نواقض الإسلام
Nawaaqid Al-Islam - Nullifiers of Islam
By the Noble Shaykh Muhammad ibn AbdulWahab
قال الإمام المجدد شيخ الإسلام محمد بن عبد الوهاب ـ رحمه الله ـ : اعلم أن نواقض الإسلام عشرة , الأول : الشرك في عبادة الله تعالى , قال الله تعالى : (( إن الله لا يغفر أن يشرك به ويغفر ما دون ذلك لمن يشاء )) وقال تعالى : (( إنه من يشرك بالله فقد حرم عليه الجنه ومأواه النار وما للظالمين من أنصار )) ومنه الذبح لغير الله كمن يذبح للجن أو للقبر .
THE FIRST NULLIFIER
Know that the Nullifiers of Islaam are ten.
First: Shirk (associating partners) in the worship of Allaah. Allaah says:
“Verily, Allaah does not forgive that partners be associated with Him in
worship (i.e. Shirk), but He forgives what is less than that to whom He
wills.” [Surah An-Nisaa: 116]
And He says:
“Verily, the one who mixes partners in worship with Allaah
(Shirk), then Paradise has been made forbidden for him and his final
abode will be the Hellfire. And the wrongdoers will not have any helpers
(in Hell).” [Surah Al-Maa’idah: 72]
What falls into this is performing sacrifices to someone other than Allaah,
such as the person who offers a sacrifice to the Jinn or to a grave.
قال الإمام ـ رحمه الله ـ : (( الثاني : من جعل بينه وبين الله وسائط يدعوهم ويسألهم الشفاعة , ويتوكل عليهم كفر إجماعا )) .
THE SECOND NULLIFIER
Second: Whoever places intermediaries between himself and Allaah, calling
unto them and asking intercession from them, and seeking reliance in them,
has committed disbelief according to the unanimous agreement
(Ijmaa’).
قال الإمام ـ رحمه الله ـ (( الثالث : من لم يكفر المشركين أو شك في كفرهم , أو صحح مذهبهم كفر )) .
THE THIRD NULLIFIER
Third: Whoever does not hold the polytheists to be disbelievers, or has doubts
about their disbelief or considers their ways and beliefs to be correct, has
committed disbelief.
قال الإمام ـ رحمه الله ـ : (( الرابع : من اعتقد أن غير هدي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أكمل من هديه وأن حكم غيره أحسن من حكمه كالذي يفضل حكم الطواغيت على حكمه فهو كافر )) .
THE FOURTH NULLIFIER
Fourth: Whoever believes that some guidance other than that of the Prophet’s (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) is more complete than his guidance and that someone else’s judgement is better than his judgement, such as the one who prefers the judgement of the Tawaagheet (pl. of Taaghoot; false
deities/religions) over his judgement, then he is a disbeliever.
قال الإمام ـ رحمه الله ـ : (( الخامس : من أبغض شيئا مما جاء به الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم , ولو عمل به كفر )).
THE FIFTH NULLIFIER
Fifth: Whoever hates something that the Messenger came with, even though
he may act on it, has disbelieved.
قال الإمام ـ رحمه الله ـ : السادس من استهزأ بشي من دين الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم أو ثوابه أو عقابه كفر , والدليل قوله تعالى : (( قل أ بالله وآياته ورسوله كنتم تستهزئون لا تعتذروا قد كفرتم بعد إيمانكم )) .
THE SIXTH NULLIFIER
Sixth: Whoever mocks or ridicules any part of the Messenger’s Religion or its
rewards or punishments has committed an act of disbelief. The proof for this
is Allaah’s statement: “Say: ‘Was it Allaah and His verses and His
Messenger that you were mocking? Make no excuses, you have
disbelieved after having had faith.” [Surah At-Tawbah: 65-66]
قال الإمام ـ رحمه الله ـ : السابع : السحر ومنه الصرف والعطف , فمن فعله أو رضي به كفر , والدليل قوله تعالى : (( وما يعلمان من أحد حتى يقولا إنما نحن فتنة فلا تكفر )) .
THE SEVENTH NULLIFIER
Seventh: Sorcery, which includes magic spells that cause a person to hate
something he seeks after (sarf) or love something he doesn’t seek after (‘atf).
So whoever performs it or is pleased with it being done, has committed
disbelief.
The proof for this is Allaah’s statement:
“And neither of these two (angels) would teach anyone until they had first said to them: ‘We are only a trial (for the people), so do not commit disbelief.’” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 102]
قال الإمام ـ رحمه الله ـ : (( الثامن : مظاهرة المشركين ومعاونتهم على المسلمين والدليل قوله تعالى : (( ومن يتولهم منكم فأنه منهم إن الله لا يهدي القوم الظالمين ))
THE EIGHTH NULLIFIER
Eighth: Supporting and assisting the polytheists against the Muslims.
The proof for this is Allaah’s statement:
“And whoever amongst you takes them (i.e. the disbelievers) as allies and
protectors then he is indeed from among them. Verily, Allaah does not
guide a wrong-doing people.” [Surah Al-Maa’idah: 51]
قال الإمام ـ رحمه الله ـ : (( التاسع من اعتقد أن بعض الناس يسعه الخروج عن شريعة محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم كما وسع الخضر الخروج عن شريعة موسى عليه السلام فهو كافر )) .
THE NINTH NULLIFIER
Ninth: Whoever believes that it is permitted for some people to be free of
(implementing) the Sharee’ah (revealed laws) of Muhammad (i.e. Islaam), just
as it was permitted for Al-Khidr to be free from the Sharee’ah of Moosaa, then
he is a disbeliever.
قال الإمام ـ رحمه الله ـ (( ولا فرق في جميع هذه النواقض بين الهازل والجاد والخائف إلا المكره وكلها من أعظم ما يكون خطرا وأكثر ما يكون وقوعا فينبغي للمسلم أن يحذرها ويخاف منها على نفسه نعوذ بالله من موجبات غضبه وأليم عقابه , وصلى الله على خير خلقه محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم ))
THE TENTH NULLIFIER
Tenth: Turning away from Allaah’s Religion, not learning it or implementing it
(is an act of disbelief).
The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:
“And who does more wrong than he who is reminded of the ayaat
(signs/verses) of his Lord, then turns away from them. Verily, We shall
extract retribution from the criminals.” [Surah As-Sajdah: 22]
There is no difference, with regard to (committing any of) these nullifiers, between the one who jokes, the one who is serious or the one who does so out of fear. However, the one who commits them due to being coerced (is
excused). All of these (ten) matters are from the gravest in danger and from those that most often occur. So the Muslim must beware of them and fear from these acts befalling him. We seek refuge in Allaah from those things that bring about His Anger and painful Punishment. May the peace and blessing be on the best of His creatures, Muhammad (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).
