Exposing the Munaafiqeen (hypocrites) of Britain and those who

call Muslims to participate in Elections

"O Prophet (and Believers), strive hard against the Kuffaar (non-Muslims)
and the Munaafiqeen (Hypocrites [who claim to be Muslim]) and be severely
harsh against them. Their abode will be Hellfire – and worse indeed is that
destination." (EMQ at-Tahreem, 66: 9)

Being harsh, severe and tough with the Munaafiqeen is one of the attributes of the Messenger
Muhammad (saw) and his Companions (ra). Verily, you cannot be a follower of this great
Prophet of Allaah (saw) unless you are harsh with the Kuffaar and the Munaafiqeen.

Thus, Allaah (swt) has made it a duty upon us to expose these people and fight against them
physically, verbally and financially. Nowadays, this obligation of forbidding the munkar (evil
i.e. anything which is alien to Islaam) and exposing the hypocrites is of utmost importance,
especially in light of their collaboration with the enemies of Allaah in order to give Islaam
and the true sincere Muslims a bad name.

For this reason, we have decided to name and shame the hypocrites of Britain - purely for the
sake of Allaah (swt). We are doing this in order for us to make disassociation from them (as
Allaah has ordered us to do) and to warn the Muslim Ummah from these sick, twisted and
evil apostates (Kuffaar). Before we name and shame these evil people, it is vital for us to first
refute the misconceptions and lies which have been spread by them with regards to voting
for man-made law and participating in the Elections of the Kuffaar.

The UK General Elections are set to take place in May 2005, and the Munaafiqeen and Kuffaar
are pressing hard to infiltrating the Muslim community in order to spread their kufr concept
of voting. Nowadays whenever we go to offer Salaat ul-Jumu'ah on a Friday, it feels like we
are visiting a poling station rather than the House of Allaah! We go to the so called Masaajid
(Mosques) to hear about Allaah and his Deen, but instead, we come out learning about how
to become Kaafir by voting for the Kuffaar and the so-called "Muslim" MPs (who are miles
away from being Muslim).

Refuting the lies, misconceptions and arguments which have been spread by the
Munaafiqeen

1. Kufr Argument - If we do not vote how are we going to implement the Sharee'ah?
U U

Firstly, those people who say this are liars! Their worse nightmare is to see the Mujaahideen
in authority and for Allaah's deen to be dominant across the face of this earth! And the best
way to test them is by asking them if they would wish to see the black flag of Islaam over 10
Downing Street/the White House and for Mullah 'Omar or Sheikh Usaamah bin Laaden to be
Ameer ul-Mu'mineen (the leader of the Muslims) – if they do not want this then they are
indeed liars and hypocrites.

Secondly, we thought that you believe that the messenger Muhammad (saw) and his
companions are the best example for us to follow? Do you claim something which you do not
believe in? It appears as though you do! When did the messenger Muhammad (saw) and his
Companions ever vote for the Kuffaar – could you please provide us with evidence from the
Qur'aan and Sunnah?

If you claim that there was no Democratic process, such as voting, during the time of the
messenger Muhammad (saw) then you still must produce evidence from the Qur'aan and
Sunnah to prove that it is allowed. The messenger Muhammad (saw) said:

"Whosoever does an action which is not based upon our teachings is

rejected (will not be accepted by Allaah)." (Riyaad us-Saaliheen, Book 297,
hadeeth #1647)

Therefore, any action which is not based upon the wahie (revelation) is rejected by Allaah
(swt); and any action which Allaah rejects is worthy of severe punishment in the Hereafter.
This statement of, "If we do not vote how are we going to implement the Sharee'ah?" is a
purely Satanic and rational question which is not based upon the divine texts.

We pray the way the messenger Muhammad (saw) used to pray, we perform Hajj the way he
used to perform Hajj, we fast the way he (saw) used to fast, we do Jihaad the way he used to
do Jihaad, and we implement the Sharee'ah the way he implemented the Sharee'ah. He (saw)
never implemented the Sharee'ah by joining the Police Force or Military of the Quraysh, and
neither did he become an MP or vote for any of their tribal rulers.

