Evidences from Islâmic History for Declaring Takfîr upon the Person Who Says La Ilaha Illallâh
Shaykh'ul Islâm Muhammad bin Abd'il Wahhâb Rahimahullâh1

[The Wars of Riddah (Apostasy) and the Matter of Declaring Takfîr upon the Person Who Utters La Ilaha Illallâh]

When the Arabs obeyed Rasûlullâh Sallallâhu Alayhi wa Sallam, entered the religion of Allâh in crowds, and began fighting against the non-Arabs, Allâhu Taâlâ chose for Rasûlullâh Sallallâhu Alayhi wa Sallam what was with Himself. So, Rasûlullâh Sallallâhu Alayhi wa Sallam passed away after residing in Madinah for ten years. When he passed away, he had preached the message and conveyed the trust. After this, the famous Riddah occurred.

The reason for this is that when Rasûlullâh Sallallâhu Alayhi wa Sallam died, most of those who embraced Islâm apostated and a grave trial occurred. Allâhu Taâlâ, made steadfast upon the religion those whom He blessed with being steadfast by means of Abû Bakr as-Siddîq Radiyallâhu Anh. For Abû Bakr as-Siddîq Radiyallâhu Anh resisted in a manner which none from the companions adopted. He reminded them what they had forgotten and taught them what they were ignorant of. He encouraged them when they were afraid. Thus, Allâhu Taâlâ made the religion of Islâm firm with him. May Allâhu Taâlâ make us from those who follow him and follow what his companions undertook.

Allâhu Taâlâ said,

"O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion, Allâh will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allâh, [and never fear of the blame of the blamers. That is the grace of Allâh which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allâh is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower.]2" (al-Mâ'idah 5/54)

Al-Hasan said, "By Allâh, they are Abû Bakr Radiyallâhu Anh and his companions."

Fighting Against the People of Riddah

The form of Riddah was as follows: The Arabs differentiated with regards to their Riddah. A group amongst them returned to worshipping the idols and said, "If he was a prophet, he would not have died!" A group said, "We believe in Allâh, but we do not pray." A group affirmed Islâm and prayed, however, they withheld the Zakâh. Another group bore witness that there is no -true- deity -worthy of worship- except Allâh and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allâh, however, they affirmed Musaylimah with regards to the Nabî Sallallâhu Alayhi wa Sallam making him a partner in prophethood.

This was because Musaylimah brought about witnesses who testified to this with him. Among the witnesses was a man called ar-Rajjâl from the companions of Musaylimah who was renowned for his knowledge and worship. Thus, they confirmed ar-Rajjâl due to what they knew from him regarding knowledge and worship. Some among them[, meaning, some of those] who were steadfast [from them upon their religion, who was Ibnu Amr al-Yashkurî] said [some words] regarding ar-Rajjâl [of which some reads]3,

"O Su'âd al-Fu'âd, daughter of Athâl, my night lengthened due to the trial of ar-Rajjâl!
[O Su'âd! Indeed, it is from the misfortunes which afflicted you, like the trial of ad-Dajjâl!] 4
He trialed his people with his testification, and Allâh is the Mighty, possessor of strength and power."5

A tribe from the People of Yemen affirmed al-Aswad al-Ansî with regards to his claim of prophethood.

A tribe affirmed Tulayhah al-Asadî.

None of the companions doubted regarding the Kufr and the obligation of waging war against those whom we have mentioned except for those who withheld the Zakâh. When Abû Bakr Radiyallâhu Anh was determined to fight them, it was said to him, "How can we fight them while Rasûlullâh Sallallâhu Alayhi wa Sallam said, "I have been commanded that I should fight against people till they testify that there is no -true- deity -worthy of worship- except Allâh. When they say this, they safeguard from me their blood and wealth. Except for its (Islâm's) right."6 Abû Bakr Radiyallâhu Anh said, "For verily, Zakâh is from amongst its [La Ilaha Illallâh's]7 rights. By Allâh, if they withhold a cord used for hobbling the feet of a camel, they would give to Rasûlullâh Sallallâhu Alayhi wa Sallam, I would fight against them because of withholding it."8

Therefore, the doubt of the companions Radiyallâhu Anhum was removed[, they realized that Allâh expanded the breast of Abû Bakr to fight,]9 and they realized the obligation of fighting against them. Then they fought against them and Allâh helped the companions against them. Thus, they killed whom they killed and took their womenfolk and families as slaves.]

(Ibnu Hajar al-Asqalânî, al-Isâbah, 5/125) When his poetry reached the followers of Musaylimah, they wanted to capture him, however, he fled to Madînah. Thereafter, he joined the military campaign against them alongside Khâlid bin Walîd Radiyallâhu Anh (Abû Mûsâ ar-Ru'aynî, al-Jâmi, 4/275)

[The Most Important Thing Upon the Muslim is Differentiating Between Tawhîd and Shirk]

Today, amongst the most important issues for the Muslim is to ponder upon this story that Allâh made from among His proofs upon His creation until the day of resurrection.

So, whoever truly ponders upon this story, especially when he recognizes that Allâh has made this story well-known amongst the laymen, that the scholars have made consensus about Abû Bakr Radiyallâhu Anh being correct in this matter and accounted Abû Bakr Radiyallâhu Anh not refraining from fighting them, rather, immediately fighting them from amongst the greatest of his virtues and his knowledge...

The scholars recognized the abundance of Abû Bakr Radiyallâhu Anh's comprehension through his deduction against the companions with the evidence that was problematic for them. So, Abû Bakr Radiyallâhu Anh refuted them with their very evidence alongside the matter being clarified in the Qur'ân and the Sunnah.

