4. Tafseer Surah Israa (Hibu Rahman Vs Hizbu Shaitaan [notes]

                                                            4.      TAFSEER SURAH ISRAA

Hizbu Rahmaan Vs Hizbu Shaitaan


13 May 2013 (Morning Dars)

When you look at this topic your common sense tells you that there is a battle taking place right now.

The battle is taking place between the two hizbs (parties): Hizbu Rahmaan (the party of Ar Rahman) and Hizbu Shaitaan (the party of Shaitaan)

The battle which is taking place is between truth and falsehood.

The battle between these two parties is a never ending battle.

وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَإِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ

And whosoever takes Allah, His Messenger, and those who have believed, as Protectors, then the party of Allah will be the victorious. [Al Ma’idah 5:56]

There are people who are dedicated to spreading the haq. They are Hizbu Rahmaan.

The Shiites call themselves hizb Allah (سبحانه وتعالىٰ). It is more appropriate for them to call themselves hizbu laat.

(Laat is an idol)

This is because their ideology takes them outside the fold of Islam.

They make takfeer on the sahabas and they claim that the Quran is corrupted.

They are currently helping Bashr al Asad with his massacre against the Sunnis of Syria.

No one hates Muslims like the Shiites do.

Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah () say: A section of my people will not cease fighting for the Truth and will prevail till the Day of Resurrection. He said: Jesus son of Mary would then descend and their (Muslims') commander would invite him to come and lead them in prayer, but he would say: No, some amongst you are commanders over some (amongst you). This is the honour from Allah for this Ummah. [Sahih Muslim, Book 1, Hadith 293]

This hadith tells you that there is a never ending battle between truth and falsehood and that there are two hizbs: hizbu Rahmaan and hizbu Shaitaan.

The battle between these two hizbs is a never ending battle because the battle will continue until the Day of Resurrection.

The evidence for the existence of hizbu shaitaan is 35:6.

إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَاتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوًّا ۚ إِنَّمَا يَدْعُو حِزْبَهُ لِيَكُونُوا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ

Surely, Shaitan (Satan) is an enemy to you, so take (treat) him as an enemy. He only invites his Hizb (followers) that they may become the dwellers of the blazing Fire. [Fatir 35:6]

Allah (سبحانه وتعالىٰ) spoke about hizbu shaitaan in 58:19

اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَأَنسَاهُمْ ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ حِزْبُ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ أَلَا إِنَّ حِزْبَ الشَّيْطَانِ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ

Shaitan (Satan) has overtaken them. So he has made them forget the remembrance of Allah. They are the party of Shaitan (Satan). Verily, it is the party of Shaitan (Satan) that will be the losers! [Al Mujadilah 58:19]

One of the characteristics of the party of Satan is that they don't remember Allah (سبحانه وتعالىٰ).

When hizbu shaitaan face the mujahideen on the battlefield they need drugs and alcohol to fight because they don't have the remembrance of Allah (سبحانه وتعالىٰ) in their heart.

Suicide is rife in the ranks of hizbu shaitaan because they don’t have dhikr Allah (سبحانه وتعالىٰ).

Only with dhikr Allah (سبحانه وتعالىٰ) will a person have tranquillity in their heart.

HOW DOES HIZB SHAYTAAN FIGHT THE TRUTH?

Hizbu Shaitaan has certain methods which they use to fight the haq.

The method comes in five different stages.   

STEP 1 - IGNORE YOU

They ignore you because they think that one day you will run out of words.

The kuffaar ignored the Prophet and said that one day the Prophet will run out of words.

Allah (سبحانه وتعالىٰ) answered the kuffaar on behalf of the Prophet in 18:109.

قُل لَّوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِّكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ قَبْلَ أَن تَنفَدَ كَلِمَاتُ رَبِّي وَلَوْ جِئْنَا بِمِثْلِهِ مَدَدًا

Say (O Muhammad to mankind). "If the sea were ink for (writing) the Words of my Lord, surely, the sea would be exhausted before the Words of my Lord would be finished, even if we brought (another sea) like it for its aid." [Al Kahf 18:109]

 STEP 2 - ASK YOU TO COMPROMISE

They do this when you have grown in numbers.

