The document discusses the relationship between Islam and disbelief (kufr). It makes three key points:
1) Islam is the religion of all prophets, while the specific laws and rulings differ. Islam in its general sense is the worship of God alone.
2) The Jews and Christians knew of Prophet Muhammad but refused to believe in him, despite clear signs. They fought against him and the early Muslims due to arrogance.
3) Historically and presently, the Jews and Christians have been enemies of Muslims. The Quran and hadiths indicate this will continue in the future. There can be no reconciliation between Islam and disbelief.

There can be no convergence between Islaam and infidelity
First Khutbah:
All perfect praise is due to Allaah; I testify that there is nothing worthy of worship except
Allaah and Muhammad is His Slave and Messenger, upon whom may Allaah send salutations
and exult his mention, as well as that of his family and all his Companions.
Allaah sent Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam with Islaam, and all other prophets and
messengers were also sent with this same religion, as Allaah says:
ﺇ ﻥ ﺪ ﻦ ﻋ ﺪ ﻠﻪ ﺈ ﻠ ﻡ
ﹶﺎ ﺍﻟﱠ ِ ﺍﻟﹾِﺳ ِﻨ ﻳ ِ ﱠ ﺍﻟ
which means: “Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allaah is Islaam.” (Aal ‘Imraan: 19). The
call and mission of all prophets and messengers was the same - each of them said to his people,
as Allaah tells us:
ﻠﻪ ﻣ ﻟ ﻜ ﻣ ﺇ ﻟﻪ ﻏ ﺮﻩ
ِﹶ ٍ ﹶﻴ ِﻦﺎ ﹶ ﹸﻢ ﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﱠ ِ ﺍﻋﺎ ﹶﻮ
ﻳ ﻗ ﻡ ﺒﺪ
which means: “O my people! Worship Allaah; you have no deity other than Him.” (Al-A’raaf:
59). Islaam in its general definition (i.e., worshipping Allaah alone) is the religion of all
prophets, while Islaam in its specific definition (i.e., with all the legislation and rulings with
which Allaah sent Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) is the religion of our Prophet
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, which differs with regards to its legislation and rulings, as Allaah
says:
ﺎ ﺎ ِﻨ ﹰ ِﺮ ﹸﻢﺎ ِﻨﻠﹾ ِ ﹸ ﱟ
ﻟ ﻜ ﻞ ﺟﻌ ﻨ ﻣ ﻜ ﺷ ﻋﺔ ﻭ ﻣ ﻬ ﺟ
which means: “To each of you We prescribed a law and a method (i.e., prior to Islaam).” (Al-
Maa’idah: 48). For example, Allaah legislated for the children of Israel the religious gathering
on Saturdays, and then this was abrogated by the gathering on Fridays. It was mandatory for
them to gather for worship on Saturdays, and then this was changed to Fridays and therefore
doing so on Saturdays became prohibited for them.
Imaam ibn Taymiyyah, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said: “One who rejects the
revelation which Moosaa, peace be upon him, received, which was prior to the revelation of
Islaam to Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is not a Muslim; Likewise, one who does
not accept the revelation with which Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam came is not a
Muslim.”
Allaah sent Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam with the specific Islaam, and Allaah Has
informed the people of the scriptures about the signs and description of Prophet Muhammad
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam with which they would recognise him, as Allaah says:
ﻟﺬ ﻦ ﻳﺘﺒﻌ ﻥ ﺮﺳ ﻝ ﻨﺒﻲ ﺄﻣﻲ ﻟﺬ ﻳﺠﺪ ﻧﻪ ﻣ ﺘ ﺑ ﻋ ﺪﻫ ﻓ ﺘ ﺭ ﺓ ﻭ ﺈ ﺠ ﻞ

