Ahle hadeeth against sectarianism

(أَهْلُ الْحَدِيْثِ خِلاَفَ تَفْرُقَةِ الْأُمَّةِ)

The command of Allah was, وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللهِ جَمِيعًا وَلاَ تَفَرَّقُوْا ‘Wa‘ tasemoo behablilla-hi Jamee‘aon wala tafarraqoo’‘And hold fast all of you together by the rope of Allah and be not divided among yourselves’ (A-le Imran 3/103). But a little after demise of the Prophet (sm), the Muslims involved in grouping and division among them. As a result, the downfall became hastened.

The cause of division among the Muslims basically was four: 1. Inducement of the Jews and Christians. 2. Clash of political interests. 3. Influx of various foreign customs and philosophical thinking. 4. difference of opinion in the explanation of Shari‘ah.

As the first cause, stated above we notice that, during the later part of the Caliphate (23-35 A.H.) of the 3rd caliph Uthman (R), Abdullah bin Saba, the son of a Negro Jewish mother became a Muslim outwardly. (2) Later on, by his evil design two groups of Sabaii and Uthmani were created first among the Muslims. Thereafter, the great caliph Uthman (R) was brutally murdered by the hands of the rebel Sabaii group. Later on, for political conflict between Ali (R) and Mu‘awyah (R), the Kharijites and Shi‘aites groups were originated and by the hands of extremist Kharijites, the 4th caliph Ali (R) was killed. (3) At this time, people of different corners of the world with different creeds began to be converted to Islam. They could not fully shake off their old traditional beliefs and practices which related to their past generations over the ages. As a result, many foreign creed and custom crept into the Muslim society, which later on began to be used as Islamic convention and the followers of those Bid‘ati practices and their oppositions began to be reckoned in different names. (4) In this way various foreign philosophical thoughts also supplied water to create various groups among the Muslims.

For example, during the rule of the Umayyad caliph Abdul Malik Ibnu Marwan (65-86 A.H.), one namely Susan, a Christian of Basra in Iraq, became outwardly a Muslim, but he turned to be a Murtad (apostate) later on. Through his instigation one named Ma‘bad, for the first time created a new order named Qadaria in the Muslim society who deny Taqdeer (fate). Later on, in its opposition there created another deviated order called the Jabrites who were totally fatalist.

In this way, different groups with various opinions created in different times took the form of separate Mazhabs in the latter days. Furthermore, there have been several orders (Tareeqas) and sub-orders among the followers of these Mazhabs. As a result, the history of sectarian division within Islam began to be prolonged as an woeful curse.

But it is a matter of surprise that the followers of all the Mazhabs and Tareeqas stated above, tried to prove their accepted Fatwas (verdicts) from the Quran and Sunnah. Those verses of the Quran and those Hadeethes of the Prophet (sm) would have been in favour of their Mazhab's decision, they would accept them delightfully. But those would have against their views, they would try to explain them indirectly or they would have rejected them claiming as Mansookh (order withdrawn). The Shi‘aites for political gain, have already made about three lacs of fabricated (موضوع) hadeeth in describing the dignity of Ali (R).[1] The so-called Quran created by them known as Mushaf Fatima, against the holy Quran, which is known as Mushaf Uthmanee, is three times bigger, in which they claimed that there was not a single letter of the Quran in vogue.[2] In this way, the supporters of religious and political groups like the Umayyads, Abbassids, Shi‘aites, Hanafees and Shafe‘iis have made how many fabricated hadeeth in pursuit of their own Mazhabs & groups and in protest of their oppositions, that it becomes out of estimation.[3]
