SAFEGUARD YOUR IMAAN (4)
The following is shared by Maktabah Aaishah:
SAFETY TIPS
1. Never visit the ‘prayer rooms’ of the Shi’as and Qadiyanis. Salaah performed behind a Shi’a or Qadiyani is not accepted. In fact, if despite being aware of their heretic beliefs one was to perform Salaah behind them, this would put one’s Imaan in serious question. Therefore exercise great caution and be wary!
2. Do not accept their handouts. On account of ignorance and poverty primarily, people readily accept handouts and financial aid and are in this way gradually roped into the ploys of the Shi’as and Qadiyanis. Local Imaams throughout the country have a duty to protect their congregations. Let us not sell our Imaan for the petty gains of this temporary world.
3. Do not watch television programs nor listen to recordings wherein the beliefs and other religious matter of the Shi’as and Qadiyanis are aired and propagated. One may be easily misled, even more so considering the deceptive approach they adopt.
An Urdu saying translated goes as following:
‘People are easily fooled ‘All you need is a clever manipulator’]
4. Do not befriend Shi’as and Qadiyanis as this may eventually lead to the inevitable. The Noble Qur’an declares:
The believers should not take the Kaafiroon as (close) friends instead of (in place of fellow) Mu’mineen. Whoever does so has no connection with Allah (Mu’mineen may not befriend the Kaafiroon) unless you (urgently) need to safeguard (yourselves) from them. Allah warns you (to beware) of Himself (His punishment) (Mu’mineen should therefore place their love, confidence and reliance in Him alone). To Allah is the return. (Surah Al-Imran 28)
O you who have Imaan! Do not take the Jews and Christians as friends (confidants). They (all Kuffaar) are only the friends of each other (and cannot be your friends). Whoever of you befriends them, then he is surely from among them (because all the kuffaar are one community). Verily Allah does not guide a nation of wrong doers (who befriend the kuffaar). (Surah Maaida, Aayat 51)
5. Do not invite them nor accept their invitations. Do not partake of food with them. Remember! If we remain adamant on associating and worse still, eating their food, we are inviting the wrath of Allah and ruination in our lives. Understand well that meat cut by Shi’as and Qadiyanis is absolutely Haraam. We certainly have Halaal alternative food establishments to eat from. How daring that we sit with those who claim to be Muslims yet insult and declare our Sahabah and Ulama to be heretics!
6. Do not read the literature of the Qadiyanis and Shi’as. Do not accept nor collect these, let alone handing them out to others. If one has any such literature then he or she should immediately discard these. It has come to our notice that they are now publishing their kufr and filth in the English and Shona languages and spreading these. Be alert! Never touch their literature as you may be misled. Inform anyone you feel is ignorant and on the verge of falling into their ploys. Leave it to the Ulama to read their literature and respond. They also eagerly pay for scholarships for poor desperate students from less fortunate countries and send them to universities in Iran and other such centres with all amenities available and thereby impart all their Shi’a doctrines to these who later return to impart the same filth they learnt. Watch out for this!
Remember! Muslims are their true targets. This is why a concerted effort is being made on poor Muslims by taking advantage of their poverty and ignorance.
Therefore, hold on to the environment of the Masjid and join in the efforts of Deen as this will stand as protection for us.
These are a few tips that each Muslim must consider & implement
