Sectarianism and Sects - I


Sectarianism is negation of Islam, Quran and Hadith.


إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِندَ اللَّهِ الإِسْلَـمُ



English Translation:


The Religion before Allah is Islam [AL-E-IMRAN (THE FAMILY OF 'IMRAN, THE HOUSE OF 'IMRAN) Chapter 3 - Verse 19]


وَاعْتَصِمُواْ بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعاً وَلاَ تَفَرَّقُواْ


English Translation:

And hold fast, all of you together, to the cable of Allah, and do not separate. [AL-E-IMRAN (THE FAMILY OF 'IMRAN, THE HOUSE OF 'IMRAN) Chapter 3 - Verse 103]


وَلاَ تَكُونُواْ كَالَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُواْ وَاخْتَلَفُواْ مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَـتُ وَأُوْلَـئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ


English Translation:

And be ye not as those who separated and disputed after the clear proofs had come unto them. For such there is an awful doom, [AL-E-IMRAN (THE FAMILY OF 'IMRAN, THE HOUSE OF 'IMRAN) Chapter 3 - Verse 105]


وَأَطِيعُواْ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلاَ تَنَـزَعُواْ فَتَفْشَلُواْ وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ وَاصْبِرُواْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّـبِرِينَ


English Translation:


And obey Allah and His messenger, and dispute not one with another lest ye falter and your strength depart from you; but be steadfast! Lo! Allah is with the steadfast. [AL-ANFAL (SPOILS OF WAR, BOOTY) Chapter 8 - Verse 46]



وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى شِيَعِ الاٌّوَّلِينَ - وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلاَّ كَانُواْ بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ



English Translation:


We verily sent (messengers) before thee among the factions of the men of old. And never came there unto them a messenger but they did mock him. [AL-HIJR (AL-HIJR, STONELAND, ROCK CITY) Chapter 15 - Verse 10 and 11]


قُلْ هُوَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى أَن يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَاباً مِّن فَوْقِكُمْ أَوْ مِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعاً وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ انْظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ الاٌّيَـتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَفْقَهُونَ



English Translation:


Say: He is able to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet, or to bewilder you with dissension and make you taste the tyranny one of another. See how We display the revelations so that they may understand. [AL-ANAAM (CATTLE, LIVESTOCK) Chapter 6 Verse 65]


إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلاَ فِى الاٌّرْضِ
َجَعَلَ أَهْلَهَا شِيَعاً


English Translation:


Lo! Pharaoh exalted himself in the earth and made its people castes. [AL-QASAS (THE STORY, STORIES) Chapter 28 - Verse 4]


مُنِيبِينَ إِلَيْهِ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَأَقِيمُواْ الصَّلوةَ وَلاَ تَكُونُواْ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ - مِنَ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُواْ دِينَهُمْ وَكَانُواْ شِيَعاً كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ


English Translation:

Turning unto Him (only); and be careful of your duty unto Him and establish worship, and be not of those who ascribe partners (unto Him); Of those who split up their religion and became schismatics, each sect exulting in its tenets. [AL-ROOM (THE ROMANS, THE BYZANTINES) Chapter 30 - Verse 31 and 32]


إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُواْ دِينَهُمْ وَكَانُواْ شِيَعًا لَّسْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِى شَىْءٍ إِنَّمَآ أَمْرُهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْعَلُونَ


English Translation:

Lo! As for those who sunder their religion and become schismatics, no concern at all hast thou with them. Their case will go to Allah, Who then will tell them what they used to do. [AL-ANAAM (CATTLE, LIVESTOCK) Chapter 6 - Verse 159]


Ahle Sunnah Wal Jama'h

[Hanafi, Maliki, Shafa'i, and Hanbali]


Despite some very minor disputes there are many Sub-Groups in these 4 groups like Wahabis {Sub-Groups Ahle-Hadith, Ghurba Ahle Hadith, Non-Conformist, Hizb Ullah, Jamat-ul-Muslemeen} Deobandi {Jamiat-e-Ulma-e-Islam (divided in groups), Jamat-e-Islami, Tableeghi Jamat of Raiwind}, Barelvis {Jamiat-e-Ulmai Pakistan, Sunni Tehreek, Dawat-e-Ilami, and other spiritual factions who own Shrines scatterd all over the Muslim World particularly Sub-Continent. For the sake of Power Politics these Clerics join hands with each other to create trouble for any elected government but normally their sub-groups or bodies create sectarian frenzy in the country as we have been witnessing it from the days of General Zia ul Haq.

