Islamic Anasheed (Madaha)" الأناشيد الإسلامية "

Al-Allaama Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen -rahimahullaah

س/ هل يجوز للرجال الإنشاد الجماعي؟ و هل يجوز مع الإنشاد الضرب بالدف لهم؟ و هل الإنشاد جائز في غير الأعياد والأفراح؟

ج/ الإنشاد الإسلامي إنشاد مبتدع، يشبه ما اتبدعته الصوفية، ولهذا ينبغي العدول إلى مواعظ الكتاب و السنة/ اللهم إلا أن يكون في مواطن الحرب ليستعان به على الإقدام، والجهاد في سبيل الله تعالى فهذا حسن. وإذا اجتمع معه الدف كان أبعد عن الصواب.

فتاوى الشيخ محمد بن عثيمين، جمع أشرف عبدالمقصود (134)

Q) Is it permissible for men to sing Anasheed in groups? And is it permissible to sing Anasheed with the beating of Duff? Are Anasheed permissible on other than the 'Eids and wedding ceremonies?


A) 'Islamic' Anasheed are Anasheed mubtad'i (innovated). It is imitation of what the Soofiyyah innovated, for this reason it is for us to return back to the teachings of Kitaab and Sunnah. O Allaah, were it that this had occured during harb (war) then it would motivate courage and Jihaad Fee Sabeelillaah, then this is hasan (good). And if the duff is used, then this is going even further away from what is correct.

Fatwaa As-Shaykh Muhammad bin Uthaymeen.

يجب ترك البدع : It is obligated to abandon Bid'ah

Shaykh 'Abdul 'Azeez ibn Baaz (rahimahullaah) said:

وكل بدعة وكل ضلالة وكل منهج يخالف شرع الله يجب تركه ويجب أن يسيرالناس جميعا ً على المنهج الذي سار عليه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في حياته ، ثم سار عليه صحابته والخلفاء الراشدون من بعده ثم تابعهم الأئمة المهتدون والسلف الصالحون، تابعوهم على المنهج القويم، والصراط المستقيم.
هذا هو المنهج الذي يجب الأخذ به والتمسك به، والسير عليه . والدعوة إليه وكل ما يخالف ذلك مما أحدثه الناس يجب أن يترك وأن يرفض مع البيان والإيضاح حتى لا يهلك هالك إلا عن بينة

Every Bid'ah and every misguidance and every manhaj that opposes the Shar'ia of Allaah then it is waajib to abandon them. It is waajib to call all the all of the people to be upon the manhaj on which the Messenger (sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam) was upon during his lifetime, and after that on which his companions and the Rightly Guided Caliphs after him and those who followed them, the Imaams of guidance, and the righteous Salaf were upon. The manhaj al qaweem on which those who followed them were upon, the Siraat al-Mustaqeem.

This is the manhaj that it is waajib to hold on to and cling on to, and traverse upon. And every one of those who opposes this of which the people has innovated then it is waajib to abandon and reject them, clarifying them with a clear clarification up until no ones is destroyed except with evidence.

علامات أهل البدع The Signs of the Ahlul Bid'ah

قال الإمام ابن عثيمين رحمه الله :

Shaykh Saleh al-Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah) said:

لأهل البدع علامات ، منها :

(1) أنهم يتصفون بغير الإسلام والسنة، بما يحدثونه من البدع ، القولية ، والفعلية ، والعقدية .

(2) أنهم يتعصبون لآرائهم ، فلا يرجعون إلى الحق وإن تبين لهم .

(3) أنهم يكرهون أئمة الإسلام والدين .

الفتاوى : (5/90ـ91

Ahlul Bid'ah (they) have signs:

1) They attribute themselves to other than Islaam and Sunnah, which they have innovated, from Bid'ah : al-Gawliyyah (statements), al-fi'liyyah (actions), al;'aqdiyyah (beliefs).

2) They have bigotry to their opinions, so they do not return back to the haqq if its clarified to them.

3) They have hatred for the Imaams of al-Islaam and Deen.

Is it sufficient for the salafee to know haqq and batil and not refute ahlul ahwa?

Shaykh Rabee' ibn Hadee al-Madkhali (hafidhahullaah)

In these times, is it sufficient for the Salafee to just know haqq (truth) and baatil (falsehood)or is it waajib upon him to refute the Ahlul Ahwa (people of desires) and those who differ from his da’wah (call)?

