapped up.

Committing more fraud, Mackooji cites the Arabic text of a Hadith, but deceptively and dishonestly translates only a portion which in his necrotized mind he believes supports the contagion theory of the atheists. Thus he says:

“Hazrat Abu Hureirah r.a. said Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam said:

“….run away from a leprous just like you run from a lion.”

Then adding his stupid commentary, he says:

“Normally, it is sunnah to visit a sick and make du’as for him. But here we are prescribed by medical sunnah to stay away from contagious diseases. Hence all healthy precautions prescribed by our health authorities is under this sunnah protocol of protecting oneself from contagious diseases.”

We do not know for how many dollars acquired from the atheist authorities has this miserable jaahil mufti sold his Imaan. He very stupidly and cunningly omits in his translation. This miscreant as well as all other munaafiqeen are misinterpreting Qur’aanic Aayaat and Ahaadith, not for reconciling apparent contradictions as is the practice of the true Ulama. The objective of these mkscreants is to use and misuse the Ahaadith to peddle and promote the kufr theories of the atheists. They have bartered away their Imaan for dollars. They have been appointed as agents of Iblees to promote the covid satanism of Bill Gates, Pharma & Iblees.

The aforementioned Hadith in which the miserable jaahil has committed chicanery begins off with the explicit negation of contagion. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

“Laa adwaa (there is no contagion), no tiyarah, no haammah and no safar.” After making this explicit declaration, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) added the portion of fleeing from the leper. Whatever the reason for fleeing from the leper may be, it was never because of contagion because Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) refuted contagion before making mention of the leper. Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) made it abundantly clear that there is “no contagion”. He preceded the leper portion with negation of contagion thereby clarifying that fleeing from a leper is not on account of contagion. Whatever the reason may be, it is not contagion, hence the negation stated explicitly by Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam).

If the disease was contagious, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) would not have first negated contagion. But, we see that before mentioning about the leper, our Nabi corrected the shirki belief of contagion which was embedded in the minds of the people. The manner of the expression of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) means: Flee from the leper. However, leprosy is not contagious. This is the clear purport of “Laa adwaa” mentioned before proffering the advice of fleeing from a leper, and this portion of the Hadith, that is, “Laa adwaa” has been concealed by the Mackooji chap in a futile attempt to hoodwink ignoramuses.

Tiyara refers to bad omens. Haammah are owls bringing bad luck in terms of the shirki belief of the Mushrikeen. Safar is the belief that misfortune befalls people during the month of Safar. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) refuted all three beliefs of shirk in the same breath, in one statement.

Further negating the contagion rubbish promoted by the Mackooji jaahil, is the fact that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Sahaabah during the plague did not flee from infected persons. On the contrary, they all huddled together in the Musjid. It is indeed an act of egregious perfidy to utilize the Hadith of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) to refute him and to negate the explicit Laa adwaa declaration made by our Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam).

The logical conclusion of negating contagion, that is, interpreting Laa adwaa to mean adwaa, is to also confirm the validity tiyarah, haammah and safar just as the rubbishes confirm validity for contagion despite the express negation stated by Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam).

The rationale underlying the advice to flee from the leper was because of the embedded belief of contagion in the minds of the people, especially the simple village folk and Bedouins. It was a belief so ingrained that it could not be easily eradicated from fickle minds. Precisely for this reason Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

“Four things of Jaahiliyyah will remain in my Ummah. (1) People will not abstain from taunting on the basis of lineage (i.e.racialism). (2) Wailing (on the occasion of someone’s death). (3) Rain is caused by the moon. (4) The belief of contagion.”

Today even these moron molvis, paper muftis, sheikhs and the glut of munaafiqeen believe in the very same shirki concept of contagion which Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) had refuted more than fourteen centuries ago. The atheists have perpetuated this belief of shirk, and at their behest the jaahil mufti is promoting the shirki belief.

Whilst Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) negated contagion, the munaafiqeen extravasate the very opposite by refuting Rasulullah’s explicit negation of contagion. And, this they do to bootlick the atheists for the dollars. Now why did the jaahil Mackooji conceal the ‘Laa adwaa’ statement which preceded the leper issue? His hidden kufr agenda is quite conspicuous.

Furthermore, despite the advice to flee from the leper, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), himself did not flee. On the contrary, he ate with a leper from the same bowl, saying: Have Tawakkul! This was Rasulullah’s practical refutation of the shirki belief of contagion. Both verbally and practically, by word and deed, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) negated contagion.

Regarding the Hadith which prohibits people from going to a region affected by a plague, the jaahil Mackooji flaunting his kufr-coated jahaalat comments:

“The sunnah teach us to visit the sick. But in these contagious cases, we are instructed to take medical precautions of distancing and segregating.”

