FATWAH OF MAULANA SHEIKH IBRAHIM NIASS REGARDING THE USE OF RADIO BROADCAST FOR QURANIC RECITATION & DA'WAH UPON A QUESTION BY THE PROMINENT SCHOLARS OF KANO IN THE 60's {3}

Salam Alaikum Juma'a Mubarak. We hereby continue with the third excerpt of whole new book in our Baye Book Translation Project that we started last week. It is entitled:
"الحجة البالغة في كون إذاعة القراءن سائغة"

"THE PROFOUND PROOF that indicates that QURANIC RECITATION on the RADIO is PERMISSIBLE [Islamically]"

Written by:Maulana Sheikh Ibrahim Niass

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------When we observe in the midst of Muslims today, it has failed to hold firm the banner of Islam, and the source of reference for them in terms of sharia ruling is the Qur’an and Sunnah, [in countries] such as Makkah & Madinah, Egypt, Syria, Yamen, Iraq, Jerusalem, Turkey, Pakistan, Libya, Algeria and Morocco etc. among the mass of the Muslims in Europe and all of them have agreed upon utilizing these machines, even in prayer. And hundreds of thousands of eminent Muslim scholars. They do carry our views and it is not easy to fault them.

 So whoever relate them to misguidance he has related the umah or society of [Prophet] Muhammad that does not dominate on misguidance issue to misguidance.

And the unanimity of the umah [on an issue] is infallible to misguidance, based on the promised of the truthful Prophet [PBUH]. Don’t you see the pilgrims in the holy mosque pray around Ka’abah behind an Imam with this tool and inside the mihrab or niche of the Prophet [PBUH], and behind them were hundreds of thousands of scholars who were surrounded by the sharia and they are Muslims weather they say it or did not say it. So would we have good assumption with the servants of Allah and devise the best ways out and we accuse the Imam with debauchery,  persistence and unlawful acts?

Then this writer on forbidden and non-believing act should take a second look. So the one who forbids what is lawful is like the one who makes lawful  what is forbidden. And whoever called his brother “You are a non-believer”, then it would fit either of the two.
Hence returning to Jama’ah and to say I do not know in regards to what he does not know is the safest.

[just a paraphrased form of the poem] It is not the one who makes mistakes and admits and corrects himself [after realizing he is wrong]. Rather, the mistake maker is the one who makes mistake but would not change after realizing that he had made mistake.

So a believer adopts the best ways out and accepts excuses and the hypocrite follows privacy. And the notion of some of them that we go with the source. The origin in everything is not to forbid it, until there appears proof that would necessitate forbidding it. Else, it is usurpation in front of Allah and his messenger in making things unlawful. This is not even an imitative function, for the imitative function, but imitation and asking the people of knowledge (So ask those who know if you do not know – and on top of every knower is the best knowing). And the whenever a wise ignores something that he makes as part of his unknowns:

And tell the one who claims he knows

You know something and many things has vanished away from you

And the one who protects the proof is proof to the one who does not protect it and the one who supports the excluded. And the one who made remarks on the issue with the sayings of Allah Almighty:
(And He creates what you do not know) in absolute clarity with the one who Allah enlighten his vision. Muhammad Bun Iddriss Ashafi’ee may Allah be pleased with him was asked: (We have not left behind nothing from the Book [Al-Qur’an]). And where He mentioned this seal vessel and cars that are being created in recent time, He [Allah] says: Allah Almighty (And He creates what you do not know) and at the same time:  (There is nothing that its treasurers are not with Us and we only reveal it according to a specified time):

"THE PROFOUND PROOF that indicates that QURANIC RECITATION on the RADIO is PERMISSIBLE [Islamically]"

Written by:Maulana Sheikh Ibrahim Niass

This book idea came about in the sixties upon upon one of the da'wah trips of Maulana Shehu Barhama to Nigeria. It was upon a question he was asked by the prominent scholars of Kano, led by the Emir of Kano himself, his royal highness Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi in regard to using the radio to recite the Qur'an and do da'awah which the izalah/wahabi groups in Nigeria and elsewhere were referring to as bid'ah.
So upon that question Sheikh used his exceptional and extra-ordinary intellectual capacity by using Quranic verses and Prophetic wisdom to answer the question. And you could see that he mentioned all the names of these scholars in the introduction below.
Can u imagine how an answer to just one question was dealt at length to cover 72 pages?....That was Sheikh Ibrahim for you!!!....Please read and share:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All Praise be to Allah and He is enough, and peace be upon his servants that he has chosen. His majesty Amirul Muhmineen, and the helper of the Sunnah of the best of messengers, the royal king of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Al-Sanusi, may Allah protect you and support you and may He show you the truth as truth and help you to abide by it and show you the falsehood as falsehood and bless you to distance yourself from it. Peace and blessings of Allah upon the Prophet.

