A question for
the supporters of Yazid
Those people who support Yazid & claim that he
participated in the siege of Constantinople & is therefore forgiven, even
when the facts have been brought out can they bring forth any proof from the
Quran or the Sunnah? Even if he had participated, will all his later sins be
forgiven & Almighty-Allah will not take him to account for them?
There are other acts also for which forgiveness has being
declared. There is a Hadith in Sunan Ibn Majah, Babi Majaa fil Ghusl, Page No.
105:
Translation: Whoever washes a dead body, enshrouds it,
perfumes it, carries the bier, offers its Salat Ul Janazah, & does not
reveal if he sees anything in the dead body, that person is as free of sins on
that day as if his mother gave birth to him on that day.
In the same way, there is a Hadith about Hajj:
Translation: Hadhrath Abu Huraira (May Almighty-Allah be
well pleased with him) relates: I heard The Holy-Prophet (Peace be upon Him)
say: Whoever performs a Hajj, uttered no obscenities, did nothing bad, he will
return that day in such a state as if his mother has given birth to him. Sahih
Bukhari,
Volume. 1, Page No. 206
There is a Hadith in Sahih Muslim:
Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrath Abu
Huraira (May Almighty-Allah be well pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (Peace
Be upon Him) said: Whoever bears the responsibility of an orphan or makes someone
responsible for the orphan, I (i.e. the Holy Prophet (Peace Be upon Him)) &
that person will be like 2 fingers (i.e. so close), Imaam Malik (May Almighty-Allah
shower His mercy on him) gestured with the first & the middle finger.
There are many Hadith in which glad tidings of
forgiveness have been given.
Does the forgiveness mentioned in the above Hadith & in
other Hadith mean that a person after performing the above acts can leave
Obligatory Salat, drink wine, steal, persecute somebody, hurt somebody, murder somebody,
even then because of the past virtuous acts, all his later sins will be
forgiven? No, what it means is that because of the virtuous acts, the earlier
sins are forgiven & not the later sins. Otherwise, it should be said that
if any person performs a Hajj, washes a dead body, or bears the responsibility
of an orphan, that person can leave Salat, drink wine, steal, persecute
somebody, hurt & murder somebody but these sins will not affect him, only
because that person has performed some virtuous acts. No sane person will
accept that. This is nothing but a castle in the air. If this is accepted as
correct, then the society cannot be kept free of oppression.