It is on the Salafee to know the haqq and call to it and clarify it to the people. And to establish this obligation, it is for him to refute baatil, as the Noble Qur’aan clarifies the haqq and refute the baatil at the same time, such as good is mentioned with the mentioning of evil, the Mu’mineen (believers) are mentioned and the Munaafiqeen (hypocrites) are mentioned, the kuffar (disbelievers) are mentioned, the Yahood (Jews) are mentioned, the Nasaara (Christians) are mentioned with their evil. So Islaam is established on these pillars which explains it and establishes Jihaad and ‘amr bil mau’roof (commanding good) and nahee anil munkar (forbidding evil) and refuting falsehood. It would never be established except without this and Islaam would never be established ever except with the establishment of the haqq and exposing and clarifying and criticizing the baatil, and clarifying their ugliness, their evilness, and tahdheer (warn) about this (falsehood) with its people. Any da’wah which does not establish this obligation then it is nothing but a defeated da’wah; dead, carrying the germs of death itself. No da’wah is living except by raising the banner of the haqq and bringing down baatil at the same time.

And this is it what Allaah ta’aala has said:
( كنتم خير أمة أخرجت للناس تأمرون بالمعروف وتنهون عن المنكر )
{You are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you command Al-Ma'roof (i.e. Islaamic Monotheism and all that Islaam has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islaam has forbidden)}

Those who don’t refute the baatil, how would they command good?! How would they forbid evil?! How?! It is like the Jamaa’at at-Tableegh who say they command good but (in reality) they don’t, Tawheed is at the highest rank of good but they do not call the people to it, (as for) Salat (prayers) they do not command the people with the Salat of Muhammad (sallalaahu ‘alaihi wasallam). They claim to command good but (in reality) they do not command good and they do not forbid evil. We ask Allaah’s safety.

So what is the faraq (difference) between you and them if you do not fight bid’ah and misguidance and refute Ahlul Ahwa, what is the faraq between you and them? So if you see the people of misguidance then you are silent on them and in return this increases their masses, you are supporting and encouraging them by being silent on them when they make fasaad (corruption) on Earth! When you see thieves stealing from the houses, then you are silent on them! What is this? Is this commanding good and forbidding evil? So the du’aat (callers) of Ahlul Bid’ah (people of innovation) is worse than thieves, worse than the highway robbers. Ibn Abee Zaid and Ibn’Abdul Birr said: They are worse than the criminal highway robbers, it is waajib to warn from them continuously, and criticize and expose them in front of the people to stay out of them, up until the people leave them.

And because of this there exists many books of the Salaf refuting Ahlul Bid’ah and warning against them, warning against their gatherings, but during these times many from the Muslimoon has left of this ‘asl (foundation): refuting Ahlul Bid’ah and warning from them, and this caused the misguidance to prevail on this Ummah of Islaam, except that a few miskeen who have no power or might are saved from this.

(to be continued inshaa’ Allaah)

Clearing the Doubts- Warning about Ahlul Bid'ah is Gheebah?

الشيخ ابن عثيمين رحمه الله:
الكلام في أهل البدع ومن عندهم أفكار غير سليمة أو منهج غير مستقيم هذا من النصيحة وليس من الغيبة , بل هو من النصيحة لله ولكتابه ولرسوله وللمسلمين , فإذا رأينا أحدا مبتدعا ينشر بدعته فعلينا أن نبين أنه مبتدع , حتى يسلم الناس من شره وإذا رأينا شخص عنده أفكارتخالف ما كان عليه السلف فعلينا أن نبين ذالك , حتى لا يغتر الناس به

Shaykh Saalih al Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah) said:
Speaking about Ahlul Bid'ah who has with them deviant ideologies or who follow other then the correct manhaj, this is from Nasyha and this is not Gheebah. This is from Nasyha to Allaah,to His Book, to His Messengers and to the Muslimoon. If we see an Innovator calling to bid'ah then it is for us to make bayaan of him that he is an innovator, so that the people would know his evil. And if we see an individual who has an ideology which opposes what the Salaf were upon then it is for us to make bayaan of him too, so that the people are not deceived by him.