The kuffaar dangle a carrot in front of you.

They said to the Prophet that they will give him the most beautiful women of Makkah and give him the keys to the Kaaba and give him money if he abandons Islam.

Prophet replied (to his uncle), "Even if they place the sun in my right-hand, and the moon in my left-hand in return for giving up this matter (Dawah to Islam), I will never stop – until; - either Allah makes it (the religion of Allah) triumph or I die defending it." [As-Seerah an-Nabaweyyah, Ibn Hisham (vol.1, p.265-266)]

وَدُّوا لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ

They wish that you should compromise (in religion out of courtesy) with them, so they (too) would compromise with you. [Al Qalam 68:9]

Allah (سبحانه وتعالىٰ) told you in 68:9 that the kuffaar will approach you for you to sell out.

They approached the Prophet and told him that they will worship Allah for one year and worship their idols for one year.

When this happened Allah revealed Surah al Kafiroon

The last verse of Surah al Kafiroon is a declaration of war.

 STEP 3 - SLANDER YOUR NAME

To slander your name is called propaganda warfare.

They are going to call you a terrorist, a fanatic and a khawaarij

Don't allow someone to call you a khawaarij without answering them back.

They launched propaganda warfare against the Prophet when he refused to sell out.

They called him a mad man, a soothsayer, a fortune teller and a magician.

Waleed ibn Mugheerah called the meeting for the Prophet's name to be slandered.

At the meeting they decided they are going to call the Prophet a magician.

The kuffaar used to go to the gates of Makkah and tell the people that there's a man called Muhammad who wants them to leave off the religion of their forefathers and that he was a magician.  Referring to the Holy Prophet, hence Allah revealed the following Surah:

 Woe to every slanderer and backbiter. [1] Who has gathered wealth and counted it, [2] He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever! [3] Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire. [4] [Al-Humazah 104:1-4]

Surah 104 tells you that when a person is wealthy he thinks that his wealth gives him the power to slander his enemies.

The British and the Americans who control BBC, CNN and Fox News use their media to wage propaganda warfare.

Allah (سبحانه وتعالىٰ) continues to frustrate the kuffaar because Allah (سبحانه وتعالىٰ) made a promise in 61:8 that He will perfect His light.

يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ

They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it. [A Saff 61:8]

This means that the slandering of the kuffaar will be to no avail.

STEP 4 - TO UNLEASH AGAINST YOU SANCTIONS AND EMBARGO

The kuffaar put sanctions on the Prophet and the sahabahs for three years.

They had to eat leaves to survive.

The kuffaar of Makkah were not touched by the crying of Muslims babies, due to the sanctions they had placed, because they were heartless and cruel.

A pagan has no mercy in his heart for the believers. This is why there is a massacre taking place in Burma.

وَإِخْرَاجُ أَهْلِهِ مِنْهُ أَكْبَرُ عِندَ اللَّهِ ۚ وَالْفِتْنَةُ أَكْبَرُ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ ۗ وَلَا يَزَالُونَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَن دِينِكُمْ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعُوا ۚ وَمَن يَرْتَدِدْ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِهِ فَيَمُتْ وَهُوَ كَافِرٌ فَأُولَٰئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ

And they will never cease fighting you until they turn you back from your religion (Islamic Monotheism) if they can. And whosoever of you turns back from his religion and dies as a disbeliever, then his deeds will be lost in this life and in the Hereafter, and they will be the dwellers of the Fire. They will abide therein forever [Al Baqarah 2:217]

2:217 is a warning from Allah for the believers.

STEP 5 - MILITARY WARFARE

Military warfare is to kill you.

When the Prophet was planning to leave Makkah for Madinah, Abu Jahl decided to have seven men kill the Prophet but.

Abu Jahl’s plan failed because Allah is the best of Planners.

Abu Jahl used to be called Abu Hakm (the father of wisdom). The Prophet changed his name to Abu Jahl (the father of ignorance).

