Be warned from reading Sayyid Qutb's In the Shade of the Qur`an  

Aboo Bakr as-Siddeeq (radiallaahu 'anhu) was asked a question about an ayah from the Book of Allaah and he said in reply, "Which earth will carry me? Which sky will shade me? If I say about an ayah from the Book of Allaah other than what Allaah, the Perfect and Most High, intended." [At-Tabari 1:78]  

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymin (rahimahullaah) was asked about the books of Sayyid Qutb, particularly Fi Thilalil-Quran (In the Shade of the Qur`an) and Ma'alim fit-Tariq (Milestones).  

The shaikh answered:
quote:
"My statement - may Allaah bless you - is that whoever is sincere to Allaah, His Messenger, and his brother Muslims, then he should encourage the people to read the books of those who have preceded us, from the books of tafsir (explanation of the Qur`an) and other than (the books of) tafsir. These books contain more blessings, are more beneficial and are much better than the books of the later ones. As for the tafsir of Sayyid Qutb - may Allaah have mercy upon him - then it contains great calamities, however we hope that Allaah pardons him. It contains great calamities..."
[From the Cassette: Aqwaal ul-Ulamaa Fee Ibtaal Qawaa`id wa Maqaalaat Adnaan Ar'oor, and checked by Shaikh Ibn Uthaimeen himself on 24/4/1421H.]  

Shaikh 'Abdullaah bin Muhammad as-Dawaish in his book Al-Mawrid uz-Zilaal fit-Tanbeeh alaa Akhtaa'a az-Zilaal
quote:
counted in Qutb's tafseer 181 errors in 'aqidah.

Here are some of Qutb's errors in 'aqidah:

- Qutb believed in the evil, Kufr-laden ideology of [url=http://www.salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=6&Topic=2616&srow=21&erow=40&CFID=17125150&CFTOKEN=50645263]wahdatul wujood[/url] [Aoodhubillaah!], which Shaikh Ahmad an-Najmee (rahimahullaah) called the "greatest of kufr," and about which Shaikh al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah) said: even Iblees himself distinguished between The Creator and His creations

Shaikh Muhammad Amaan al-Jaamee (rahimahullaah) said,
quote:
The book ath-thilaal of Sayyid Qutb is a tafseer that is not a tafseer based upon narrations, not a tafseer from the language. Rather it is a composition containing a confused mixture of the ideas of the Ash'arees, the ideas of "Wahdatul Wujood" and the ideas of the Soofees, and he was an Ash'aree about which there is no dispute.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Shaikh Muwaffiq-ud-Deen (Ibn Qudaamah, rahimahullaah) has mentioned the forbiddance of looking into the books of innovators and he stated:
quote:
"The Salaf used to forbid others from sitting with the innovators, looking into their books and listening to their speech."
(Al-Adaab-ush- Shara'eeyah (1/232))

[url=http://www.salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?forum=9&topic=7904]Prohibition of Sitting with, Listening to, Reading material of People of Innovation[/url]

So dear brothers and sisters, don't risk your religion. Instead, read the authentic tafaasir, such as Ibn Kahthir's Tafsir, which is translated - walillaah il Hamd- or Tafsir al-Baghawee or Tafsir As-Sa'dee, or Tafsir al-Qurtubi. These are authentic, and are based upon pure Qur`an and Sunnah upon the understanding of the salaf-us-saleh.

BaraakAllaahu fikum.

Moosaa    -- 20-12-2009 @ 3:47 PM
  Jazaak Allaahu khayran for the nice gathering of statements of the scholars.  I hope that this post will reach people who need to read it and that they will receive it with open hearts...

I need to point out one important point about what is commonly understood to be the "translation of the Tafseer of Ibn Katheer" in English (published by Daar as-Salaam):

quote:
...When quoting from a tah-theeb (an abridgment and/or re-writing, possibly with additions), like al-Misbaah al-Muneer of al-Mubaarakfooree [a re-writing of Tafseer Ibn Katheer], you quote the muhath-thib, the one who changed the book (al-Mubaarakfooree in this case), not the author of the original book he altered [Ibn Katheer in this case]. This is also the best approach when quoting from a mukhtasir (summarized version), as well...
Source: http://www.salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=10&Topic=7675

Secondly, as far as the tafseers you mentioned being "authentic", it needs to be understood that although they are among the best tafseers available in Arabic, by knowledgable authors who had every right to compose a book of tafseer, based on what is required from someone who writes tafseer (completely unlike Sayyid Qutb from the very foundation), they contain some opinions which can be disputed and some narrations which can be criticized and rejected.  So there is stil a need for a critical approach to those passages and people who can identify weak narrations.

quote:
...read the authentic tafaasir, such as Ibn Kahthir's Tafsir, which is translated - walillaah il Hamd- or Tafsir al-Baghawee or Tafsir As-Sa'dee, or Tafsir al-Qurtubi. These are authentic, and are based upon pure Qur`an and Sunnah upon the understanding of the salaf-us-saleh...
Your words are accurate, describing them as authentic, and you have spoken well.  However, I felt the need to make this point clear, as maybe some people might not have understood exactly what you intended - the most authentic books of tafseer available, "based upon pure Qur`an and Sunnah upon the understanding of the salaf-us-saleh," not that everything in them is 100% correct.

