Q 23: Ni dalili gani ya kimaandishi kutoka katika Qur'ani Tukufu na Sunnah ya Mtume kwamba kukubali (Ujumbe wa Uislamu) ni sharti la imani kwa Mwenyezi Mungu?
Q 23: What is the textual proof that acceptance (of the Message of Islam) is a precondition of faith in Allah from the Glorious Qur'an and the Prophetic Sunnah?
Kuhusu wale ambao hawakukubali, Allah Mtukufu anasema: {(Itasemwa kwa Malaika): "Wakusanyeni wale waliodhulumu, pamoja na wenzao (kutoka kwa mashetani) na yale waliyokuwa wakiyaabudu badala ya Allah, kisha waongozeni kwenye njia ya Moto unaowaka (Jahannamu). Lakini wasimamisheni, hakika wao wataulizwa. Nini kimewapata? Kwa nini hamsaidiani (kama mlivyokuwa mkifanya duniani)? Bali siku hiyo watajisalimisha. Nao watageukiana na kuulizana. Watasema: Ni ninyi mlikuwa mkitujia kutoka upande wa kulia. Watajibu: Hapana, ninyi wenyewe hamkuwa waumini. Wala hatukuwa na mamlaka juu yenu. Hapana! Bali ninyi mlikuwa watu wa kupindukia mipaka. Basi neno la Mola wetu limethibitika juu yetu, kwamba hakika tutaonja (adhabu). Hivyo tuliwapoteza kwa kuwa sisi wenyewe tulikuwa tumepotea. Kwa hakika siku hiyo, wote watashiriki adhabu. Hakika ndivyo Tunavyowatendea Al-Mujrimun. Hakika walipoambiwa: La ilaha illallah (hakuna mungu anayestahili kuabudiwa isipokuwa Allah), walijivuna kwa kiburi (yaani walikataa). Nao wakasema: "Je, tuiache miungu yetu kwa ajili ya mshairi mwendawazimu?}. (As-Saffat, 22-36)
A--- Regarding those who did not accept it, Allah the Almighty says: {(It will be said to the angels): "Assemble those who did wrong, together with their companions (from the devils) and what they used to worship, instead of Allah, and lead them on to the way of flaming Fire (Hell),. but stop them, verily they are to be questioned. What is the matter with you? Why do you not help one another (as you used to do in the world)? Nay, but that Day they shall surrender. And they will turn to one another and question one another. They will say: It was you who used to come to us from the right side7. They will reply: Nay, you yourselves were not believers. And we had no authority over you. Nay! But you were Taghun (transgressing) people. So now the Word of our Lord has been justified against us, that we shall certainly (have to) taste (the torment). So we led you astray because we were ourselves astray. Then verily, that Day, they will (all) share in the torment. Certainly, that is how We deal with AI-Mujrimun8. Truly, when it was said to them: La ilaha illallah "(none has the right to be worshipped but Allah?" They puffed themselves up with pride (i.e. denied it). And (they) said: "Are we going to abandon our alihah (gods) for the sake of a mad poet?}. (As-Saffat, 22-36)
Mtume Muhammad ﷺ anasema: "Mfano wa mwongozo na elimu ambayo Allah, Mtukufu na Mwenye utukufu, amenituma nayo ni kama mvua inayonyesha juu ya ardhi. Kuna ardhi nzuri inayopokea mvua (kwa shauku), na kwa sababu yake huota majani na nyasi kwa wingi. Kisha kuna ardhi ngumu na tasa inayoshikilia maji, na watu wananufaika nayo; wanakunywa maji hayo na kuwanywesha wanyama. Kisha kuna ardhi nyingine tasa, ambayo haishiki maji wala haiotesha nyasi. Huo ndio mfano wa yule wa kwanza anayeelewa vizuri dini ya Allah, na ambaye elimu aliyotumwa nayo mimi imekuwa chanzo cha manufaa kwake. (Wa pili ni yule) anayejifunza elimu ya dini na kuwafundisha wengine. (Kisha aina nyingine ni) yule asiyejali (elimu iliyofunuliwa), hivyo basi hakubali mwongozo wa Allah ambao nimetumwa nao."
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) says: "The similitude of that guidance and knowledge with which Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has sent me is that of rain falling upon the earth. There is a good piece of land which receives the rainfall (eagerly) and as a result of it there is grown in it herbage and grass abundantly. Then there is a land hard and barren which retains water and the people derive benefit from it and they drink it and make the animals drink. Then there is another land which is barren. Neither water is retained in it, nor is the grass grown in it. And that is the similitude of the first one who develops the understanding of the religion of Allah and it becomes a source of benefit to him with which Allah sent me. (The second one is that) who acquires the knowledge of religion and imparts it to others. (Then the other type is) one who does not pay attention to (the revealed knowledge) and thus does not accept guidance of Allah with which I have been sent”.
