No compromise on Islamic principles
August 10: All praise is due to Allah. May peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his household and companions.
Fellow Muslims! Fear Allah, put your trust in Him, seek for His aid and humble yourselves before Him in
order to be elevated and have a good ending in this world and the hereafter. Allah says,
“No doubt verily, the friends of Allah, no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve. Those who
believed in the oneness of Allah and used to fear Him much.” (Yunus 10:62-63)
Brethren in Faith! When one takes a cursory look at the series of the current world happenings one will
conclude that he who claims that any concepts, movements or ideologies that do not emanate from
Islam and its pristine teachings can solve the world problems and correct the wrongs should be either
abnormal, sick or a conspirator who should not be trusted at all.
Islam is a pure religion that frees man from worshipping fellow creatures to the worshipping of the
Creator. It affirms that real glory can only be achieved through Islam while humiliation is a result of
keeping away from it. No matter what happens, it is impossible for Islam to enter a heart with all its
sweetness and yet that heart surrenders to any other authority besides that of Allah. Allah says,
“Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam.” (Aal ‘Imraan 3:19)
He also says,
“Whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him and in the Hereafter he will
be one of the losers.” (Aal ‘Imraan 3:85)
Brethren in Islam! When we see a lot of atrocities that are being committed all over the Muslim world
and we hear the agonies of those whose lands and properties are wrongly occupied and seized without
anyone standing up to answer the clarion call for help being made by the victims of these atrocities, we
start to ponder over the causes of this weakness that has befallen the Muslim nation, the silence of
those who have the truth and the woes, division and calamities that the might of the falsehood people
has brought to the humanity. If we make a good diagnosis of our condition, it will not be difficult to
identify the disease. Yes, things may not be permanently good for the Muslims; they may have problems
here and there, for attaining perfection in worldly comfort is illusory. It is therefore good to train oneself
in how to confront attacks on Islam and the Muslims and get oneself ready to endure and stand firm
without wasting time on passing commentaries that bring no benefit nor remove harm. Moreover, all
these afflictions that befall the Muslim nation between now and then are mere trials with which Allah
distinguishes between the good and the bad. Allah enjoins us to react whenever He tries us with good
things of this world with the saying of Prophet Sulaymaan,
“This is by the Grace of my Lord to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful.” (An-Naml 27:40)
He also forbids us from reacting during afflictions like those whom He describes in this verse,
“And among mankind is he who worships Allah as it were, upon the edge (i.e. in doubt): if good befalls
him, he is content therewith; but if a trials befalls him he turns back on his face (i.e. he reverts to
disbelief after embracing Islam). He loses both this world and the Hereafter. That is the evident loss.”
(Al-Hajj 22:11)
Brethren in Islam! Non-Muslims shall never be pleased with Muslims until they abandon their religion and
their Divine Law or at least make a lot of compromise that will leave nothing left of Islam but its name
only. ‘Umar came to the Messenger of Allah with a book he got from some people of the Scripture and
started reading it. The Messenger of Allah got annoyed and said,
“I have brought unto you a pure and clean religion. Do not ask people of the Book anything lest they
tell you the truth which you may deny and tell you a lie which you may believe. By Him in Whose hand
is my soul, if (Prophet) Moosa were to be alive now, he would have no option but to follow me.”
Therefore, bargaining with the religion of Islam or any of its values or established concepts is the
greatest act of treachery and madness, for man’s and the society’s glory lies in their adherence to
Islam, its practices and in remaining firm on that till death. So, he whom the circumstances of this
worldly life has changed or that his very essence has been altered by these worldly slogans and
therefore abandoned his religion, such is a disgraced person and a loser whose lot ignominy. Allah says,
“Verily, those who have turned back as disbelievers after the guidance have been manifested to them,
Satan has beautified for them (their false hopes) and Allah prolonged their term. This is because they
said to those who hate what Allah has sent down: ‘We will obey you in part of the matter.’ But Allah
knows their secrets. Then how will it be when the angels take their souls at death, smiting their faces
and their backs? That is because they follow that which angers Allah and hated that which pleases Him.
So He made their deeds fruitless.” (Muhammad 47:25-28)
Islam enjoins the Muslims to stand firm in their religion. Allah says in the Qur’an,
“And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty (death).” (Al-Hijr 15:99)
The Messenger of Allah, while encouraging his companions to be steadfast and remain firm in the face
of any trials used to tell them of the stories of the brave people among those who were before them.
He would say,
“A ditch would be dug for one of those who were before you and he would then be put into that ditch.
A saw would be brought, put on his head and cut his head into two; yet, that would not divert him from
his religion. Also, a metal comb will be driven into his flesh alive and yet that would not change him from
his religion.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
It is therefore surprising to see those who know the gravity of following other religions beside Islam or
loving and adoring the enemies of Islam whatever the circumstances may be, to succumb to their
pressures, putting one’s writings and thoughts under their control, yielding to their desires and
answering their calls to smite Islam, compromising on some of its concepts and values or casting doubt
on the Muslims’ educational system and the fruits of Islamic reawakening. Doing any of the above is a
great sin and speaking good of it is a great falsehood.
Dear Muslims! You may be disappointed by those ideologies that carry the name of Islam and whose
propagators are deluded by their wealth, popularity and lust into writing and saying strangest things
about Islam with no fairness nor justice. The best we can say of these people is that they are products
of western imitation that knows no difference between established values and changing situations or
attributing things to other than its causes. If a person were to steal in a mosque, these people would
have called for the demolition of the mosque or at least closing up of it in order to avoid reoccurrence
as they would claim. And if a veiled woman were to commit a fraud, they would call to the abolition of
Hijaab and claim that it aids fraud. They would however not support the amputation of the thief or a
deterrent punishment for the veiled lady but would instead call for the demolition of the mosque and
abolition of Hijaab.
