What is the ruling on one who says "I am a communist" without understanding it?
Praise be to Allah.
Words matter according to the great religion of Allah: by means of a
word a person speaks, Allah may raise him in status, and by means of a
word he speaks he may be doomed to Hell.
Allah says (interpretationof the meaning):
"Not a word does he (or she) utter but there is a watcher by him ready
(to record it)" [50:18]
Al-Bukhaari and Muslim narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger
of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: " A person
may speak a word, not realizing whathe is saying, and he will fall
because of it into theFire further than the distance between the East
and West."
Al-Tirmidhi narrated in areport which he classed as saheeh
(authentic), that Bilaal ibn al-Haarith said: I heard the Messenger of
Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: "One of you may
speak aword that pleases Allah, and not know how far it reaches, but
Allah will decree that He is pleasedwith him until the Day he meets
Him. And one of you may speak a word that angers Allah, and not know
how far it reaches, but Allah will decree that He is angry with him,
until the Day he meets Him."
Al-Nasaai narrated from 'Abd-Allah ibn Buraydah that his father said:
the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
said: "Whoever says 'I have nothing to do with Islam' and is lying, he
is as he said, and if he is telling the truth, he will never come back
to Islam soundly."
Communism is a kind of atheism that is based on denial of the
existence of God and veneration of the material, which it regards as
the basis of all things. It does not value religion in general, any
religion. Rather they regard religion as people's problems or as they
say, the opium of the people,meaning that it distracts them from their
materialaims which form the basis of their ideology.
Undoubtedly this is one of the most dangerous kinds of kufr in the
modern age, by which many people have been deceived and which has
persecuted many peopleof religious commitmentand faith.
Undoubtedly what is required of everyone who hears of this ideology
and finds out about it is to reject it and to disavow himself of it
and of its people before Allah. Veneration of this ideology, belief
init, promotion of it or love of it and its people cannot coexist with
faithin the heart of anyone.
The one who joins them when he is aware of them and of the misguidance
that they follow is a disbeliever in Allah the Almighty. If the one
who says these words is ignorant of the basis of their ideology orhas
been deceived by their claims with regard to social and economic
matters and their claims to care for the poor, to help them and to
guarantee their rights, then he must be told of the real nature of
this ideology and the dangerit poses to religious commitment and
faith, and that Allah has made His slaves independent, by means of the
laws that He has revealed to them, of the need for any religion, sect
or ideology other than that.
We suggest that any advice given to those who have been deceivedby
this ideology should be given in a kind and gentle manner, debatingin
a good way and explaining the evidence for that from sharee'ah
(Islamic law). The one who engages in that should have sufficient
understanding of this kafir un-Islamic) ideology and be skilled in
debating and arguing, because most of those who are deceived by this
ideology are very capable in argument and debate.
If he is indeed ignorant of this group and its origins, or he is
ignorantof how it conflicts with the faith that is requiredof people,
then he is excused for his ignorance. But if he persists, after things
are explained to him, then he is a kafir (disbeliever)and an apostate.
We ask Allah to protect our faith and to help us avoid fitnah (trial
and tribulation), both apparent and hidden. - - ▓███▓
