The Saying that Imaan is a Single Entity That Is Not Subject to Divisibility Is the Foundation of the Bid'ahs of the Khawaarij and the Murji'ah

Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said (Majmoo' al-Fataawaa 7/223):

وأما قول القائل : إن الإيمان إذا ذهب بعضه ذهب كله فهذا ممنوع وهذا هو الأصل الذي تفرعت عنه البدع في الإيمان فإنهم ظنوا أنه متى ذهب بعضه ذهب كله لم يبق منه شيء . ثم قالت " الخوارج والمعتزلة " : هو مجموع ما أمر الله به ورسوله وهو الإيمان المطلق كما قاله أهل الحديث ; قالوا : فإذا ذهب شيء منه لم يبق مع صاحبه من الإيمان شيء فيخلد في النار وقالت " المرجئة " على اختلاف فرقهم : لا تذهب الكبائر وترك الواجبات الظاهرة شيئا من الإيمان إذ لو ذهب شيء منه لم يبق منه شيء فيكون شيئا واحدا يستوي فيه البر والفاجر ونصوص الرسول وأصحابه تدل على ذهاب بعضه وبقاء بعضه ; كقوله : " { يخرج من النار من كان في قلبه مثقال ذرة من إيمان } " . ولهذا كان " أهل السنة والحديث " على أنه يتفاضل وجمهورهم يقولون : يزيد وينقص

As for the saying of the sayer [that]: "If something of eemaan disappears, then all of it disappears, and this is prohibited." And this is the foundation uopn which the innovations regarding eemaan branched off from. For they thought that when some of it (eemaan) goes, then all of it goes, [that] nothing remains from it.

Then the "Khawaarij and Mu'tazilah" said: It (eemaan) is the entirety of what Allaah and His Messenger have commanded, and it is the absolute eemaan, just as Ahl al-Hadeeth have said. They (the Khawaarij, Mu'tazilah) said, "So when something of it goes, nothing of eemaan remains at all in its [former] possessor, and thus he will remain eternally in the Fire".

And the Murji'ah, upon all of their varying factions, said: "Major sins and abandoning the obligations do not take anything away from eemaan, since if something of it went, then nothing of it would remain, and thus it is a single entity, the righteous and sinful are equal with respect to it".

And the texts of the Messenger and his companions indicate the departing of some of it and the remaining of some of it, such as [in] his saying, "There will leave from the Hellfire one in whose heart is an seed's weight of eemaan", and it is for this reason that Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Hadeeth were upon [the belief] the [the believers in their] eemaan can excel [over each other], and they say, "It (eemaan) increases and decreases".

And this is clear in explaining the creed of Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Hadeeth.

The Foundations of the Bid'ah of the Khawaarij in the Works of Sayyid Qutb

There are many places in the works of Sayyid Qutb where we see the origins of the bid'ah of Khawaarij, but one of the most foundational ones, is this statement here in az-Zilaal (2/798):

إن الإيمان وحدة لا تتجزأ

Indeed, eemaan is a singular (entity), it is not divisible (into parts).

To see this principle at work in the ideology of Sayyid Qutb is in his exaggeration in the issue of Haakimiyyah, leading to Takfir of all Muslim societies upon the earth and calling for a violent revolutionary (Leninist) Jihaad against them. This has been noted about him by the Scholars of Ahl us-Sunnah, as well as prominent figureheads in al-Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen, and also Muhammad Abdul-Lateef as-Subkee, the head of the Committee of Verdicts of the University of al-Azhar, wrote a refutation of "Milestones" in 1965 (will be documented in a separate article). He (Qutb) says (az-Zilaal 2/887-888):

واللّه - سبحانه - يقول : إن المسألة - في هذا كله - مسألة إيمان أو كفر أو إسلام أو جاهلية وشرع أو هوى. وإنه لا وسط في هذا الأمر ولا هدنة ولا صلح! فالمؤمنون هم الذين يحكمون بما أنزل اللّه - لا يخرمون منه حرفا ولا يبدلون منه شيئا - والكافرون الظالمون الفاسقون هم الذين لا يحكمون بما أنزل اللّه. وأنه إما أن يكون الحكام قائمين على شريعة اللّه كاملة فهم في نطاق الإيمان. وإما أن يكونوا قائمين على شريعة أخرى مما لم يأذن به اللّه ، فهم الكافرون الظالمون الفاسقون. وأن الناس إما أن يقبلوا من الحكام والقضاة حكم اللّه وقضاءه في أمورهم فهم مؤمنون .. وإلا فما هم بالمؤمنين .. ولا وسط بين هذا الطريق وذاك ولا حجة ولا معذرة ، ولا احتجاج بمصل

And Allaah, the Sublime, says: Certainly, the [underlying] issue in all of this is the issue of [either] Imaan or kufr, Islaam or jaahiliyyah, and the legislation or the desire. And certainly there is no in-between state in this affair. There is no truce or any treaty (in this affair)! The believers are those who judge by what Allaah has revealed - they do not distort a single letter from it, and nor do they replace any of it whatsoever. And the disbelievers, the oppressors and sinners, they are the ones who do not judge by what Allaah has revealed. Either the rulers are upholding the Sharee'ah in its complete entirety (kaamilatan), and hence they are within the confines of Imaan, or they are upholding other legislations, those for which Allaah has not given any authority. Hence, they are disbelievers, oppressors, and sinners. And either the people [those ruled over] accept the law and decision of Allaah from the rulers and judges in their affairs, so that they are believers ... and if not then they are not believers. And there is no middle path between this path or that path, and nor is their any evidence and nor is there any excuse (ma'dhirah) and nor any seeking to use the excuse of an attainable benefit (maslaha)...

