Shaykh al-Islām Zāhid al-Kawtharī al-Ḥanafī al-Māturīdī:

"As for the competent scholars who are silent in lieu of aiding the truth during such catastrophes (i.e., secularism), they are nothing but dumb devils appearing to assist the apostates".

[Maqālāt al-Imām al-Kawtharī, 331]

Note:

This is about those SILENT and refusing to address the kufr ideologies of secularism, nation-state, nationalism, et

Imagined what he would say to describe the zindiq murtaddin neo-Azharis cosplaying as "traditional Ashari madhhabi sufi scholars" lying about Islamic beliefs and rulings while sitting in istikhbarati conferences about "moderation" and against "extremism".

Actually, we don't need to imagine, we know he clearly takfired those who support secularism and twist Islamic rulings to support tawaghit apostate rulers.

Extremely relevant given the recent events that have taken place on X/Twitter regarding the positions found in our tradition.

They want you to disregard the tradition. They’ve been socially engineering your worldview, and then using that to push this “reinterpretation” psy-op.

Anthropological Zoomorphism of Women by Hujjah al-Islam Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali

He says:

Know that women are of ten types, and each type resembles a certain animal in character:

- The 1st resembles a pig: Her habit is to do nothing but eat, fill her belly, and break vessels. She does not reflect on death or punishment, does not attend to raising or educating children, nor to their cleanliness, nor even to her own cleanliness. She wears dirty clothes and emits a foul odor.

- The 2nd resembles a monkey: Her ambition lies in wearing bright clothes yellow, red, green and adorning herself with jewels, gold and silver.She boasts over her peers and exalts her status in her husband’s eyes, though her reality may contradict that.

- The 3rd resembles a dog: If her husband speaks to her, she snaps at him, quarrels with him and barks like a dog. But if she sees his purse filled with gold and silver and the house stocked with food, she honors him and draws close to him. But if the situation is otherwise, she growls in his face like a dog, insults him, demeans his lineage, and rebukes his poverty and she does not stop complaining the entire day.

- The 4th is like a snake: She speaks softly to her husband but harbors malice within. She is like the snake, whose touch is soft but whose sting is deadly.

- The 5th resembles a mule: She is stubborn like a mule that stops on a bridge no matter how much you beat her, she does not move. She is argumentative, insistent, self-opinionated and impressed with herself.

- The 6th is like a scorpion: She goes around to neighbors’ homes carrying tales, slandering, whispering, and eavesdropping on their conversations. Then spreading them causing enmity, quarrels, and strife among them like a scorpion.

- The 7th resembles a mouse: She is the thieving woman, who sneaks her husband’s money and hides it, perhaps even in the neighbors’ houses.

- The 8th is like a bird: She never rests, always fluttering about during the day. She says to her husband “Where are you going? Surely you no longer love me. You must prefer someone else. You are neither honest nor kind to me.”

- The 9th resembles a fox: She drives her husband out of the house, eats (his food), sleeps, and feigns illness. When her husband returns, she says, “You left me home alone and sick.”

- The 10th is like a sheep: She is the blessed and merciful one like the sheep, all of whose being is benefit and blessing. She is the righteous woman, of great benefit to her husband, her family, her neighbors, and her household and she is obedient to her Lord.

Nowadays, it makes little difference how pious (you think) a woman is, because she’s not the one actually raising your kids.

With both parents working, kids are raised by the J€wish daycare system (society, the internet, and modern public schools).

Because Muslims have been conditioned to see “human rights violations” as the most unforgivable sin instead of shirk and kufr. This is still theologically problematic.

Shaykh al-Islām Muṣṭafā Ṣabrī states:

"Amongst the people are those who agree with us, thus, do not permit isolating the religion from the state, though they empower Muslim governments with complete freedom in law-making.
They claim that there are no regulations they legislate except Islām comprises it since the religion is a universal eternal religion. This is the view of Ustādh Farīd Wajdī, the one who does not deem any issue negating the religion of Islām from the perpetrations of Muṣṭafā Kamāl.

This view is worse than isolating the religion from the state itself, since it is isolating the religion from the state whilst also negating its isolation.
Therefore, it comprises isolation & deception.
It is abolishing Islām with the name of Islām."

[Mawqif al-'Aql, 4/306]

Shaykh Muḥammad Shafīʿ al-ʿUthmānī (raḥimahullāh) said in Jawāhir al-Fiqh:

> “The fundamental principle is that hatred of the disbelievers, of disbelief itself, and the open display of opposition to them are among the core objectives of Islām. Following the disbelievers, forming alliances with them, establishing cordial relations, and imitating them are all explicitly prohibited and impermissible under any circumstances.

As for reconciliation and cooperation with them in work-related matters, this is permissible without hesitation—on the condition that authority remains with Islamic governance. Likewise, engaging in rental or trade transactions between Muslims and disbelievers is also permitted.