As for the Qur'ân, it is the statement of Allâhu Taâlâ,

"And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give Zakâh, let them (go) on their way." (at-Tawbah, 9/5)

It was related in the two Sahîh's (of al-Bukhârî and Muslim) on the authority of Rasûlullâh Sallallâhu Alayhi wa Sallam that he said,

"I have been commanded that I should fight against people till they testify that there is no -true- deity -worthy of worship- except Allâh, that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allâh, pray the prayers, and give the Zakâh. When they fulfill this, they have safeguarded from me their blood and wealth. Except for the right of Islâm. And their reckoning is with Allâhu Taâlâ."10

So, this is the Book of Allâh clear for the dull-witted laymen, this is the speech of the Messenger of Allâh Sallallâhu Alayhi wa Sallam, and this is the consensus of the scholars whom I have mentioned to you. [Who after them do you desire? After them, there exists only extreme deviation or the seduction of every rebellious devil.]11

[The Person Who Utters La Ilaha Illallâh and Contradicts It]

That which will make you understand this is knowing its opposite, which is the statement by the scholars of our era, "Whoever utters La Ilaha Illallâh is a Muslim; his wealth and blood is unlawful to take, Takfîr is not declared upon him nor will he be fought against." They even profess this regarding the Bedouins who deny the resurrection, reject [all of]12 the rulings of the Sharî'ah, deem their invalid Sharî'ah the right of Allâh. If one of these Bedouins wanted his opponent to be judged according to the Sharî'ah of Allâh, then they will account it from the worst actions. Rather, in general, they disbelieve in the Qur'ân from its beginning to its end, they disbelieve in the entirety of the religion of the Rasûl Sallallâhu Alayhi wa Sallam, although they affirm these with their tongues and also affirm that their Sharî'ah invented by their fathers is disbelieving in the Sharî'ah of Allâh.

The scholars of today confess all of these and say, "They have nothing to do with Islâm. [However, whoever utters La Ilaha Illallâh is a Muslim whose wealth and blood is unlawful to take. This is so, even if he has nothing to do with Islâm.]13"

The laymen acquired this opinion from their scholars. Thereby, they rejected what Allâh and His Messenger clarified. Rather, they declared Takfîr upon those who confirmed Allâh and His Messenger in this matter, and said, "Whoever declares Takfîr upon a Muslim has disbelieved." According to them, a Muslim is one who has nothing to do with Islâm, except that he says La Ilaha Illallâh with his tongue. Such person is the furthest of people with regards to comprehending it and verifying what it requires in terms of knowledge, creed, and action.

[The Most Important Matter upon the Legally Responsible Is the Issue of Kufr and Islâm]

So, may Allâh have mercy upon you, (when you ponder upon this,) know that this matter is the most important of all things upon you. This is because this issue is Kufr and Islâm. If you confirm them, then you have disbelieved in what Allâh revealed to His Messenger Sallallâhu Alayhi wa Sallam, as we have mentioned to you from the Qur'ân, the Sunnah, and the consensus. If you confirm Allâh and His Messenger, then they become your enemy and declare Takfîr upon you.

This evident disbelief in the Qur'ân and the Messenger regarding this matter became widespread on earth, its east and its west, and only the few of the very few have been saved from it.

If you aspire to enter paradise and fear hellfire, then seek this matter, study it from the Book and the Sunnah, and revise it. Do not neglect seeking it because there is a great need for it and it is the matter of Islâm and Kufr, and say, "O Allâh!.. Inspire me to guidance, [protect me from the evil of myself,]14 make me understand regarding You, teach me knowledge from Yourself, and protect me from the misleading trials as long as You allow me to live."

Frequently invoke with the supplication that is authentically reported from the Messenger of Allâh Sallallâhu Alayhi wa Sallam that he used to invoke with in prayer. The invocation is as follows, "O Allâh! Lord of Jibrîl, Mîkâîl, and Isrâfîl, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, the knower of the unseen and the seen! You decide amongst the servants concerning their differences. Guide me -with Your permission- in what they disagree upon to the truth, for it is You Who guides whom He wills to the Straight Path."15

Due to the dire need for it, we will increase the issue in clarification and evidences. So we say:

[Evidences for Declaring Takfîr upon The Person Who Says La Ilaha Illallâh]

[The First Evidence: Banû Hanîfah]

The wise person should comprehend one narrative from these clarifications and evidences! The narrative is as follows: Banû Hanîfah was the most famous among the people of apostasy. They are the ones from the people of apostasy known by the laymen and are the worst amongst the people of apostasy and the most severe with regards to Kufr in the sight of people. Alongside this, they testified that there is no -true- deity -worthy of worship- except Allâh and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allâh, called the Adhân, and prayed. Most of them deemed that the Nabî Sallallâhu Alayhi wa Sallam commanded them with this (affirming Musaylimah) due to the testification of the witnesses alongside ar-Rajjâl.

The one who knows this and does not doubt regarding it says, "Whoever says La Ilaha Illallâh is a Muslim, even if he does not have anything to do with Islâm, moreover, even if he leaves Islâm and intentionally makes fun of it."

So, glory to be Allâh, the One who turns the hearts [and sights]16 as He wishes. How can the knowledge of Banû Hanîfah's disbelief -while their state was as we mentioned- and the Bedouins being Muslim because they say La Ilaha Illallâh, even if they leave Islâm in its entirety, reject it, and intentionally mock it, come together in the heart of the one who has an intellect, even if he is from the most ignorant of people? However, I bear witness that Allâh has power over everything. We ask Allâh to make our hearts steadfast upon His religion, to not diverge our hearts after He has guided us, and to bestow us mercy from Himself. Indeed, He is the One Who Bestows.
