The basis of the Muslim’s wilaayah (allegiance and friendship) and ikhwa (brotherhood) is imaan (belief). Allah commanded the Muslims to have walaa’ for the believers and commanded them to have baraa’ for the kuffaar. “O you who believe! Do not take your fathers and brothers as awliyaa, if they love kufr instead of imaan. If any of you do so, they are zaalimoon.” (at Tawbah 9:23) and “O you who believe! Take not the Jews and Christians as Awliyaa, they are but awliyaa to one another. And if any amongst you does take them as awliyaa, then he is one of them. Verily Allah guides not those people who are zaalimoon.” (al Maa’idah 5:51) Allah (swt) showed that seeking walaa’ with disbelivers is a sign of nifaaq (hypocrisy) “And you see those in whose hearts there is a disease, they hurry to their friendship, saying ‘We fear lest some misfortune or disaster may befall us’ Perhaps Allah may bring a victory or a decision according to His will. Then they will become regretful for what they have been keeping as a secret in themselves.” (al Maa’idah 5:52) and “Give the munaafiqoon the news that they will have a painful punishment, those who take the disbelievers as friends instead of believers, do they seek honour/power with them? Verily, to Allah belongs all Honour.” (an Nisa 4:138-139) The believers are prohibited from having walaa (friendship and allegiance) with the kuffaar, Allah (swt) said “The believers should not take the disbelievers as friends rather than the believers. Whoever does that has nothing to do with Allah.” (aali I’mraan 3:28) and “O you who believe! Take not for awliyaa disbelievers instead of believers. Do you wish to offer Allah a manifest proof against yourselves?” (an Nisa 4:144) In fact walaa’ with kuffaar is not only haraam but it is a kufr matter as established by several of the ayaat mentioned above and below, Allah (swt) said “You will noy find any people that believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His messenger, even though they were their fathers, sons, brothers or relatives. For such He has written imaan in their hearts and strenghtened them with Ruh from from Himself. And We will admit them to Gardens underneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein. Allah is pleased with them and they with Him. They are the party of Allah (hizbullaah). Verily, it is the party of Allah that will be successful.” (al Mujaadilah 58:22) and Allah (swt) said “And whoever takes as protectors Allah, His messenger and those who believe, then the party of Allah will be victorious (ghaaliboon)” (al Maa’idah 5:56) So these last two ayaat described that the only successful party are hizbullaah, and one of their characteristics is that they have walaa’ only for believers and they have baraa’ from the kaafireen even if it their family. The verse is not in the plural, it does not say ahzaab (parties) but it says hizb (party), the believers are ordered to be one united group on the basis of the Book and the Sunnah and organized under the authority of one Imaam. The walaa’ should include all true believers and not just those who are members of the same organization, party or group. Baraa’ should only be for the kuffaar and not for Muslims on the basis of them belonging to a different tribe, madh-hab or group.
The basis of the walaa’ (allegiance and friendship) and ikhwa (brotherhood) among the believers is imaan and taqwa. Allah (swt) said “Verily, the believers are a brotherhood” (al Hujuraat 49:10) and “The believing men and believing women are awliyaa of one another, they command the ma’roof and forbid the munkar, they establish the Salah and give zakah and obey Allah and His messenger. Allah will have His mercy on them. Surely Allah is A’zeezun Hakeem.” (at Tawbah 9:71) So the first ayah specified that Islam restricted brotherhood to believers and this means brotherhood was not extended to the kuffaar, and this is like the hadith “…and be servants to Allah, brothers to one another as you have been commanded. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim…” (BUKHAARI, MUSLIM from Abu Hurayrah) The second ayah again re-emphasized that imaan is the basis of allegiance, protection and friendship and that the brotherhood and allegiance is all based on an Islamic relationship and it thus mentioned commanding ma’roof and forbidding munkar and the establishment of Islamic obligations among these believers who are awliyaa to each other. These obligations which they perform emanate from their true belief (imaan) and this imaan is also the cause of their friendship with each other, and the strength of imaan among Muslims is indicated by the presence of these obligations and so the strongest friendship and allegiance should be for those believers who excel in taqwa (which is to