Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab said: Know that the things that nullify
Islam are TEN
Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab, may Allah have mercy on him, gathered ten actions
that negate one's Islam (Nawaqid ul-'Ashr), the eighth one of which states: "Assisting
the disbelievers (against the believers) (Mudhaharatul Mushrikeen) and supporting them
against the believers (is from the actions that negates of one's faith). The Proof being the
statement of Allah, "And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya', then surely he is one
of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and
wrong-doers and unjust). (The Quran 5:51)."
FIRST: Polytheism, which is worshipping other gods besides the One true
God, Allah [4:48; 5:72]
Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship, but He
forgives except that (anything else) to whom He pleases, and whoever sets up partners
with Allah in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin. (An-Nisa 4:48)
whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for
him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers)
there are no helpers. (Al-Ma'idah 5:72)
Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only. And those who
take Auliya' (protectors and helpers) besides Him (say) : "We worship them only that
they may bring us near to Allah." Verily, Allah will judge between them concerning that
wherein they differ. Truly, Allah guides not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever. (Az-
Zumar 39:3)
If you invoke (or call upon) them, they hear not your call, and if (in case) they were to
hear, they could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the Day of Resurrection, they
will disown your worshipping them. And none can inform you (O Muhammad SAW) like
Him Who is the All Knower (of each and everything)[]. (Fatir 35:14)
THIRD: he commits Kufr whoever does not apply the Kufr principle upon
polytheists, or whoever doubts that polytheists are infidels, or whoever
corrects polytheists’ path. [3:19; 3:85]
Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam. Those who were given the Scripture (Jews and
Christians) did not differ except, out of mutual jealousy, after knowledge had come to
them. And whoever disbelieves in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations,
etc.) of Allah, then surely, Allah is Swift in calling to account. (Aali Imran 3:19)
And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in
the Hereafter he will be one of the losers. (Aali Imran 3:85)
Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light. The prophets who
submitted [to Allah] judged by it for the Jews, as did the rabbis and scholars by that with
which they were entrusted of the Scripture of Allah, and they were witnesses thereto. So
do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a small price. And
whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the
disbelievers. (Al-Ma'idah 5:44) [Sahih International]
That is because they hate that which Allah has sent down (this Qur'an and Islamic laws,
etc.), so He has made their deeds fruitless. (Muhammad 47:9)
If you ask them (about this), they declare: "We were only talking idly and joking." Say:
"Was it at Allah, and His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
and His Messenger (SAW) that you were mocking?" (At-Tawbah 9:65)
Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after you had believed. If We pardon some of you,
We will punish others amongst you because they were Mujrimun (disbelievers,
polytheists, sinners, criminals, etc.). (At-Tawbah 9:66)
They followed what the Shayatin (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of
Sulaiman (Solomon). Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the Shayatin (devils) disbelieved,
teaching men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Harut
and Marut, but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) till they had
said, "We are only for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us)." And from
these (angels) people learn that by which they cause separation between man and his
wife, but they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's Leave. And they learn that
which harms them and profits them not. And indeed they knew that the buyers of it
(magic) would have no share in the Hereafter. And how bad indeed was that for which
they sold their ownselves, if they but knew. (Al-Baqarah 2:102)
O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya' (friends, protectors,
helpers, etc.), they are but Auliya' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as
Auliya', then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the
Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust). (Al-Ma'idah 5:51)
Do they then seek the judgement of (the Days of) Ignorance? And who is better in
judgement than Allah for a people who have firm Faith. (Al-Ma'idah 5:50)
And who does more wrong than he who is reminded of the Ayat (proofs, evidences,
verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of his Lord, then he turns aside there from?
Verily, We shall exact retribution from the Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists,
sinners, etc.). (As-Sajdah 32:22)
