On Respecting other Faiths - al-Imaam Hamood bin 'Uqlaa` ash-Shu'aybi - Abu Dujanah - 12-26-2003
Question:
Noble Shaykh Hamood bin 'Uqlaa` ash-Shu'aybi, may Allah preserve him
Assalamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, to proceed:
It is frequently mentioned in some national summits, a belief that, in summary states that Islaam respects the other heavenly religions, and that there is no
difference between these religions and Islaam; this theory has had conferences and gatherings held for its promotion, and some leaders in the Islaamic world have upheld it.
What is the ruling on this matter? May Allah bless you, keep you firm on the truth and help you to do good.
Answer:
Praise be to Allah Lord of the Worlds, and peace and blessings be upon the most honourable of the Messengers, our Prophet Muhammed, and upon his family and companions. To proceed:
In recent times we have heard several deviated calls and strange terminology have begun idealogically attacking the Muslims. Internally it is disbelief and apostasy, but masked with deceiving terms like "conferences", "meetings of dialogue with other religions", "Interfaith movements", "globalisation", and some political statements on respecting religions.
The upholders of this call claim that gloalisation is the sole way to unite people upon one path, by which religious and ethinic differences will dissappear so to have world peace, and the enemies of this religion have paid much attention to finding excuses and convincing means to reach their objectives, and now they have begun to openly talk of the necessity of peace between religions and of respective religions and recognising them.
The new world order - or what is known as globalisation - is a chief factor in reviving this evil call, and for this reason we notice the numerous calls and conferences in favour of this matter, we hear them from the secularists and some modernists and from kings, leaders and politicians that thought of as Muslims.
And, let it be known that the inter-faith call is an old one, it was found amongst the heretic Soofiyyah, from amongst the panthiests, like Ibn Sab'een, Ibn Hood and at-Tilmisaani; they permit being a Jew, Christian and Muslim and the following of these three religions (See al-Fataawaa, 14/164). It was also upheld by the Tatar and their ministers, Ibn Taymiyyah, 'alayhi rahmatullah said of them: "And likewise the heads of their ministers and other than them, they make the religion of Islaam like the religion of the Jews and Christians, and that all these are paths to Allah, akin to the Muslims having four mathaahib.(al-Fataawaa, 28/523).
It was then revived by Jamaaladeen al-Afghaani in the last century and he was helped in this by his student Muhammed 'Abdah; in the present time it has been adopted by Roger Garaudy in what he called the treaty of al-Ishbeeliyyah*, and now it has been adopted by some modernists, rationalists, some polititicians by guard of the leaders of the new world order.
Ibn Taymiyyah, 'alayhi rahmatullah (al-Fataawaa 28/524) said: "And it is known by necessity in the religion of the Muslims, and by agreement of all the Muslims that the one who permits following other than the religion of Islaam, or following a Sharee'ah other than the Sharee'ah of Muhammed, sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam is a disbeliever".
Shaykh Muhammed bin 'Abdulwahaab, 'alayhi rahmatullah states in his ten nullifications that the one who does not do takfeer of the polythiests or doubts their disbelief or corrects their religion, disbelieves by consensus.
Ibn Hazm, rahimahullah in Maraatib al-Ijmaa', page 119: "They agreed to call the Jews and Christians disbelievers (kufaar).
al-Qaadi 'Iyaad, rahmatullahi 'alayhi says, in ash-Shifaa`, "For this reason, we declare disbelievers (nukaffir) everyone who follows other than the religion of Islaam, and follows other than it from the religions, or doubts their disbelief or corrects their belief, even if alongside that he claims Islaam".
What the scholars have mentioned regarding the takfeer of the one who corrects the religion of the Jews and Christians is based on the fact that, by that statement, the one saying it is calling Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala a liar and is denying the Qur'aan, for He says: "And whoever seeks a religion other than the religion of Islaam, then it will never be accepted of him" and, "The religion with Allah is Islaam".
Likewise, it consequently results in him declaring the Prophet, 'alayhis-salaatu was-salaam a liar, for it is narrated authenticly from him, 'alayhis-salatu was-salaam the abrogation of all other religions other than Islaam for he, after seeing a page of the Torah in the hand of Ameer al-Mu`mineen, 'Umar bin al-Khattaab, radiallahu 'anh became very angry and said, "Are you in doubt O Son of al-Khattaab?" and in another wording, "Are you confused by it, O Ibn al-Khattaab? I have come with it [religion] clear and white, and by Allah if my brother Moosa was alive, he wouldn't have had choice except to follow me". Abu Hurayrah, radiallahu 'anh narrates the he said: "Some people from the companions of the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam used to write the Torah, so they mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam, so he said: 'The peak of stupidity and misguidance is found in a people who went to other than what their Messenger came with".
So it is clear, from these texts that I have mentioned and their like from what I didn't, the aborgation and falsehood any religion other than the religion of Islaam, and how strange it is that some the leaders of the Muslims are justifying this false view, and openly declare in their summits that they call to brotherhood amongst the heavenly Abrahaimic faiths.
Is it possible for a sane Muslim to assume that there is any other eternal religion other than Islaam, after they had been abrogated by the Sharee'ah of Muhammed, 'alayhis-salatu was-salam. Knowing that, Abrahamic faiths like Judaism and Christianity have been infiltrated with additions, alterations and removals, due to what the clerics of evil and misguidance did. The Most High says, "So woe to those who write the book with their own hand and then say, this is from Allah, to purchase with it a small gain". He also said, "Who then sent down the Book which Moosa brought, a light and a guidance to mankind which you (the Jews) have made into (separate) papersheets, disclosing (some of it) and concealing (much).". And yet, despite this changing and alteration that occured, it was still abrogated by the Sharee'ah of Muhammed, 'alayhis-salaatu was-salam and it declared them false.
We ask Allah, subhaanah to grant victory to His religion and to raise His word, and peace and blessings be upon Muhammed, his family and companions.

Alhamduillah the brothers didn't let Maher pray at Al Quds. These people have no shame. They killing muslims and then they come to pray.
