Study Notes

Nawaqid ul Islam

A short treatise outlining 10 actions that nullify a person's Islam.
The 10 actions are not the only ways to nullify Islam.
The treatise aims to caution individuals against these actions, not to declare others non-Muslims.
Ibn Umar narrated a hadith from the Prophet (Peace be upon him): If someone calls their brother a disbeliever, either the speaker or the recipient of the accusation might become a disbeliever, depending on the truthfulness of the accusation.

About the Author

Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab (died 1792 CE/1206 AH).
His father was a scholar.
Became knowledgeable in hadith and Quran before the age of 10.
Born in Najd, Saudi Arabia.
Traveled to Makkah and Iraq to acquire further knowledge.

Why 10 Nullifiers?

These are the most common and dangerous ways to nullify Islam.
Using a number ten is a common and simple way to teach.
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) used numbers to explain teachings.
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) warned against seven major sins.

First Nullifier: Shirk

Associating partners with Allah in worship.
The evidence comes from the Quran.
Performing sacrifices for Jinn or graves is a form of shirk.
Major shirk removes a person from Islam, and minor shirk only removes that particular action.
Major Shirk actions always lead to eternal hellfire.
Minor shirk actions are subject to Allah's judgement; they may enter heaven after any punishment.
Knowing how to identify major vs minor is through studying and learning.

Definition of Shirk

Giving any of Allah's rights to other than Allah.

Differences between Major and Minor Shirk

Major Shirk exits a person from Islam; minor shirk affects the specific action.
In major shirk, all of the person's deeds are invalidated; the blood and wealth become permissible.
Minor shirk only invalidates the specific action.
Only Allah can decide if someone commits minor or major shirk.

How to Identify Shirk

Learning and understanding the concept.
Recognizing when shirk actions begin with "Alif Lam" they are more severe, major shirk.

Muharrammat of Islam

Four types of prohibitions in Islam.
Shirk (worst of the worst)
Minor shirk
Major sins (Kabhiir)
Minor sins are still sinful and disobey Allah.

Hidden Shirk

The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) spoke about the danger of hidden shirk.
Examples are when someone prays in a way to impress others, rather than to serve Allah.

Worship

A comprehensive expression of Allah's love, encompassing any form of speech or action that pleases Allah.
Three types of slaughter: for Allah, for permissible reasons( such as for guests), or for other than Allah (major shirk).

Second Nullifier

Placing intermediaries between humans and Allah (seeking intercession or reliance on them).
This is a form of shirk.
Emphasizing the importance of direct worship of Allah; this is a common shirk, and the Quran rejects this practice.
A rejection of the Islamic belief in the oneness of Allah.

Calling Upon Allah Alone

A direct instruction from Allah to call upon Him.
Responses and answers to prayers.
Importance of obedience and faith in Allah.
The Quran calls people to worship Allah alone and to never worship others, and be humble.

Third Nullifier

Failing to recognize disbelievers (kaafir) as having disbelieved
Doubting the belief of those who are disbelievers.
The importance of acknowledging Allah's messengers and their teachings in determining belief.
Recognizing the necessity of believing Allah and His prophet's pronouncements.
Acknowledging and accepting Allah's judgement in regards to beliefs.

Fourth Nullifier

Believing that any one's judgement is more important than the Prophet's judgement.
Preferring the judgement of false deities over the Prophet's.
Underscoring the importance of the prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) guidance and teachings.

Third Nullifier - Correcting Methodology

Methods for Muslims to use to be able to tell whether they need to accept and follow a belief, or reject it.
Muslims need to follow the teachings of the Prophet (PBUH) since only these beliefs can lead to salvation.
Avoid unifying different religions.

Fifth Nullifier

Hating or rejecting something the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) presented.
Importance of accepting and following the Prophet's guidance.

Sixth Nullifier

Ridiculing Allah's religion, its rewards, or punishments.
Examples of ridicule is mocking religious practices or beliefs, or by making jokes about Islamic values
Punishments for those who mock others beliefs, values or religions.
Importance of respect and reverance for Allah's teachings, religion and messengers.
The seriousness and importance of accepting the Prophet's teachings.