Only brains necrotized by kufr are capable of venturing such rubbish understanding of the Hadith. While outsiders are prohibited from entering the epidemic zone, the thousands within the plague-afflicted locality are not ordered to adopt the stupid, ludicrous, satanic ‘medical precautions of distancing and segregating’. Those within the precincts of the plague-ravaged area who are the ones most at ‘risk’ of contracting the disease according to the theory of the baboonist atheists who happen to be the handlers of Mackooji and others of his ilk, are not segregated. The Hadith does not prescribe any devil’s distancing or devil’s segregating for them. No protocols have been prescribed for them by Rasulullah (Sallallahu alahyhi wasallam). The only protocols which Muslims, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Sahaabah knew during a plague was to rush to the Musjid and increase Istighfaar and Dua.

If contagion was a reality, most certainly, Allah Ta’ala would have revealed detailed protocol guidance to adopt as precautions against the hallucinated contagion. The theory of contagion and its meaning are not new. This was known to Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). He made specific reference to it, negating and refuting it. Now whoever promotes the opposite in refutation of the explicit Laa adwaa declaration of our Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), eliminates his Imaan.

Refraining from Cursing

Hazrat Shaikh Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) writes:

There are many men and women who suffer from the bad habit of sometimes cursing their children, etc, out of anger and grief. Remember that in the court of Allah Ta’ala there are certain moments of acceptance during which all du’aas are answered. Hence, at times due to foolishness and stupidity, the children are cursed out of anger, and when the effect of that curse comes upon the children and lands them into a calamity, the parents go around crying, not even realizing that they themselves had asked for this calamity through their curse. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) has prohibited us from cursing ourselves, our children, wealth, servants, etc, as it is possible that this curse will coincide with a moment of acceptance. One should exercise even more care in the month of Ramadhaan as the entire month is a period in which du‘aas are accepted. It is thus extremely important to avoid cursing in this month. (Fazaail-e-A’amaal [urdu], Fazaail-e-Ramadhaan pg. 22)

What Happened in New Zealand A Few Days Later

 

Reflections:

In today’s current social and political environment, being Muslim is truly becoming a challenge; it’s a struggle. It feels like we’re living in the times that were described by the Prophet  in a number of different narrations. The Prophet  said, “A time will come upon people when a person practicing his religion with patience will be like one holding on to a burning ember.”

 عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِمَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ “‏ يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ الصَّابِرُ فِيهِمْ عَلَىدِينِهِ كَالْقَابِضِ عَلَى الْجَمْر

Just like holding on to a burning ember is very difficult, it causes physical pain, holding on to our religion will also be very difficult. It will lead to hardships and difficulties. It seems as if every other week we’re dealing with some type of tragedy, some type of crisis. And each one seems to be bigger and worse than the last. As Anas raḍyAllāhu 'anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him) told those who were complaining about the trials and difficulties they were facing at the hands of Hajjāj ibn Yusuf, “There is no year, except that the one that is after it will be more evil than it, until you meet your Lord. I heard this from your Prophet .”

 “‏ مَا مِنْ عَامٍ إِلاَّالَّذِي بَعْدَهُ شَرٌّ مِنْهُ حَتَّى تَلْقَوْا رَبَّكُمْ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا مِنْ نَبِيِّكُمْ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.

Similarly, the Prophet  told us that we will face trial after trial, difficulty after difficulty. The Prophet  said that near the end of times the Ummah will be faced with trials and difficulties that it will dislike. Then he said, “There will be tremendous trials one after the other, each making the previous one dwindle into insignificance. When they would be afflicted with a trial, the believer would say: This is going to bring about my destruction. When at (the trial) is over, they would be afflicted with another trial, and the believer would say: This surely is going to be my end.”

· وَتَجِيءُ فِتْنَةٌ فَيُرَقِّقُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا وَتَجِيءُالْفِتْنَةُ فَيَقُولُ الْمُؤْمِنُ هَذِهِ مُهْلِكَتِي ‏.‏ ثُمَّ تَنْكَشِفُوَتَجِيءُ الْفِتْنَةُ فَيَقُولُ الْمُؤْمِنُ هَذِهِ هَذِهِ ‏.‏

This week, the Muslim ummah was faced with another devastating trial. Two separate mosques were attacked by a right-wing extremist in New Zealand during Friday prayer. According to the latest report approximately 49 god-conscious, mosque-going Muslims were massacred in cold bold. This is an absolute act of senseless violence. They were killed in the masjid simply because they believed in the kalima la ilaha illa Allah… There’s absolutely no mistake that this was a cowardly act of terrorism. May Allah grant all the deceased the highest ranks in Jannah and may He give patience and strength to their families.

This is a result of years of unchecked and unfiltered hate speech, xenophobia, Islamophobia, prejudice, and racism that has been propagated through the mainstream media. All of us know that the mainstream media, whether its CNN, BCC, or Fox News, portrays Islam and Muslims in the most negative light possible. There’s a whole well-funded industry of Islamophobia and propaganda dedicated to tarnishing the image of Islam and Muslims in the average person’s mind. They’ve created an environment where the word Islam has negative associations. To an extent that when someone hears the word Islam, they automatically think of violence, terror, bombings and the enemy.

