Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm
Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said that a person who doesn’t truly believe is one who doesn’t wish for his fellow believer what he wishes for himself. That is what we call true īmān. In Islām, everyone is Muslim, but those who truly believe are few. Therefore, if a true believer doesn’t wish well for his fellow Muslim, he hasn’t reached the level of īmān.
A true believer wishes good for believers. He helps as much as he can. All kinds of help, material and spiritual; as much as he can. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t burden anyone or command anything beyond what one can do.
Some things are commanded, and people must do them. There is Zakāt in Islām; it is obligatory. It is obligatory to give Zakāt. One must certainly do it because it certainly benefits believers. It also helps the poor and meets their needs. Moreover, it is to show the way of religion, what the true way is.
It’s not acceptable to give fatwas based on one’s own mind. Fatwas are issued by scholars of religion, just as the scholars of Ahlu s-Sunnah wa al-Jamā’ah say. Ahlu s-Sunnah wa al-Jamā’ah are the people of ṭarīqah of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Those outside of it are not, because they issue fatwas according to their own opinions.
The people of ṭarīqah follow the way that comes from our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. That way is the true way. Those who follow it will be saved. Those who do not follow it will perish, or become puppets of others. They will be led astray into the bad way by others in vain.
They may think they are on the way of religion, but they become enemies of religion, and have nothing to do with religion. Because those who do not heed and fulfills the commands of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam have left the religion. They have made judgments according to their own opinions.
Therefore, those who claim to be Muslims but harm Muslims are not Muslims. They lack īmān. May Allāh ﷻ protect us, they can also leave religion. Therefore, one must be careful.
Showing people the right way is also a condition of īmān; with those who accept it. Those who do not accept, don’t strive much with them. Let them do what they want, let them do as they please. It’s up to them; they know for themselves.
The reward of believers who show the way and want to do good is with Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Everything they do is written in the Presence of Allāh ﷻ. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will give them their reward.
May Allāh ﷻ not separate you from īmān. May He ﷻ not lead you astray, in shā’a Llāh. May people not become a toy for shayṭān. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.
Al-Fatiha.
