COMPROMISING DEEN TO PROTECT MUSLIMS?
QUESTION
Is it fine for Muslims to attend temples and churches etc in order to protect Muslims who are in a minority?
ANSWER
Firstly the objective of Insaan(Mankind)is to establish divine system on this world and to be a means of the Deen of Allah reigning Supreme on earth.Therefore Muslims ought to be ready to sacrifice themselves for this purpose rather then sacrificing Deen for the purpose of self preservation.
Infact,whenever the Muslim Ummah engaged in the responsibility of sacrificing to preserve Deen,the amount of casualties of the Ummah was minimal as opposed to when they ignored this responsibility.
Secondly,The Quran has stated that the disbelievers would never be pleased until the Muslims follow their way, therefore compromising and carrying out the haraam act of attending their prayers and prayer places would not serve to protect the Muslims ,rather they would keep pushing until they eventually force Muslims to assimilate and become like them,we see this in countries like France.
Thirdly,The basis of Imaan is the understanding that Allah alone is one's protector and helper,disobeying Allah to gain protection defies this belief.
Fourthly, If it becomes impractical or impossible for Muslims to practice Islam in a place,it becomes necessary to migrate to a land wherein they could practice without duress, not change Islam to stay in the place.
From the above it is quite apparent that these type of compromises are not permitted, regardless of the objective.
May Allah safeguard the Ummah
