I disagree with some certain Shafi'i fiqh (rulings and/or understandings) and also possibly some other points of contention in creed potentially if people want to make it a thing which splits apart the ummah, muslims into sects etc. over theological understandings but I do draw a line somewhere and do believe in what is best still and most perfect but that doesn't mean that my view is the only legitimate view and/or that other people who have differing views such as Athari's in creed are not Muslims. That's not right. This is really great btw.

Whoever accepts an appointment as a judge, it is as if he has been slaughtered without a knife.Source: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 3571, Grade: Qawi


Buraydah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

الْقُضَاةُ ثَلَاثَةٌ قَاضِيَانِ فِي النَّارِ وَقَاضٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ رَجُلٌ قَضَى بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ فَعَلِمَ ذَاكَ فَذَاكَ فِي النَّارِ وَقَاضٍ لَا يَعْلَمُ فَأَهْلَكَ حُقُوقَ النَّاسِ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ وَقَاضٍ قَضَى بِالْحَقِّ فَذَلِكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِThe judges are three kinds: two judges are in Hellfire and one judge is in Paradise. A man who judges without the truth while he knows it, he is in Hellfire. A judge who has no knowledge and violates the rights of people, he is in Hellfire. A judge who judges with the truth, he is in Paradise.Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 1322, Grade: Sahih

‘Awf ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

إِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَنْبَأْتُكُمْ عَنِ الْإِمَارَةِ وَمَا هِيَ أَوَّلُهَا مَلَامَةٌ وَثَانِيهَا نَدَامَةٌ وثَالِثُهَا عَذَابٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا مَنْ عَدَلَIf you wish, shall I not tell you what is leadership? The first of it is blameworthy, the second of it is regret, and the third of it is punishment, unless he is just.Source: al-Mu’jam al-Kabīr lil-Ṭabarānī 18/71, Grade: Hasan

Abu Umamah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَلِي أَمْرَ عَشَرَةٍ فَمَا فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا أَتَى اللهَ مَغْلُولًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَدُهُ إِلَى عُنُقِهِ فَكَّهُ بِرُّهُ أَوْ أَوْبَقَهُ إِثْمُهُ أَوَّلُهَا مَلَامَةٌ وَأَوْسَطُهَا نَدَامَةٌ وَآخِرُهَا خِزْيٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِNo man is given authority over ten people or more but that he will come to Allah on the Day of Resurrection with his hands in shackles up to his neck. His freedom is his righteousness, or his imprisonment is his sin. The first of it is blame, the middle of it is regret, and the last of it is disgrace on the Day of Resurrection.Source: Musnad Aḥmad 22300, Grade: Sahih li ghayrihi

Abu Dharr reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, will you not appoint me as a leader?” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, struck my chest with his hand, then he said:

يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّكَ ضَعِيفٌ وَإِنَّهَا أَمَانَةُ وَإِنَّهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ خِزْيٌ وَنَدَامَةٌ إِلَّا مَنْ أَخَذَهَا بِحَقِّهَا وَأَدَّى الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ فِيهَاO Abu Dharr, you are weak and it is a position of public trust. Verily, on the Day of Resurrection it will only result in regret, except for one who takes it by right and fulfills its duties.

And the Prophet (s) said:

إِنِّي أُحِبُّ لَكَ مَا أُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِي لَا تَأَمَّرَنَّ عَلَى اثْنَيْنِ وَلَا تَوَلَّيَنَّ مَالَ يَتِيمٍI love for you what I love for myself. Do not command even two people, and do not manage the property of an orphan.Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1825, Grade: Sahih

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

إِنَّكُمْ سَتَحْرِصُونَ عَلَى الإِمَارَةِ وَسَتَكُونُ نَدَامَةً يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ فَنِعْمَ المُرْضِعَةُ وَبِئْسَتِ الفَاطِمَةُVerily, you will crave leadership and it will be a source of regret on the Day of Resurrection. How nice is the wet nurse, yet how evil is the weaning!Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 7148, Grade: Sahih

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him, said:

وَيْلٌ لِلْأُمَرَاءِ وَيْلٌ لِلْعُرَفَاءِ وَيْلٌ لِلْأُمَنَاءِ لَيَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَقْوَامٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنَّ ذَوَائِبَهُمْ كَانَتْ مُعَلَّقَةً بِالثُّرَيَّا يَتَذَبْذَبُونَ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَكُونُوا عَمِلُوا عَلَى شَيْءٍWoe to the rulers! Woe to the chiefs! Woe to the trustees! On the Day of Resurrection, some people will wish that their hair was hanging from the sky and swinging between heaven and earth, rather than had done anything they did.Source: Musnad Aḥmad 8627, Grade: Hasan

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

وَيْلٌ لِلْأُمَرَاءِ وَيْلٌ لِلْعُرَفَاءِ وَيْلٌ لِلْأُمَنَاءِ لَيَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَقْوَامٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنَّ ذَوَائِبَهُمْ كَانَتْ مُعَلَّقَةً بِالثُّرَيَّا يَتَذَبْذَبُونَ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَكُونُوا عَمِلُوا عَلَى شَيْءٍWoe to the rulers! Woe to the authorities! Woe to the trustees! Some people will wish their forelocks were hanging from the star of Pleiades on the Day of Resurrection, rather than had done anything they did.Source: Musnad Aḥmad 8627, Grade: Hasan

Made me cry. Ya Allah may Allah bless the Sahaba, may Allah be pleased with them. What amazingness. It was all meant to be. If Abu Bakr didn't become Caliph, the events that came about after that would have all been different.


Previously I had read only a bit of this book and put it down for later, it was a long time ago, but it was only recently that it Allah (S.W.T.) put it in my heart to want to get into it again (was time). I looked and found the book about a week or so earlier (it's a little special to me, and I try to keep it in good shape) and look at that timing?! I'm still in the process of reading, I'm in the section about Omar Al-bin Al-Katab RT.A. still, on pg. 82 to be exact in the year 17 A.H. (after hijrah - The Prophet Muhammad's migration and "conquest" of Madinah) before the conquest of Jazirah and the removal of Khalid but I did skip ahead and read some about Ali R.A. at the end of the book as well.


It puts a nail in the whole Shi'a religion or theology. Plus the Qur'an itself(!)(quite clearly) states some things about the impermissibility of sexual "hookups" or cheating (adultery), which is permitted by Shia sects under their temporary marriages. Getting fiqh wrong and following wrong fiqh doesn't make one an unbeliever per say though. I still would view the Shia as nearly Muslim. They're very close anyway, like cousins kind of like and Allah knows best about every single person and what they learned and grew up with in their lives and will judge fairly about every person's deen and their capabilities, etc. It's not easy to debate and talk about this and these kinds of complex topics/issues with people but it can be put to rest that there is no doubts that Sunni Islam is the correct Islam. That's for certain...

This lecture has more details on some things and the fights etc. than the above book (which is really compact and just gives a general overview with a sunni-biased kind of point-of-view) but combining the two to study a bit is really nice.


From both of these sources, point to a more merciful view than what I have seen in some schools on certain rulings of how to treat people, specifically Christians, Jews and Non-Muslims. It seems to me the Hanafi school of fiqh gets this most correct in how Muslims should go about treating non-muslims under or in an Islamic system of governance and out-of. I think the hadith of treating Christrians, saying to force them to the narrow part of the road has to be considered also with the Qur'an and how to debate and talk to Christrians and also other Ayat's that state the superiority of Muslims over Christians because we have the truth and we practice and live by Allah's laws and do salat and give zakat etc. so don't act like you are inferior to Christrians even if it is just "acting", outwardly and it's not in your heart to be "cold" towards them. Anyway, it is complicated...It's not okay to say that Allah has a son or any associate god's (little "g" "god" or "gods") or such things. It isn't right at all, placing Allah on such a level and it influences one's life perspective - to say very little on the matter...It gives one the perception that what they do in this life doesn't really matter too much at all, potentially, potentially...

May Allah bless Ibn Taymiyya, he might have had an imperfect in my view theology a bit, but that doesn't lessen the life that he lived and may Allah have mercy on him (nor is it his fault that the Wahhabbi's have taken him up as their own or one of their looked up to scholars and people of the deen and I largely agree with him about the etiquettes of praising the Prophet Muhammad and being spiritual but not going too far like putting the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. as on the same level as Allah or something, that's wrong...but it's not wrong to praise the Prophet S.A.W. or to do group dhikr etc...and I'm still learning...) : Ibn Taymiyya and Abul Barakat Al Baghdadi Part 1 KnowTheology • 103 views