protect oneself from disobedience to Allah by doing what Allah has commanded and refraining from the prohibitions).The believer is friendly and supportive of the mutaqqi believer but dissapproves of the sinful believer although he still performs the obligations of brotherhood towards him. The highest level of friendship and allegiance should be based upon the adherence to the beliefs and rules of Islam, a true believer does not devote his friendship and allegiance with the Muslim who visits prostitutes, drinks alcohol and backbites believers et cetera. Allah (swt) said “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate, seeking bounty from Allah and His Pleasure. You see the signs of prostration on their faces…” (al Fath 48:29) THIS WHOLE AYAH MUST BE ADDED TO THE BOOK IN SECTION ON OBJECTIVES OF SHARIAH AS IT SHOWS AL WALAA AND ITS EFFECTS, THE RELATION BETWEEN THE FOUNDATION AND THE BRANCHES)Band Allah (swt) said “And verily your Waali is Allah, His messenger and the believers, those who establish the Salah and give zakaah and they bow down.” (al Maa’idah 5:55) The basis of allegiance and separation must not be the membership of groups just as it should not be the belonging to a tribe or land. This all falls within the prohibited a’sabeeyah (excessive bonding on the basis of un-Islamic principles) whether it takes the form of wataniyyah (nationalism), qawmiyyah (tribalism) or hizbeeyah (partisanship). Groups and parties seem to have the effect of a’sabeeyah in three ways. Firstly there is a barrier between a group and the rest of the ummah. Secondly there is a barrier between one group and another group and thirdly, there is a barrier within groups between the members based upon their adherence to the groups agenda and activities, the one who disagrees with some of the groups ideas will be isolated from the rest of the group and the one who blindly follows the leadership of the group and is vigorous in proclaiming the groups agenda along with its name, will be favoured by the leadership of the group, they will class him as someone who possesses understanding even if his understanding of the deen is little. It is reported that Nabi (saw) said “A man is upon the deen of his friend, so let each of you look at who you have befriended” (TIRMIDHI, ABU DAWOOD) So this hadith described that the good deen of a Muslim is the reason for associating with a Muslim, the reason for befriending a Muslim should not be his adherence to a group. Due to the existence of the many groups and parties we see that many Muslims are now grouped together and only associate with members of their same group and refrain from associating with Muslims from other groups or those who are not from any group. The result is that they will be closer to those who are not even deserving of closeness such as those who are in love with the western kaafir culture shaving off their beards, listening to corrupt music and not adopting the ways of the Sunnah.
It is also clear that the walaa’ (friendship and allegiance) of Allah for believers is based upon the strength of the imaan and taqwa present within those believers “Verily, the awliyaa of Allah will have no fear upon them, nor shall they grieve, those who believe and have taqwa of Allah” (10:62-63) and in the hadith Qudsi Allah (swt) said as reported by the Prophet (saw) “Whoever shows enmity to a close friend (waali) of Mine, then I declare war on him. My slave does not draw closer to Me with anything more beloved to Me than that which I have made obligatory upon him. My slave continues to draw closer with extra optional (naafilah) acts until I love him…” (BUKHAARI from Abu Hurayrah) So it is clear from this verse and hadith that wilaayah with Allah is established by imaan and taqwa and that those who have the greatest imaan and taqwa will have the closest friendship and allegiance with Allah. This also establishes tht criterion for the Muslims walaa’ with each other as well, because the basis of Allah taking Muslims as awliyaa should be the same basis for the Muslims taking each other as awliyaa and this is supported by the many ayaat already mentioned and several ahadith such as “Indeed the firmest handhold on imaan is that you love for Allah and hate for Allah” (AHMAD [4/286] IBN ABI SHAYBAH in ‘al-Imaan’ [no.110] AT-TAYAALISI [2/48] from Baraa bin Aa’zib) and U’baadah bin as Saamit reported in the hadith qudsi that Nabi (saw) said “Allah ta a’la said: ‘My love is due for those who love one another for My sake…’” (AHMAD [5/229] AL-HAAKIM [4/169] Abu Umaamah reported that Nabi (saw) said “He who loves for Allah and hates for Allah and gives for Allah and withholds for Allah has perfected imaan.” (ABU DAWOOD [no.3664] TIRMIDHI [2521] AHMAD [3/438, 440]) and Anaas bin Maalik reported that Nabi (saw) said “There are three characteristics, whoever has them will find the sweetness of imaan – That Allah and His messenger are more beloved to him than all else, that he loves a person and does not love him except for Allah and that he would hate to revert to kufr just as he would hate to be thrown into the Fire.” (BUKHAARI [1/60] MUSLIM [no.67,68,69]) Abu Dharr reported that Rasool Allah (saw) said “The best action is to love for the sake of Allah and hate for the sake of Allah” (ABU DAWOOD kitaabus Sunnah vol.3 [no.4582]) add hadeeths of muslim and adabul mufrad about those who you love