Abu Sufyaan came to the city of Madinah before he embraced Islam and entered the house of his
daughter Umm Habeebah (a wife of the Prophet). When he wanted to sit on the Prophet’s bed, she
folded it. Abu Sufyaan asked in astonishment,
“Are you keeping me away from the bed or keeping the bed away from me?!” She answered, “This is the
Messenger of Allah’s bed and you are an idolater and filthy.”
This is a word of Umm Habeebah that contradicts the popular Arab saying,
“Every girl is proud of her father.”
Umm Habeebah, by this deed of hers set a good precedent of how serious a Muslim should be in matters
of his faith however minute it is even if it involves close relatives as one’s father. She did this to her
father simply because he has not yet embraced Islam.
Brethren in faith! The Message of Islam is like the Prophet’s bed that should be held in high esteem and
with honour and respect. Whoever allows anyone who is not a Muslim to sit on it out of shyness or
because of a favour, such a person did not give Allah and His Messenger their due estimation neither did
he respect his religion and his community. Hence, it is very natural to conclude that there will be no
human maturity where the ties with Allah has been severed and where there is hatred for His law. What
is therefore being rumoured lately that there are some ideologies that will keep a Muslim away from his
religion and leave him with practising only a part thereof while he will no more have any regard for
Islamic legal punishments is very dangerous and will not augur well for the humanity as a whole. But the
ideologies themselves pose some questions.
When has the belief in Allah become an easy issue in which denial and faith are equal? When has Islamic
Monotheism and associating partners with Allah in worship become the same thing? Has the matter of
faith become so insignificant that there is no more line of demarcation between permanent values and
continuous happenings, between justice and injustice and between truth and doubt? If a man tells us
that the earth is square or that Atlantic and sea water is sweet, we will certainly write him off as mad
and stupid. How then do we react in such a way to a mistake done as regards mundane facts and not
do the same if the mistake is committed as regards matters concerning Allah the Lord of all the worlds?
“Verily, those who turn away from our Signs are not hidden from us. Is he who is cast into Fire better or
he who comes secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do what you will. Verily, He is All-Seer of what you
do.” (Fussilat 41:40)
It is now up to the men of wisdom and truth to guide people to that which can preserve Islam for them,
protect them and let them have confidence in the principles of their religion as well as their educational
system and law. They should warn the generality of the Muslims against the evils of their enemies and
establish for them a balance of justice in word and deed so that, they will be able to distinguish
between good and evil.
Fellow Muslims! Muslim countries and established Islamic values and concepts have become targets of
attack from internal and external enemies. One particular example is the land of the two Sacred
Mosques. The enemies have launched a malicious attack against this country, but by the Grace of
Allah, it will never surrender to those who cast doubt on its religion, values and systems, for their
educational systems, ideologies and their policy of are based on the and their policy of allegiance and
renunciation are all based on Islamic Faith of Monotheism. Its people will never become mouthpiece for
falsehood and error which the enemy wants them to be. Allah says,
“Those who wait and watch about you; if you gain a victory from Allah, they say: ‘Were we not with
you?’ But if the believers gain a success, they say (to them): ‘Did we not gain mastery over you and did
we not protect you from the believers?’ Allah will judge between you (all) on the Day of Resurrection.
And never will Allah grant to the disbelievers a way (to triumph) over the believers.” (An-Nisaa 4:141)
Brethren in Faith! Every nation has its policy, philosophy and ideology. And it has a special way of
dealing with its problems whether it is good or not. It is therefore illogical and unfair to accuse Islam of
problems it has nothing to do with and which are rather alien to it or as a result, to request the Muslims
to think according to the accusers perspectives in total disregard for Islam. In order have deeper
understanding of Islamic principle of allegiance and renunciation, to avoid what kept many people away
from their glory and shinning history; in order to avoid making unwarranted ideological and educational
compromises and avoid western subordination, we must the following points in mind:
One: That our faith is based on Islamic Monotheism, submission to Allah through obedience and
abstention from associating any partner to Him. This is the correct faith besides whose no other creeds
will accepted. Allah says,
Surely, they have disbelieved who say: ‘Allah is the Messiah son of Mary.’ But the Messiah said: ‘O
Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’ Verily, whosoever sets up partners (in worship)
with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the
polytheists and wrongdoers, there are no helpers.” (Al-Maaidah 5:72)
Two: That, it is absolutely impossible to achieve Islamic solidarity among individuals and societies while
some of them hate others or detest Islam or reject some of its teachings.
Three: In order that the desired unity may be achieved, there should be concordance in the means and
goals and that should be in accordance with the truth and Shari'ah. Any unity that takes place outside
the established Islamic rules and values is a mere illusion.
Four: That the weakness of the Muslims as a nation has its source in their individual weaknesses before
pressures from their enemies added to that. We are not the first nation to be tested and urged to
remain firm in its religion.
Five: That our desired civilization should be based on unity, bridging the gaps between us, being proud
of our religion and upon supporting our religious values and refuting the allegations against Islam and its
systems. Our call should be unto the revival of Islamic unity and we should show the true picture of
Islam upon which the constructive Islamic resurgence and rightful thought can be based. Allah says,
“Shall We treat those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah) and do righteous good deeds as Mufsidoon
(those associate partners with Allah and commit crimes) on earth? Or shall We treat the pious as the
criminals?” (Saad 38:28)
August 10: All praise is due to Allah. May peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his household and companions.
