Walaa' and Baraa' and the Creed of Ahlus Sunnah awl Jammah
  • Ibn Taymiyyah, rahimahullaah, said:


  • "It is upon the Believer to have enmity for Allaah's sake and allegience for Allaah's sake. If the person is a Believer, then it is upon him to show allegience to him; even if he is wronged by him. This is because wrong-doing does not cut-off the allegience [which is required] by faith (al-mawaalaatul-eemaaniyyah).

Allaah, the Most High, said:
  • "And if two parties from amongst the Believers fight each other, then make peace and reconciliation between them."



  •    [Soorah al-Hujuraat 49:9].

The Muslim Must also consider the following:
  • If a Muslim Has in himself both good and evil; obedience and disobedience; righteousness and wickedness; Sunnah and bid'ah; then he is deserving of allegiance and reward in proportion to what he has of good, and he is deserving of enmity and punishment in proportion to what he has of evil.

The people are of three catagories with regards to walaa and baraa:-
    •   Those whom we should sincerely love and have allegience for; showing no enmity towards them whatsoever:    The people of this catagory are the true Believers; the Prophets, the truthful ones, the martyrs, and the righteous.


    • Those whom we should purely hate and have enmity for, without showing love and allegience to them: In this catagory fall the unbelievers, the mushriks, the hypocrites, the apostates and the atheists...


    • Even If Are Relatives:

Allah Says:
  • "You will not find any people who believe in Allaah and the Last day loving those who resist Allaah and His Messenger; even though they were their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their relatives." [Soorah al-Mujaadalah 58:22].


  • "O you who believe! Do not take as intimate friends and protectors your fathers and your brothers, if they love unbelief over faith. And if any do so, then they are the wrong doers." [Soorah at-Tawbah 9:23].

The Last Group of People:
  • Those who are to be loved and shown allegiance to from one angle, but are to be hated and shown enmity to from another angle: In this category fall the sinful and disobedient ones from amongst the Muslims. So we should love due to what they possess of faith (eemaan), and hate them for what they have of sins and disobedience to Allaah; providing such sins are not the greater type of unbelief (kufr) or shirk. Loving them requires sincerely advising them; as well as commanding them with good and forbidding them from evil.
