Qardawi – Martyr Bombings and Integration through ‘NEW FIQH’

[Truth Seeker]

Sheikh Al-Qardawi has caused uproar in the UK over his visit to the country this week. The Tabloid newspapers and MP’s have been vocal against the government for allowing the visit, this primarily due to the Islamic view on martyr bombings he restated in an interview.

 

Labour MP Louise Ellman said it would be "an outrage" to let him visit, and create "enormous security problems". The MP accused Dr Al-Qardawi of encouraging women and children to be suicide bombers and seeking the destruction of Israel. Mrs Ellman is calling for his speeches to be monitored. Home Secretary David Blunkett said "We will certainly monitor what he has got to say and what he has got to do," Mr Blunkett further added that if the cleric was shown to be dangerous, he would attempt to ban him.

 

This whole incident raises a number of issues that the West continues to fail with due to the incorrect ideology it applies and propagates, the clearest example being of freedom of speech. This mantra of the West that they pride themselves in shows there biggest contradiction because this incident shows the fundamental disagreements it adherents have to it. This incident highlights freedom of speech is nothing but a contradiction in terms and as with their ideology it is complete false.

 

It is important however that the Muslims are not distracted from a number of issues that have been ignored in the sensationalism of Sheikh Qardawi’s explanation on martyrs.

 

This factor is none other than looking into the event that Sheikh Qardawi presided over and that was the 13th session of the European Council for Fatwa and Research, on the face of it this seems to be a commendable occasion and project that should be supported but when the reality of this venture is exposed it is clear that is nothing but an attempt to dilute Islam and make it palatable to western tastes.

 

This event and the organisers of it have a clear objective for the Muslims in the West and that is Integration and this is to be achieved by reinterpreting Islam – this is also more commonly know as the Fiqh (Islamic Law/Jurisprudence) of Minorities. Sheikh Qardawi, Tariq Ramadan and Dr. Taha Jabir al-Alwani are key proponents of this corrupt Fiqh.

 

President Ahmed Sheikh, President of the Muslim Association of Britain, welcoming the guests on behalf of the Association, spoke of the "great and urgent need for a clear voice to represent Muslims, a voice to present a balanced stance on issues that face them", particularly for Muslims in Europe "in the face of new situations and challenges calling for new interpretations and a new jurisprudence".

 

The proponents of this corrupt Fiqh clearly do not hide the fact they propose the reinterpretation of Islam so that it can be accommodated within the Capitalistic system and therefore acceptable to the West, an example taken from the book that refutes this corrupted Fiqh; The Fiqh of Minorities – A New Fiqh to Subvert Islam clearly highlight its corrupted thought:

 

“A questioner asks, "Is it forbidden (haram) for a Muslim woman to be married to a non Muslim, and what should one do?"

 

For example, the issue of the marriage of Muslim women to a disbeliever. It is clear from the ayah of the Quran that it is not lawful for Muslim women to be married to disbelievers:

 

لاَ هُنَّ حِلٌّ لَهُمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحِلُّونَ لَهُنَّ

 

“They are not lawful for the disbelievers, nor are the disbelievers lawful for them” [TMQ Al-Mumtahinah: 10].

 

This ayah holds one single meaning – that such marriage is considered null and void and holds no value whatsoever.

 

But according to “Minority Fiqh” this answer, needs to be “reworked” by another “reworked” question. So as Taha Jabir al-Alwani mentions:

 

“However according to the “Fiqh of Minorities,” in this particular case the circumstances are as follows:

 

The woman has just converted to Islam and she has a husband and two young kids. The husband is very supportive but is not at this time interested in converting. The woman was told immediately after converting that she had to divorce her husband of 20 years. Within these circumstances the question should have been: Is it worse for a Muslim woman to be married to a non-Muslim husband or for her to leave the religion?

 

The answer is that leaving the religion is much worse, therefore, it is acceptable for her to continue with her marriage and she is responsible before Allah on Judgment Day” [document entitled “Muqadimah fii Fiqh al ‘Aqalliyyat” by Dr Taha Jabir Al-Alwani]

 

Ken Livingstone who also was present at this gathering also understood what this corrupt Fiqh is intending when he stated that he was pleased at the "enormous contribution made by British Muslims, who have reconciled their beliefs and their positive integration, to the mutual benefit of society". Islam is not a belief that can be reconciled with a belief system that is morally and ethically repugnant as clearly the West is yet this is the purpose of the new corrupt Fiqh.

 

Ahmed Sheikh highlights this when he states that this is a "unique opportunity for the new generation to benefit from the wisdom of the two civilisations: Islamic scholarship as symbolised by Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi and the presence of moderate open voices such as that of the Mayor of London, both open to the other and willing to co-operate to achieve the common good, and thus the new generation may benefit from the two civilisations and be of benefit to both".

 

The Kufr have become more open in their plans to destroy Islam and unfortunately some Muslims have reacted incorrectly in defending it by trying to reinterpret it, which will only achieve what the Kufr wish. This clearly is a time where the Muslims must be at the forefront of the defence and propagation of Islam in its unadulterated fashion that Islam requires.

 

This requires the Muslims to build their intellectual and Islamic political strength so that they can clearly challenge the plans of the Kufr with the intellectually correct Ideology of Islam as a complete alternative to their decadent ideology of Capitalism that manifests itself with many contradictions that are not a feature of Islam.