May Allaah Most High bless you.

  There's a hadith in At-Tirmidhi, narrated by Ibn Abbaas:

quote:
Whoever speaks regarding the Qur'an without knowledge, let him take
his seat in the hellfire.


Shaykh Al-Albaanee declared this to be weak (Da'eef At-Tirmidhi #2950)

There's another hadeeth in At-Tirmidhi, narrated by Ibn Abbaas, the end
portion of which is:

...and whoever speaks regarding the Qur'an according to his opinion,
let him take his seat in the hellfire.


Shaykh Al-Albaanee declared this to be weak (Da'eef At-Tirmidhi #2951)

Al-Hamdulillaah. Jazakum Allaahu khairun wa baarakAllaahu fikum, ya ikhwaan. BaarakAllaahu fik, ya Moosa for that important clarification. That was beneficial, maa shaa` Allaah.

Some of the genuine students of knowledge in this area - may Allaah reward them - have relayed from the righteous 'ulemma (may Allaah have mercy on those who have died, and preserve those still living) the dangers of Qutb's tafsir, and the evil results of it. Furthermore, the students of knowledge have relayed that deviants such as Adh-Dhawahiri admitted that the point of reference for their actions was Qutb's books, seemingly oblivious to the statement of the Messenger of Allaah (salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam):
quote:
"I am leaving you two things and you will never go astray as long as you cling to them - they are the Book of Allaah and my Sunnah."
[Reported by Al- Haakim - Sahih].

Wallaahu musta'aan (Allaah's Help is sought!).

One of the students even mentioned just last month in Camden, N.J. that al-'Awlaki admitted to reading Qutb's Fi Thilalil-Quran while in prison, and favoring it over Tafsir Ibn Kathir.  

Wallaahu musta'aan (Allaah's Help is sought!).

Deviating from the Tafseer of the Sahaaba and Tabi'een - to that which opposes it - is Bid'ah  

Aboo Bakr as-Siddeeq (radiallaahu 'anhu) said:
quote:
"Which earth will carry me? Which sky will shade me? If I say about an ayah from the Book of Allaah other than what Allaah, the Perfect and Most High, intended."
[At-Tabari 1:78]

'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ud (radiallaahu 'anhu) said:
quote:
"Verily, we emulate and do not initiate, and we follow and do not innovate."
[Al-Laalikaa`ee in Usoolul-I'tiqaad (1/86)]  

Imaam al-Awzaa'ee (d.157H, rahimahullaah) said:
quote:
"Patiently restrict yourself to the Sunnah and stop where the people (Salaf-us-saleh) stopped, say what they said, and avoid what they avoided. Take the path of your Salaf-us-saleh, for indeed, what was sufficient for them is sufficient for you."
[It is related by al-Aujurree in ash-Sharee'ah (p. 58), and also by al-Bayhaqee in Madkhal ilas-Sunnan (no. 233).]  


Imaam al-Awzaa'ee (d.157H, rahimahullaah) said:
quote:
"Adhere to the narrations of the Salaf, even if the people were to abandon you. And Beware of the opinions of people, no matter how much they beautify it with speech."



Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d.241H, rahimahullaah) said:
quote:
"The fundamentals of the Sunnah with us are clinging to that which the companions of the Messenger of Allaah (salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) were upon, taking them as examples to be followed, avoiding innovations, for every innovation is a misguidance."
[Refer to Usool-us-Sunnah (p.5) of Imaam Ahmad.]  


Shaykh-ul-Islaam ibn Taymiyyah (d.728H, rahimahullaah) said:
quote:
"Whoever deviates from the Madhhab and Tafseer of the Sahaaba and Tabi'een to that which opposes it, then he has erred in that - rather (he has) innovated."
[Refer to Majmoo' al-Fataawa v.13, p.361]  


Ibn 'Abdul-Hadee (d.748H, rahimahullaah) said:
quote:
"It is not permissible to invent an interpretation about a verse or a Sunnah which was not found in the time of the Salaf, if they did not have any knowledge concerning it, and if they did not explain it to the Ummah. Since this would imply that the Salaf (Prophet and companions, tabi'een) were ignorant of the truth in this matter and failed to reach it, whereas the late-coming opponent is somehow guided to the truth!"
[Refer to as-Saarimul-Munkee (p.427).]    


Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim (d.751H, rahimahullaah) said:
quote:
"Inventing an explanation with regards to the Book of Allaah - [an explanation] which the Salaf and the scholars are in opposition to - necessitates one of two things: either the explanation itself is a mistake, or that the sayings of the Salaf - which differ with such a saying - are in error! And no one who possesses even an ounce of intellect would doubt that the one whose saying is in opposition to that of the Salaf, then he is the one who is in error [not the Salaf]."
[Refer to Mukhtasirus-Sawaa'iqil-Mursalah (2/128).]