Although the perpetrator himself carried out the massacre in cold blood, I can’t help but place blame on all those who demonize Islam and Muslims. Part of the blame rests with those politicians who use fear-mongering, hate and prejudice to paint Muslims as the “other” just to win votes. They say outlandish things like Muslims are colonizing and invading our countries. That they want to take over and impose Sharia Law. They introduce anti-Sharia bills to create more fear. Part of the blame goes to these obnoxious, loud-mouthed, bigoted pundits, like Bill Maher and his likes, who constantly spew inflammatory rhetoric from their influential platforms. Part of the blame goes to people like Lauren Southern, Tommy Robinson, Richard Spencer, Pamela Geller, and Frank Gaffney who are openly prejudiced towards Islam and try to create a sense of hate and fear in their viewer’s hearts. They openly speak of something they call “the Muslim problem”. Part of the blame goes to all these other bigots who use their influence to preach against Islam. There are so much bigotry and fear-mongering that at times it seems overwhelming. There’s so much bias, hate, and prejudice that sometimes we feel stuck. And it’s this rhetoric, this hate, this prejudice and bigotry that has created an environment that would allow for something like this to happen. Senseless acts of violence like this don’t happen in a vacuum. There are circumstances that are created that allow them to take place.

This tragic incident really hit home for a lot of us. Part of the reason is that Muslims living as minorities can actually relate to it. It feels real. It is real. The individuals killed in the masjid could’ve been any one of us. It could’ve been any one of our family members and that’s a scary thought. Whenever we see Muslims in pain, struggling, dealing with death and loss we’re supposed to feel that pain as well. As the Prophet  said, “The believers are like a single body. If the eye hurts the entire body feels the pain. If the head hurts the entire body feels that pain.” All of us are feeling that pain. I can’t even begin to imagine the amount of pain the parents and the families are feeling right now.

HOW DO WE CHANNEL THIS PAIN?

How do we deal with it? What are we supposed to do? One thing that we can definitely take solace in is the fact that the Prophet , the last and final messenger, our role model also felt that pain. He experiences similar trials and hardships. There was a very powerful anti-Islam, anti-Muslim sentiment among the people of Makkah. The Prophet  himself was attacked both verbally and physically. He dealt with the pain of rejection, prejudice, bigotry, and hatred. He had to deal with the pain of seeing some of his closest companions tortured, beaten, persecuted, and even killed. Yasir, his wife Sumayyah and their son ‘Ammar raḍyAllāhu 'anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him) faced painful persecution at the hands of Quraish. Yasir raḍyAllāhu 'anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him) died as a result of his persecution and his wife was killed by Abu Jahl just because they were Muslim. They were made to feel this pain, to go through these trials, difficulties and struggle to make them stronger. To develop their faith, personality, and character. This pain didn’t cause them to give in to fear; it didn’t make them scared. Rather, it made them stronger.

In multiple places throughout the Quran Allah  teaches the Prophet  how to deal with this pain. How to derive strength from these trials and hardships. When the people of Quraish rejected him when they called him a liar, a magician, a sorcerer and a madman Allah  told him, “So be patient, [O Muhammad]. Indeed, the promise of Allah is Truth. And ask forgiveness for your sin and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord in the evening and the morning.”

Allah  told him to seek strength through patience and prayer.

To focus on his relationship with Allah . Allah  told him something similar in Surah Taha, “So be patient over what they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night[exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied.”

These are the same words of advice that Allah  gives to us as believers, “O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.”

The true strength of believers has never been through financial or physical means. Their true power has always come through their spiritual strength.

These incidents are meant to push us closer to Allah , to unite us, to strengthen our faith, and make us more dedicated to our religion.

These are wake up calls. Allah  is literally shaking us and telling us to come back to him. It’s time to come back. That’s the only true way of changing our situation.

GREETING A FAASIQ

Q. The Majlis mentioned that it is not permissible to initiate Salaam for a clean-shaven man although one may respond to his salaam. The Ulama at our place are asking for the reference as they are not aware of this.
A. If the Ulama at your end are unaware of this simple mas’alah, then they should hang up their gloves. It is as simple as the mas’alahs pertaining to Wudhu. If they believe that we have erred, they should state their refutation and bolster it with evidence. We shall then respond, Insha-Allah.
In fact, we may have erred by having said that it is permissible to respond to the vile faasiq’s salaam. The actual mas’alah is that one should not respond to even his salaam. It is not permissible to offer Salaam or to respond to the salaam of a person whilst indulging in sin, e.g. whilst a barber is shaving someone’s beard or cutting a haraam haircut, or a person is listening to music, or eating carrion haraam chicken/meat, or speaking to a ghair mahram, etc., etc.
A beardless man is perpetually under Allah’s Curse. He is mal-oon. Allah’s ghadab and la’nat descend on him every second. Greeting such an accursed creature is not permissible. Offering Salaam is to honour a person. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “When a faasiq is honoured, the Arsh of Allah shudders.”
