Grand Mufti's statement condemning the London bombings


Shaikh Abdulaziz Bin Abdullah Al-Ashaikh, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Chairman of the Committee of Senior Ulema [religious scholars] and Chairman of the Department of Scientific Research and Ifta [guidance], today condemned the terrorist bombings in London and issued the following statement:

Killing and terrorizing innocent people and the destruction of property are not condoned by Islam. Attributing all these horrific incidents to Islam is unjust. Muslims should tell the truth and unveil falseness, and inform all people that Islam is a religion of righteousness, betterment and progress. Islam is the final revelation that Allah chose for humankind to guide it from darkness to light. Allah said: “This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.”

Our religion urges us to fulfill our obligations and prohibits us from abandoning such obligations. Allah said: “O you who believe! Fulfill your obligations.” The unjust killing of a human being in Islam is forbidden. Allah said: “And kill not anyone whom Allah has forbidden except for a just cause.”

Corruption on earth is considered a major sin in Islam. Allah said: “And of mankind there is he whose speech may please you in this worldly life, and he calls Allah to witness as to that which is in his heart, yet he is the most quarrelsome of the opponents. And when he turns away from you, his effort in the land is to make mischief therein and to destroy the crops and the cattle, and Allah likes not mischief. And when it is said to him ‘Fear Allah,’ he is led by arrogance to more crime. So enough for him is Hell, and worst indeed is that place to rest.”

On sunday I was in Hyde park speaker's corner and there was the same condemnation from the grand mufti of Saudi Arabia, i.e he condemns the acts of those people who in the name of religion afflict these atrocities.
Sometimes it is very interesting and useful to attend speaker's corner and especially listen to some brothers who call to Islam.

I will tell you something, then it is up to you to decide who is responsible:
we were planning to go to london last thursday, but decided not to go there for the main two reasons, it was just waste of our time and money.
Then we heard of bombings, I told my wife straight away that they will find some sirian, or iranian, I have even posted my comment here. (I have been following the news for a long time so it was obvious whom they would find)

Is this Turki the one who was Saudian ammbasador in the US before? I don't like him. I once watched his interview to one of the British channels, he said lies on his interview. Also my Saudian friend does not like him, when I asked him about Turki he expressed negative opinion about this person. They go the way which wind goes. (Shamol esga tarafga qarab yurishadi, bugun bir gap aytib chiqsa ertaga ana o'sha gapni teskarisini aytadi)

As for the condemanation on terrorist attacks in London, I wonder if any of muslim scholars or leaders who immadiately issued fatwas and statements, did any of them issue any fatwa or statement about a week before the London attacks when American troops killed 17 innocent people (mostly women, children and old men) in Afghanistan??? I have seen none? Are muslims becoming one sided? They rush to make statements when something happens in the West, but we hardly can see any statement (against American and British governments and troops) about killing innocent Iraqis and Afghan people. Are muslims becoming double standarded hypocrities? Sorry for my rudeness but I can't stop myself thinking of that things. Can anybody answer me? Is the Westrener's life is sacred but the muslim's is not???
Does anybody have an answer?

Brother, we are moderate muslims, if we make fatwas or talk about muslims dying in Iraq, in Afghanistan, Chechnya, or about the ones who were massacred in Bosnia, we will become extremists, and nobody in this world like extremists, fundamentalists (just because we feel love towards our brothers and sisters in the world). SO we better shush and sleep our best dreams ever, eat, drink, go out, and enjoy the life. We are becoming the nation who loves the erthy more than the Hereafter. If we love Hereafter more we would still be fundamentalists. ( I don't care what people say about me in this world, as long as I am in the right path, and I hope in the day of judgement Allah will say, that I was in the right path)

I do understand your frustration. Fatawa have been issued regarding the Iraqi and Afghanistan issues. Do you want them to issue a new fatwa every day for every suicide bomber???

The above mentioned fatwa clarifies the fact that Terrorism can never be justified whatever your reasons or causes are behind your intentions in committing terror actions. If you are not satisfied with my answer please read the following links. You will find fatawa regarding the Iraq and Palestinian issues.

Insha'Allah, this fatwa will make it clear to you that the ulama have spoken out against the US invasion of Iraq.

