The Illogic of Fitnatul-Whahabiyyah

By jafrbinnuh

Whahabies – A group of people who follow Muhammad Ibn Abdulwhahab. Who in-turn followed the deviant Sheikh-ul-Kufr, Ibn Tamiyyah.

I’m not here to provide extensive arguement and its rebuttal concerning the Whahabiyyah. I am here to point out the reality of the Whahabiyyah’s case. And i will do it in summary form, by simply listing some points, and how the logic they use to interconnect these points is flawed.

The Whahabies say that Allah is above Al-Arsh. firstly, this statement is kufr when taken at literal form, which is the case of the whahabies. They say Allah is also not comparable or ‘like’ anything. … Now, above the Arsh, is an inscription that says “Allah’s Mercy is greater than his Wrath.” Whahabies will not dispute this. And the first error in their logic comes here. They say Allah is above the Arsh, they also say this inscription is above the Arsh. They mean both in the literal stance, ie, they are both phsyiclly above the arsh.

This is an outright comparison to the created things. The statement “Allah is above the Arsh, just as the Inscription is above the Arsh” Does not contradict, in their eyes. The Ayyats In Surah al-Ikhlas where Allah says he is not LIKE anything! This statement completely fits in their creed. It does not contradict the Whahabiyyah creed. But it obviously contradicts the Muslims belief. Because Allah is not similar to anything, part of this meaning is that Allah is not situated in a location. Such as above Al-Arsh.

The problem is that Whahabies are not able to logiclly connect the dots. And they use the statement ‘not like ours’ as a safe guard for their own minds. If they did not have “not like ours” to fall back on, they would go insane.

Lets take a look at another fallacy these Kufar have.

The Whahabiyyah believe Allah has literal figurative hands. No, i did not make a mistake, they believe Allah has “Literally Figurative” hands. They say Allah has hands not like ours. But i say my cat Lizzy, has hands not like ours also. They say Allah is incompariable because he has two right hands. But i can get an operation done that replaces my left hand with another right hand. the problem here is, aside from the obvious comparison. They fail to acknowlage a meaning for the word “Hand”, while at the same time they are adamant at considering the word “Yadd” in arabic to be hand. They say that Yadd MUST be hand, but they will not say that a hand MUST be something.

Lets look at this for a minute. The mind tells us that for something to be something, it must follow a set of attributes. A red ball is infact, only a red ball because red ball has a set of attributes that make it a red ball. Lets look at these attributes.

In order for an object to be a red ball, it must:

- be a ball

- be red

What is a ball?

-must be spherical

-must take up some amount of space, direction.

Now, we have clearly defined what is a red ball. If i get a blue cube…there is no doubt what so ever that it is not a red ball. Likewise, Hand is defined by a set of attributes, the most basic arttibutes are that a hand is:

- a part

- a tool

Both of which are not applicable to Allah. And these attributes are undoubtably what makes up a hand. Now for the problem. Whahabies deny both of these attributes for the hand. Basicly, they are not talking about a hand. They refuse to say that Yadd means other than a hand. But they also refuse to accept the only literal definition for hand. Their logic is flawed because they accept ONLY the literal definition for yadd as hand. But they reject the LITERAL definition for hand. Yes, Its pure insanity. Every ayyat where yadd is mentioned, a viable alternative to hand can fit in the meaning, but Whahabiyyah refuse this. They use a literal logic to say yadd is hand in all cases, but they refuse to use the literal logic on the next part, which is defining that hand.

Ive repeated myself alot in the past paragraph, but i will do it one last time. Insha’Allah

Whahabies believe the only way to interpert Yadd is in the literal sense, by accepting it as “Hand” But they then believe the only way to interpert Hand, is in a non-literal sense.

Subhan’Allah It is very clear the problems with deviant groups today. There is no group that it can be said that the issues about them are grey. Only that our understanding of those issues is grey. when you look at the whole picture, you can see the basic flaws in their belief.

Subhanallah, i also want to add to this disgust, that a brother of mine was in Philidelphia, and there was a school with whahabiyyah children, and THEY WERE DRAWING A BIG MAN WITH TWO RIGHT HANDS A FOOT A SHIN BONE AND A SMILING FACE, AND IT WAS SITTING ABOVE WHAT THE THINK IS THE ARSH..these children refered to this thing as Allah, The Creator of Everything. And that is the result of ignorant people following the likes of Shaikh ul Kufr Ibn Tamiyyah and Muhammad Ibn Abdulwahab. Their children are copies of the hindu children who draw a blue man with an elephant face and call it Ya Rabb.
