Also from the mistakes of the Murji'ah is in
their position connected to the Emaan of the deceased. As people are bound by
the Decree of Allaah, they classify a person as a believer or a disbeliever upon
the state that the person is decreed to die upon.
What this means is that a believer is only
declared as a believer and opposing disbelief on the condition that they die in
a state of belief. They liken this to a person who prays Salaah but nullifies
the prayer before he finishes it, this person is not considered to have prayed.
Based on this objection of theirs they
concluded to believe that if a person who hates al-Islaam and rejects it all
their lives, and they continue to hate it and its people, but they submit to
Islaam and become a believer towards the end of their lives, perhaps even
moments before his death, then this person was actually considered as a
believer all of their lives and thus beloved to Allaah throughout his life, as
they were Decreed as being believers and died in such a state.
This belief is unfounded and the texts of the
Sharee'ah nullify such a stance. The texts describe a believer only becoming a
believer if they reject disbelief, thus there being a difference between the
two points in time, the point of time where he believed and another moment in
time where he disbelieved.
Allaah, the Most High, Said:
“Verily, those
who disbelieved after their Belief and then went on increasing in their
disbelief (i.e. disbelief in the Qur'an and in Prophet Muhammad
) - never will their repentance
be accepted [because they repent only by their tongues and not from their
hearts]. And they are those who are astray.” [aal 'Imraan 3:90]
And the Most High Said:
“Verily, those
who believe, then disbelieve, then believe (again), and (again) disbelieve, and
go on increasing in disbelief; Allah will not forgive them, nor guide them on
the (Right) Way.” [an-Nisaa 4:137]
And the Most High Said:
“That is because
they believed, then disbelieved, therefore their hearts are sealed, so they
understand not.” [al-Munaafiqoon
63: 3]
And the Glorified Said:
“You have
disbelieved after you had believed”
[at-Tawbah 9:66]
