Making mockery of the Muslims who adhere to the authentic Sunnah . 29. Giving allegiance to groups and (or) parties irrespective of their creeds and (or) methodologies in the name of “uniting the ummaah .” This kind of “unity” which is not based on the true belief in Tawheed and on the way of the Salaf exemplified by the saying of the Prophet ( sallallaahu aleihi was-ssallam ): “My way and the way of my companions,” is misleading and keeps the ummah divided . 30. Magnifying the civilization of the Kuffaar under the pretext of modernization and development as a reaction to some injustices inflicted on some Muslims in their countries. There is nothing better than Islaam, and anything other than Islaam is not accepted to Allaah. The ill practices of some Muslims should not drive to conclusions that the defect is in Islaam. The Muslim is required to persevere under hardships and return to Allaah and not sell his Deen for a worldly gain. 31. Dissent against the Muslim rulers, even if they are ruthless, or oppressors. Islaam calls for patience under such conditions. The believer may give advice to the best of his ability, and deny the wrong in ways that may not lead to more evil. The confrontations with rulers led and continues to lead to bloodshed, divisions, and a bad reputation that hinders the Da’wah for Allaah. This does not mean the acceptance of wrong, neither it is a baseless excuse for advocating the munkar. Rather this is a matter of our creed not an emotional or political view. So hold firm to this matter of your Deen . 32. Following scholastic and philosophical ways, making them the reference for understanding the revealed texts. 33. Taking strange stands towards the Bid’ah and the Mubtadi’ah (innovators), by ignoring and/or making excuses for the justification of their Bida’ for worldly or political gains!