Abu Jahl's plan was to use seven men from seven different tribes to kill the Holy prophet so as to scatter his blood among seven different tribes, thus making it impossible for the tribe of the Holy prophet to take revenge.

When the Prophet was migrating, he recited 36:9.

وَجَعَلْنَا مِن بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَأَغْشَيْنَاهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ

And We have put a barrier before them, and a barrier behind them, and We have covered them up, so that they cannot see. [Ya Sin 36:9]

The Prophet recited this ayah (36:9) when he was migrating from Makkah to Madinah. The Prophet sprinkled dust on the kuffaar and they could not see him leaving.

وَمَكَرُوا وَمَكَرَ اللَّهُ ۖ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ

And they (disbelievers) plotted [to kill 'Isa (Jesus)], and Allah planned too. And Allah is the Best of the planners. [Al Imran 3:54]

The kuffaar of Makkah planted seven young men outside the doorstep of the Prophet to kill him because when all the other strategies fail the kuffaar get frustrated and want to kill you.

 THE REALITY OF THE TRUTH

·         THE TRUTH DIVIDES PEOPLE

 

Some people decide to follow the truth and some people decide to reject it.

Those who decide to follow the truth become part of hizbu Rahmaan and those who decide to reject the truth become part of hizbu Shaitaan.

وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ

And the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) differed not until after there came to them clear evidence. (i.e. Prophet Muhammad () and whatever was revealed to him). [Al Baiyyinah 98:4]

The bayyinah in 98:4 is the truth.

Waleed ibn Mugheerah's son, Khalid, and Abu Jahl's son, Ikrimah, became Muslims.

Therefore Khalid ibn Waleed and Ikrimah are from hizbu Rahmaan despite their fathers being from hizbu shaitaan.

 2) THE TRUTH PUTS YOU ON THE SPOT AND FORCES YOU TO TAKE A STANCE

The Jews were put on the spot because of the people who used to fish on the Sabbath. They had to choose whether they be from amongst those who fish on the Sabbath or not.

The Jews who decided to break the sabbath were transformed into apes and swine.  

قُلْ هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُم بِشَرٍّ مِّن ذَٰلِكَ مَثُوبَةً عِندَ اللَّهِ ۚ مَن لَّعَنَهُ اللَّهُ وَغَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهُمُ الْقِرَدَةَ وَالْخَنَازِيرَ وَعَبَدَ الطَّاغُوتَ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَأَضَلُّ عَن سَوَاءِ السَّبِيلِ

Say (O Muhammad SAW to the people of the Scripture): "Shall I inform you of something worse than that, regarding the recompense from Allah: those (Jews) who incurred the Curse of Allah and His Wrath, those of whom (some) He transformed into monkeys and swine’s, those who worshipped Taghut (false deities); such are worse in rank (on the Day of Resurrection in the Hell-fire), and far more astray from the Right Path (in the life of this world)." [Al Ma'idah 5:60]

 If you are sincere you will follow the truth but if you are a munaafiq you will follow the way of Abu Jahl and the Pharaoh.

 3) IT FORCES YOU TO PRACTISE AL WALA WAL BARA  

Al wala wal bara is to love what Allah (سبحانه وتعالىٰ) loves and hate what Allah (سبحانه وتعالىٰ) hates.

When you belong to hizbu Rahmaan you will hate hizbu Shaitaan.

60:1 is for people who hate and attack Islam.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِم بِالْمَوَدَّةِ وَقَدْ كَفَرُوا بِمَا جَاءَكُم مِّنَ الْحَقِّ يُخْرِجُونَ الرَّسُولَ وَإِيَّاكُمْ ۙ أَن تُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ رَبِّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ خَرَجْتُمْ جِهَادًا فِي سَبِيلِي وَابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاتِي ۚ تُسِرُّونَ إِلَيْهِم بِالْمَوَدَّةِ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِمَا أَخْفَيْتُمْ وَمَا أَعْلَنتُمْ ۚ وَمَن يَفْعَلْهُ مِنكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَاءَ السَّبِيلِ

O you who have believed, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies, extending to them affection while they have disbelieved in what came to you of the truth, is having driven out the Prophet and yourselves [only] because you believe in Allah , your Lord. If you have come out for jihad in My cause and seeking means to My approval, [take them not as friends]. You confide to them affection, but I am most knowing of what you have concealed and what you have declared. And whoever does it among you has certainly strayed from the soundness of the way. (Al Mumtahanah 60:1)

Don't take this ayah (60:1) out of context.