In this quote we see statements which are correct, namely, the obligation to judge by what Allaah has revealed, and to accept it and so on, but mixed with such absolutions and exaggerations that led the Leninist-Takfiris who emerged in the 60s, to make Takfir of all Muslim societies, nations and governments, and all the people within those societies who fall into major sins - see this article from Shaykh Saalih Aal ash-Shaykh on Qutb's exaggeration in that regard.

Regarding what Qutb said right at the very end of negating any excuse, or the excuse of considering a maslahah, where he said, "And there is no middle path between this path or that path, and nor is their any evidence and nor is there any excuse (ma'dhirah) and nor any seeking to use the excuse of an attainable benefit (maslaha)", then Ibn Jibreen considers this legitimate and applicable in a saying of his which can be found here, and it is a statement that on its own has invalidated, demolished and laid to waste the very foundation of Vladimir Lenin's Qutb's revolutionary manhaj by contradicting the very premise upon which Qutb made Takfir of all societies. Go and read that article here, it is a must read. Whilst the Takfiri-Leninists hold onto the speech of Shaykh Ibn Jibreen in defence of Sayyid Qutb, he certainly did not agree with their corruption, Extremism and exaggeration in this particular issue of Takfir. This is a hujjah against them. He considers "the majority of rulers of today" to be upon ruling by some of the Secular Laws through ijtihaad, on account of which he considers them in error, but not guilty of kufr. This same meaning has also been stated by other Scholars such as Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen where they withhold from Takfir on the basis that the rulers are making ijtihaad in some of these issues and may also be misled by ignorant scholars who are around them.

Coming back to Qutb's quote, we can see that to him, eemaan can only exist if every single element of the Sharee'ah is in place and the ruler is ruling by it all. A situation that has not existed for 1400 years, ever since kingship appeared in the Ummah.

Abu Umaamah relates that the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) said:

لتنقضن عرى الإسلام عروة عروة فكلما انتقضت عروة تشبث الناس بالتي تليها فأولهن نقضا الحكم و آخرهن الصلاة

The handholds of Islaam will be annulled, one by one, and every time a handhold is annulled the people will hold fast to the one that follows it. The first of them to be annulled is the rule (al-hukm), and the last of them is the prayer (as-salaat).

Reported by Ahmad in his Musnad, Ibn Hibbaan and al-Haakim. Saheeh al-Jaami' as-Sagheer (no. 5057) of Shaykh al-Albaanee who declared it Saheeh.

And Shaykh Abdul-Azeez bin Baz (rahimahullaah) commented, upon the previous hadeeth (as occurs in Majmoo' ul-Fataawa wa Maqaalaat al-Mutanawwi'ah):

ومعنى قوله في الحديث: "وأولها نقضاً الحكم" معناه ظاهر وهو: عدم الحكم بشرع الله وهذا هو الواقع اليوم في غالب الدول المنتسبة للإسلام. ومعلوم أن الواجب على الجميع هو الحكم بشريعة الله في كل شيء والحذر من الحكم بالقوانين والأعراف المخالفة للشرع المطهر

And the meaning of his saying in the hadeeth: "The first of them to be anulled is the rule (al-hukm)", its meaning is apparent, and it is the absence of ruling by the legislation of Allaah, and this is what is present today in most of the states ascribing to Islaam. And it is known that what is obligatory upon all is to judge by the Sharee'ah of Allaah in all things and to beware of judging by the Secular Laws, and the customs that oppose the pure legislation.

Whilst Shaykh Ibn Baz states the obligation to rule by what Allaah has revealed in all affairs, he along with the scholars of Ahl us-Sunnah, do not make unrestricted Takfir on account of the presence of Secular Laws in greater or lesser amounts, except with the well-known tafseel (detail) that is found in many of his verdicts.

As for Qutb, if there is no complete rule, then it is kufr. The ruler is a kaafir. The government is kaafirah. And all associatead govermental bodies are kaafirah. And if the people obey the government, even if its out of disobedience, and acknowledgment of sin, they are kaafirs too - (see here). Its' black or white and there is no in-between state. This extremely dangerous doctrine, coupled with the Leninist-Marxist Revolutionary Ideology upon which Qutb wrote Milestones and az-Zilaal (alongside the doctrines of the Jahmiyyah, Mu'tazilah, and As'hariyyah), is why many prominent figureheads from al-Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen themselves as well as the Scholars of Ahl us-Sunnah have pointed to Qutb as the reviver of the Khawaarij in the 20th century, and we shall document these statements in other articles inshaa'Allaah.
