    DA’WAH OF AL-IKHWAN AL-MUSLIMIN

    MILLATU
    IBRAHIM
    Taken From Works Of :
    JUHAYMAN AL-‘UTAYBI
    (Rahimaullah)

    IBN MALIK AL-ATHARI


    @EXPOSING_HAZIMIYAH
    The Millah of Ibrahim is established on two foundations: (a)
    Devotion of worship being to Allah alone; and (b) disavowal
    (bara‘ah) from shirk and its people and displaying enmity
    towards them.

    Our messenger (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) was undoubtedly


    commanded to follow him (‘alayhis-salam). He (ta‘ala) said,
    “Then We revealed to you to follow the millah of Ibrahim
    hanifa (i.e., turning away from shirk towards tawhid), and he
    was not from the mushrikin” (an-Nahl, 123). He (ta‘ala) also
    said, “Say: Indeed, my Lord has guided me to a straight path,
    an upright din, the millah of Ibrahim hanifa, and he was not
    from the mushrikin” (al-An‘am, 161). And there is no doubt
    that we have been commanded to follow this millah; and
    whoever from among us has forsaken it has made a fool of
    himself. The two close friends [of Allah] traversed on this, and
    through it, attained the friendship [of Allah] as mentioned in
    the sahih of Muslim (rahimahullah), when he (sallallahu
    ‘alayhi wa alihi wa sallam) said, “Verily, Allah has taken me as
    a close friend (khalil) as He took Ibrahim as a
    khalil.”
    Thus the millah of Ibrahim is the millah of our prophet (sallallahu
    ‘alayhi wa alihi wa sallam); and it is our millah, as well. It is the
    example for our prophet and the example for us, just as He (ta‘ala)
    said, “There has been for you an excellent example in Ibrahim and
    those with him, when they said to their people, ‘Indeed, we are
    disassociated from you and from whatever you worship other than
    Allah. We reject you, and there has appeared between us and you
    enmity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone’ ”
    (al-Mumtahanah, 4)

    And so it is clear from what preceded the millah of Ibrahim


    (‘alayhis-salam) is bara‘ah from shirk and its people, separating
    from them and cutting off ties. Islam did not emerge triumphant
    except by applying this aspect. And it is the distinguisher for those
    on Earth. “Muhammad split apart the people,” al-Bukhari mentions
    in the chapter “Holding Fast to the Kitab and Sunnah,” taken from
    the long hadith of Jabir (radiyallahu ‘anhu),
    Similarly, in relation to the seeing [of Allah in the Hereafter], al-
    Bukhari reports from Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri (radiyallahu ‘anhu), in the
    section on the tafsir of surah an-Nisa, that when they come to their
    Lord (tabaraka wa ta‘ala) on the Day of Resurrection and He says,
    “Every community will follow that which they worshiped.” They will
    reply, “O Lord! We separated from the people in the dunya while
    we were poor and in need of them and did not befriend them.” Thus
    they separated from them in spite of them being poor and their
    need for them. And they did not befriend them so as to enrich
    themselves - like the situation of those who claim Islam today.

    And this was the understanding of As‘ad ibn Zurarah (radiyallahu


    ‘anhu) towards the bay‘ah, when he said, “Take it easy people of
    Yathrib! Concluding this today means separation from the Arabs
    and the killing of your best men and the striking of swords. So if
    you are a people who can bear patiently with that, then take it, and
    your reward is on Allah. But if you fear for yourselves, leave it now
    and you will have more of an excuse in front of Allah” (reported by
    Ahmad and al-Bayhaqi; ibn Kathir said, ‘And this isnad is jayyid on
    the condition of Muslim’ [As-Sirah, vol. 2, p. 194]; and al-Hafidh in
    Al-Fath considered this story hasan while mentioning the slight
    differences in its wording)
    Thus whoever wants the fulfillment of the din of Muhammad
    (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa alihi wa sallam) and to support it today, let
    him proceed on what they proceeded upon. “But if you fear for
    yourselves,” As‘ad said in the hadith itself, “leave it now and you
    will have more of an excuse in front of Allah” (‘azza wa jall).

    So take it with its conditions - ya akhi - white and pure as the


    Companions (radiyallahu‘anhum) of Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alayhi
    wa alilhi wa sallam) took it. For indeed they were given Paradise on
    that, and He (‘azza wa jall) said about them, “From among the
    believers are men, truthful to what they pledged with Allah. And so
    from them are those who fulfilled their vow by death, and some
    remain waiting - and they never altered or changed in the least” (al-
    Ahzab, 23)

    As for the condition of those where the matter has confounded


    them - either deliberately or ignorantly - we present for you their
    actions and statements to make plain for you their reality
    One group among them asserts that the establishment and base of
    the din lies in combating the grave-worshipers, displaying enmity
    towards them, warning from them and combating the Sufis and
    people of bida’. Another group asserts the same as the first but
    adds on it [combating] the conception of extreme blind following of
    a school of thought,calling to defend the hadith and filtering out
    what entered into it; and that is the wheremost of their zeal is. A
    third became obsessed with communism and refuting it and
    affirming the existence of the Creator and striving to gain important
    governmental positions with the intention to seize rule. There are
    other groups, but there is no need to delve into them as they are
    founded on ignorance.

