Fatwa #3

Sorry for not posting for such a long time. Anyway this is the 3rd fatwa.

Question :
What caused our faith to be cancel?

Answer :

Every human, when they recite shahadatain, they must obey and follow all the rules that has been set. They will be no questioning on the rules that has been clearly stated in the Holy Book (Al-Quran). In Surah Al-Azhab , verse 36 :

"It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path."

So, if someone disobey one or some of the rules, take it easy or making fun on the rules, they are considered 'murtad' (apostation). It is because all the rules that has been stated in the Quran has been strengthen in the Hadith dan revised by ijma' ulama'. So, whoever go against it, that means they go against the Quran And Hadith.

Disobeying the rules means 'kufur', but only for muallaf because they are lack of information and need to be taught and for those who are isolated from information such as in the forest or far from muslimin's community. But in this era, we have a lot of media to deliver message, so all should know the rules, and there are no exception for those who knows and they need to deliver it to those who did not know.

Wallahua'lam

Fatwa #2

People who recite the Syahadah, definitely will go to heaven.

Question :
What if a person during his life, he commit munkar, but at his death, he recite the syahadah?

Answer ;
Whoever dies in Islam, means he declare himself as Islam and recite the Syahadah, he have the chance to be in heaven.

He have the right to be in heavens even if he is not among those who enters heavens earlier (he enters last). This is because, before he can enter heaven, he must be punish in hell for he has done wrong during his life (which he have no ask for forgiveness). But he will not be forever in hell, as he has a bit of iman in his heart. In Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, there’s a hadith :

1) From Abu Dzar R.A , he tells that Rasulullah (PBUH) said : “Whoever recite ‘Laa ilaaha Illallaah’ and then dies, he surely will enters heaven”
2) From Anas R.A, Rasulullah (PBUH) said : “ Those who recite ‘Laa Ilaaha Illallaah’ will come out from hell, even if he have a tiny iman in his heart.”
3) From Anas R.A, he tells that Rasulullah (PBUH) has said that : “Gabriel have come to me and give me a good news, that whoever dies in condition that he did not make allies for Allah S.W.T, he will definitely enters heavens, even if he is thief and have commit adultery” He (PBUH) said this twice.

It is easy to enter heavens. But don’t ever think to recite Syahadah ad commit to Islam when you are about to die or at your golden age. Who knows whether you have the opportunity to do that? And remember, that even thought you are guaranteed to enter heavens, you still have to pay for you have done wrong during your life. Do you want to enter first or last?

So, recite “Laa Ilaaha Illallaah” and ask for His forgiveness while you still have your breath. Think about it.

Fatwa #1

Main requisition to be a Muslim,

Question :
What is the requisition of a Muslim?

Answer :
The main requisition of a Muslim is to recite syahadatain, which is Asyhadu allaa ilaaha illallah, wa asyhadu anna muhammadar rasuulullah. Whoever recite and pledge on it, he is consider Islam. And he have to obey His (Allah's) order, even in the heart, he don't like it. Whatever he have in his heart, it's between him and the Al-Mighty God. The important things is, he perform prayer, fasting, zakat and other obligation.

In history, when Usamah, one of the sahabat, in a battlefield(I don't remember which battlefield), killed a person who have just said "Laa ilaaha ilallaah". Rasulullah (PBUH) blame him and said "You have killed him, when he just said Laa ilaaha ilallaah". Usamah said "He recite it because he was afraid of death". Then Rasulullah (PBUH) said "Do you know what is in his heart?".

In Musnad Al-Imam Ahmad, when the tribe of Tsaqif enters Islam, they make one condition, which is to free them from the obligation of sadaqah and jihad. Rasulullah (PBUH) said : "They will perform sadaqah and jihad". This means whether they like or not, they have to obey it, even there is no Al-Ikhlas (wiliness) in performing it. Wallahua'lam.