Please refer to www.fatwaonline.com for more fatwas on this issue.


:info:Shaykh Rabee’ bin Haadee al-Madkhalee speaks about the Attack on Iraq:info:

(From a cassette recording (26/1/1424H) of an answer of the Shaykh to a question concerning the crisis (of the Attack on Iraqi) – transcribed by Khalid adh-Dhafayree.)

Question: There has been much questioning of the position of the "adherents to the way of the pious predecessors" towards this crisis, is it permissible to supplicate against the Disbelievers in the likes of these circumstances?

Response: Yes, it is permissible to make supplication against the Disbelievers in these circumstances and others. Supplication is made for their guidance, and supplication is made for their destruction when they do not seek guidance. So we ask Allaah that prevents the harm of the Disbelivers, especially in these circumstances, we see oppression and transgression, which exceeds the lowest limits [of what can be defined as] transgression and wrongdoing. So we ask Allaah that He turns their plot back upon them.

Man, as it is said, is a commodity, it is necessary that he gather something of the news. However, I hold that the youth should not be completely engrossed and waste their time in what does not benefit them, and which does not bring back any benefit to the Ummah. Because all they can do is just listen, then what do they do after that? So they take a part of this news, and then call upon Allaah, the Blessed and Almighty, that He gives relief to the Muslims, and that He removes this affliction.

And my advice in regard to this, to the Muslims in general and to [the people of] `Iraaq specifically, is that they return to the Book of Allaah and to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam), for by Allaah, there is no exit for them from these tribulations, trials, calamities and the transgression of the Disbelievers upon them, and by Allaah nothing will stand in the face of them, except that that they adhere to the Book of Allaah, and the Sunnah of His Messenger (`alayhi as-salaatu was salaam).

And there is no exit for the Muslims from the continuous humiliation except when they are truthful in their aqeedah, and in their manners and in all of their actions. They are truthful with Allaah, they are truthful to Allaah, obedient to Him, obedient to His Messengers, respectful to His teachings that are in the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of Allaah’s Messenger.

But as for when they turn away, and fall short, and when they have beliefs that clash with the beliefs of the Prophets, [and] Shirk is spread in the lands of the Muslims, and misguidance and deviation in the morals and manners and other such tribulations, all of which obligates the anger of Allaah and obligates the domination of the enemies of Islaam upon those Muslims, those about whom the saying of the Messenger (`alayhi as-salaatu was-salaam) holds true,

“The nations are about to call each other and set upon you, just as diners set upon food.” They said: “Will it be because of our small number that day, O Messenger of Allaah?” He said: “Rather, on that day you will be many, but you will Allaamah Rabee’ on Current Events in Iraaq be like ghuthaa (scum, foam), like the ghuthaa on the river”.

This is the reality of the Muslims, so are they prepared to leave this ghuthaa’iyyah?

For by Allaah, [leaving this ghuthaa’iyyah] is not by battle-cries, nor by demonstrations, and by crying and nor by any of this. Rather, it is (by way of) our being truthful with Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, and that we acquaint ourselves with all earnest, with the methodology of the Prophets, and with the speech of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam), so we believe what it contains of beliefs upon the way of the Messenger of Allaah and His Noble Companions, not upon the way of the Rawaafid (Shi`ah), and nor upon the way of the Khawaarij, and nor upon the way of the Ba’thees (Socialists) and nor upon the way of the Philosophers, and nor upon the way of any astray sect. But rather upon the way of the Messenger (`alayhi as-salaatu was salaam), the way that is comprised in the texts of the Book and the Sunnah, and [the way that] the Noble Companions guided themselves, by this guidance, and [the way of] whoever followed them until this day of ours.

This is the path to rescue in the world and the hereafter, and this is the path of deliverance, this is the boat of deliverance. And by Allaah, the time has come for the Palestinian society to return to Allaah, and the Iraaqee society, and all of the [Muslim] societies, for them to return to Allaah, with a complete and serious return. And it is of the utmost imperative upon the callers, those who raise the slogans that doe not benefit the Muslims, that they are truthful to Allaah, the Blessed and Exalted and that they give sincerity of purpose to Allaah, and His Book and His Messenger, to the leaders of the Muslims and their general folk, that they give sincerity of purpose to them and call out to them to return to the Book of Allaah and that they satisfy the Muslims with [the fact] that there is not deliverance or rescue from the anger of Allaah, His punishment, and empowerment of their enemies upon them in this life, except by a serious return to the Book of Allaah, and the Sunnah of His Messenger (`alayhi as salaatu was salaam) and to what the Pious Predecessors (may Allaah be peased with them) were upon.