If I said anything correct, then it is from Allaah (subhanahu wa taa'ala), and if I erred, then that is from me and shaytan.

Interpreting the Qur`aan to your own circumstances

Excerpt: Shaikh 'Ubaid al-Jabiree (hafidhahullaah) said:
quote:
Do not ponder and reflect on something you do not know the meaning of, whether it is a hadeeth or an Ayah of the Qur`aan because Allaah doesn't burden a soul with more than it can handle, and do not busy yourself with this kind of reflection as it may lead to some whisperings. Rather, you should ask the people of knowledge about the ayaat of the Qur`aan and the prophetic hadeeth of the Sunnah and the people of knowledge will guide you to the correct understanding and that which is hidden from the meaning that you cannot understand and they will clarify this for you.

Tafseer Ibn Katheer or Fee Dhilaal-il-Qur`aan?

Question: Al-Ahdal said: "A summary of Tafseer Ibn Katheer can be found in the tafseer Fee Dhilaal-il-Qur`aan (of Sayyid Qutb)."

Excerpts from the answer of Imaam Muqbil bin Haadee Al-Waadi'ee (rahimahullaah):  

quote:
Then let him bring us ten or twenty hadeeths with their chains of narration in the tafseer Adh-Dhilaal. Or let him bring us one example of where (Sayyid Qutb) declares a hadeeth authentic or weak! And let him show us where the 'Aqeedah of the Salaf is in the tafseer, Adh-Dhilaal. Rather, the majority of what is in Adh-Dhilaal is from the (individual) ideologies of Sayyid Qutb.


quote:
As for Tafseer Ibn Katheer, then Imaam Ash-Shawkaanee said about it:
quote:
"His tafseer is from the best of tafseers, if not THE best."
  

As-Suyootee said in Tabaqaat-ul-Huffaadh:
quote:
"His [Ibn Katheer's] is from the best of tafseers."


He [Ibn Katheer] interpreted the Qur`aan with the Qur`aan, and he has interpreted the Qur`aan with the Sunnah. He has interpreted the Qur`aan with the statements of the Salaf, and he has interpreted the Qur`aan with the Arabic language. Then he authenticated and weakened (reports) and mentioned which ahaadeeth had no basis (i.e. source). And he refuted those who use some of these ahaadeeth as proof (for their views) by showing that they are not authentic.


And regarding the deviance of 'Abdullaah Al-Ahdal, Imam Muqbil (rahimahullaah) said:  

quote:
And 'Abdullaah bin Faysal Al-Ahdal will die (i.e. his da'wah) ı the one who launches attacks against Ahlus-Sunnah. And we say to him: "Where is your attack against the Sufis, who have transgressed so much so that they supplicate and seek assistance from other than Allaah? Have you called the people to destroy and demolish the shrines (graves) in al-Hawta, and in al-'Aynaat, and those which are in Shihr itself?

So I must say: It is as if the Devil has deceived you. So it is as if you are prepared to (only) wage war against Ahlus-Sunnah. However, Ahlus-Sunnah give no importance to you. And if it were not that I were encouraged and requested by others to make a refutation against you, I would not have refuted you. ...

The people know 'Abdullaah Al-Ahdal and what he is upon from deviation and misguidance...

Amma ba'd

And from this beneficial post of Shaykh 'Ubayd al-Jaabiree's refutation of Sayyid Qutb, even more errors of Qutb are relayed for the benefit of the Ummah, such as:

- Qutb's mockery of the Prophets! [Aoodhubillaah!]

- Qutb's claim that Islam is a mixture of Communism and Christianity! [Aoodhubillaah!]

- Qutb's calling for the abolition of parts of the Sharee'ah! [Aoodhubillaah!]

- Qutb's takfeer of Mu'awiyah, 'Amr bin al-Aas, Abu Sufyaan and the Bani Umayyah (radiallaahu 'anhum)! [Aoodhubillaah!]

- Qutb's denial of al-'Uluww and al-Istiwaa` and al-'Arsh upon the way of the Jahmiyyah [Aoodhubillaah!]

[These will be added to the first post, in sha` Allaah, so that whoever wants to present all these proofs to someone may do so in one post.]

Other noteworthy statements from that beneficial audio and post:  

quote:
Perhaps this was from before, for I used to withhold regarding his tabdee', but I do not doubt that he is a strayer, innovator. And I explicitly stated this two years ago, and I say now: I do not invoke [Allaah for] mercy upon him, and I do not censure the one who makes takfir of him.
  

quote:
As for those who made takfir of him [Qutb], it is mentioned about Shaykh Ismaa'eel al-Ansaaree, the brother of Hammaad al-Ansaaree (rahimahumallaah), that he used to make takfir of Qutb, and this is stated by Shaykh al-'Utaybee himself.


quote:
For this reason Shaykh Ubayd inclines towards takfir of him but witholds out of wara' (fear of Allaah), following Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymin (rahimahullaah) in that.
