There is a movie coming out called Noah - for anyone who does not know this is the messenger Nuh alayhis-salam. He is one of the mightiest messengers of Allah, one of the five who Allah raised above the rest of the prophets and messengers in the Quran. He is the first messenger ever sent to the people and he preached tawheed for almost a thousand years. His people mocked at him and called him names, very few of them believed in his message of tawheed yet he carried on and called them in the morning, at night, in secret and in the open. On the day of judgement when the people are suffering immense pain and anguish, they will run to Nuh alayhis-salam and ask him to intercede with Allah to start the judgement. Nuh alayhis-salam and his story are one of the signs of Allah. He is amongst the best of the creation and will be in the highest levels of jannah. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon Nuh. If you pay money and take time out to go and watch this movie, in which one of the mightiest messengers of Allah is shown, some of the greatest signs of Allah - the ark and the flood, are shown, then I seriously fear for your emaan. Do not take the deen of Allah in jest. This movie is not a joke. You will be playing with your Islam. Before anyone comes along with the rubbish of its only a movie or its nothing serious, read what Allah tells us in Sura At-Tawbah: And if you were to ask them, they would say: Surely we were only jesting and playing. Say: Was it Allah, His Verses, or His Messenger you were mocking? Make no mistake, verily you have disbelieved after your belief. Further Explanation...... The event that led to the revelation of this Verse was what happened with a group of people who were with the Messenger (sallallaahu alayhe wa sallam) during the Battle of Tabook. They were Muslims. During a gathering they began to say, We have not seen the likes these reciters of ours, the most untruthful tongues, the greediest stomachs, the most cowardly in the face of the enemy… They were referring to the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhe wa sallam) and his Companions. Amongst them was a young man from the Companions who became enraged at this speech and went to convey what this group was saying to the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhe wa sallam). He found that the revelation had preceded him (in informing the Messenger). So then the group came apologizing once they heard that the Messenger had become aware of what happened in their gathering. One of them was hanging on to the front harness of the Prophets she-camel while he (sallallaahu alayhe wa sallam) was riding it, saying, O Messenger of Allah! We were just talking loosely to help pass the time during the journey! We did not intend mockery, rather we only intended to joke. The Messenger (sallallaahu alayhe wa sallam) would not even look at him, he only recited upon him this Verse: And if you were to ask them, they would say: Surely we were only jesting and playing. Say: Was it Allah, His Verses, or His Messenger you were mocking? Make no mistake, verily you have disbelieved after your belief. Notice His Statement, Verily you have disbelieved after your belief. This proves that before they had uttered words (of mockery) they were Muslims, and that when they uttered them they apostated from Islam, even though they were saying that it was a joke. This is because the affairs of the Religion are not to be played with, so Allah had declared them to be disbelievers after their faith. We ask Allah for safety. This is also proof that whoever insults Allah, His Messenger, His Book, anything from the Quran, or anything from the Sunnah of the Messenger (sallallaahu alayhe wa sallam) apostates from Islam, even if he was joking. Where are those who say that he does not apostate unless he intends it in his heart? They say, If a person insulted Allah, the Messenger, or the Quran, we do not pass a judgement upon based merely on his utterance or his action. Where do they get these statements and these specifications from? Allah has judged them with apostasy while they were saying: We were jesting and playing. They were believers in Allah and His Messenger, people of tawheed, however, once they uttered those words, Allah said: Verily you have disbelieved after your belief. [3] And He did not say, If you had truly believed that. We ask Allah for safety. So it is obligatory that things are put in their proper places and that we do not add things, take them away, or specify the texts from our own selves. Allah did not ask about what they believed, nor did He mention that they believed (what they said), rather He ruled on them with apostasy after having faith: Verily you have disbelieved after your belief. [3] He based this (ruling) on a statement. He based this (ruling) on mockery, and He did not specify it with these specifications. If a person speaks with a word of disbelief without being forced into it, then he is judged with apostasy. However, if he was forced [6], then he has not apostated in this case.
