False Accusations Against the Hanaabilah hanaabilah.co m http://www.hanaabilah.com/2012/07/false-accusations-against-hanaabilah.html False Accusations Against the Hanaabilah I decided to write this af ter being f alsely accused of kuf r by not f ollowing Imam Ahmad in the "correct way", In which case the person posted this Article to show what Imam Ahmad "Really" believed. I realize the article is old, however, the age of it doesn't prevent people f rom relying on it, and even though I didn't search to f ind if it was ever answered, Insha'a Allah what I wrote here will benef it people in order to expose the mistakes the Original author presented as the truth. From here on out the Color RED in Italic f ont will symbolize the Original Authors words. Nuh Ha Mim Keller Said: ""Regarding the question of whether Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 241/855) was an anthropomorphist, this is something that has been asked since early times, particularly since someone forged an anthropormorphic tract called Kitab al-sunna [The book of the sunna] and put the name of Imam Ahmad’s son Abdullah (d. 290/903) on it.I looked this book over with our teacher in hadith, Sheikh Shu‘ayb al-Arna’ut, who had examined it one day, and said that at least 50 percent of the hadiths in it are weak or outright forgeries. He was dismayed how Muhammad al-Qahtani, the editor and commentator, could have been given a Ph.d. in Islamic faith (‘aqida) from Umm al-Qura University in Saudi Arabia for readying for publication a work as sadly wanting in authenticity as this. Ostensibly a "hadith" work, it contains some of the most hard-core anthropomorphism found anywhere....."" To proclaim the work is f orged simply because someone disagrees with some of the content is incorrect, as is known this work is a work of Hadith and as was of ten done All of the sayings were combined and kept in order to preserve them, regardless of whether or not they were Saheeh or otherwise, simply by putting the hadith in the book doesn't make the Author not the Author, nor does it make the Author an anthropomorphist (As is claimed by Al-Kawthari) The f act of the matter is that many scholars had thought that this work was indeed the work of the Son of Imam Ahmad, Including: 1) Abi Ya'la Al-Hanbali (Born in 381 Hijri) 2) Al-Laalikaa'i (Died in 418 Hijri) 3) Al-Bayhaqi (384 – 458 H) 4) Ibn Al-Jawzi ( Died in 597 Hijri) 5) Ibn Taymiyyah (Died 728 Hijri) 6) Ibn Al-Qayyim (Died 751 Hijri) 7) Ibn Abi Izz (Died 792 Hijri) 8) Adh-Dhahabi (Died 748 Hijri) 9) Al-Kitaani (Born 1274 Hijri) Scans of the pages related to when and where the af orementioned scholars ascribed the book to Abdullah Bin Ahmad Bin Hanbal: __________________________________________ Nuh Ha Mim Keller Said: ""The real (‘aqida) of Imam Ahmad was very simple, and consisted, in the main, of accepting the words of the mutashabihat or ‘unapparent meanings’ of the Qur’an and hadith as they have come without saying how they are meant. His position is close to that of a number of other early scholars, who would not even countenance changing the Qur’anic order of the words or substituting words imagined to be synonyms. For them, the verse in Sura Taha, "The All-merciful is ‘established’ (istawa) upon the Throne" (Qur’an 20:5) Does not enable one to say that "Allah is ‘established’ upon Throne," or that "The All-merciful is upon the Throne" or anything else besides "The All-merciful is ‘established’ (istawa) upon the Throne." Full stop."" This is completely incorrect f rom multiple angles: 1) Allah says in 17:110: Say, "Call upon Allah or call upon the Most Merciful. Whichever [name] you call - to Him belong the best names." And do not recite [too] loudly in your prayer or [too] quietly but seek between that an [intermediate] way 2) His position isn’t close to not changing the word order in order to conf irm the meaning and this can be seen in two places. He conf irmed that Allah is everywhere with his knowledge, while still being above the throne. This does not come in that exact wording in the Quran. As seen in the f ollowing scan: He believed the Quran is the speech of Allah with Sound and Letters, again which didn’t come in that exact wording in the Quran. As seen in the f ollowing scan: 3) Imam Ahmad also stated that the verse “Laysa Kamithlihi Shay”-There is nothing like unto him- Was f rom the Mutaashaabih, does this mean there was no Apparent meaning f or this verse to him, so that he would say “It has come without knowing what it