What Takes a Muslim Out of Islam? | Dr. Shabir Ally

Your question: "I came across some websites showing things that take a person outside of Islam. Three of them are obvious things like kufr, shirk and hypocrisy, but others include things like saying, what is haram is halal and vice versa. What's your opinion on this?" Dr. Shabir Ally says that in the Quran, there is a clear distinction between faith and disbelief. Disbelief isn't just a slip of the tongue or a view a person has; it's denial of God, assigning partners with God, etc. Once someone is following the faith of Islam, the Quranic paradigm is that this person is a Muslim. Mainstream Muslim scholars have been loathe to declare that somebody isn't a Muslim because they don't know what's in the heart of that person. Dr. Shabir says that if we are sincerely holding to a position that we have arrived at through study and investigation which is contrary to what mainstream Muslim hold, that doesn't necessarily mean the position is wrong, and we shouldn't consider ourselves to be falling into disbelief or leaving the community as a result of that position. Historically, scholars have held conflicting positions, and one of those positions became acceptable and widely disseminated over time while other positions held by highly regarded people were discarded, not necessarily because they were poorer arguments based on weaker evidence, but for a variety of reasons, including political reasons.

Criteria for Judging Hadith | Part 20, Conclusion | Dr. Shabir Ally

In this conclusion to our series, Dr. Shabir Ally advises us to take a balanced approach to #hadith. On the one extreme, many Muslims accept every hadith included in the books. On the other extreme, some argue that hadith are too problematic and should be abandoned. Dr. Shabir says we should follow the #Quran and the way of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Whereas we follow the Quran knowing it's the word of #God, in the case of hadith, we have to determine if it's really from the #Prophet. With both the Quran and hadith, we must we must look at contextual issues to understand how we should apply it in our time. Dr. Shabir shares some principles he uses to judge hadith. For example, the hadith should not contradict the Quran. If it's difficult to see how the two can be aligned without compromising the Quran, then the hadith should be laid aside. If there's a clash between reason and hadith, because of the uncertainty about whether the Prophet actually said the hadith or not, we should hesitate to let the hadith dictate for us what to believe on that matter. Dr. Shabir cautions that he isn't talking about super-rational aspects of Islam, including things like angels and the life hereafter. He's discussing things that are contra-rational or irrational. When it comes to hadith dealing with what people saw, observed and practiced, these living practices are more dependable than conceptual issues that people had to memorize. He ends by encouraging our current generation of scholars to be braver in delineating these criteria and using them publicly rather than merely covertly.

From Our Viewers

I'm a graduate student in psychology and I started reading more in depth of the Holy Quran. I'm constantly making connections between the Holy Quran and renowned theories in the world of psychology. Thank you so much for your all your work. It has helped me to foster a deeper understanding of this peaceful religion!

I’ve often commented on your videos. I have some news. I took my shahadah three weeks ago now and have accepted Islam. My decision was of course not just based on your videos, but they were a great source of information to me, so thank you. My ultimate goal was and is to serve God. I found that I could do that best in Islam. I’m a European white woman (not that it matters) and am compelled to say my decision was in no way influenced by or for anyone else.

The show answers so many questions and helps me to see the truth of Islam, as opposed to the many rumours that are floating around out there. And most especially in Canada, seeing a woman leading the direction of each show puts to rest all the rumours about how Muslim woman are treated badly.

I really love your videos. I am not a Muslim myself but just learning more about Islamic theology has given me a greater understanding and respect for the faith. And the two Dr. Allys have a really great perspective on life in general.