However, mixing and affiliating with disbelievers beyond the aforementioned cases is ḥarām (forbidden) and prohibited.”

Musnid al-Hind, Shāh Walīyullāh al-Dehlawī al-Ḥanafī al-Ash'arī:

"A woman ought to not leave the house except due to a necessity, whereby she cannot find any other alternative but to leave. He ﷺ stated: A woman is 'awrah. When she leaves the home, shayṭān seeks to tempt her."

[Ḥujjahtullāh al-Bālighah]

Mujaddid Alf-i Thani ash-Shaykh Ahmad as-Sirhindi al-Hanafi al-Maturidi al-Naqshbandi RA on the negative spiritual influence of friendship with disbelievers

A civilisation not wanting children is a civilisation aware of not having anything to transmit to its descendants.

Westerners themselves are aware of their civilisational collapse, while the vast majority of Muslims are still affected by the cargo-cult irrational awe for the Mighty West (at multiple uncountable levels) that is at the root of the biggest part of our issues.

Mufti Zameelur Rahman:

All that is required for da‘wah to reach a person is that they have heard via several channels of the name of Muḥammad, that he claimed and really believed himself to be a Prophet and is said to have produced miracles. Once this message has reached them, they are dutybound to investigate. If they ignore the impulse to investigate, or due to worldly attachments no impulse to investigate even arises in them, and therefore do not believe based on ignorance, they are kāfir. A large portion of *today’s* westerners fall into this category.

Just a basic message has to reach them: Muḥammad, he claimed and really believed himself to be a prophet, he has miracles - that's it. Most educated westerners, I believe, have received this message. That is sufficient for them to be mukallaf.

The exception Imām al-Ghazālī refers to, apart from those who never heard the name Muḥammad at all, are those who were raised believing that “Muḥammad” was not a serious figure but someone who falsely claimed prophethood (e.g. for fame or for a personal agenda). Meaning, this was all they were ever told and never heard a basic outline of the truth because of being distant from Muslim societies.

But, if someone hears both the distorted version and also a basic outline of the truth (that Muḥammad was a serious figure who sincerely claimed prophethood and was said to have performed miracles), then they are mukallaf to investigate.

Shaikh Yusuf al-Nabhani says in the conclusion of his book, arba'oon hadeethan fee madh al sunnah wa tham al bid'ah: "Know that following these 4 madhabs- which the ummah unanimously accepts from the era of their founders until today and until Allah wishes- falls under following the Quran and sunnah, as they [the madhabs] are explanations for them. And when ever the word ahlus sunnah wal jama'h is used, for over 1000 years until today it is understood from it that the adherants of the 4 madhabs are meant. So whoever leaves the boundaries of the madhabs they do not consider him a part of ahlus sunnah wal jama'h. And only deviants and those who serve their desires ever left its boundaries throughout history until our times today.
And I know that there has never been a sect of innovation and misguidance even from the misguided sects of the past, who caused more harm to Islam and the Muslims than the sect of Muhammad Abduh al Misri and Jamal al Din al Afghani who emerged in these recent times. Their followers have increased in the lands of Shaam and Egypt. These two were the shaytan's greatest allies in misguiding ignorant Muslims, and in sowing disunity within the believers, may Allah not grant them a good reward on behalf of Islam and Muslims. And the two have a group of misguidance, who have rejected the 4 madhabs following the example of those two (Abduh and Afghani). Every single one of them believes of himself that he can extract rulings from the Quran and Sunnah independently, and that there is no difference between them and the mujtahid Imams. And that thought is only due to a deficiency in intellect and in religious practice. If that person was of sound mind he would have followed the path of the believers.
And this group named themselves the reformers of the religion of Islam, when in reality they are from the most misguided of the laity and the most harmful of insects. These people are either unmindful to the point that they are considered insane, or they are zanadiqah who have [in reality] left Islam. They neither carry out any acts of obedience [to Allah], nor do they adhere to any religion. Or then they are from the ignorant evil doers. Those who are reckless and insolent. They speak pretentiously while making these false claims [of reform and ijtihad etc], and they act upon the rulings of Islam arbitrarily to serve their corrupt objectives. They place their impure selves in the place of the mujtahid Imams. Some of these [followers of Abduh and Afghani] are from amongst the incapable students, while others have never even smelt the fragrance of ilm or deen. Despite this they make people claim ijtihad, and they make them reject the 4 madhabs. If one of them is a teacher in a madressa, he will spread that [ideology] to the minds of the poor students so that many of the students who graduate from their madressas reject the 4 madhabs and their followers from amongst the Muslims.
These people are in reality not adherants to the sharia'h at all, as they leave Salah Zakah Hajj and Sawm, and any other rulings that may be derived from those rulings.
Therefore we ask Allah for aafiyah and for a good ending.