The main identity of the believer is that he is a Muslim, he should always attribute himself to the Muslim ummah and it is Allah who called us Muslims “And strive hard in Allah’s cause like you ought to strive. He has chosen you and has not laid upon you any hardship in the deen, it is the millah of your father Ibraheem. It is He (Allah) who has named you Muslimeen both before and in this (Quran), that the messenger may be a witness over you and you be witness over mankind. So establish the Salah, give zakah and hold fast to Allah (wa ‘tasimu billaah) and depend upon Him. He is your Mawla, what an excellent Mawla and what an excellent Helper.” (Hajj 22:78) So when we use the identity with which Allah called us it has the effect of creatiing a basis of unity and it connects all of the believers collectively to their shared belief, their common goal and their common reference point. When the Muslim attributes himself to other than the united body of the Muslim ummah, such as a specific group or party, then his association has been limited to that with which he chooses to associate and his chosen identity will lead to barriers between him and other Muslims even if he did not intend that. This is because a group is recognised by its name, its beliefs, its objectives, methods, activities, history and also by its prominent members. All of these matters will be associated then with members of that group even though the individual member may be free of that which is attributed to him through the membership of that group. This natural occurrence is the cause of much prejudice between different groups and is a starting point for many hostilities.
Allah also informed us that among the best things we can say is that we are from the Muslims. “And who is better in speech than he who calls to Allah and does righteous deeds and says ‘I am from the Muslimeen’” (Fussilat 41:33) As soon as we call ourselves Muslims we unite with the ummah in identity but as soon as we attribute ourselves to a group or party we divide in identity from the rest of the ummah whether they are with groups or not and we also have not fulfilled the best speech that this ayah mentions. The Quran mentioned many descriptive characteristics (such as mujaahidoon, muhsinoon, saabiqoon etc.) that some believers possess and some do not possess but these characteristics are not supposed to be turned into names of organizations which causes division. The common identity chosen by Allah for the Muslim ummah which is also their primary identity, is Islam so we should call ourselves Muslims as Allah had named us that. Even when the Muhaajireen and Ansaar used the descriptive names (which Allah had mentioned for them) as a means of division Nabi (saw) described this as “..the calls of jaahileeyah.” (BUKHAARI, MUSLIM) So the conclusion, is that friendship, allegiance and identity must all be in accordance with what the wahi applied to all believers, it should not be based upon that which creates division in the Muslim Ummah or leads to it.
Mahabbah
"But no by your Lord, they can have no imaan until they set you (O Muhammad) judge in any disputes that arise among them and then find in themselves no resistance against your decisions but submit to them with fullest submission (yusallimu tasleema)." (an Nisaa 4:65) This is
"Verily, you guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He knows best those who are the guided." (al Qassass 28:56) This proves there are intellectual and shari emotions. Love [inclination can be due to relationship etc] However this inclination is not motivated by allegaince.
