An Open Letter To El-zakzaky - Dr Ahmad Abubakar by Cyojunior(m): 3:10pm On Dec 16, 2015 |
Dr Ahmad Abubakar Gumi wrote this My
Brother Ibrahim El-Zakzaky: it's not too late to repent. After
registering my condolences to the recent loss of your three
children who were gunned down by some elements in the
military, I find it an obligation to help you see that some of
your actions too are the contributing factors in this
unfortunate avoidable tragedy. What I fear most for you
and your followers is that the consequence of this tragedy
may further alienate your group from the mainstream
society and create a cult -if it's not already one - with
disastrous consequences on you, your followers and the
nation at large. For you especially, on the Day of Judgment
you will have your account to answers. My brother you have
brought a lot of bad innovations among Nigerian Muslims
that rather than unite the Muslims are further entrenching
the divide without any added value to the worldly
development nor the hereafter, but rather with serious
theological implications in the hereafter. What triggered my
attention to your group now is the most recent close
encounter I made with a procession of your followers on
the highway from Kano to Zaria yesterday 8th Dec. 2014 on
my way to Dutse. About four to six thousand youth and
children trekking long distance for hours. I gave a two hour
lecture in Duste and met them still trekking on my way back.
I cannot understand under which civil or religious law gave
you the right and liberty to block one side of the double
carriage road forcing motorists to cramp each other
dangerously on one lane. If your actions is to propagate
your creed, I am telling you, you will only attract the poor
young ignorant miscreants of the society. Never the sane
except of course the disgruntled. The delinquency of your
followers and the disturbance of public peace is what
makes you and them an easy target of the authority. This
happening when you can as well do very well without such
unscrupulous public misbehavior. Disruption of traffic flow
is in fact a sign of unfaithfulness and lack of civilization. In a
Hadith narrated by Muslim, the noble prophet -Alaihis
Salatu was Salam- said: "Faith has seventy something or
sixty something branches. The best of it is the testimony
that there is no diety to worship except Allah and the least
of it is removal of harm from the road and shyness is also a
branch of faith." And Al-bukhari narrated "that the prophet
himself use to remove injurious things and dirt from the
road". All this to make the road and traffic safe and smooth.
This is the good example you should copy. But
unfortunately, instead of that, you are doing exactly the
opposite by blocking roads and forcing vehicles to
dangerously face each other on one lane displaying
arrogance and lawlessness. Young men brandishing knives
and unsheathed swords, beating their chest, carrying
incitful placards and chanting hate songs. How can you be
the good servants of Allah when you are exactly opposite of
what the Quran described them? Allah said: "And the
servants of the Merciful Allah are they who walk on the
earth in humbleness, and when the ignorant address them,
they say: Peace. * And they who pass the night prostrating
themselves before their Lord and standing. * And they who
say: O our Lord! turn away from us the punishment of hell,
surely the punishment thereof is a lasting * Surely it is an
evil abode and (evil) place to stay. * And they who when
they spend, are neither extravagant nor parsimonious, and
(keep) between these the just mean. * And they who do not
call upon another god with Allah and do not slay the soul,
which Allah has forbidden except in the requirements of
law and justice, and (who) do not commit fornication and
he who does this shall find a requital of sin; * The
punishment shall be doubled to him on the day of
resurrection, and he shall abide therein in abasement; *
Except him who repents and believes and does a good
deed; so these are they of whom Allah changes the evil
deeds to good ones; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. * And
whoever repents and does good, he surely turns to Allah a
(goodly) turning. * And they who do not bear witness to
what is false, and when they pass by what is vain, they pass
by nobly. * And they who, when reminded of the
communications of their Lord, do not fall down thereat deaf
and blind. * And they who say: O our Lord! grant us in our
wives and our offspring the joy of our eyes, and make us
guides to those who guard (against evil). * These shall be
rewarded with high places because they were patient, and
shall be met therein with greetings and salutations.*
Abiding therein; goodly the abode and the resting-place."
Q25/ 63-76. How can you be the good servants of Allah
when you call other human beings beside him. We saw your
placards calling: Ya Hussein. Hussein the Son of Ali - May
Allah be pleased with them and all the companions- is dead.
He can never answer your call and he will never. He will also
deny you on the day of Judgment for calling him. The best
you can do for any dead person is to pray for Allah's mercy
upon him. Allah said: "And who is in greater loss than he
who calls besides Allah upon those that will not answer him
till the day of resurrection and they are heedless of their
call? * And when men are gathered together they shall be
their enemies, and shall be deniers of their worshipping
(them)." Q46/5-6 My Brother, you have already lost three
children on this path to perdition and shirk, so please
repent and don't capitalize on the ignorance of our gullible
youth to mislead them. If you don't correct them now,
when you die, Allah will not forgive you for whatever
deviation they may add to yours. "That they may bear their
burdens entirely on the day of resurrection and also of the
burdens of those whom they lead astray without
knowledge; now surely evil is what they bear." Q16/25. My
Brother, I write you this open letter for others also not
necessarily in your sect to get admonition. It is never
intended to trigger a sectarian argument. It's about public
order and mannerism. May Allah guide us all to his pleasure
and give us the courage to revert back to the truth and what
is righteous. Amin |