I have reviewed many messages that were sent to you by some people who are claiming to be knowledgeable, may Allah increase their kinds – And I was happy to get those who would address this  and all of them were talking in regards to your question about the ruling of the Qur’anic recitation on radio; So some of them declared it as haram, even declared it as kufur or disbelieve and would even try to manipulate and misapply verses of the Qur’an out of it context. And to quote what Abu Muhammad the author of Risalah said to Abdul Salam:

I wish your mother did not give birth to you
And how bad she would feel if she gave birth to you and you did not seek knowledge. And bad you would have felt ìf you did not seek knowledge and you did not learn.
He mentioned that machine is just for play being used by the fools. And he has the right to say I don’t know what this machine is, and I do not determine the nature of the question [before I answered]:
And it is part of the amazing things that you do not know
And you don’t know that you don’t know

Imam Ali may Allah be pleased with him was asked about the reasons for excessive dispute? And he said: If the one who has no knowledge would have kept quite there wouldn’t have been dispute. So radio is a creative tool to amplify voice and extend to a far frontier or limit, which the tongue is incapable of reaching without it, coupled with the disparity of ranks.

The speaker uses it to convey message to be heard. And the speech with it could be either Qur’anic recitation, preaching, or spreading knowledge or zikir, remembrance of Allah or if it may be an amusement .

And glorification of the Qur’an and safeguarding its recitation and reflecting over its recitation, negligence, amusement and  composing instances that returns to the reciters either via the radio or without it.

So if a heartfelt, weeping, sorrowful  and reflective man comes and recite his transmission in front of it[radio], as such or would magnify it as such. Just like when an amusement person would broadcast his transmission as it is. So radio is not an amusement tool and its place is not a place of amusement, unless it is found with the people of amusement. And when it is found with the people of worship, just like mosques, then it would be a place of worship, not a place of amusement, because there are verses or hadith that were revealed complimenting people who make zikir at the place of heedless r negligence. And there are some zikir that were commanded to be recited in market places due to the increasing number of heedless people according to an authentic hadith.

So the one who implements the sharia Prophet [PBUH] advocated for zikir to be made at [those markets] which is like collecting of pebbles at the place of Bani Kananat [where you have to move briskly]. And the movement at safah and marwah. And he [the Prophet (PBUH)] said people used to move around them worshiping idols, and so on as part and parcel of the purpose of the sharia and Sunnah.

   
How many are those who claim of       knowledge burgle (steal) out of ignorance
He sees to precede the hands of criticism
He criticizes people of knowledge while he is immersed [with ignorance]
 He does not know a facade from a far
 Just like hedgehog strays her tentacles against any animal bigger than her
 With lenient touch individually..

“When you argue in something return it to Allah and his messenger”
(The Holy Qur’an)

In the Name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful

The scholar, Imam, Intellectual a dedicated reviver, Abu Ishaq Maulana Sheikh Ibrahim Abdallahi Niass AlKoalakhi  has said:

(All praise be to Allah who has taught by the pen. He has thought man what he knew not---The Merciful (Allah) has taught the Qur’an. He has created man and taught him knowledge [speech]---And say O Allah increase me in knowledge --- We have not left anything unmentioned in the Book [Qur’an]--- We have sent upon you(Muhammad) the Book [Al-Qur’an] clarifying everything --- And He creates what you do not know --- Say [to them O Muhammad] look at what is in the heavens and the earth --- And there is nothing that we do not have its treasuries with Us [Allah] and We do not release it [down on earth] but according to certain time ---Wouldn’t they look at the camel how she was created. And to the heaven sky how it was raised and to the mountains how it was erected and to the earth how it was spread --- So man should take a look at his food) and the rest of the verses that if we had compiled them and talked about their glorious and hidden meanings it would have restricted this domain or range of his (Allah's) message.

And prayer and peace be upon his servant Muhammad the messenger of Allah the master of Arabs and non-Arabs, and upon his household, his companions and his followers of the later generation as part of the most virtuous societies.

However:  I was asked by  a group of scholars of Kano in northern Nigeria under the leadership of their honored royal king and great authority the champion of the religion, Alhaji Muhammad Al-Sanusi, may Allah protect and shield him and grant him his wishes here and in the hereafter. And the prudent  and  thoughtful author   Sayyadi  Alhaji Ahmed Dantata bun Alhassan. And a great scholar Ustaz Alhaji Abubakar Atiqu bun; Khadir, a great intellectual, cerebral Alhaji Abdallahi Salaga. And valiant scholar Alhaji Ahmed Tijjani Ibn Usman [Zangon Baribari]. And Sayyid Alhaji Muhammad Sani Ibn Al-Hassan,  Sheikh Alhaji Usman Al-qalansuwi  [Maihula. And Sayyid Alhaji Mahmud  and the Wazir Alhaji Muhammad Al-Munir and others among the learned scholars and the sources of pride of the religion of Islam. May Allah grant us and them success towards what he loves and pleases with. And may He cure the  ailing hearts  and guide us towards the truth and bless us to stand by it and guide us to know the falsehood and bless us to stay away from it.

