The Noble Quran English Translation of the Meaning and
Commentary, by the Islamic University at Madina Munawwar made a fatwa which forbids a Muslim to stay
in a non Islamic country. Today, we see Muslims leaving their Islamic countries,
emigrating to those non-Islamic-Western.
On pg 95, it says,
“What is said about residence, (staying) in the land of Ash-Shirk (polytheism)
i.e. the land where polytheism is practiced). Narrated Samurah bin Jundub (r.a)
Allah’s Messenger said “Anybody (from among the Muslims) who meets, gathers
together, lives, and stays (permanently) with a Mushirik (polytheist or a
disbeliever in the Oneness of Allah, etc) and agrees to his ways, opinion etc,
and enjoys his living with him (Mushrik) then he (that Muslim) is like him
(Mushirik). (This hadith indicates that
a Muslim should not stay in a non-Muslim country, he must emigrate to a Muslim
country, where Islam is practiced).”
Most of the Western countries are not Islamic, how do
Muslims abide to this hadith? In dilemma? What was the world view of the
composer and narrator of the hadith?
I pity for the Muslims who are now emigrating to non-Islamic
countries seeking asylum due to the political instabilities in their Islamic
countries, meanwhile the fatwa forbids them to go there.