صحيح مسلم بشرح النووي

‏قوله : ( ماء يدعى خما بين مكة والمدينة ) ‏
‏هو بضم الخاء المعجمة وتشديد الميم , وهو اسم لغيضة على ثلاثة أميال من الحسنة , عندها غدير مشهور يضاف إلى الغيضة فيقال : غدير خم . ‏

‏قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ( وأنا تارك فيكم ثقلين فذكر كتاب الله , وأهل بيته ) ‏
‏قال العلماء : سميا ثقلين لعظمهما وكبير شأنهما , وقيل : لثقل العمل بهما . ‏

‏قوله : ( ولكن أهل بيته من حرم الصدقة ) ‏
‏هو بضم الحاء وتخفيف الراء , والمراد بالصدقة الزكاة , وهي حرام عندنا على بني هاشم وبني المطلب , وقال مالك : بنو هاشم فقط , وقيل : بنو قصي , وقيل : قريش كلها . ‏

‏قوله في الرواية الأخرى : ( فقلنا : من أهل بيته نساؤه قال : لا ) ‏
‏هذا دليل لإبطال قول من قال : هم قريش كلها ; فقد كان في نسائه قرشيات , وهن عائشة , وحفصة , وأم سلمة , وسودة , وأم حبيبة رضي الله عنهن وأما قوله في الرواية الأخرى : ( نساؤه من أهل بيته , ولكن أهل بيته من حرم الصدقة ) قال : وفي الرواية الأخرى : فقلنا : ( من أهل بيته نساؤه قال : لا ) فهاتان الروايتان ظاهرهما التناقض , والمعروف في معظم الروايات في غير مسلم أنه قال نساؤه لسن من أهل بيته , فتتأول الرواية الأولى على أن المراد أنهن من أهل بيته الذين يساكنون , ويعولهم , وأمر باحترامهم وإكرامهم , وسماهم ثقلا ووعظ في حقوقهم , وذكر , فنساؤه داخلات في هذا كله , ولا يدخلن فيمن حرم الصدقة , وقد أشار إلى هذا في الرواية الأولى بقوله : ( نساؤه من أهل بيته , ولكن أهل بيته من حرم الصدقة ) , فاتفقت الروايتان . ‏

‏قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ( كتاب الله عز وجل هو حبل الله ) ‏
‏قيل المراد بحبل الله عهده , وقيل : السبب الموصل إلى رضاه ورحمته , وقيل : هو نوره الذي يهدي به . ‏

‏قوله : ( المرأة تكون مع الرجل العصر من الدهر ) ‏
‏أي القطعة منه


English Translation:

Yazid b. Hayyan reported, I went along with Husain b. Sabra and 'Umar b. Muslim to Zaid b. Arqam and, as we sat by his side, Husain said to him: Zaid. you have been able to acquire a great virtue that you saw Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) listened to his talk, fought by his side in (different) battles, offered prayer behind me. Zaid, you have in fact earned a great virtue. Zaid, narrate to us what you heard from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). He said: I have grown old and have almost spent my age and I have forgotten some of the things which I remembered in connection with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), so accept whatever I narrate to you, and which I do not narrate do not compel me to do that. He then said: One day Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) stood up to deliver sermon at a watering place known as Khumm situated between Mecca and Medina. He praised Allah, extolled Him and delivered the sermon and. exhorted (us) and said: Now to our purpose. O people, I am a human being. I am about to receive a messenger (the angel of death) from my Lord and I, in response to Allah's call, (would bid good-bye to you), but I am leaving among you two weighty things: the one being the Book of Allah in which there is right guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it. He exhorted (us) (to hold fast) to the Book of Allah and then said: The second are the members of my household I remind you (of your duties) to the members of my family. He (Husain) said to Zaid: Who are the members of his household? Aren't his wives the members of his family? Thereupon he said: His wives are the members of his family (but here) the members of his family are those for whom acceptance of Zakat is forbidden. And he said: Who are they? Thereupon he said: 'Ali and the offspring of 'Ali, 'Aqil and the offspring of 'Aqil and the offspring of Ja'far and the offspring of 'Abbas. Husain said: These are those for whom the acceptance of Zakat is forbidden. Zaid said: Yes.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zaid b. Arqam through another chain of transmitters. [Muslim - Chapter - THE MERITS OF 'ALI B. ABI TALIB (ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH HIM) ]

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Hayyan but with this addition:" The Book of Allah contains right guidance, the light, and whoever adheres to it and holds it fast, he is upon right guidance and whosoever deviates from it goes astray. [Muslim Chapter - THE MERITS OF 'ALI B. ABI TALIB (ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH HIM)]


فضائل أهل بيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فضائل الصحابة صحيح مسلم

‏ ‏حدثنا ‏ ‏أبو بكر بن أبي شيبة ‏ ‏ومحمد بن عبد الله بن نمير ‏ ‏واللفظ ‏ ‏لأبي بكر ‏ ‏قالا حدثنا ‏ ‏محمد بن بشر ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏زكرياء ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏مصعب بن شيبة ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏صفية بنت شيبة ‏ ‏قالت قالت ‏ ‏عائشة ‏
‏خرج النبي ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏غداة ‏ ‏وعليه ‏ ‏مرط ‏ ‏مرحل ‏ ‏من شعر أسود فجاء ‏ ‏الحسن بن علي ‏ ‏فأدخله ثم جاء ‏ ‏الحسين ‏ ‏فدخل معه ثم جاءت ‏ ‏فاطمة ‏ ‏فأدخلها ثم جاء ‏ ‏علي ‏ ‏فأدخله ثم قال ‏