    Thus we say: In relation to the first and second group, along with
    those like them, what appears to us of their condition is that that
    which they fulfill is correct with no rebuke. However, since they
    have undertaken to confront the powerless while remaining silent
    on the part of the authorities in what they are involved in regarding
    the demolition of the din of Allah, the path they have traversed is
    what misguided those before them.
    As he (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa alihi wa sallam) explained in the hadith reported by al-
    Bukhari in the “Kitab al-Hudud” from ‘Aishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) that Quraysh
    became concerned about a Makhzumi woman who stole. They said, “Who will go
    speak to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)? Who but Usamah,
    the beloved of the Messenger of Allah, dares to speak with him!” So he went and
    spoke with the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).

    “Are you intervening in the ruling of Allah!” he said to him. He then stood and
    spoke, “O people! Indeed those before you were led astray due to when a
    nobleman from among them would steal, they would leave him alone; but when
    someone weak from among them would steal, they would implement the ruling on
    him. By Allah, if Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad, were to steal, Muhammad
    would have her hand cut.”

    Thus establishing the ruling on the weak is a right of Allah. It is justice, the doer of
    which, and the one who emphatically speaks concerning it, cannot be criticized for.
    But misguidance enters when one implements the ruling on the weak and fails to
    implement it on the strong. Hence these two groups, and those like them, if those
    who hold no authority err, they are stern and hostile towards them. Yet if those with
    authority whom they live under, fear, and hope in, err, they come up with excuses
    for them; and if they do not find any excuse, they adjure excuses for themselves:
    that they are weak and lack the ability to make a change. Thus it is plain to you the
    nature in which these two groups conform with each other in implementing the right
    on the weak and remaining silent over the strong. Their claim to adhering to the
    millah of Ibrahim is indeed questionable, as you for sure know he (‘alayhis-salam)
    in no case traversed their path in relation to declaration and rejection.
    Being silent over some [matters] and declaring others opposes the
    millah of Ibrahim, who did not fear for himself or his wealth, and it
    opposes the guidance of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi
    wa alihi wa sallam) in his da’wah. As his Lord commanded him
    with His statement: “So declare what you have been commanded,
    and turn away from the mushrikin” (al-Hijr, 94)

    Ibrahim (‘alayhis-salam) never said as those today say: “We fear


    fitnah!” “Indeed, they are already in fitnah” (at-Tawbah, 49).
    Instead, he was grabbed and hurled in the fire; he remained
    steadfast and did not retreat nor bootlick.

    And here is the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa alihi wa


    sallam). Abu Jahl and his people were hostile and fought him,but
    that did not prevent him from declaring the truth and expressing
    explicit enmity towards them. Likewise were the Companions
    (radiyallahu ‘anhum). We see how they left their homes and lands
    and spent their wealth. And if they understood the din like how
    those in our time understand it, they would have lived with Abu Jahl
    and his supporters like the callers today live with the supporters of
    Abu Jahl
    The Messenger was not sent as a pacifist to the enemies of the
    din; he was sent to “split apart the people.” Allah sent him “to test
    him and test others through him.” He sent him “to burn Quraysh.”
    He feared that Quraysh would kill him but his Lord did not settle
    him on this fear; instead, He commanded that he drive them out as
    they drove him out (reportedby Muslim in his sahih, the chapter of
    “The Attributes By Which One Knows the People of Paradise and
    the People of the Fire in the Dunya”).

    We say to the callers today: You know your declaration, your


    enmity, your dissociation from the enemies of the din will lead to
    their enmity towards you and their driving you away - and this is the
    millah of Ibrahim (‘alayhis-salam). And it is that which Waraqah ibn
    Nawfal (radiyallahu ‘anhu) understood when he said, “I wish I could
    be alive when your people drive you out.”

    “Will they drive me out?” he (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) replied.


    “Yes,” Waraqah said in affirmation. “No man has come with the like
    of what has come to you except that he was treated with hostility”
    (related by al-Bukhari).

    [ END OF JUHYMAN (RAHIMAULLAH) WORDS]


    THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN FOR YOU AN EXCELLENT PATTERN IN ABRAHAM AND
    THOSE WITH HIM, WHEN THEY SAID TO THEIR PEOPLE, "INDEED, WE ARE
    DISASSOCIATED FROM YOU AND FROM WHATEVER YOU WORSHIP OTHER THAN
    ALLAH . WE HAVE DENIED YOU, AND THERE HAS APPEARED BETWEEN US AND YOU
    ANIMOSITY AND HATRED FOREVER UNTIL YOU BELIEVE IN ALLAH ALONE"
