From the worst of the
beliefs of the innovators, found with the extremist Murji'ah sect, is that they
define and explain al-Emaan to mean recognition of Allaah in the heart alone.
This is undoubtedly corrupt. If one was to
class belief as recognizing that Allaah is a god and that He Exists, then this
would suppose that acts of worship in statements, actions and acts of worship
in the heart are not connected to al-Eemaan at all. We have explained in detail
above that actions and statements are included within the definition of al-Emaan.
But what this innovated definition results in is
that it includes the Jews, despite the fact that they fought and sought to kill
the Prophet until they were expelled and left exiled from their lands, would
also be classed as believers. This is because they recognize that truthfulness of this religion and that the Messenger of Allaah was in fact the Seal of the
Prophets, as Allaah, the Most High Said:
“Those to whom We
gave the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognise him (Muhammad) as they
recongise their sons” [al-Baqarah
2:146]
Worse than this, it would class Fir'awn and his
supporters as being believers, as they recognized and affirmed the correctness of the religion that Moosaa came with:
“And they belied
them wrongfully and arrogantly, though their ownselves were convinced thereof
[i.e. those (Ayat) are from Allah, and Musa (Moses) is the Messenger of
Allah in truth]” [an-Naml 27:14]
And as Moosaa said to Fir'awn:
“"Verily,
you know that these signs have been sent down by none but the Lord of the
heavens and the earth as clear (evidences of Allah's Oneness). And I think you
are, indeed, Oh Fir'awn (Pharaoh) is doomed to destruction!"” [al-Israa' 17: 102]
Even worse than this, it would include Iblees
as being a believer as he recognises and believes that Allaah is the Lord of
all that exists. Allaah, the Most High, Said when describing the series of
events with him:
“[Iblis (Satan)] said: "My Lord! Give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are resurrected” [Saad 38: 79]
And again:
“[Iblis (Satan)] said: "By Your Might, then I will surely mislead them all,” [Saad 38: 82]