‏إنما يريد الله ليذهب عنكم ‏ ‏الرجس ‏ ‏أهل البيت ويطهركم تطهيرا ‏

صحيح مسلم بشرح النووي

‏قوله : ( وعليه مرط مرحل ) ‏
‏هو بالحاء المهملة . ونقل القاضي أنه وقع لبعض رواة كتاب مسلم بالحاء , ولبعضهم بالجيم . والمرحل بالحاء هو الموشى المنقوش عليه صور رحال الإبل , وبالجيم عليه صور المراجل وهي القدور . وأما المرط فبكسر الميم , وهو كساء , جمعه مروط , وسبق بيانه مرات . ‏

‏قوله تعالى : { إنما يريد الله ليذهب عنكم الرجس أهل البيت } ‏
‏قيل : هو الشك , وقيل العذاب , وقيل : الإثم . قال الأزهري : الرجس اسم لكل مستقذر من عمل




English Translation:

'A'isha reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) went out one norning wearing a striped cloak of the black camel's hair that there came Hasan b. 'Ali. He wrapped hitn under it, then came Husain and he wrapped him under it along with the other one (Hasan). Then came Fatima and he took her under it, then came 'Ali and he also took him under it and then said: Allah only desires to take away any uncleanliness from you, O people of the household, and purify you (thorough purifying) [Sahih Muslim]


Prophet Mohammad [PBUH] said, upon him blessings and peace: I have left among you two matters by holding fast to which, you shall never be misguided: the Book of Allah and the Sunna of His Prophet.


[Ibn `Abd al-Barr in al-Tamhid, Ibn Nasr al-Marwazi in al-Sunna, al-Hakim in his Mustadrak, al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan al-Kubra, Malik in his Muwatta, al-Daraqutni in his Sunan, Ibn Hazm in al-Ihkam, al-Suyuti declared it hasan in al-Jami` al-Saghir, al-Suyuti in Miftah al-Janna]


Prophet Mohammad [PBUH] said : "Indeed those from before you from the People of the Book divided into seventy-two groups. And, indeed, this group (Muslims) will divide into seventy-three. Seventy-two groups will be in the Hellfire and one of them will be in Paradise. And it is the Jamaa'ah (group)." [Musnad Ahmed Bin Hanbal]

The Messenger of Allaah said: "I counsel you to have Taqwaa of Allaah and to hear and obey, even if an Abyssinian slave were to command you. For, verily, whoever amongst you lives (to grown old), he will see many differences. So stick to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided khaleefahs. Cling tightly onto it and hold onto it with your molar teeth. And beware of newly invented matters. For, indeed, every newly invented matter is an innovation, and every innovation is a thing that leads astray, and everything that leads astray is in the Hellfire." [Abu Dawood]

And in another narration, he said: "Everyone of them in the Hellfire, except for one group that which I and my companions are upon." [Sunan At-Tirmidhee]

Ibn Mas'ood said: "The Messenger of Allaah drew a line for us and then said: 'This is the Straight Path of Allaah.' And he drew lines on the left and right of it, and then said: 'These are paths of which there is not one except that there is a devil upon it calling towards it.' Then he recited the statements of Allaah [And (He commandeth you, saying): This is My Straight path, so follow it. Follow no other ways, lest ye be parted from his way. This hath He ordained for you, that ye may ward off evil [Surat-ul-Ana' aam 6:153- The Cattle 1:153]. 'And verily, this is My Straight Path, so follow it, and do not follow (other) paths for they will separate you away from His path." [Musnad Ahmad and An-Nasaa'ee].

"I left upon you two things of which you will never go astray after them: The Book of Allaah and my Sunnah. They will never be separated until they return to me at the Haud (the Pond)." [Saheeh Al-Jaami']

The Saved Sects revives the Sunnah of the Messenger in their act of worship, behavior and lifestyles. And due to this, they become strangers among their own people, as the Prophet has informed us would happen with his words: "Indeed Islam began as something strange and it will return to being strange as it began. So Toobaa is for the strangers." And in one narration, he said: "So Toobaa is for the strangers those who correct others when the people have become corrupt." [Muslim]

"There will not cease to be a group from my ummah, dominant upon the truth. The ones who abandon them will not be able to harm them, until the decree of Allaah comes." [Muslim]

The Messenger of Allaah said: "There will not cease to be a group from my ummah dominant upon the truth. Those who abandon them will not be able to harm them until the Decree of Allah comes." [Muslim]