Thousands of people took their shahadah in the UK. If they didn't have Muslim friends, how would they have taken their shahadah?

This same surah tells you that you are not allowed to paint everyone with the same brush.

لَّا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ

Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly. [Al Mumtahanah 60:8]

Asma's mother came to visit her when Asma was in Madinah. Asma treated her mother coldly so Allah revealed the above ayah (60:8).

An unbeliever who doesn't fight you for the sake of your religion can be taken as an associate.

4) THE TRUTH MAKES YOU HAPPY

Bautil makes you sad and gives you mental depression.

Expect the madhouses of the kuffaar to be filled with people.

The evidence for bautil giving you mental depression is 20:124-126

وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَىٰ

But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Quran nor acts on its orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection." [TA HA 20:124]

قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِي أَعْمَىٰ وَقَدْ كُنتُ بَصِيرًا

He will say:"O my Lord! Why have you raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)."[TA HA 20:125]

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ أَتَتْكَ آيَاتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَا ۖ وَكَذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمَ تُنسَىٰ

(Allah) will say: "Like this, Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) came unto you, but you disregarded them (i.e. you left them, did not think deeply in them, and you turned away from them), and so this Day, you will be neglected (in the Hell-fire, away from Allah's Mercy)."[Ta Ha 20:126]

The sinners are all depressed because they waste their money dubbing and clubbing.

They are depressed because their body is failing because of their sins.

They are depressed because their bodies are failing them because of their sins.

5) THE TRUTH GIVES YOU SELF CONTENTMENT

الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ

Verily in the Remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest. (Ar Rad 13:28)

Narrated By Abu Huraira (RA): The Prophet () said, "Riches does not mean, having a great amount of property, but riches is self-contentment" [Al-Bukhari (6038) and Muslim (2287)]

6) THE TRUTH SETS YOU FREE

When you practice Islam, it liberates from the servitude of man to man to the servitude of man to Allah (سبحانه وتعالىٰ)

The truth takes you away from the narrowness of the dunya to the vastness of the hereafter.

Indeed the truth sets you free.

When the bird went to Yemen, it saw a woman ruling over the people.

The bird said to Prophet Suleiman that the woman owns her subjects.

The reason why this was the case is because the people of Yemen worshipped the Sun.

When you worship the creation instead of the Creator, you become owned by others.

Only Islam can liberate you.

When you practice the truth, you are free because you are not enslaved by your evil and corrupted desires.

Homosexuals, lesbians, and drug addicts are enslaved because of their evil and corrupted desires.

You don't look ten years older than your age like the kuffaar do. You look ten years younger because you are not enslaved by an evil satanic addiction.

 7) IT OPENS YOUR EYES TO SATAN'S WEB

 The web of the Satan is various and numerous.

وَلَأُضِلَّنَّهُمْ وَلَأُمَنِّيَنَّهُمْ وَلَآمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُبَتِّكُنَّ آذَانَ الْأَنْعَامِ وَلَآمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُغَيِّرُنَّ خَلْقَ اللَّهِ ۚ وَمَن يَتَّخِذِ الشَّيْطَانَ وَلِيًّا مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ خَسِرَ خُسْرَانًا مُّبِينًا

Verily, I will mislead them, and surely, I will arouse in them false desires; and certainly, I will order them to slit the ears of cattle, and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allah." And whoever takes Shaitan (Satan) as a Wali (protector or helper) instead of Allah, has surely suffered a manifest loss. [An Nisa 4:119]

The shaitaan promised that he will attack us with his web in 4:119

 8) THE TRUTH GIVES YOU THE FURQAAN

 Allah said that only by holding fast to the truth will we have the furqaan.

