Imitating the Disbelievers

All praise and thanks are due to the One who favoured us with Islam, Who granted us sight after blindness, Who guided us from misguidance and bestowed upon us blessings that allow us to abide by the upright and steadfast religion.

Peace and blessings be upon our master, Muhammad, who was sent as a mercy to all of the worlds, as an Imam for the pious and God-fearing, as an intercessor1 for the sinners, as a warner

– warning against imitating the Jews, Christians and Sabians,2 and as a caller to Allah upon firm knowledge with the clearest of proofs. [Peace and blessings be upon him], his family arid all of his Companions.

It is truly distressing to find the ignorant masses losing much [knowledge and understanding] of what the righteous Salaf were upon comprising their holding firm to the Straight Path, their avoiding innovations and their shunning the distinguishing features of the denizens of Hell.

Similarly it is distressing to find the ignorant ones of the Khalef following every sinful, misguided individual. There is no might or movement except with Allah, the Most High, the Great!

That which the Noble Messenger (ii) warned us of has occurred when he said, ‘You will surely follow the ways of those who came before you, in exactly the same fashion, to the point that were they to enter the hole of a lizard, you too would enter it.’

It was asked of him, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Do you mean the Jews and Christians?’ He replied, ‘who else?’5

Meaning who else could I be referring to? The Prophet said, whoever imitates a people is of them.

The Messenger of Allah said, The Jews are those who have anger upon them and the Christians are those who have strayed7.