means? As seen in the f ollowing scan: 4) Imam Ahmad also said that he takes the ahadith that are related to seeing Allah and others like them upon there Apparent meanings, As seen in the f ollowing scan: __________________________________________ Nuh Ha Mim Keller Said: ""It should be appreciated how far this position is from understanding the mutashabihat or ‘unapparent in meaning,’ scriptural expressions about Allah as though they were meant literally (‘ala al-dhahir). The Hanbali Imam Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Khallal (311/923), who took his fiqh from Imam Ahmad’s students, relates in his al-Sunna[The sunna] through his chain of narrators from Hanbal [ibn Ishaq al-Shaybani] (d. 273/886), the son of the brother of Ahmad ibn Hanbal’s father, that Imam Ahmad was asked about the hadiths mentioning "Allah’s descending," "seeing Allah," and "placing His foot on hell"; and the like, and he replied: "We believe in them and consider them true, without ‘how’ and without ‘meaning’ (bi la kayfa wa la ma‘na) [emphasis mine]."" 1) In terms of what is and what isn’t Mutaashabihat this has been dealt with above when Imam Ahmad said the statement of Allah:“There is nothing unto like him (Allah)” was f rom them, the least that can be said concerning this issue is that since the time of the Salaf there has been dif f erent opinions about what is and what isn’t Mutashaabih of the ayat, that is why you f ind Ibn Abbas accusing the Khawaarij of using verses improperly and saying that were using Mutashaabih verses. 2 ) There is academic dishonesty when one presents only one version of something without at least acknowledging that other opinions are present. In f act, At-Tabari (224 – 310 AH) doesn't even make mention of this meaning f or "Mutaashabihaat" in his Taf seer. See: Taf seer At-Tabari 3:7 3) Without meaning has also been dealt with, by it being clear that Imam Ahmad as well as the Salaf have admitted that there is a meaning to the Sif aat, such as Withness “Ma’iyah” In which case they conf irm that Ma’iyah (withness) means with Allahs knowledge, and He is above The Throne. Likewise, Imam Ahmad was beaten and tortured because he rightf ully believed that the Qu’ran was the speech of Allah, uncreated, with sound and letters, this is what was understood f rom the Islamic texts, not something explicitly mentioned. As seen in the f ollowing scan, Imam Ahmad in speaking concerning the verses pertaining to the speech of Allah he said: "These verses are in a clear Arabic language, it doesn't require any explanation, it's clear All Praise be to Allah." 3) Alaa Dhaahirihi (Upon the Apparent Meaning) is the Madhab of Imam Ahmad, and the Madhab of the Hanaabilah in general as understood f rom his above text concerning the seeing of Allah, and as understood by the Sheikh Al-Hanaabilah Muwaf iq –u- Deen Ibn Qudaama Al-Maqdisi (Died 620 Hijri). As seen in the f ollowing scan: __________________________________________ Nuh Ha Mim Keller Said: ""And he said, when they asked him about Allah’s istiwa’ [translated above as established]: "He is ‘established’ upon the Throne (istawa ‘ala al-‘Arsh) how He wills and as He wills, without any limit or any description that be made by any describer (Kawthari, Daf‘ shubah al-tashbih. Cairo n.d. Reprint. Cairo: al-Maktaba al-Tawfiqiyya, 1396/1976, 28)."" 1) In order to properly represent the Aqeedah of Imam Ahmad (and the rest of the Salaf ) one would have to do a comprehensive research, and be truthf ul in that he would provide f ull detail of what he f ound if he intends f or his opinion to be made public concerning what they believed. In which case the issue of Allah having limits then this is something that the Salaf have conf irmed in some of their sayings, and in f act one scholar as represented below wrote an entire book on the topic. In which case, we can’t simply accept the statement of Ibn Al-Jawzi as the be all end all of the belief s of Imam Ahmad in this regard, especially when he himself was not Athari/Hanbali when it comes to most of the Attributes of Allah. As seen in the f ollowing scan, It’s reported that Ahmad Ibn Hanbal conf irmed f or Allah a “Hadd.”: 2) As will be mentioned later, there is actually no dif f erence between conf irming limit or Sitting and conf irming Rising and Descending, the Modality is still unknown, and to those who dislike to conf irm the later two, the f ormer two would be no dif f erent in that regard, to them they would both be incorrect to conf irm f or Allah.

