Humility vs. Arrogance

Humility vs. Arrogance

This is precisely how/why asking Allah for: ar-Rahmah/Mercy, at-Tawbah/Repentance, al-Maghfirah/Forgiveness, al-`Āfiyah/Pardon, etc. are so essentially important. There’s a Reason how/why one of the Names-Of-Allah is Al-Mu’ākhir/The Ultimate-Delayer. We, as Humans, not getting chastised for Negative-Character/Behavior instantly shouldn’t necessarily make us comfortable…that’s supposed to bother us, because if we don’t catch it here it may very well await us via al-Ākhirah/the Hereafter which’ll be worse realistically.

al-`Asabiyyah: the Sunnah/Tradition of ash-Shaytān/Satan

Muhammad (Peace be upon them) foretold that their Ummah/Nation will never abandon al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia.
(Muslim)

Morad Awad interviewed Gareth Bryant, concerning how detrimental al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia plays-out amongst All-Muslims via the Muslim-World. This is based upon Muhammad (Peace be upon them) warning us, that there’s 4-Manifestations of al-Jāhiliyyah/Ignorance which their Nation will never abandon. 2/4-Things deal directly with al-`Asabiyyah.
(Muslim)

This-Interview ended-up being a Culmnation, of Subjects/Topics that I’ve written about for quite awhile. It’s exclusively predicated upon my Personal Life-Experience, coupled with Obervations/Assessments of Human-Nature/Behavior. The Conclusions which I come to are harrowng, to put it mildly.

What I’ve realized is that Apathy (Indifference/Carelessness) is truly the Order of the Day. And, it as well stands as a Dark-Hallmark as per Human-Legacy. Throughout Human-History: al-`Asabiyyah has been, at many Times, been the Sole-Reason how/why Countless-Peoples became Victims/Casualties of Theft, Rape, Murder. al-`Asabiyyah has undoubtedly proven to be amongst the Most-Destructive Things which Humanity has ever chosen to entertain. However, sadly&pitifully, there’s Certain-Persons via our World whom actually enjoy al-`Asabiyyah & how it yields at-Tahlakah/Destruction. And, there’s 0-Doubt that Persons like them are Shayātīn/Satanists…as I always tell People: You don’t have to be a Jinn/Fire-Being to be a Shaytān/Satanist.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.114)

Understanding Religio-Sectarianism amongst Muslims

1. `Aqā’id/Religio-Theological Schools

Atharism, Ash`arism, Māturīdism, Mu`tazilism, Qadarism, Jabarism, Murji’ism, etc. Originally, these `Aqā’id were exclusively used to interpret al-`Aqīdah/Islāmic-Theology (which is a Religio-Scholastic Euphemism of/for the 6-Arkān/Pillars of al-Īmān/Faith). However, over Time & via Human-Ego/Desire: These-`Aqā’id are nothing more than Instruments of Religio-Academic/Scholastic Dick-Measuring Contests & Fake-Wokeness via Muslim-Coonery, attempting to determine/decide who’s really Muslim vs. who’s really Non-Muslim. And, this has historically/contemporaneously has led to the spilling of Muslim-Blood/the Loss of Muslim-Life, the Confiscation of Muslim-Possessions, the Humiliation of Fellow-Muslims, etc. via Takfīr/Blasphemy-Culture which has always been Mahrūm/Islāmically-Prohibited. For a Long-Time: Muslims have internally suffered from our own Muslim vs. Muslim Versions of Religio-Inquisitions.

Muhhammad (Peace be upon him) stated the following, regarding at-Takfīr/Blasphemy:

“No Person accuses another of either being a Fāsiq/Sinner or a Kāfir (Disbeliever/Non-Muslim), except that they’re one themselves, if the Other isn’t which they’ve pontificated/claimed.”.
(al-Bukhārī)

“Whomever attributes/ascribes Kufr (Disbelief) to their Brother is just like their Killer/Murderer.”.
(al-Bukhārī, at-Tirmidhī)

“If a Muslim calls someone a Kāfir (Disbeliever/Non-Muslim): if they are then let it be, otherwise they themselves are a Kāfir.”
(Abū-Dāwud)

2. Madhāhib (Religio-Legal Schools)

Ja`farism, Zaydism, Hanafism, Mālikism, Shāfī`ism, Hanbalism, Ibādhism, Zhāhirism, etc. Originally, These-Madhāhib were exclusively used to simply interpret ash-Sharī`ah/Islāmic-Law. However, over Time via: Human-Ego/Desire, the Pathological-Influence/Dominance of the `Aqā’id, Cultural-Colonization, Arabism, al-Bid`ah/Religio-Innovation, etc. These-Madhāhib have become tainted/corrupted via Various-Ways which’re potentially irreversible.

3. Manāhij (Religio-Political Groups/Ideologies)

Shī`ism, Sūfism, Salafism, Ikhwānism, Tablīghism, Deobandism, Brelwism, Pan-Arabism/Ba`thism, al-Qā`idah, ISIS/ISIL, Boko-Haram, ash-Shabāb, Tālibān, PLO, Hamās, Hizbullah, etc. All of These-Groups have, based on Agenda, Convenience, etc. have used `Aqā’id & Madhāhib to pontificate/promote their Goals which’ve always had (negative, toxic, destructive, etc.) Consequences which’ve been very costly for the Muslim-World: anywhere/everywhere Muslims globally exist.

The Average-Muslim doesn’t even know the Basic-Origins of any of these Ahzāb/Religio-Sectarian Groups & doesn’t care either. The Average-Muslim just wants to be a Muslim. I can humanly guarantee you that, historically (relative to the Revelation of The Qur’ān): barely 10% of the Muslim-World has ever pontificated/claimed to be Hizbīs (Religio-Sectarian Ascribers/Adherents). And, this speaks truly to the Words of Muhammad (Peace be upon them) when they told/warned us that amongst the Yahūd/Jews there’ll be 71-Ahzāb, amongst the Nasārā/Christians there’ll be 72-Ahzāb, amongst the Muslims there’ll be 73-Ahzāb & they’ll all be Hell-Bound except al-Jamā`āh/the Collective-Body of the Muslims: the Average-Muslims whom stay out of the Way & avoid this Fitnah/Goofy-Shit known as al-Hizbiyyah.
(at-Tirmidhī, Abū-Dāwud, ibn-Mājah, ibn-Hibbān)

We were equally warned via Muhammad, concerning al-Istikbār/Arrogance, thinking/feeling that we alone are the Source of our Najiyyah/Salvation. an-Najiyyah solely belongs to Allah & the Arrogant have 0-Portion of Salvation from Allah. These Ahzāb commonly actually think/feel, as the Sentiment of the Aforementioned-Video, that they alone can achieve al-Jannah/Paradise & anyone whom isn’t amongst them will attain an-Nār/the Fire. This is literally the Mindset/Mentality of al-Kharajiyyah/Religio-Extremism & Muhammad spoke against al-Khawārij, as per their Arrogance, labeling them as “…Kilāb-un-Nār/Dogs of the Fire.”.
(ibn-Mājah)

So, in Conclusion: just be an Average-Muslim, simply be Part of the Jamā`ah/the Collective.
