Sabil an-Najat Wal-Fikak The way of Cutting relations off from the mushrik and the murtad Hamad b Atiq (d. 1301AH) Author He is the Al-Allamah, Hamad Ibn Ali Ibn Atiq, from the Ulama of Najd; born in az-Zulafi in the year 1227 AH, and he was appointed by imam Abdurrahman Ibn Hasan al ash-Shaykh as a qadhi of several cities (such as al-Kharaj and al-Aflaj); he is an author of many beneficial works in theology and fiqh, amongst them Ibtal at-Tandid Sharh Kitab at-Tawhid, and Sabil an-Najat Wal-Fikak and many other treaties. He became one of the most well known fuqaha. He had many known students and some notable names amongst his students are, his son Sa’d, imam Abdullah Ibn Abdullatif, Shaykh Sulayman Ibn Sahman, and Shaykh Hasan Ibn Abdullah Ibn Hasan. He passed away in al-Aflaj in the year 1301, and left behind ten sons, a number of whom also later became judges. Preface of Hamad Ibn Ali Ibn Atiq All praise to Allah (swt) who had sent-down His book as firm and rightly quide to His slave Muhammad (saw). Allah (awj) made His book a protector and hujjah for those who stick to His deen. Salat and salam be upon Muhammad (saw) whom Allah (jj) sent as a guide to mankind, his ahl bayt and his ashab. They were those who made jihad against the ahl kufr, while without having hesitation they explained the truth, they tried to exalt the haq. In my work I tried to mention repeatedly the issue of alliance with the mushrik, I wanted people around me to show enmity towards kuffar while obeying the commands of Allah (swt). For this reason while expressing the issue related ayah, even if it was little I benefited from the explanations of some of the muhaqqiq (scholar) ahl of ilm and ahl of deen. I expect that whoever has iman that the Qur’an is the kalam of Allah; he will perform things which are made fardh (obligatory) by Allah, once he learns he will accept them and will run to obedience, while putting effort to actualize whatever he learns, he will immediately obey the following commands of Allah: “Follow (O men!) the revelation given unto you from your Lord, and follow not, as friends or protectors, other than Him. Little it is ye remember of admonition.” (al-Araf 7/3) “But no, by the Lord, they can have no (real) Faith, until they make thee judge in all disputes between them, and find in their souls no resistance against Thy decisions, but accept them with the fullest conviction.” (an-Nisa 4/65) “…but if, as is sure, there comes to you Guidance from Me, whosoever follows My Guidance, will not lose his way, nor fall into misery. But whosoever turns away from My Message, verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment. He will say: ‘O my Lord! why hast Thou raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)?’ (Allah) will say: ‘Thus didst Thou, when Our Signs came unto thee, disregard them: so wilt thou, this day, be disregarded’.” (Ta-Ha 20/123-126) As it was before, in todays world some ignorant and stubborn people, while denying the act of ‘showing friendship towards Muslim and showing enmity towards kuffar’ which is made fard upon Muslims by Allah; they perform such acts which are against it. These people who attribute themselves to ahl-deen are divided into afew groups. Some among them even though they do not openly express it, they find this deviation of the ahl of jahilliyyah to be good and they are content with this situation. Some of them without seeing it to be good, they excuse those who does this while accepting them as ignorant. Although Allah made wajib upon Muslim to ‘show friendship towards Muslim and to show enmity towards the kuffar’ in opposition they do not make takfir of the doers and they do not show the act which must be showed. Allah (awj) commands: “Those who conceal the clear (Signs) We have sent down, and the Guidance, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book,-on them shall be Allah's curse, and the curse of those entitled to curse,-” (al-Baqara 2/159) “And remember Allah took a covenant from the People of the Book, to make it known and clear to mankind, and not to hide it; but they threw it away behind their backs, and purchased with it some miserable gain! And vile was the bargain they made!” (al-e Imran 3/187) In the ayah the necessity of ‘while showing enmity towards kuffar, cutting every type of relationship off with them’ is mentioned. In this book; what the things that take one out of fold of Islam are, the situation of those who obey the mushrik and the situation of those who openly establish deen to them, in what conditions people will be accounted as mustadhaf, in what conditions hijrah becomes obligatory and such issues as hijrah will be continue till qiyamah are taken in hand. I ask Allah to accept this work which I gave the name ‘The way of Cutting relations off from the mushrik and the murtad’ from me and let it benefit those who seek hidayah. *** the archive of the salaf and the discussion forum "Darultawhid" www.darultavhid.com/en
