THE FINAL WORD

The final word to clinch this controversy and discussion is the directive of the Qur’aan and the unambiguous pronouncements of prohibition made by Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Deviates with their deceptive arguments have attempted to postulate a conflict between the verbal statements of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and certain of his practical acts. Thus, they are at pains in labouring and harping on a few isolated incidents in which the duff was used on an impromptu basis by little girls and some females. At the same time they conveniently, with much dishonestly and deception, ignore the unambiguous and explicit commands of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) emphatically prohibiting music and singing.

They ignorantly and satanically strive to negate Rasulullah’s utterances and directives with certain of his own acts which have a valid explanation for reconciliation, thus obviating the kufr conclusion of conflict between the words and deeds of the Rasool. Muslims – those who are truly Muslims – have no difficulty in understanding that they have to act in accordance with the commands of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) which were issued for adoption and observance by the Ummah at large.

It is kufr for example to claim that every Muslim has the right to marry more than four wives because this was the practical example of the Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).

Such a claim is totally untenable, and no one will accord it a responsive ear. The Qur’aanic ruling is explicit and emphatic: “Whatever the Rasool gives to you, adhere to it firmly, and whatever he forbids you, abstain from it.” A Muslim does not produce rational arguments, narrational arguments and the views of pious men who appeared centuries after the advent of the Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) to refute and negate the very teachings, commands and prohibitions of the Rasool.
