Are taleban today's kharijiites?

Don’t tell me that TTP and sectarian outfits do not do takfeer (call Kafir to those who say they are Muslim)?

As for reason, who are TTP and these sectarian outfits to declare someone Kafir using their beliefs as reason? Do they consider themselves Allah or Angel has told them that Allah has given them permission to judge people’s faith?

When there are many reasons to consider TTP and sectarian outfits as Kafir … they should worry about their own kufr rather use their kufr beliefs to worry about others? Regardless, reasons do not matter because if we look at reasons then ‘Yazid bin Muawiya’ would have been first known person that Muslims would have called Kafir, but they did not (I do not think even Shais call that laeen Kafir … just because he use to confess from his words that he is Muslim … but what type of Muslim was he … that when he use to do pray darood in Namaz … he was sending Salamti and Barkat to children of prophet (SAW) but outside Salaat was doing everything to harm them … maybe he was not even praying darood in his Namaz, who knows).

Anyhow, people can find many reasons (according to their own beliefs) and apply to every known Muslims and then call them Kafir. If takfeer would have been allowed in Islam, then who knows, may be for some ... even eating Ice-cream would have been kufr as Prophet never ate Ice-cream (that would have been reason for takfeer on people eating Ice-cream), so they would have started doing takfeer on anyone eating Ice-cream according to their reason.

Just imagine, according to Wahabi aqedah (as well as many Deobandis), they give human form to Allah and believe Allah is literally sitting on throne (chair) above sky surrounded by angels and pious [just like Pagans, Greeks, Romans, Trinitarian (Christians), and Hindus do], and that is kufr so I can call all Wahabis kafir on that pretext alone … but I don’t because that would be kufr itself.

Thing is that, a Muslim judges another person's faith from his confession (person saying that he/she is Muslim), but Shaitan and kafirs judge faith of other person according to their personal beliefs (and that is what Takfeeris do).

I use more characters so that people do not misunderstand my post. These days, some people look into ways to misunderstand what is said. Unfortunately, even after using more than 500 characters and using clear words, explaining what I want to say from various angles, still people ask same question … or make comments without understand what is said.

Just imagine … how clearly, with minute detail I explained that why location in ‘Najdi Hadith’ is Najd in central Arabia (with centre point at Riyadh), and still I am sure many would not understand that.

I wrote that drone is doing good job killing ‘dogs of hell’ and you assumed that I am also including innocent children (or innocent adults) who unintentionally got killed by drones, considering them ‘dogs of hell’ too … when certainly I was not, and probably few more words explaining that in my earlier post would not have created confusion and need for my later post with clarification and explanation.

Re: Are taleban today's kharijiites?

Have you ever seen me relying on copy-paste? I always write my own and avoid copy-paste as much as possible, unless it is necessary. And that shows that what I wrote, I know. :)

Re: Are taleban today's kharijiites?

funny how people over simplify and generalize everything to their liking
general perception one gets after reading this thread = deobandis are not sunni
read up a bit technical stuff and beliefs of "sunni" and you will realize that what we call "wahabi" today is actually more sunni in nature than today's barelvis in pakistan/ india

second huge generalization is anyone who used word "kufr" for anyone, irrespective of context, question, background, he's deemed to be takfiri, and hence khariji

seriously? someone can really think that way and then believe that they know!?!?

and then people go all out and mix up islamic terminology to prove their point, which is not really a point but a perception they made with half truths, and custom-made explanation of ahadeese mubarikah

so by now, according to this thread, shia, barelvi, deobandi, salafi all have been declared kafir by one or the other, every member here is an aalim it seems, and knows fully well what they are talking about, sorry state of our affairs really

Re: Are taleban today's kharijiites?

Saleem

i asked for reference not your perception.The one who is using kuffar fatwa is you in this thread and that too with what you perceive those people to be.all i want you is to quote what they actually say.

Ali said, that they call every one other then them as kaffir but never proved this statement or didnt took it back.

[QUOTE]
s far as I am concerned I think Kharijis are those who take the liberty of declaring *every one other than them as kafirs/murtads/mushriqs and hence worthy of death. And those who create fitna in the ummah, so it includes all the jehadists amongst our midst. Unfortunately all jehadists belong to salafists, but I wouldn't take the liberty to put all salafists in this bracket.*

Why it is difficult for you people to either prove your point or accept mistake.

Not to jump in the fray, though I have done it now, but how are "wahabbis" sunnis when they reject abu hanifa and all the people after him and just propose to follow the "salafs" whoever those self exploding salafs were? The mazar culture is debatable but how is blowing up people and forcing religion on them comparable to how islam was spread? Did you know muslims made deals with Christians in Jerusalem and copts in Egypt that allowed them the fast victories that were achieved back in the day? In that sense, Taliban and their supporters are worse than khwarijs.

Re: Are taleban today's kharijiites?

This thread has been interesting. The discussion , though repetitive at times, is read-worthy. One thing that kept on bothering me was the incorrect pronunciation of a very common word.

Saleem bhai, with all due respect, its "fasad" and not "fisad".

Re: Are taleban today’s kharijiites?

:rotfl:at pic.

Re: Are taleban today's kharijiites?

Simply based on calling someone kafir being takfiri, a lot of people and groups are takfiris.

So what?

Not one point Saleem bhai has been able to prove except writing long posts with a lot of material but in the end coming to made up conclusions. :)

Re: Steeped in ancient mysticism, passion of Pakistani Sufis infuriates Taliban

Brother read hadith number 173 and 176 (from Sunnah ibn Majah).

