In a time when the rise of callers to the gates of Hell are inviting Muslims to join them in the Fire selling their religion for worldly gain and promoting allegiance to atheist, secular parties under the false guise of “protecting our rights” clarification is urgently needed. In this fatwa, Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains the Islamic ruling on affiliating with such parties and political entities. Another critical point: the overwhelming majority of those who promote joining political parties and endorsing democratic political participation are from the Murjiah!!! How? Because they claim: - “You can join the secular group, just don’t believe in your HEART that they are right.” Or they say: - “Believe the Shariah is better; this is only a means.” Or: - “Nobody participating actually believes democracy is superior to the Shariah.” All of these are heretical claims only look at whats in the heart and strip actions and statements from Iman!!! Even if a person believes in Islam and that the Shariah is supreme, the action itself is kufr akbar!! This also serves as a refutation against those who claim: - “If he is a secularist but prays, he is still a Muslim” These are the same people who say that someone who prostrates to the sun, the moon, the stars, or worships graves is still a Muslim! STICK WITH THE MAJOR ULAMAH A Muslim must NOT affiliate with any secular political parties whether in the West or elsewhere. - He must not register his name under any of these parties when applying for a ID. ---- 📌Official Fatwa Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGznZB145LE ---- #Islam #Fatwa #ShaykhSalihAlFawzan #PoliticalParties #Democracy #Secularism #Murjiah #Kufr #Apostasy #IslamicRuling #Shariah #Tawheed #IslamicPolitics #Ilm #Fiqh #MuslimUmmah #KufrAkbar #FalseCallers #Refutation #Aqeedah #IslamicLaw