This also establishes tht criterion for the Muslims walaa' with each other as well, because the basis of Allah taking Muslims as awliyaa should be the same basis for the Muslims taking each other as awliyaa and this is supported by the many ayaat already mentioned and several ahadith such as "Indeed the firmest handhold on imaan is that you love for Allah and hate for Allah" (AHMAD [4/286] IBN ABI SHAYBAH in 'al-Imaan' [no.110] AT-TAYAALISI [2/48] from Baraa bin Aa'zib) and U'baadah bin as Saamit reported in the hadith qudsi that Nabi (saw) said "Allah ta a'la said: 'My love is due for those who love one another for My sake…'" (AHMAD [5/229] AL-HAAKIM [4/169] Abu Umaamah reported that Nabi (saw) said "He who loves for Allah and hates for Allah and gives for Allah and withholds for Allah has perfected imaan." (ABU DAWOOD [no.3664] TIRMIDHI [2521] AHMAD [3/438, 440]) and Anaas bin Maalik reported that Nabi (saw) said "There are three characteristics, whoever has them will find the sweetness of imaan - That Allah and His messenger are more beloved to him than all else, that he loves a person and does not love him except for Allah and that he would hate to revert to kufr just as he would hate to be thrown into the Fire." (BUKHAARI [1/60] MUSLIM [no.67,68,69])
Al Walaa' wal Baraa'
"O you who believe! Do not take your fathers and brothers as awliyaa, if they love kufr instead of imaan. If any of you do so, they are zaalimoon." (at Tawbah 9:23)
"O you who believe! Take not the Jews and Christians as Awliyaa, they are but awliyaa to one another. And if any amongst you does take them as awliyaa, then he is one of them. Verily Allah guides not those people who are zaalimoon." (al Maa'idah 5:51)
Allah (swt) showed that seeking walaa' with disbelivers is a sign of nifaaq (hypocrisy) "And you see those in whose hearts there is a disease, they hurry to their friendship, saying 'We fear lest some misfortune or disaster may befall us' Perhaps Allah may bring a victory or a decision according to His will. Then they will become regretful for what they have been keeping as a secret in themselves." (al Maa'idah 5:52)
and "Give the munaafiqoon the news that they will have a painful punishment, those who take the disbelievers as friends instead of believers, do they seek honour with them? Verily, to Allah belongs all Honour." (an Nisa 4:138-139)
The believers are prohibited from having walaa (friendship and allegiance) with the kuffaar, Allah (swt) said "The believers should not take the disbelievers as friends rather than the believers. Whoever does that has nothing to do with Allah." (aali I'mraan 3:28) and
"O you who believe! Take not for awliyaa disbelievers instead of believers. Do you wish to offer Allah a manifest proof against yourselves?" (an Nisa 4:144)
In fact walaa' with kuffaar is not only haraam but it is a kufr matter as established by several of the ayaat mentioned above and below, Allah (swt) said "You will not find any people that believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His messenger, even though they were their fathers, sons, brothers or relatives.

The basis of the walaa' (allegiance and friendship) and ikhwa (brotherhood) among the believers is imaan and taqwa. Allah (swt) said "Verily, the believers are a brotherhood" (al Hujuraat 49:10)

So the first ayah specified that Islam restricted brotherhood to believers and this means brotherhood was not extended to the kuffaar, and this is like the hadith "…and be servants to Allah, brothers to one another as you have been commanded. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim…" (BUKHAARI, MUSLIM from Abu Hurayrah) The second ayah again re-emphasized that imaan is the basis of allegiance, protection and friendship and that the brotherhood and allegiance is all based on an Islamic relationship and it thus mentioned commanding ma'roof and forbidding munkar and the establishment of Islamic obligations among these believers who are awliyaa to each other.

and Allah (swt) said "And verily your Waali is Allah, His messenger and the believers, those who establish the Salah and give zakaah and they bow down." (al Maa'idah 5:55) The basis of allegiance and separation must not be the membership of groups just as it should not be the belonging to a tribe or land. This all falls within the prohibited a'sabeeyah (excessive bonding on the basis of un-Islamic principles) whether it takes the form of wataniyyah (nationalism), qawmiyyah (tribalism) or hizbeeyah (partisanship). Groups and parties seem to have the effect of a'sabbeyah in three ways. Firstly there is a barrier between a group and the rest of the ummah. Secondly there is a barrier between one group and another group and thirdly, there is a barrier within groups between the members based upon their adherence to the groups agenda and activities, the one who disagrees with some of the groups ideas will be isolated from the rest of the group and the one who blindly follows the leadership of the group and is vigorous in proclaiming the groups agenda along with its name, will be favoured by the leadership of the group, they will class him as someone who possesses understanding even if his understanding of the deen is little.

My slave does not draw closer to Me with anything more beloved to Me than that which I have made obligatory upon him.

