Unbelief is a Single Community

 

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

والصلاة والسلام على رسوله الامين

In the Name of Allah, the Rahman, the Merciful

ِAllah, holy and exalted is He, says,

وَالَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا بَعۡضُہُمۡ اَوۡلِیَآءُ بَعۡضٍ

ِAnd those who disbelieve—they are friends one of another

(8:73)

یٰۤاَیُّہَا الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الۡیَہُوۡدَ وَالنَّصٰرٰۤی اَوۡلِیَآءَ ۘؔ بَعۡضُہُمۡ اَوۡلِیَآءُ بَعۡضٍ ؕ وَمَنۡ یَّتَوَلَّہُمۡ مِّنۡکُمۡ فَاِنَّہٗ مِنۡہُمۡ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ لَا یَہۡدِی الۡقَوۡمَ الظّٰلِمِیۡنَ

O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. And whoso among you takes them for friends is indeed one of them. Verily, Allah guides not the wrongdoers

(5:51)

The great imams and jurists of Sunni Islam, such as Imams Abu Hanifah, Malik, al-Shafi’i and Ahmad bin Hanbal understood that

‌الكفرُ ‌ملَّةٌ ‌واحدةٌ

“Disbelief is a single community”

Despite their fundamental differences—the Kuffar are all united against Islam and Muslims. Kitabis (Jews and Christians) and non-Kitabis (Hindus, Buddhists, Taoists, Sikhs, Zoroastrians, Pagans, Bahais, Druze, atheists and agnostics) all put aside their differences to unite against Islam and Muslims. This is also true of those heretical cults which claim to be part of the Muslim milieu (Shia, Ismailis, Alawites, Alevis, Bektashis, Yarsanis, Ahmadis, Zikris, Mehdavis, NOI, AROPL, etc.), they often ally with or become the instruments of the Kafir nations to harm and weaken the Muslim Ummah. Once again, this is true of those individuals who identify as Muslim but subscribe to foreign political ideologies that are diametrically opposes to Islam, such as communism, secular liberalism, feminism, or some extreme form of ethnic nationalism or fascism. Believe it or not, today there are even “Muslims” who are Zionists and openly support the Zionist State which is ethnically cleansing the Palestinian Muslims!

The extraordinary unity that is achieved by such varying communities of Unbelievers, whose theological differences are insurmountable, is motivated by their common hatred and fear for Islam. This is indeed a divine proof that of all the countless religions and philosophies in the world Islam alone is the Truth. The Devil is the author of every heresy and the doctrine of every false religion. So he too is the one who whispers into the minds of their adherents to come together in opposition to Islam. Heretical and dangerous minorities within the Muslim world often call out to the powerful Kafir nations of the West to come to their aid or grant them asylum. This is especially true of the homosexuals—the so-called LGBTQ community. Homosexuals in general, meaning their political leaders, are often at the forefront of Islamophobic and anti-Muslim activity in the West. Consider Alice Weidel, the leader of the “Far-Right” Alternative fūr Deutschland (AfD) party in Germany, who is very outspoken against the presence of Muslims in Europe. She is a lesbian and is openly in a sexual relationship with a Sri Lankan woman, Sarah Bossard. For a party that is supposedly opposed to the presence of foreigners, especially non-Whites, in Germany and seeks to revive traditional Christian values, is it not strange that they have made a lesbian, whose partner is a Sri Lankan woman, their leader? It is not at all strange when you unveil the reality of all these supposedly White Christian nationalist and traditionalist, conservative parties and movements in the West—the only thing they really care about is removing the presence of Islam. If the Devil is their bedfellow (literally and figuratively) so be it!

There are some foolish Muslims who are convinced it is necessary to form some sort of political alliance with factions of the Unbelievers. They are deluded and have neglected what Allah says in the Holy Quran. In the name of liberating and supporting Palestine, will they ally with factions that also wish to see Palestine become a land of secular, liberal, Western style democracy or socialism? A land of moral degeneracy, God forbid, where homosexuality is tolerated, where the Shari strictures concerning women such as veiling and segregation are done away with? Allah, holy and exalted is He, says:

وَلَنۡ تَرۡضٰی عَنۡکَ الۡیَہُوۡدُ وَلَا النَّصٰرٰی حَتّٰی تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَہُمۡ

And never will the Jews and the Christians be pleased with you till you follow their creed

(2:120)

Verily, it is disturbing to me to see the Palestinian cause apparently being championed by leftists of all sorts, atheists, secularist Jews and worst of all homosexualists. If these factions have momentarily expressed their sympathy with the oppressed Palestinian Muslims, it is not purely out of humanitarian sentiment but part of a nefarious agenda to penetrate their ideas and values into the broader Muslim world. The slaughter and shedding of Muslim blood by the Kuffar, especially right now by the Zionists who have murdered about a hundred thousand Palestinians since October 2023, does not upset me as much as their diabolical scheme to corrupt the souls of innumerable Muslims with their culture and values.