2. Kufr argument - If we do not vote, racist groups such as the BMP will get into
U U

power and attack Muslims

Subhaan-Allaah, we thought that you were Muslims! Is not Allaah (swt) the one who brings
benefit and prevents harm? Where has your Tawakkul (trust in Allaah) disappeared to all of a
sudden? Did not the messenger Muhammad (saw) say:

"…If you ask, ask Allaah, and if you seek help, seek help from Allaah.
And know, that if a nation was to gather together to benefit you with
anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allaah had
already prescribed for you, and that if they were to gather together to harm
you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allaah had
already prescribed for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have
dried (your destiny has been decreed and it cannot be changed." (Sunan at-
Tirmidhie #2635)

Your destiny has already been decreed by Allaah (swt) and you were supposed to believe in
this from the moment you were a child and your parents taught you the six pillars of
Eemaan…remember? He (swt) also informs us that the Munaafiqeen always ally with the
Kuffaar (by voting for them etc.) and they will always use the excuse, "We may get attacked
or killed (by the BNP for example)." Allaah (swt) says:

"O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Awliyaa'
(friends, protectors, helpers, MPs, representatives etc.), they are but
Awliyaa' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Awliyaa',
then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allaah guides not those people who are
the Zaalimoun (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust)."
"And you see those in whose hearts there is a disease (of hypocrisy), they
hurry to their friendship, saying: 'We fear lest some misfortune of a disaster
U

may befall us (we may get attacked if we do not ally with them).'" (EMQ al-
Maa-idah, 5: 51-52)

Allaah (swt) also informs us in his book that the aim of the Kuffaar is to make you Kaafir, and
that they will never stop fighting you until you leave the fold of Islaam and become a Murtad
(apostate). Allaah (swt) says:

"…And they will never cease fighting you until they turn you back from your
Deen (make you Kaafir), if they can. And whosoever of you turns back from
his Deen and dies as a disbeliever, then his deeds will be lost in this life and
in the Hereafter, and they will be the dwellers of the Fire. They will abide
therein forever." (EMQ al-Baqarah, 2: 217)

Therefore there is no excuse to commit any sin or kufr. We do what Allaah (swt) has ordered
us to do, and abstain from what Allaah (swt) has ordered us to abstain from, regardless of the
consequences. If you are killed for holding on to your Deen, you will die Shaheed – what
more could one ask for!? Furthermore, Allaah (swt) gives us no excuse to leave an obligation
such as Jihaad, let alone to commit a sin or kufr:

"Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the
wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, and
the dwellings in which you delight…are dearer to you than Allaah and His
Messenger, and striving hard and fighting in His Cause, then wait until
Allaah brings about His Decision (torment). And Allaah guides not the
people who are al-Faasiqoun (the voters, rebellious, disobedient to Allaah)."
(EMQ at-Tawbah, 9: 24)

In this verse Allaah (swt) counts all major benefits and interests of man, and declares that
none of them are an excuse to leave Jihaad. Therefore, if Allaah leaves us with no excuse
whatsoever to leave Jihaad, how can we leave Tawheed (by voting for the Kuffaar) which is
an even greater obligation than Jihaad!? At the end of the day, you just don't want to admit
that you are a coward and that you have no evidence from the Qur'aan and Sunnah to vote.

3. Kufr argument - Voting is beneficial for Muslims and reduces harm

U U

Many Munaafiqeen claim that, "The most important aim of Islaamic law is to deter harm and
attain benefit, and voting is a form of deterring harm and attaining benefit…"

Indeed, this is one of the aims of the Sharee'ah – to bring benefit and prevent harm. However,
what the hypocrites have and will always fail to understand is that benefit and harm is not
defined by us, rather it is Allaah (swt) who decides what is benefit and what is harm.
Otherwise, we can say that Ribaa (interest) is very beneficial, and who will dare say no to
this? However, we cannot say that interest is allowed (halaal) due to the fact that it brings
benefit! Likewise, one can say that fornicating has benefit and pleasure! Does that make it
halaal?