"Your friend can be only Allah; and His messenger and those who believe, who establish worship and pay the poor due, and bow down." (al-Maai'dah 5:55) "And whoso taketh Allah and His messenger and those who believe for friend (will know that), lo! the party of Allah, they are the victorious." (al-Maaidah 5:56)"O ye who believe! Choose not for friends such of those who received the Scripture before you, and of the disbelievers, as make a jest and sport of your religion. But keep your duty to Allah if ye are true believers." (al-Maai'dah 5:57) “And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive (with sincerity and under discipline): He has chosen you and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (Revelation); that the Apostle may be a witness for you and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer give regular Charity and hold fast to Allah! He is your Protector the Best to protect and the Best to help!” (al Hajj 22:78) This ayah proves our identity is not country and tribe but Islam and that we share this with our brothers before who submitted, we are one ummah just as the ayah says “This your ummah is one ummah” (al Anbiyaa’)
2 Loving and Hating for the sake of Allah
"Three (qualities), whoever possesses them, will find the sweetness of eemaan: That Allah and His Messenger are more beloved to him than all else, that he loves someone only for the sake of Allah and that he hates to return to kufr after Allah has delivered him from it just as he hates to be slung int the fire" (Bukhari, Muslim, IBN MAJAH, NASAAI, TIRMIDHI, AHMAD, IBN MANDAH from Anas) "He indeed has tasted the relish of eemaan: One who is pleased with Allah as a Lord, with Islam as a deen and with Muhammad as a Prophet" (MUSLIM, TIRMIDHI, AHMAD, BAGHAWI, BAYHAQI from A'bbaas Ibn A'bdul Muttalib) "...You will be with those you love…" (MUSLIM Adabul Mufrad check in Akhir zaman of ibn Kathir) "Whoever loves for Allah, hates for Allah, gives for Allah and witholds for Allah has fulfilled eemaan." (ABU DAWOOD, AHMAD, TIRMIDHI, TABARAANI, BAGHAWI from Abu Umaamah) "By Him in whose Hand is my soul, not one of you will have eemaan until I am more beloved to him than his children, father and the whole of mankind." (BUKHARI from Abu Hurayrah and Anas MUSLIM, NASAA'I from Anas) Umar ibn al-Khattab said "O Rasool Allah, By Allah, you are indeed more beloved to me than everything besides myself." Nabi (saw) said, "No O U'mar, until I am more beloved to you than yourself." U'mar replied, "Then by Allah, you are indeed more beloved to me than myself." Nabi (saw) said, "Now (you have it) O U'mar" (BUKHARI from U'mar) "And of mankind, there are some who take others besides Allah as rivals. They love them as they (should only) love Allah. But those who believe love Allah more (than all else)." (al-Baqarah 2:165) "None of you believe until his desires are in accordance with what I have come" (BAGHAWI check in Arbaeen) "Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindered, the wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you delite are dearer to you than Allah and His messenger and striving in His cause, then wait until Allah brings about His decision." (at-Tawbah 9:24) "Say: If you love Allah then follow me Allah will love you and forgive your sins. Verily Allah is Ghafoorun Raheem." (al Imran 3:31) In this ayah the falseness of those claiming love for Allah is exposed if they do not follow the sunnah. Following the sunnah is also a way to gain forgiveness and the love of Allah and what greater benefit and honour is there? (refer to ash-Shifa) "Say: Obey Allah and the messenger. But if they turn away, Lo! Allah loveth not the disbelievers" (al-Imran 3:32) "O you who believe! Whoso of you becomes a renegade from his deen (know that)Allah will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him, humble towards the believers stern towards the disbelievers striving in the way of Allah and fearing not the blame of any blamer. Such is the grace of Allah which He giveth unto whom He will. Allah is All Embracing, All Knowing." (al-Maai'dah 5:54) "That is because they are averse to that which Allah hath revealed, therefor He maketh their action fruitless." (Muhammad 47:9) "Then how (will it be with them) when the angels gather them, smiting their faces and their backs! That will be because they followed that which angereth Allah, and hated that which pleaseth Him. Therefor He hath made their actions vain. Or do those in whose hearts is a disease deem that Allah will not bring to light their (secret) hates?" (Muhammad 47:27-29) "Most of them have a hatred for the truth" "But no by your Lord they can have no imaan until they make you judge"
Abu Hurayrah reports Nabi (saw) “Seven will be shaded on the Day when there will be no shade except His Shade - Imaamun Aa’dilan [just leader], a youth who grew up worshipping Allah, one whose heart is attached to the masjid, two who love each other for the sake of Allah meeting for His sake and parting for his sake, a man who is invited to sin with a beautiful and noble woman but he refrains saying ‘I fear Allah’, one who spends in sadaqah so that his left hand does not see what his right hand gives, and one who remebers Allah in solitude so that his eyes overflow with tears.” (MAALIK, BUKHAARI, MUSLIM)
Consequences of Not Having Walaa with believers in this life is:-
1) There will be no Victory as Allah (swt) says only Hizbullaah is victorious
2) There will be Fitnah and Fasaad (corruption) “And those who disbelieve are awliyaa’ [allies, supporters] of one another, if you do not do so there will be fitnah [calamities] in the earth and great corruption” (al Anfaal 8:73)
“Allah is the Wali [Protector, Ally, Supporter]of those who believe, He brings them out from darkness into light. But as for those who disbelieve their awliya [allies, supporters] are Taghoot, they bring them out from light into darkness. Those are the dwellers of the fire and they will abide therein forever.” (al-Baqarah 2:257) |