Hadith | Sunan Ibn Majah | The Book of the Sunnah | Chapter No: 1

Hadith no: 173
Narrated / Authority Of: Ibn Abu Awfa
“The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘The Khawarij are the dogs of Hell.’” (Sahih)

Hadith no: 176
Narrated / Authority Of: Abu Ghalib
that Abu Umamah said: “(The Khawarij) are the worst of the slain who are killed under heaven, and the best of the slain are those who were killed by them. Those (Khawarij) are the dogs of Hell. Those people were Muslims but they became disbelievers.” I said: “O Abu Umamah, is that your opinion?” He said: “Rather I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (saw).” (Hasan)
[/QUOTE]

..Agree with the defnation " Dogs of Hell " …but have a problem with this Hadith …

Kharjities did not appear on the Scene until the Battle of the Camels between BiBi Ayesha(RA) and Hazrat Ali (RA) …and that was long after the demise of the prophet (mpuh) …so how come we attribute a Hadith to something that was not there during the prophet (mpuh) time…??

Re: Steeped in ancient mysticism, passion of Pakistani Sufis infuriates Taliban

The basic trait which defined kharijis was not that they were takfiris. Rather it was that they justified killings of those they considered kafir.
This is the very definition of present-day Taliban. This is why Taliban and similar violence-prone extremists are the best representation of kharijis of yester-years.

To Taliban, even those who believe in democracy are kafir. So beware those who vote.

Earlier this week, militants in Hangu circulated a one-page leaflet (picture below) warning residents of the constituency against voting in the by-elections, and terming democracy “against the true spirit of Islam.”
“We want all the people of Hangu tehsil to know that if they enter a polling station during these elections, they will be murdered. If any woman comes out of her home she will be slaughtered,” states the leaflet under the headline “**Beware: Democracy is *Kufr ***(in violation of Islam).”

Re: Steeped in ancient mysticism, passion of Pakistani Sufis infuriates Taliban

Why dont you all agree on a defination or does the defination changes with the situation.

Ok , so does the pak army and police and all other justified killing of the fata people. where is the difference?

Re: Steeped in ancient mysticism, passion of Pakistani Sufis infuriates Taliban

There are hadith which predicted their coming.

Re: Steeped in ancient mysticism, passion of Pakistani Sufis infuriates Taliban

I don't know what do you mean by "you all". Do you mean 'Muslims', or 'non-kharijis'? :)

Killing people after declaring them kafir WAS the most prominent trait of original kharijis.

Another word which is very suitable for Taliban and their extremist brethren is 'Hasheesheen' or 'Assassin'. Just like present day neo-kharijis, the assassins used to go on suicide missions to kill prominent leaders and other personalities.

Re: Steeped in ancient mysticism, passion of Pakistani Sufis infuriates Taliban

People who love to call others kharji and kaffir without knowing what does that mean.

Re: Steeped in ancient mysticism, passion of Pakistani Sufis infuriates Taliban

If you have your definition then others have theirs.
http://www.sunnah.org/aqida/kharijites1.htm

Kharijite principles

a) The declaration of Kufr (unbelief) on Sayyidna Ali, Muawiyyah, and all those who had participated in and agreed to the process of arbitration
b) Takfir (charging with unbelief) of all those who disagreed with them on any theological issues
c) The right to kill any of the above.

Re: Steeped in ancient mysticism, passion of Pakistani Sufis infuriates Taliban

Okay from this definition they do not fall into the “kharijis” mentioned esp the a) part.

Re: Steeped in ancient mysticism, passion of Pakistani Sufis infuriates Taliban

a)they dont do kuffar on any of them, and
b)although most elders of deobandi school disagree with them, i have not seen takfir of them, especialy shaikh taqi usmanis who is vocal against many issue including the issue of democracy who TTP says is kuffar. but still they respect these scholars.

and do you know who can be called khariji based on criteria 1. :wink:

..

Next defination> Please

Re: Are taleban today's kharijiites?

neo- means "new" which I think you do know but you want to beat around the bush. There might be different forms of kharjiites in Pakistan. I consider those who kill on gustakh-e-rasool them as well since Prophet didn't kill people himself when they disrespected him and many of these are "alleged stories".

Taliban and AQ al shabab etc, in today's word, are the biggest group of neo-kharjiites and you can't just beat around the bush because you don't like the facts. I am sure Pakistan army has killed 100,000 FATAians. 20 people per year (isn't that 2000 / ~10 years) is deplorable but the so-called "taliban counterpunch" is A-OK which has killed more Pakistanis like 15-20 times more. This is the reason Pakistan is such a ****hole and America or allah is not to blame for it.

Re: Steeped in ancient mysticism, passion of Pakistani Sufis infuriates Taliban

Still no one knows who they are. That is a fact.

Real culprits almost never get caught even if these criminals openly admit or threat others and continue to do so despite loss of so many lives.

A lot of energies against criminals are being wasted or not being used properly. Time to catch these 'unknown people' (na maloom afraad)

On the other hand people are blaming certain group, spreading hatred of people, to settle scores.

Re: Steeped in ancient mysticism, passion of Pakistani Sufis infuriates Taliban

Three steps:

1- I have said being takfiris by itself is not a crime. Everyone does it. No big issue there.

2- Then, justifyng or preaching the killing of others with different ideas, is plain and simple wrong and to be condemned. Period.

Still that does not mean these hate preachers deserve to die. They need to be CAUGHT and TRIED and then be placed behind bars for an exemplary time period.

(Moreover, anyone can write hateful or threatening letter and stamp someone else’s name on it. The actual writers of these kind of letters need to be found and be made to admit if they indeed wrote threatening letters)

3- Only **“proven murderers” **when caught deserve to be punished harshly or be given death penalty.