Perbezaan metode berlaku ekoran daripada perbezaan persepsi terhadap dalil. Penggunaan dalil naqli dan dalil aqli secara seimbang menjadikan golongan Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah yang merupakan majoriti ulama Islam sebagai sumber autoriti akidah yang benar dan muktabar. Para ulama bersependapat bahawa hanya Asya‘irah, Maturidiyyah dan Athariyyah (Ahli Hadis dan Hanabilah Mufawwidah) sahaja yang terangkum dalam istilah Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah, tidak termasuk aliran- aliran yang lain. Kajian berbentuk kualitatif deskriptif ini memberi fokus secara khusus kepada keutuhan metodologi yang dipegang oleh mereka dengan tumpuan khas terhadap metodologi ilmuwan hadis dalam kalangan mereka.

    Spoerl / The Levantine Review Volume 2 Number 2 (Winter 2013) JIHAD1 AND JUST WAR Joseph Spoerl* Abstract This paper attempts to demonstrate that the differences between the Western and Islamic traditions on the ethics of warfare run far deeper than what traditional scholarship suggests. The present study focuses on three main areas: the sources of our knowledge of morality, the objectives of warfare, and the principle of non-combatant immunity. We shall see that these three topics are inter-connected, and also that understanding the classical Islamic law of war is essential to understanding the ideology and allure of contemporary Islamism. INTRODUCTION Many recent scholars of Islam have either downplayed or denied any differences between the Western just war tradition and Islam regarding the ethics of warfare, some of them asserting, for example, that Islam allows warfare only in self-defense, or that Islam prohibits any attacks on innocent noncombatants. Such authors include Karen Armstrong,2 John Esposito,3 John Kelsay,4 Sayyid Ahmed Khan,5 Mahmoud Shaltut,6 Seyyed Hossein 1 The term “jihad” can mean various types of struggle, but in the hadith collections and manuals of Islamic law, the primary meaning is armed struggle for Islam against unbelievers, a certain type of religiously sanctioned warfare. That is the sense in which it is used in this paper. On the meanings of “jihad,” see Ella Landau Tasseron, “Jihad,” in The Encyclopedia of the Quran, Vol. III (Leiden: Brill, 2001-6), 35-43. 2 Karen Armstrong, Muhammad: A Biography of the Prophet (New York: Harper Collins, 1992), 209. 3 John Esposito, Unholy War: Terror in the Name of Islam (New York: Oxford University Press, 2002), 34-5.

