Q&A: At-Taqiyyah | Sheikh Ata’ Abu Rashtah

As-Salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakaatuhu  to the noble Scholar Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah, may Allah protect him. May I please ask you for your time and patience to answer the following questions? The Jordanian Minister of Endowments and Holy Islamic Affairs (Awqaaf) said that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم practised Taqiyyah and that this is mentioned in a Quranic text and noble Hadith and that there exists an incorrect belief that it is from the Shi'a Madh'hab (school of thought) citing the ayah: لَّا مَنْ أُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهُ مُطْمَئِنٌّ بِالْإِيمَانِ "Except for the one who is coerced (forced) whilst his heart remains firmly content upon belief (Imaan)." (An-Nahl: 106) And the saying of the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم: صلى الله عليه وسلم: "إن في معاريض الكلام لمندوحة عن الكذب "Allusions (Ma'aareed) in the speech is Manduhah (avoidance) from telling a lie." He also mentioned that the Messenger صلى الله

Q&A: Dutifulness to parents between a family member in dar al-Islam and one in dar al-Harb

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem Assalamu alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatahu It is mentioned in the book, The Islamic State, on p.140:  "Every person holding the citizenship of the State enjoys the full rights decreed for him by the Shari'ah, whether he is Muslim or not. Anyone not holding that citizenship is deprived of these rights, even if he were Muslim. For instance, if a Muslim man had a Christian mother who held the Islamic citizenship and a father who did not, then his mother would qualify to receive sustenance from him and his father would not. If the mother claimed it from him the judge would rule in her favour because she would be classified as a citizen of the Islamic State, whereas if the father attempted to do likewise the judge would reject his claim because he would not be classified as one of its citizens." And the question here is: Irrespective of the person being Muslim or non-Muslim and irrespective of him holding citizenship for the Islamic

Q&A: The Hukm of the Haram money after Taubah (Repentance)

To the Scholar Ata Ibn Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah, may Allah Protect you.  As-Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah: What is the Hukm (Islamic ruling) concerning the Haram money after Taubah like the money that has come by means of interest, stealing, vulgar singing, or other than that? Is their specification or is the Hukm singular? And if the money was Haram and even if the one who possessed it had sought repentance (Taubah) there could be a person that wishes to make Taubah but fears the loss of his wealth... So is there in this an exception so that his Taubah is coveted like some of the Sheikhs have stated? From Tamir Al-Hajj Muhammad Answer: Wa Alaikumu Assallam Wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuhu, Allah سبحانه وتعالى says: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا تُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ تَوْبَةً نَصُوحًا "O you who have believed, repent to Allah with sincere repentance." And He سبحانه وتعالى has said: إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تَابُوا وَأَصْلَحُوا وَاعْتَصَمُوا بِاللَّهِ وَأَخْلَص

Calls to the people of Al-Kinaanah (Egypt) - Series of Thoughts 1

O people in Al-Kinaanah, Fustat (the capital of Egypt under Islaam) calls you to leave all disputes and killing between you for the sake of an oppressive Kufr client regime to America. Stand up for Allah and support His Deen by establishing the Khilafah and applying the Shar’a of your Lord. Fustat Al-Imaan is calling you to cast out the Kufr regime and its constitution, laws, legislations and those who support them and instead make the sovereignty to the creator and the Lord of all humankind in the state, society and life on the ground. So that we worship Him and don not associate with Him in anything or anyway in terms of man-made laws. This is what your Imaan has dictated to you. And supporting the Deen of Allah does not happen by inclining towards an oppressor who does not rule by what Allah (swt) has revealed or an oppressor who is safeguarding the American colonial regime. Rather supporting the Deen is by establishing the Khilafah State and the application of Islaam. And supp

Calls to the people of Al-Kinaanah (Egypt) - Series of Thoughts 3

Allah (swt) said: وَاتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْكُمْ خَاصَّةً وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ And fear the Fitnah that does not specifically afflict those of you who have done Zhulm (wrong) alone. And know that Allah is severe in punishment.(Al-Anfaal). And He (swt) said: وَمَن لَّمْ يَحْكُم بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ And whosoever has not ruled by what Allah has revealed then they are the Zhaalimoon (oppressors) (Al-Maa’idah 45). So whoever has ruled by other than the rules of Islaam is a Zhaalim (oppressor and wrongdoer) as the Qur’aanic text has guided to. The democratic secular republican system is Kufr because the Siyaadah (sovereignty) i.e. the right to legislate and put down a system by which people’s lives are regulated, belongs to the people and not to Allah as Islaam has obligated. This is because the constitution and the laws of the republican system are based on a foundation that opposes
