SECTARIANISM AND MISPLACED LOYALTIES  
Words from Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (d.728H) (Rahimahullaah)


Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said:

"Indeed the people of the Sunnah do not follow anyone (unconditionally) other than the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ?alayhi wa sallam); who does not speak from desires, rather it is nothing less than Revelation sent down to him. So it is obligatory to affirm all that he informs, and to obey all that he commands. This status is not given to anyone else from this Ummah. Rather, everyone's statement can be taken or left except for that of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ?alayhi wa sallam). So whoever sets up an individual other than the Messenger of Allaah(sallallaahu ?alayhi wa sallam); such that the one who loves and agrees with him is reckoned to be from Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa?ah, and the one who differs with him is reckoned to be from the people of innovations and sectarianism - as happens with those groups who follow certain Imaams of kalaam (rhetorical speech) - then the person doing so is from the people of innovation, deviation and sectarianism." Majmoo?ul Fataawaa (3/346-347).

He - rahimahullaah - further stated:

"Indeed many - from the people who say such things - follow their desires in this, in order to elevate their egos, or to gain leadership, or whatever is connected to it. Their intention is not to make the Word of Allaah uppermost, nor is it to make the Religion purely for Allaah. Indeed they have hatred for those who oppose them, even if it is a mujtahid (a scholar striving his utmost to arrive at the truth) who is excused and whom Allaah is not angry with. Likewise, they are pleased with those who agree with them - even if it is an ignorant person with evil intentions - who neither has any knowledge or good intent. This leads them to praise those who Allaah and His Messenger have not praise and to censure those whom Allaah and His Messenger have not censured. It also causes them to have walaa? (love and allegiance) and ?adaa (enmity and hatred) based upon their own self-desires and not upon the Religion of Allaah and His Messenger ... So whoever does this will only bring about fitan (trials and tribulations) between the people." Minhaajus-Sunnatin Nabawiyyah (5/225).
