REASONS WHY PEOPLE DEVIATE FROM THE CORRECT AQEEDAH (ISLAMIC BELIEF)
➖➖➖
.
The Deviation from the Correct Aqeedah has many causes, which should be known.
.
1. Ignorance of the Correct Aqeedah because of turning away from learning and teaching it, or lack of attention or concern for it until a generation is raised not knowing the Aqeedah and not knowing that which opposes it and what contradicts it. The truth is then deemed to be falsehood and falsehood to be the truth, as Umar Ibn Khattab (radhi allahu anhu) said, ‘Verily, the bonds of Islam will be destroyed one by one when there arise in Islam people who do not know or recognize Jahiliyah (ignorance).’
.
2. Bigotry (ta’assub) towards that, which the ancestors were upon and adhering to it even if it was false, and abandoning what opposes it, even if it was the truth. As Allah says, ‘When it is said to them, ‘Follow what Allah has sent down.’ They say, ‘Nay! We shall follow what we found our fathers following.’ (Would they do that!) Even though their fathers did not understand anything nor were they guided?’ [Soorah al-Baqarah (2): 170]
.
3. Blind-Following (Taqleed) by accepting people’s statements in Aqeedah without knowing its proof or level of authenticity, as is the case of the Jahmiyyah and Mutazilah, and Ash’aaris and Soofis and others, whereby they (blindly) followed their scholars of deviation who preceded them and thus, they were misguided and went astray from the correct beliefs.
.
4. Extremism or Exaggeration (in honoring) the Awliya and Saliheen (the righteous) and raising them above their status where it is believed that they bring benefits and prevent harm, in a manner, which none has the ability except Allah. Taking them as intermediaries between Allah and His creation in fulfilling needs and answering the duaa until the matter turns into their worship other than Allah. Seeking nearness to their tombs through sacrifices, vows (nadhr), supplication, seeking aid and asking for help like what occurred among the people of Nuh regarding the pious, when they said, ‘You shall not leave your gods, nor shall you leave Wadd, nor Suwa’, nor Yaghuth, nor Ya’uq, nor Nasr (names of the idols).’ [Soorah Nuh (71):23] Such is the case of the grave-worshippers of today in many countries.
