He whom the Lord of the worlds and His servant have called as a disbeliever,
It is he who is a Kaafir."
[As Shaafia Al Kaafiyah Fil Intisaar lil Firqat al Naajiyyah p 243]
And Imam Wahb ibn Munabbih, may Allah have mercy on him said, "By Allah, the
Khawarij where never united as a group except that Allah divided them upon the evil of
their conditions, and never did a single one of them put forth his statement except that
Allah struck his neck. And never did the Ummah unite upon a man from the Khawarij
ever. And if Allah were to give power to the Khawarij with their opinion, the earth would
be corrupted, and roads would be cut off and Hajj to the sacred house of Allah would be
disrupted, and then the matter of Islam would return to Jahiliyah (ignorance) until the
people would return to seeking refuge in the peaks of the mountains like was the situation
during the time of Jahiliyyah. And if there were ten or twenty men (from the Khawarij)
there would not be a single man except that he would claim for himself the Khilafah, and
with every man from them there would be more than ten thousand, fighting against each
other. And they would issue testimony of Kufr against each other until the believing man
would fear for himself and his religion and his blood and his family and wealth. He
would not know where he would be going towards and with whom he will be. But Allah
by His wisdom, knowledge and mercy has taken care of this Ummah and looked after it
well, and gathered them and united their hearts over a man who is not from the Khawarij.
(A letter of advice from Wahb ibn Munabbih to a man influenced by the Manhaj of the
Khawarij, page 17)
Allamah Shaykh Sulayman bin Sahmaan said "And from the signs of the person of Bid'ah
(innovation) are harshness and coarseness and extremism in the religion and exceeding
the boundaries in the commands and prohibitions and seeking what will cause suffering
to the Ummah and bring them hardships and harass them and cause distress in the matter
of their religion, and divide them and oppresses them in the issues of their religion. And
also their Takfeer on them for sins and disobedience and other than that which is well
known has been testified to and mentioned regarding the situation of the people of
innovation" [Minhaaj Ahlul Haq wal Ittibaaa fi Mukalafati ahlil Jahl wal Ibtida', page
26]
Siddiq Hassan Khan, may Allah have mercy on him said: "Imam ash Shawkani said in
As Sayl al Jarraar: "Know that the ruling upon judging a Muslim man as having gone out
of the religion of Islam and entering him into Kufr is not allowed for a Muslim who
believes in Allah and the last day to do this except by evidence that is more clear than the
sun in the day" [Al Rawdat an Nadiyah, Sharh ad Durar al Bahiyah by Siddiq Hassan
khan (p.291) and the full text can be found in As Sayl Al Jaraar by Ash Shawkani 4/578]
