Bismillaah Al-Hamdulillaah wa salatu wa salaamu 'ala rasulullaah Amma ba'd The Danger of Being Ignorant About Polytheism (ash-Shirk)! On the authority of Aboo Waaqid al-Laythi* (radiallaahu 'anhu):
Shaykh Muhammad 'Abdul-Wahhaab [d.AH 1206], rahimahullaah, wrote: "There are numerous benefits to be taken from this story: - It is possible for a laymen and a scholar to fall into polytheism (as-Shirk) unknowingly. - One should learn and study the topic of monotheism (at-Tawheed) diligently. - Whoever says that he has mastered the topic of monotheism, he has reached the epitome of ignorance. - Neglecting the study of monotheism is from the plots of the devil (as-Shaytaan). - If a Muslim makes an honest mistake by making a statement that necessitates disbelief, he does not become a disbeliever because of that statement as long as: 1. He made the statement due to ignorance; [not purposely]. 2. He repents from his statement once it is made clear to him that his statement is a mistake. This is because [Prophet] Moosaa's people and the Companions were not declared disbelievers because of their statements. - Even though a person who makes a statement of disbelief mistakenly doesn't leave the fold of Islam, he should still be firmly scolded; just as the Messenger of Allaah, salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, firmly scolded his Companions ('Abdul-Wahhab 89, 90)." ***** (Al-Fawzaan 103) ****** Compiled and Translated by: Jameel Finch al-Makki; Click for this article and others Umm al-Quraa University Makkah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Thu al-Hijjah 3, 1430 / November 19, 2009 Notes: * Abu Waaqid al-Haarith Maalik al-Laythi [d.AH 68] was from the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah, salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. He is commonly known by the name: Abu Waaqid al-Laythi. He passed away 68 years after the resettling of the Muslims from Makkah to al-Madinah at the age of 85. Radiallaahu 'anhu. [Aadam, Muhammad.
