The Religion Of Ibrahim And The Calling Of The Prophets And Messengers
and the Methods of the Transgressing Rulers in Dissolving it and Turning
the Callers Away from it. We present to the English reader, Millat
Ibrāhīm, by the noble Shaykh, Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisī, may Allāh
preserve him. This particular treatise has been an influential and
significant book with many of the contemporary Islāmic groups intent
upon forming an Islāmic state. Herein, the author draws several
parallels between the form of idolatry in the time of the Messenger of
Allāh (PBUH) and that which the apostate regimes have instituted from
fabricated laws and methodologies of falsehood in the lands of the
Muslims, which are the main obstacles to the formation of such a state.
In doing so, he touches upon the very
basis of Tawhīd and the obligation of the slave not only to hold these
false deities with contempt inwardly – be they idols made of stone, or
trees, or stars or the man-made legislations – but outwardly as well.
And while most Muslims are familiar with the concept of having enmity
towards the polytheists (Mushrikīn) and their false deities, within
their hearts, there seems to be a pervasive lack of awareness regarding
the outward enmity and what is required to be demonstrated in terms of
aggression and hostility and warfare. And so, as the author points out,
although most Muslims are aware of certain aspects of the events of
Ibrāhīm’s life, may the blessings of Allāh be upon him, the various
points of his Millah, in terms of his enmity towards the people of Shirk
and Kufr and his taking them and that which they worshipped as enemies,
both inwardly and outwardly, remain unclear to most. Therefore, the
reader is encouraged to pay close attention, throughout the book, to the
Shaykh’s points because, although there are many excellent books
available in English regarding Tawhīd, this particular aspect has not
been covered in the detail that it deserves for the English reader.
As the author mentions in his
introduction, this edition of Millat Ibrāhīm was a follow-up to its
initial publication. And subsequently, the Shaykh has addressed some of
the comments that had been made about the original book and then
included his refutation upon these comments within the introduction to
this second edition. This is a very valuable segment as it provides a
revealing glance into the mindsets of those who have objected to this
subject matter being put forth by the Shaykh, may Allāh preserve him. So
the reader is advised to pay close attention to the points, which the
opposition has raised in relation to this book, as well as to the
accompanying refutation upon these points. And in this way, the reader
will attain a more comprehensive view of the nature of the dispute
between those who call for Millah of Ibrāhīm in its true form, and those
who attempt to restrict its application in our time by means of
diluting it and creating ambiguities and doubts concerning it. And to
Allāh are the grievances.