I said: They have all asked me about Quranic recitation and spreading the religious knowledge and preaching and remembrance of Allah and its likes among the acts that gets one close to Allah on the radio or via radio broadcasting.  And I answered them as I was in transit [travelling] with what[Allah] says:

(In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful, All praise be to Allah Lord of the worlds. The Compassionate the Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgement. You do we worship and to You we seek for help). Who says: (Whoever make better the words which was preached in the course of Allah…[he is blessed]) And  prayer and peace be upon our master Muhammad the messenger of Allah who says:(May Allah revive or renew [the persona] of person who hears my words and grasp[ understand it] and conveys[to others] it as he heard it”. And he said also: (Convey [the message] on my behalf even if it is s verse). And says: (Allah supports this religion [even] with an impious man). And upon his household, his companions and the followers and their followers with kindness until the Last Day.

However: Scholars have categorized bid’ah or innovation in five categories. Just like the categories in the ruling of the Sharia:

Wajib, [mandatory/compulsory], Mandoob [non mandatory], Jaez [permissible], Maqruh [detestable] and Muharam [forbidden]. So which ever [act] would facilitate the act of worship  and a path to acts of benevolence and conveying the message of Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] and establishing the rulings of Islam they considered it as wajib[compulsory], and what leads to acts of kindness is associated with mandoob [non-obligatory] and whatever is would not inflict any evil upon the religion is considered jaez [permissible] and what involves annihilation of the Sunnah is regarded as makruh [detestable], while what involves misguidance and corruption are considered haram or forbidden.

And these invented tools in this contemporary time if you do not regard them as wajib or compulsory [to use] then we should at least regard them as non-compulsory, because scholars have made [invented] books and set up schools to spread knowledge. And [inventing] the books of hadith and other religious books are part of compulsory and non-compulsory acts.

And these recording tools and voice amplifiers and radios were invented in recent time to serve as a means and  an aid towards the advancement of the religion. Don’t you see the number of pilgrims [to Makkah] are increasing every year ? --- And all praise be to Allah --- How could they have been able to pray the congregational prayer under one Imam with the loudspeaker which would be mounted in the holy mosque?

So any means to the obedience of the command of Allah is an obedience as well. And we have seen how these ships [sea vessels], modern cars, airplanes, and telecommunications gargets and others became useful tools for Muslims in the practice of their religious obligations, and after all, actions are only by intentions.

And a believer [always] drives the best means [to achieve his religious obligations]. And scholars are obligated to make things easy and [always] give glade tidings, based upon the hadith of the Prophet [PBUH]: (Make things easy do not make things difficult, and give glade tidings and do not alienate [people]). Even if it is what has taken over by the scourge, if only it is meant for the sake of Allah(is permissible). And the ummah of Muhammad [PBUH] would not all agree on something which is a misguidance.  
May Allah grant us and you success
towards what he loves and is pleased with and may He cure the hearts of the spiritually sick ones. Ameen, Wassalam!

This is how he summarized the first answer for them. Then he continued with the second message after many ignorant people restarted the controversy again…....

Publisher’s Statement [Sheikh Ahmed BabalWaiz, Interpreter & Spokesperson of Faidah in Ghana]

And the one who took charge of publishing this beneficial publication [as part of his khidmah for the Sheikh] was Abul Fauz, Alhaji Ahmed BabalWaiz the interpreter of the custodian of Faidah [Shehu Ibrahim] in Gold Coast [the first name of Ghana] in Kumasi. This is what he wrote in this book:

                  
 In the Name of Allah they Beneficent the Merciful

Gratitude to the One [Allah] who has brought awliyah [friends of Allah] closer to him. And granted them the presence of the [divine] witness of extinction with him. And perpetual peace be upon the master of the divine martyrs our master Muhammad and his household whom Allah blessed with his divine [witness] their intended purpose.

However, i express thanks and profound gratitude for having the opportunity to shoulder the [financial] responsibility of publishing this book, which has nothing like it, nor any book gathered what it entails of pearls of meanings(understanding)…So congratulations for getting this gaus [succor] among us, the custodian of Faidah of Ibrahimiyah [divine flood] the author of this book.

And we have become conveyors on his behalf and his spiritual children manifesting it to every denier.

So I committed myself to the publication of this book as a token of Khidmah [service] for my Sheikh and my Murabi and for obtaining izin or permission from him for this service and others. So May Allah reward him with goodness. Wassalam.
