Belief, Dought & clear,- * Is it permissible for ordinary people to label as a kaafir one who reviles Islam, without referring to the scholars concerning that?

Share ::-

Is it permissible for ordinary people, if they hear someone reviling Allah or Islam or the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) to label him a kaafir without referring to the scholars?.
-
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
There is no doubt that reviling Allah, may He be exalted – Allah forbid – or reviling His Messenger or His religion – Allah forbid – comes under the heading of disbelief in Allah the Almighty. The one who does that has committed major kufr that puts one beyond the pale of Islam. If he dies in that state without having repented from it, then he will be one of the people of Hell who will abide therein for all eternity.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The scholars are unanimously and definitively agreed that if a Muslim reviles Islam, or criticises it, or he reviles the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), or criticises or mocks him, then he is an apostate and a kaafir and it is permissible to sentence him to death and seize his wealth.
End quote fromFataawa Noor ‘ala ad-Darbby Ibn Baaz, p. 139
Shaykh Ibn Jibreen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
What is the ruling on one who reviles Allah and His Religion? What is the expiation for that? Please note that the man concerned is married; does his wife become haraam for him or is she divorced?
He replied:
There is no doubt that this is apostasy from Islam and disbelief in Allah for which the person who does it deserves to be sentenced to death unless he repents; his wife is divorced from him and his ties of kinship with his relatives are severed, so he does not inherit from them and they do not inherit from him. But if he repents, regrets it, prays for forgiveness and acknowledges his mistake, Allah will accept his repentance and he can take his wife back if her ‘iddah has not ended; if it has ended then it is up to her, and it is not permissible for him to take her back except with her consent.
End quote fromFataawa Islamiyyah, 3/533
Secondly:
If a person hears someone clearly reviling Allah, or shar‘i proof is established to that effect, then there is nothing wrong with him believing that this person is a kaafir. This is the most abhorrent and serious kind of reviling, and no one does that except one who has gone far astray and has no respect for Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, or one who has lost his mind and does not know what he is saying.
This kind of reviling is not one of the obscure issues that need a ruling from the scholars or need to be subjected to examination; rather it is something very clear and obvious that can be recognised by ignorant and knowledgeable alike, and old and young will be disgusted by it.
But at the same time it is essential to bear in mind the shar‘i purpose behind denouncing that and regarding it as repugnant, which is to remove and ward off that evil and to strive to make the one who said it repent and come back to his Lord, even if he has apostatised and gone beyond the pale of Islam. Asking the apostate to repent is something that is well known and well established. So efforts should be made to exhort him in a manner that is appropriate to his situation, explaining the abhorrent nature of what he has done and to discuss with him the shar‘i way that is appropriate to his situation.
The scholars of the Standing Committee said:
Reviling Islam – Allah forbid – is kufr according to the texts and scholarly consensus. Allah, may He be exalted, said (interpretation of the meaning):
“Was it at Allah, and His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and His Messenger (SAW) that you were mocking?
Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after you had believed”
[at-Tawbah 9:65].
And there are other similar texts.
It is essential to advise him and denounce him for that; if he responds, praise be to Allah, otherwise it is not permissible to initiate the greeting of salaam with one who has reviled Islam, or to return his greeting if he initiates the greeting; it is not permissible to accept his invitation and he must be shunned completely until he repents or until the ruling of Allah, which is to be sentenced to death, is carried out on him by the authorities, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever changes his religion, execute him.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari in hisSaheeh, 3017.
End quote fromFataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah, 2/12
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
If a person repents from any sin, even if that was reviling Islam, his repentance will be accepted, if he fulfils the conditions that we have mentioned. However it should be noted that a word may constitute kufr or apostasy, but the one who utters it does not (necessarily) become a kaafir thereby, because of the presence of some factor that prevents him being labelled as a kaafir. In the case of this man who said that he reviled Islam in a moment of anger, we say to him: If your anger was so severe that you did not know what you were saying, and you did not know whether you were in the sky or on the ground, and you said something without thinking and not knowing what you were saying, there is no ruling that is applicable to these words and you are not to be labelled an apostate, because this is something that was said involuntarily and without thinking, and if anything is said involuntarily and without meaning to, Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, will not bring one to account for it. Allah, may He be exalted, says concerning vows (interpretation of the meaning):“Allah will not call you to account for that which is unintentional in your oaths, but He will call you to account for that which your hearts have earned” [al-Baqarah 2:225].

Belief, Dought & clear,- * Does the soul come out of the body during sleep?

Share ::-

Does the soul come out of the person when he is asleep, because sometimes just before I go to sleep, I feel that my soul is coming out of my body; I do not hear anything or see anything or feel anything at all for a few seconds, then it comes back and I wake up and am aware of everything.
-
Praise be to Allah.
There is clear evidence in the Qur’an and Sunnah which indicates that the soul is taken when one falls asleep, and that sleep is a kind of death. This evidence includes the following:
1.
Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“It is Allah Who takes away the souls at the time of their death, and those that die not during their sleep. He keeps those (souls) for which He has ordained death and sends the rest for a term appointed. Verily, in this are signs for a people who think deeply”
[az-Zumar 39:42].
2.
And He, may He be glorified, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“It is He, Who takes your souls by night (when you are asleep), and has knowledge of all that you have done by day”
[al-An‘aam 6:60].
3.
It was narrated from Abu Qataadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when they slept and missed the prayer, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Verily Allah took your souls when He willed, and He returned them when He willed.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 7474
4.
It was narrated that Abu Juhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was on a journey during which they slept until the sun rose. He said: “Verily you were dead and Allah returned your souls to you; whoever sleeps and misses a prayer, let him offer it when he wakes up, and whoever forgets a prayer, let him offer it when he remembers.”
Narrated by Abu Ya‘la inal-Musnad, 2/192; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani inIrwa’ al-Ghaleel, 1/293
5.
It was narrated from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) woke up, he would say: “Al-hamdu Lillahi alladhi ahyaana ba‘da ma amaatanaa wa ilayhi an-nushoor(Praise be to Allah Who has given us life after He caused us to die, and to Him will be the resurrection).”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6312. It was also narrated by Muslim in hisSaheeh, 2711, from al-Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him).
This evidence was quoted by al-Haafiz Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him), who then said:
The verse indicates that sleep is a death, and the hadeeth indicates when a person sleeps his soul is taken. They both indicate that the soul that is taken in death is the soul that is taken during sleep.
End quote fromFath al-Baariby Ibn Rajab, 3/325
But the taking of the soul in sleep does not necessarily mean that it is completely separated from the body, as happens in death; rather the fact that the life remains in the body during sleep indicates that the soul is still connected to the body during sleep, but the connection is less than the connection when it is awake. Not every departure of the soul from the body implies death; rather what happens to the body differs according to the type of separation.
Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The taking of the soul from the body does not necessarily mean that it has departed from the body altogether; rather it may be taken whilst some kind of connection is still present, as in the case of one who is sleeping.
End quote fromFath al-Baari, by Ibn Rajab, 3/326
For other scholarly opinions on this issue, please seeal-Jaami‘ li Ahkaam al-Qur’an, by al-Qurtubi, 15/261;Fath al-Baariby Ibn Hajar, 11/114
However what appears to us to be the case is that what you mentioned in your question does not have anything to do with this issue at all; the departure of the soul during sleep only happens when one is actually sleeping, and it does not happen before sleeping as you mention.
Perhaps what is happening to you is a psychological matter or excessive preoccupation with death and the like.
We ask Allah to keep you safe and sound and to put your affairs straight.
And Allah knows best.