which means: “Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find
4. written [i.e. mentioned] in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon
them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good
things and prohibits for them the evil.” (Al-A’raaf: 157).
The people of the scriptures during the time of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam knew
and recognised him as a Prophet, such as Heraclius the Roman leader, as well as others, yet
they refused to believe in him. Not even ten Jews believed in the Prophet Muhammad
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam and had it been that ten of them believed in him, then all the rest
of them would have done so, as the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam stated himself. When
he sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam was sent they became his enemies, and began to fight him and
his followers; they rejected his message and were arrogant, after seeing clear evidences and
having profound knowledge of his message. Allaah says:
ﻭﻟﻤ ﺟ ﺀﻫ ﻛﺘ ﺏ ﻣ ﻋ ﺪ ﻠﻪ ﻣﺼﺪﻕ ﻟﻤ ﻣﻌﻬ ﻭﻛ ﻧ ﻣ ﻗ ﻞ ﻳ ﺘ ﺘﺤ ﻥ ﻋﻠ ﻟﺬ ﻦ

which means: “And when there came to them a Book [i.e. the Qur’an] from Allaah
confirming that which was with them - although before they used to pray for victory against
those who disbelieved - but [then] when there came to them that which they recognized, they
disbelieved in it; so the curse of Allaah will be upon the disbelievers.” (Al-Baqarah: 89).
Among the few Jews who believed was Ka’b ibn Salaam, may Allaah be pleased with him.
The Jews tried to prevent his mission sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam and planned to kill him on
various occasions, such as the tribe of Banu An-Nadheer, and others, who served him poisoned
lamb from which he sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ate; indeed he died during one of the attacks
of fever which resulted from the effect of this poison.
As for the Christians, they had hardly any less enmity towards the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi
wa sallam, and not many of them believed in him. Amongst the few who believed from the
Christians were Waraqah ibn Nawfal and An-Najaashi, may Allaah be pleased with them, but
people like Heraclius, Abu Haarithah ibn ‘Alqamah and the bishop of Najraan they refused to
believe in him, in order to preserve their high positions amongst their people.
Many texts in the Qur’aan and the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam attest to
the enmity that the Jews and Christians have harboured towards the Muslims throughout history
and including the present time. In the past, the Christians amassed two hundred thousand
soldiers in the battle of Mu’tah to fight the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam. They killed
Farwah ibn ‘Aamir may Allaah have mercy upon him, when they discovered that he had
become a Muslim and then nailed his body to a large crucifix. They also killed Saffatir may
Allaah have mercy upon him, who was a bishop prior to his accepting Islaam. Therefore,
history tells us about their clear enmity towards the Muslims. In the present time reality clearly
proves this enmity. As regards to the future, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam informed
us what the Romans will do when he sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said: “They will betray you
and come to you (i.e., for war) with eighty banners, under each of which will be twelve
thousand soldiers.”
5. Thus, this is the nature of the relationship between us Muslims and the worshippers of the cross
– in the past, present and future, as Allaah says:
ﻮﺍ ﹶﺎ ِ ِ ﺍﺳ ِﻳِ ﹸﻢﻦ ﻭ ﹸﻢ ﻰ ﹸﻢ ﹶﺎِﹸﻮ ﺍﹸﻮ ﹶ ﹶﺎ
ﻭﻟ ﻳﺰ ﻟ ﻥ ﻳﻘ ﺗﻠ ﻧﻜ ﺣﺘ ﻳﺮﺩ ﻛ ﻋ ﺩ ﻨﻜ ﺇﻥ ﺘﻄ ﻋ
which means: “And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your
religion if they are able.” (Al-Baqarah: 217). The ruling of Allaah regarding them is very
clear, and that is why He has classified them as infidels in the Qur’aan; He says:
ﻗ ﺗﻠ ﻟﺬ ﻦ ﻟ ﻳ ﻣﻨ ﻥ ﺑ ﻠﻪ ﻭﻟ ﺑ ﻴ ﻡ ﺧﺮ ﻭﻟ ﻳﺤﺮﻣ ﻥ ﻣ ﺣﺮﻡ ﻠﻪ ﻭﺭﺳ ﻟﻪ ﻭﻟ ﻳﺪ ﻨ ﻥ