The furqaan is the criterion to distinguish the right from the wrong, the truth from the falsehood and the pure from the corrupted.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن تَتَّقُوا اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّكُمْ فُرْقَانًا وَيُكَفِّرْ عَنكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ

O you who believe! If you obey and fear Allah, He will grant you Furqan a criterion [(to judge between right and wrong), or (Makhraj, i.e. making a way for you to get out from every difficulty)], and will expiate for you your sins, and forgive you, and Allah is the Owner of the Great Bounty. [Al Anfal 8:29]

 9) IT GIVES YOU FIRAASA

The firaasa is the intuition.

The firaasa is the ability to look in the face of a man and be able to tell that he is having an affair or tell he is a thief.

Abu Sa’eed Khudri (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger () said, ‘Guard yourself against a Believer’s insight, for, he sees with the light of Allah.” He then recited: Surely in that are signs for the sagacious. (15:75)

Without firaasa you are a fair game for the con artists because you are living in a habitation of human devils.

Anas Ibn Malik narrated the Messenger of Allah () said: "A believer is shrewd, sharp and careful." [Quda'ee (d. 454 H) in 'Musnad al-Shihab' (Vol. 1 pg. 107) No. 128]

 10) THE TRUTH CAUSES YOU TO GAIN ENEMIES AND LOSE FRIENDS

The majority of people don't want the truth because of the hardships that come with it.

People prefer to travel on the flat road which takes them to the hellfire instead of the steep road which takes them to paradise.

فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ

 But he has made no effort to pass on the path that is steep. [Al Balad 90:11]

 11) IT UNITES ALL THE FAKE MUSLIMS AGAINST YOU

The goofy Sufis, the shady Shiites, the Barelvis and the Saudi Salafis hate each other but they are united against the mujahideen because the truth unites all the fake Muslims against you.

These four groups that are mentioned above are hypocrites and a waste of space.

 12) IT UNITES ALL THE KUFFAAR AGAINST YOU

The Hindus, the Christians, the Buddhists and the Jews unite against the Muslims even though they hate each other because the truth unites all the infidels against you.

This happened at the Battle of the Trench when all the kuffaar united to fight the Muslims.

وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ ۚ إِلَّا تَفْعَلُوهُ تَكُن فِتْنَةٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ كَبِيرٌ

And those who disbelieve are allies to one another, (and) if you (Muslims of the whole world collectively) do not do so (i.e. become allies, as one united block with one Khalifah - chief Muslim ruler for the whole Muslim world to make victorious Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism), there will be Fitnah (wars, battles, polytheism, etc.) and oppression on earth, and a great mischief and corruption (appearance of polytheism). [An Anfal 8:73]

13) THE TRUTH GIVES YOU IZZA (HONOUR)

يَقُولُونَ لَئِن رَّجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْأَذَلَّ ۚ وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَٰكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

"But honour, power and glory belong to Allah, His Messenger (Muhammad ), and to the believers, but the hypocrites know not. [Al Munafiqun 63:8]

Those who seek honour from a source other than Islam will be disgraced like how Saddam Hussein was disgrace.

Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi and Bashr al Asad sought honour in Arab nationalism and Ba’thism (Arab socialism) and they were disgraced because Umar said that whoever seeks honour from a source other than Islam will be disgraced.

Saddam Hussein was hanged on Eid day.

The founder of Ba'thism was an Arab Christian

They left off the religion of Muhammad to follow the religion of an Arab Christian and because of that Allah disgraced them in the land.

Umar said:  We were a people who lived in humiliation before and Allah gave us honour through Islam. So if we seek honour through anything else other than what Allah has honoured us with, then Allah will humiliate us’ [Mustadrak Al Hakim 207, Sahih by Ad Dhahabi in Talkhees and Sahih by Al bani in Silsilah Sahiha 51]