This is the path to deliverance, by Allaah, not by the United Nations, which has been unsuccessful, and nor by the Security Council, and nor by the Union of Arab States, and nor other than it, and nor by mere slogans or ideologies, or calls, or slogans, or the cries of the Soofiyyah, or the Rawaafid nor other than them.

But that which will save them and will remove them from the destructive calamities, is that they return to the Book of Allaah and to the Sunnah of His Messenger, just as he (`alayhi as salaatu was salaam) said,

“When you deal in ‘eenah transactions, and are satisfied with cultivation, and hold on to the tails of oxen [and abandon Jihaad] then Allaah will impose a humiliation upon which that He will not remove up until you return to your deen”.

I hope that you understand this Prophetic advice, it is not the advice of Rabee`, this is the advice of the Messenger of Allaah, the Naasih, the Ameen (Sincere Advisor, Trustworthy One), who does not speak with his desire, the one who is Ra’oof and Raheem, as his Lord described him. So if you desire deliverance in this world and the hereafter, and rescue, and (imposing) humiliation upon the Disbelievers, and (acquiring) strength, honour for Islaam and the Muslims, then Allaamah Rabee’ on Current Events in Iraaq by Allaah, the path to strength, deliverance and honour in this world and the hereafter is by returning to Islaam and holding fast to it.

So I ask Allaah that He grants success to the Muslims, those who are guided and those who are astray and deviated amongst them, from amongst the astray sects in whatever land from the various lands, that they show earnest in returning to the Book of Allaah, and taking from this (Prophetic) text and its likes, that direct them to what which will rectify them in their world and their hereafter. I ask Allaah that He grants success to the leaders of the Muslims, their callers, and the students of knowledge in leading these poor societies to the shores of safety, and to the banks of deliverance. And that is in abundance in the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger. I ask Allaah that He actualises this soon rather than later, verily our Lord is the one who hears the supplication, and prayers and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and companions.


"And the second question O Shaykh, it is: What is our position, or the position of the Muslims in general with regards to the fitnah that has occurred recently in Iraq in these days?"

The Shaykh responded:

"It is upon the Muslims to beseech Allaah the Mighty and Majestic so that He raises Islaam and the Muslims, so that He raises the Religion, and so that He raises the Magnificent Book, and so that He raises the purified Sunnah and so that He raises the status of knowledge and the Scholars. And so that He grants relief and a way out from every fitnah (trial, tribulation)"

:info:Grand Mufti denounces the killing of Egypt's envoy to Iraq:info:

Shaikh Abdulaziz Bin Abdullah Al-AsShaikh, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Chairman of the Committee of Senior Ulema [religious scholars] and Chairman of the Department of Scientific Research and Ifta [guidance], today issued the following statement in response to the killing of the Egyptian envoy to Iraq:

Praise be to Allah, and prayer and peace upon his last Prophet. We ask Allah to preserve our religion and bless us by adhering with it to the apparent and hidden truth and keep us sane and protect us from the evils of ourselves.

We heard with great pain what happened to the Egyptian envoy to Iraq, and since this incident was falsely put in a religious context we would like to present the truth, and hope that Allah will guide by it the hearts of those who deviated from the righteous path.

Killing of the souls that Allah prohibited is a greater crime and one of the greatest sins, as Allah says:

{And kill not anyone whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause,}

...and Allah also says:

{Because of that we ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder or to spread mischief in the land, it would be as if he killed all mankind.}

What happened to the Egyptian envoy, as he was kidnapped and killed, is considered spread of mischief in the land which Allah prohibited.

