UMMATI UMMATI- PROTECT YOUR IMAAN!
INTRODUCTION TO BOOK (EXTRACTED FROM BOOK-QALAMUL HAQ)
With the Fadl of Allah Ta’aala , this Kitaab, “UMMATI UMMATI! PROTECT YOUR IMAAN!” is presented to the esteemed readers who at the end will have an opportunity to make up their own minds as to where the Truth lies.
On the specific issue of naming and exposing the one who misguides others, Imaam Abu Hanifah (Rahmatullahi alay) said to his Student, Imaam Abu Yusuf (Rahmatullahi alay) :
“When you are aware of the evil of a person, then do not speak/mention this about him, but search for goodness from him, and speak about it, except in the matter of Deen. If you are aware of it (evil) in his Deen then mention him to the people so that they do not follow him and so that they stay away from him.
Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wa Salam said:
‘Mention the faajir with that in which he indulges so that the people stay away from him even if he is a man of status and position.’
And the person in whom you see corruption of the Deen, mention that (to the people) and do not be concerned of his status, for verily, Allah Ta’ala is your Aid, and your Helper.” (Wasayaa Imaam A’zam Pg. 25)
There are Ulama who innocently may have adopted certain drastic views which, in hindsight, they may modify and alter after reading this Kitaab.
This Kitaab is directed at those sincere, genuinely confused souls who frantically lift their empty palms towards the wide heavens and cry out to their Rabb:
‘O Allah, O our Rabb, please guide us and protect our Imaan and the Imaan of our progeny’.
Needless to say, this Kitaab will not benefit anyone who, for whatever reasons, have selected to snub and have elected to oppose its contents even before reading and studying it.
No force of persuasion can alter the path of such a hopelessly lost soul, whose unambiguous mission is focused upon self-sabotaging his Imaan.
For such people, there can only be but one Duá:
‘O Allah guide them, for they “do not know”
Indeed, Allah, Most High is the only Helper and Protector.
