Understanding the Spread of Takfeeri Ideology: Causes and Consequences

The Reasons Behind the Spread of Takfeeri Ideology

THE REASONS THAT ALLOW THE SPREAD OF THE TAKFEERI IDEOLOGY:

1) Ignorance of the religion;

if you see Syed Qutb, you will never find a chain of scholars. You will find that their upbringing and background have no relation with scholars and their knowledge.

Ibn Taymiyyah said:

❝The issue with the innovators is that their problem is compounded with 2 things:

• ignorance of religion
• oppression

They innovate an innovation that opposes the quraan, sunnah & the ijmaa’ of the ummah; and then they make takfeer of those who oppose them(in this innovation of theirs) ❞ 

2) Following the desires, turning away from the nusūs(textual evidence). They will never say قال الله وقال الرسول (Allah said & the Messenger ﷺ said)

3) False and corrupt interpretation of the texts. Even if they bring something from Quraan and sunnah, they will interpret it in a faasid(corrupt) way. 

Ad DahHaak Al Hilaali rahimahullāh said: 

❝The people of Nahrawaan (i.e, khawarij) took verses that were revealed for ahlul kitaab and placed it on the Muslims.❞ 

Even the tabi’een had a hard time with these people. 

4) Deceptions of shytaan. 

Ibn al Jawzi said:

❝The trickery of iblees is on these individuals who did what they wanted to do in their situations and they believed that Ali ibn Abi Talib is upon mistake, and they started to believe that mujahireen and ansaar who are with Ali are upon mistake, and they(the khawarij) are upon the truth;

And they made the blood of the children permissible for themselves(i.e, to kill them);

(although) they believe it is impermissible for them to eat what has fallen from a tree(because it is someone else’s wealth & not theirs) .

THIS IS THE TALBEES(DECEPTION) OF IBLEES.❞