Allah says:

{And of mankind there is he whose speech may please you, in this worldly life, and he calls Allah to witness as to that which is in his heart, yet he is the most quarrelsome of the opponents. And when he turns away from you, his effort in the land is to make mischief therein and to destroy the crops and the cattle, and Allah likes not mischief. And when it is said to him “Fear Allah,” he is led by arrogance to more crime. So enough for him is Hell, and worst indeed is that place to rest.}

It is, therefore, clear that this action is prohibited and is among the great sins, and even worse is to relate it to religion. That is a major crime and deceit using the name of Allah, as Allah says:

{Verily, those who invent lies against Allah will never prosper.}

This statement is to present the truth and advise the nation. We ask Allah to preserve our religion and peace, to keep us sane and guide us to understand our religion and adhere to the deeds of our Prophet and to save us from the apparent and hidden temptations of sedition. Aameen.

No Brother, you did not get me.
I did not mean to issue a fatwa regarding suicide bombers. I know that they issued fatwa regarding this matter. If you read my last post again I said " American troops killed 17 innocent people.." . What I mean Brother, since America and co. invaded Iraq, according some statistics at least 200 thousand innocent civilians have been killed by American troops (not by insurgents or suicide bombers). So what I want to know Brother did any scholar or any muslim leader condemn at least one incident where american troops killed innocent people?! NO Brother. If I am wrong give me proof Brother. Muslims issue statements regarding terrorist attacks in the west but when it comes to the issue muslims killed by american or british troops no one even utter a word about it. Is not it hypocrisy Brother?! The westner's life is sacred but the muslim's is not. Did saudian ambassador Turki al Faisal say anything to Blair regarding british troops killing Iraqies? I do believe that he did not utter a word. Did Saudian king/prince issue any statement condemning american troops for killing more than 200 thousand innocent Iraqies and sent a letter to Bush protesting for that? NO Brother, I don't believe that they did it. Because THEY FEAR! They fear to be next american target. They fear that they will loose their "reputation" before the West, they fear that they will be labelled as "terrorist supporters" if they say anything against american policy. They fear that they will loose their crown, they fear that their funds will be frozen. THEY FEAR Brother kuffar not God. That's what I think Brother. And yet how the scholars on fatwaislam.com can claim that " ...due to this we believe that this Saudi state is the first to disseminate the ‘Aqeedah as-Salafiyyah just as the ‘Aqeedah of our righteous Salaf truly was following a period of interruption and remoteness from it, after its having only remained but with a mere group from amongst the masses." I don't believe that current Saudi state can spread any Islam to the world, all they can do is to show to the world how to obey to the US who in turn shows to the world how to "have" Saudi government.
Don't get offended of my words Brother, don't get upset. The only thing I want to see the united ummah on the right path. But our leaders are going astray of the right path, and I believe that Saudian rulers are the same, they are not better of others at all.
If you don't believe my words bring me proofs that they said something against american policy or something against american president. Did they withdrew their ambassadors? Or anything else?
I posted on other thread about murder of an innocent muslim by the british gang. http://islamonline.net/English/News/2005-07/13/article03.shtml
Did Turki al Faisal issued a statement condemning the incedent? I think there will not be any statement by Turki or Saudian government or any other muslim government. Because for them that poor man's life worth nothing.
That's what I wanted to say Brother. I have a lot of questions on my mind. I will post them Inshallah later, if I can. I know there is no benefit of posting them, but they are on my mind always, and if I don't let them out I can go crazy. These questions always circulate on my mind: why, why, why... .

Ya akhee, Assalam alaikum wa rahmatullahi,:!:

In what you said there is a partial truth in it. Truth is that, Kuffar made agression against the muslimeen in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, and other than that. The batil part of your statement is that Ulama have not spoken up against these agressions. They have, you have to listen to them or read from them. Ya akhee, it is very important that we refer all the matters to the people who possess beneficial knowledge, and who can show us the haq apart from the bateel in the complex issues like this. May Allah subahanahu wa ta'la remove all the inflictions from us, whatever of evil hit us because of our own wrong doings whatever good reaches us it is from Allah subhanahu wa ta'la. To Him we belong and to Him we return. Let's take heed from the advices of the rightly guided predecessors and listen to the people of knowledge. Indeed all that happens is with will of Allah subaha wa ta'la. He is the One who send humiliation upon this ummah because they had abandoned their deen. It will be lifted from them once they return back to their Deen. Victory is granted from Allah subhana wa ta'ala.