  • Mengenal Konsep Filsafat Ketuhan Dan Tasauf Ahmad Daudy
    P-ISSN: 2355-7885 E-ISSN: 2355-813X Vol. 6. No. 1 June 2019 Page: 1 - 1 4 MENGENAL KONSEP FILSAFAT KETUHAN DAN TASAUF AHMAD DAUDY Firdaus M. Yunus Fakultas Ushuluddin dan Filsafat UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh Emial: [email protected]) Abstract: Kajian mendalam terhadap filsafat ketuhanan dan tasauf tergolong kajian serius. Ahmad Daudy termasuk salah seorang yang mengkaji persoalan-persoalan tersebut secara serius. Tujuan penelitian ini ingin mengetahui konsep filsafat ketuhanan dan tasauf melalui karya tulis Ahmad Daudy. Sebagai penelitian kualitatif, pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui penelusuran kepustakaan guna menemukan data-data yang dibutuhkan untuk keperluan penelitian. Adapun hasil penelitian yang didapatkan, bahwa Ahmad Daudy dalam membahas konsep filsafat ketuhanan mendasarkan pemikirannya pada Alquran, pendapat filsuf, dan pendapat teolog Islam, hal ini sangat beralasan karena ada beberapa persoalan dan dianggap rumit untuk dijelaskan seperti hubungan antara sifat Allah dengan zat-Nya. Sehingga masalah ini tetap menjadi pokok sengketa yang sangat mendasar antara sesama umat Islam dalam upaya memahami zat dan sifat Tuhan. Menurut Ahmad Daudy, sekiranya umat Islam tidak mempertanyakan masalah ini dan bersikap tafwid dan tanzih menyerahkan hal itu kepada Allah Swt, seperti yang diperlihatkan oleh para ulama salaf terdahulu, maka perbedaan pendapat yang mengarah ke permusuhan sesama umat Islam tidak akan terjadi. Mengenai tasauf, Ahmad Daudy berpendapat, bahwa tasauf tidak dikenal dalam generasi awal Islam, tasauf datang pada umat Islam dengan jalan hidayah. Pada abad ke 8 dan 9 M tasauf mulai dinyatakan sebagai suatu sistem ajaran. Dan dalam perkembangannya menjadi sangat filosofis dan konseptual. Tauhid dalam tasauf sifatnya ontologis, sehingga dalam memahaminya memiliki tingkatan-tingkatan, yaitu antara yang dipahami orang awam dan orang sufi.

This paper describes the essential methodological principles of fiqh al- aqalliyat, and examines how scholars of fiqh al-aqalliyyat apply these principles to the unique issues faced by Muslim minorities. The legal opinions of minority fiqh scholars show that Muslim minorities can be both good Muslims and good citizens. This thesis also considers whether or not the juristic methodology and topics of fiqh al-aqalliyyat are in fact unique. The paper argues that indeed there are significant differences between fiqh al-aqalliyyat and traditional Sunni Islamic law. iv Table of Contents Introduction ..............................................................................................................1

    Jurnal al-Fath, Vol. 07, No. 1, (Januari-Juni) 2013 ISSN: 1978-2845 KAJIAN ULAMA SALAF DALAM MEMAHAMI AYAT – AYAT MUTASYABIHAT M. Sari & Sartika Dewi Dosen Fakultas Ushuluddin, Dakwah dan Adab IAIN „SMH“ Banten Abstrak Ulama Salaf tidak menggunakan ta'wil tafsili dalam memahami ayat-ayat mutasyabihat, mereka hanya memberlakukan metode tafwid dan taslim saja sebagai aplikasinya. Terlebih ketika mereka para teolog hanya mendukung pendapatnya saja, tanpa melihat data-data konkrit sebagaimana generasi awal telah mempraktekannya pada metode ta'wil tafsili. Metode ta'wil tafsili ini tidak begitu dominan seperti metode tafwid dan taslim yang pada aplikasinya tidak menyimpangkan makna. Oleh sebab itu ulama Salaf disamping menggunakan metode tafwid dan taslim juga mengunakan metode ta’wil tafsili. Kata Kunci: Ulama Salaf, Mutasyabihat Pendahuluan Perjalanan Islam sebagai risalah yang dibawa oleh Muhammad telah berlangsung lebih dari empat belas abad lamanya. Al-Qur'an sebagai rujukan utama dalam khazanah keislaman selalu dikaji oleh semua lapisan masyarakat untuk melahirkan pemahaman tentang Islam. Dari kajian-kajian tersebut melahirkan berbagai pemahanan yang tidak sedikit menimbulkan pertentangan sebagaimana yang terlihat dalam sejarah perjalanan umat Islam selama lebih dari empat belas abad lamanya. Umumnya umat Islam mengakui akan perbedaan pendapat. Bahkan mereka meyakini bahwa umat Islam akan terbagi dalam tujuh puluh tiga golongan.