ﹸ ﹶﺒﻭﺍ ِﻦ ﹶ ﹶ ﹶ ﺍﱠ ِﻳﹶﻮ
which means: “Fight those who do not believe in Allaah or in the Last Day and who do not
consider unlawful what Allaah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not
adopt the religion of truth [i.e. Islaam] from those who were given the Scripture — [fight]
until they give the jizyah (i.e., the protection tax paid to the Muslims) willingly while they are
humbled. The Jews say, “Ezra is the son of Allaah”; and the Christians say, “The Messiah is
the son of Allaah.” That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those
who disbelieved before [them].” (At-Tawbah: 29-30).
Moreover, Allaah has clarified their disbelief in the texts of the Qur’aan, regardless of whether
or not those who refuse to rule them as disbelievers like this fact. Allaah says:
ﻟﻘ ﻛﻔﺮ ﻟﺬ ﻦ ﻗ ﻟ ﺇﻥ ﻠﻪ ﻫﻮ ﻤﺴ ﺢ ﻦ ﻣ ﻳﻢ

which means: “They have certainly disbelieved who say, “Allaah is the Messiah, the son of
Mary.”” (Al-Maa’idah: 72).

which means: “They have certainly disbelieved who say, “Allaah is the third of three (i.e., the
Christian concept of trinity).”” (Al-Maa’idah: 73).

which means: “Say, “O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of
Allaah?” (Aal ‘Imraan: 98). They disbelieved in the message of Prophet Muhammad
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, as Allaah says:
ﻓ ﻠ ﻤ ﺟ ﺀﻫ ﻣ ﻋﺮﻓ ﻛﻔﺮ ﺑﻪ ﻓ ﻠ ﻨﺔ ﻠﻪ ﻋ ﻠ ﻜ ﻓﺮ ﻦ

which means: “but [then] when there came to them that which they recognized, they
disbelieved in it; so the curse of Allaah will be upon the disbelievers.” (Al- Baqarah: 89).
Allaah also says:

6. which means: “Those who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists
were not to be parted [from disbelief] (i.e. from their erroneous beliefs and superstitions.)
until there came to them clear evidence.” (Al- Bayyinah: 1).
Allaah also says:

which means: “O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion (i.e., Such as
attributing divine qualities to certain creations of Allaah or revering them) or say about
Allaah except the truth, The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allaah
and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So
believe in Allaah and His messengers. And do not say, ‘Three;’ desist — it is better for you.
Indeed, Allaah is but one God.” (An- Nisaa’: 171).
Allaah has informed us that most of them are disobedient and sinful; He says:
ﻭ ﺃ ﻥ ﺃ ﺜﺮﻛ ﻓ ﺳ ﻘ ﻥ
ﹸﻢ ْ ﹶﺎ ِ ﹸﻮ ﹶ ﹶ ﱠ ﹶﻛﹾﹶ
which means: “because most of you are defiantly disobedient.” (Al- Maa’idah: 59).
In many Qur'aanic verses they are cursed, and different prophets have cursed them, as Allaah
says:
ﻢﺮ ِ ﻰ ﺍﺑ ِﻴ ﺍ ِ ﺎ ِ ﹶﻰ ﺍِﻴ ﹶ ِﻲ ِﺳ ﻭﺍ ِﻦ ﹶ ﹶ ﺍﱠ ِﻳ ِ ﹸ

which means: “Cursed were those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel by the
tongue of David and of Jesus, the son of Mary.” (Al- Maa’idah: 78).
Them being disbelievers is very evident in the Qur’aan, as Allaah says:
ﺇ ﻥ ﻟ ﺬ ﻦ ﻛ ﻔ ﺮ ﻣ ﺃ ﻞ ﻜ ﺘ ﺏ ﻭ ﻤ ﺮﻛ ﻦ ﻓ ﻧ ﺭ ﺟﻬ ﻨ ﻢ ﺧ ﻟ ﺪ ﻦ ﻓ ﻬ ﺃ ﻟ ﺌ ﻚ ﻫ ﺷ ﺮ

ﺒﺮ ﻳ
which means: “Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the
polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of
creatures.” (Al- Bayyinah: 6).
Indeed, they are the worst of creatures.
