Ahlus Sunnah & The

Murji’ah Regarding TheMaj0r Kufr Of The One WhoBelieves In Kufr, DesiresKufr, Desires To Leave

Islam, Desires To CommitKufr Through His Action &Believes In A Statement Of

Kufr He Uttered

By Abdul Kareem Ibn Ozzie



This article has been written in order to refute the Murji’ah creed and because Ahlus Sunnah of today (the salafis) are accused by somegroups of Muslims as being the Neo Murjiah (the Murji’ah of thisera).

Therefore this article should inshallah help to provide evidence that Ahlus Sunnah of today are free from the Murji’ah creed and opposedto it inshallah.

The Murji’ah (or those that follow their aqeedah in this issue) claimmajor kufr can only occur if a Muslim

• believes in kufr,

• desires kufr,• desires to leave Islam,• desires to commit kufr through his action,• believes in a statement of kufr he uttered• istihlaal of action or statement and istihlaal of belief in

the heart (i.e. to declare an action or a statement to be lawful(halaal) as a matter of belief in the heart) though it is haraam inthe shariah

•

thakdhib (Falsification) disbelieving with the tongue andheart together and• juhood (Denial) which is disbelieving by the tongue but not

with the heart (i.e. a person knows Islam is the truth so hetherefore he believes in Islam as the true and only religion tofollow in his heart however whenever he moves his tongue(speaks) about Islam he claims it is a false man made religion which should not be followed. So he believes in his heart but

disbelieves by his tongue (i.e. his speech)) (Often manyscholars, students of knowledge and daaeeis (not all)refer to juhood and thakdhib as juhood only, but bythis they mean disbelieving with the tongue and heart together and not disbelieving by the tongue but not with the heart as I have stated above)



In this article the Murjiah belief of major kufr only through a Muslim

• believing in kufr,• desiring kufr,• desiring to leave Islam,• desiring to commit kufr through his action,•

Or believing in the statement of kufr he uttered will belooked in to.

This Murji’ah belief is incorrect and is not held by Ahlus Sunnah of the past or present, the reason this belief is incorrect because majorkufr can occur if a Muslim believes in kufr or desires kufr,desires to leave Islam, desires to commit kufr through hisaction or believes in the statement of kufr he uttered,

however it major kufr can also occur with out any of the above.

Ahlus Sunnah hold if major kufr can only occur in the way theMurjiah have claimed above this belief necessitates that the one whodoes an action of major kufr if he did not believe in kufr or desirekufr, desire to leave Islam, desires to commit kufr throughhis action or does not believe in the statement of kufr he

uttered (if he uttered one) does not become a kaafir and thiincorrect. Because when a Muslim does an action willingly (fromhis own free choice (i.e. was not forced)) and knowingly (i.e.desiring and intend to perform this action purposefully) which is anaction of major kufr in and of itself this necessitates takfir (todeclare a Muslim a kaafir) of the individual involved based on theconditions of takfir and looking into the barriers to takfir.

Ibn Hajr said in Fath ul-Baree (12/373): “Amongst the Muslims arethose who exit the religion without desiring (qasd) to leave thereligion and without choosing a religion other than that of Islaam.”

Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah in as-Saarim al-Maslool(p.178) said: “And in essence, whoever says or commits that which is



disbelief, kufr, disbelieves on account of it, even if he did not desire(lam yaqsud) to become a disbeliever (by the act)…”

Based on the above it is clear on this issue that Ahlus Sunnah and theMurji’ah differ greatly. Inshallah below I will give three examples oneof Iblis and his kufr, some who mocks the religion and a Muslim whomakes duaa to the dead and hopefully these examples should makeapparent how incorrect the Murji’ah view is.

In the Murji’ahs corrupted understanding Iblis (shaytan) when he didnot prostrate to Prophet Adam willingly (from his own freechoice (i.e. was not forced)) and knowingly (i.e. desiringand intend to perform this action purposefully) like Allah had

commanded him. But as he Iblis did not do it out of belief in kufor desire for kufr, the desire to leave Islam or desire tocommit kufr through his action according to their misguidedunderstanding he Iblis would be a believer with complete iman, because he disobeyed Allahs command which was obligatory uponhim only because he refused and became arrogant.

Whereas Ahlus Sunnah state that Iblis (shaytan) when he did notprostrate to Prophet Adam willingly (from his own free choice(i.e. was not forced)) and knowingly (i.e. desiring andintend to perform this action purposefully) like Allah hadcommanded him he committed an action of major kufr. Hecommitted the kufr of I’nadh, Iba wa Istikbar (Obstinacy,Refusal and Pride) ( which is absence of submission to the truthout of hatred, rejection and pride while believing with the heart and

attesting to it with the tongue). However even though he committedan action of major kufr because this action was kufr in and of its self,he did not believe in kufr, desire kufr, the desire to leaveIslam or desire to commit kufr through his action.

So from the above example of Iblis it is clear that Ahlus Sunnah do believe that major kufr can happen with or without believing in



kufr, desiring kufr, desiring to leave Islam, desiring tocommit kufr through an action or believing in a statementof kufr uttered.

However if a person does an action of major kufr this person becomea kaafir but only if he does it willingly (from his own free choice (i.e was not forced)) and knowingly (i.e. desiring and intend to performthis action purposefully), the preventive factors of takfir have beenlooked into by a scholar of Ahlus Sunnah and the have a consensus(ijmah) on this persons kufr. If know of the above are fulfilled thenperson remains a Muslim.