  • 1 Contemporary Wahhabism Rebranded As Salafism
    FIl se peut q ue quelqu ’un d ise : FIl se peut q ue quelqu ’un d ise : Contemporary Wahhabism rebranded as Salafism: the issue of interpreting the Qur’anic verses and hadith on the Attributes of God and its significance Submitted by Namira NAHOUZA to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Arab and Islamic Studies, April 2009. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (signature) ......................................................................................... 1 ABSTRACT This research studies the theology of those Wahhabis who have now named themselves Salafis. For the purpose of the study, they are referred to as the ‘Wahhabis-self-named- Salafis’ (WSNS). The thesis starts with the observation that the WSNS are usually studied from a political perspective, much less frequently a theological one. Recent research has identified that the theological background of all the different factions of the WSNS is one and the same. This is true for the WSNS who advocate a peaceful way to achieve their goals, as well as those who do not. This thesis aims to explore some of the theological issues that unify these factions. This research demonstrates that, because the WSNS are opposed to the very concept of interpretation of the Qur’an and the hadith, especially when these texts deal with important theological issues such as the Attributes of God, they have developed a vision of Islamic history which is entirely different from the one which had traditionally been accepted by most Muslim scholars and Western academics.

  • HIST351-2.3.2-Sharia.Pdf
    Sharia 1 Sharia . šarīʿah, IPA: [ʃaˈriːʕa], "way" or "path") is the code of conduct or religious law of Islamﺷﺮﻳﻌﺔ :Sharīʿah (Arabic Most Muslims believe Sharia is derived from two primary sources of Islamic law: the precepts set forth in the Qur'an, and the example set by the Islamic Prophet Muhammad in the Sunnah. Fiqh jurisprudence interprets and extends the application of Sharia to questions not directly addressed in the primary sources by including secondary sources. These secondary sources usually include the consensus of the religious scholars embodied in ijma, and analogy from the Qur'an and Sunnah through qiyas. Shia jurists prefer to apply reasoning ('aql) rather than analogy in order to address difficult questions. Muslims believe Sharia is God's law, but they differ as to what exactly it entails.[1] Modernists, traditionalists and fundamentalists all hold different views of Sharia, as do adherents to different schools of Islamic thought and scholarship. Different countries and cultures have varying interpretations of Sharia as well. Sharia deals with many topics addressed by secular law, including crime, politics and economics, as well as personal matters such as sexuality, hygiene, diet, prayer, and fasting. Where it enjoys official status, Sharia is applied by Islamic judges, or qadis. The imam has varying responsibilities depending on the interpretation of Sharia; while the term is commonly used to refer to the leader of communal prayers, the imam may also be a scholar, religious leader, or political leader. The reintroduction of Sharia is a longstanding goal for Islamist movements in Muslim countries. Some Muslim minorities in Asia (e.g.

  • The Dispraise of Al-Hawaa
    From The Treasures of Ibnul Qayyim (1) A Chapter On The Dispraise of Al-Hawaa (Lowly Desire) By Imaam Ibnul Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah Appended With Warning The Muslims Against Deviant Creeds And Methodologies [The First Revised Edition] Prepared by Saleh As-Saleh 1 SunnahFollowers.Net All Praise is due to Allaah. We praise Him, and seek His help and forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allaah, Most High, from the evils of our own selves and from our wicked deeds. Whomever Allaah guides cannot be misguided, and whomever He leads astray cannot be guided. I testify that there is no true God worthy of being worshipped except Allaah, alone, without partner or associate. I further testify that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger ( ).1 May Allaah's salaah and salaam also be granted to the Prophet's pure family and to all of his noble companions. ___________________________________________________________________ (Sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam): The salaah and salaam of Allaah be upon His Prophet Muhammad. The salaah of Allaah upon Prophet Muhammad is His Praise of the Prophet before the angels who are close to (but below) Allaah, the Most High, who istawaa (ascended) upon His 'arsh (Throne), which is above the seven heavens, in a manner that suits His Majesty. The angels also praise the Prophet (41). The salaam is Allaah's safeguarding of the Prophet ( ) from deficiencies and any kind of evil, and the protection of the Message with which he was entrusted. When the Muslim says (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam), he invokes Allaah to grant His Praise and Security to Prophet Muhammad and the protection of the Message of Islaam which was revealed to him ( ).