Therefore, there is still no excuse to vote, and if you claim that you have scholars such as
Sheikh Haitham Haddad, Sheikh Suhaib Hasan or Sheikh Saalih al-Munajjid etc. who
approve of this form of Istihlaal (legislating law – which is shirk akbar), then you are foolish
to follow such deviant, misguided and corrupted people.

Even if you claim that it is allowed to vote for a certain kufr political party who promises to
withdraw British troops from Muslim lands based upon the principle of preventing harm,
you are still committing kufr, by firstly using your ration (a form of Taaghout – a false God),
and secondly because when you vote, you are choosing a representative. Therefore, whenever
he forbids what is allowed (in Islaam), and permits what is forbidden (in Islaam), you have
chosen for him to do this and given your full consent to his shirk – thus you will leave the
fold of Islaam and become a Kaafir, enemy of Allaah and the Muslims.

4. Kufr argument – Which scholars have said that voting is kufr? Rather, we
have many scholars who say that voting is recommended!

The scholars you follow are Daalleen Mudilleen - they are misguided and they misguide
others. It is not needed for any scholar or so called 'Aalim to tell us that voting is Kufr Akbar,
as it is known from Islaam by necessity. Likewise, we do not need a scholar to tell us that
mortgages, the national lottery or eating stunned meat are haraam – as they are all clear cut
prohibitions in Islaam – just like voting for man-made law.

Those "scholars" who say that it is allowed to vote either do not know what an MP is, or they
are Kaafir for knowing about the reality and still giving baatil (false and invalid) fataawaa.
There are certain conditions for giving fataawaa, such as that the scholar must be a mature,
sane and Muslim. Yusuf al-Qaradaawi, for example, is none of these, rather he is an apostate
therefore all his fataawaa are invalid.

The consequences of voting and participating in Elections

As for those who say that there are benefits in voting, we would like to ask, can there really
be any benefits in committing kufr and shirk!? Which fool can actually believe that there are
benefits in committing Kufr Akbar, Shirk and going to Hellfire forever? This is one of the
attributes of the Kuffaar, who live their lives based upon what benefits them, and
unfortunately we have begun to follow them as the messenger Muhammad (saw)
prophesised over 1400 years ago. Here are some of the consequences of voting for a Kaafir or
Apostate:

1. The one who votes does not know the meaning of Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah

Any hypocrite or person who tries to justify voting is direct proof and evidence that he/she
does not know the meaning of the Shahaadah – Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, Muhammad ar-Rasoul-
Ullaah. And we all know the consequence of this – you become Mushrik or a hypocrite.

If you do not understand the Shahaadah, then you are a Kaafir – in which case it is better for
you to take the Shahaadah and make Ghusl. If you claim that you understand the Shahaadah,
then you are a hypocrite as you testify and say something which you do not believe in and
practice i.e. that Allaah is the only Legislator and none of worthy of worship and obedience
but him!

2. Voting will take one outside the fold of Islaam

3. Voting is one of the greatest sins and will never be forgiven

"Verily, Allaah forgives not that partners should be set up with him in
worship, but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He pleases, and
whoever sets up partners with Allaah in worship, he has indeed invented a
tremendous sin." (EMQ an-Nisaa, 4: 48)

4. Voting leads to eternal abode in Hellfire

"…Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allaah, then Allaah

has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode." (EMQ al-
Maa-idah, 5: 72)

5. Voting abolishes all Hasanaat (good deeds)

"If you join others in worship with Allaah, (then) surely (all) your deeds will
be in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers." (EMQ az-Zumar, 39:
65)
