RIJS (Filth)– THE ATTRIBUTE OF KUFR
RIJS – THE ATTRIBUTE OF KUFR
“Similarly, does Allah cast rijs (filth) over those who have no
Imaan.”
(An’aam, aayat 125)
“Verily, rijs (filth) has been cast over you (O Kuffaar!) from
your Rabb.”
(A’raaf, aayat 71)
“Turn away from them, for verily they are rijs (filth).”
(Taubah, aayat 95)
“He (Allah) casts rijs (filth) on those who have no
understanding (i.e. the unbelievers).”
(Yunus, aayat 100)
“Abstain from the rijs (filth) of idols.”
(Hajj, aayat 30)
“Verily, liquor, gambling, idols and divining arrows are rijs
(filth) from the action of shaitaan.”
(Maaidah, aayat 90)
“…..carrion (dead rotting meat, flowing blood, and the flesh of
swine – verily these are rijs (filth).”
(An’aam, aayat 145)
Rijs or Najaasat is filth. All impure and haraam substances
are described by the Qur’aan as rijs. There is absolutely no
relationship and no compatibility between Imaan and rijs.
These two are mutually repellent. There is absolutely no room
for rijs in Imaan. On the contrary, rijs is an inherent attribute of
kufr. We thus see the exceptionally strong inclination which
kuffaar intellectuals in particular have with rijs.
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Allah did not
create cure for my Ummah in substances which have been
made haraam for them.” However, in the realm of kuffaar
medicine, rijs (filth) and haraam substances constitute primary
sources of remedies.
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “For every sickness there is a cure.” This declaration
should be read in conjunction with the other Hadith which
prohibits filth and haraam substances as medicine for the
Mu’mineen.
When these two Ahaadith are collectively studied the
conclusion is conspicuous, namely, there is a cure for every
disease in the myriads of pure, wholesome and halaal
substances which Allah Azza Wa Jal has created in the plant,
animal and mineral kingdoms. Muslims are not supposed to
cast their gaze towards the avenues of rijs from which the
kuffaar medical establishment sources its remedies.
The attribute of filth is so overwhelming in kufr that we find
the minds of kuffaar scientists, doctors and intellectuals in
general drifting firstly in the direction of rijs and haraam
despite the availability of millions and millions of pure,
wholesome and halaal substances. The array of rijs and haraam
which the kuffaar establishments utilize is indeed formidable.
The sources of their extraction processes for medical remedies
and even food comprise of the following list: faeces of humans
and animals, urine of animals and humans, phlegm of diseased
persons, human placenta, blood, human bodies subjected to
mutilation, feeding discarded dead babies to animals, cow dung
from which the ingredient vanillin is extracted, cat excreta used
in the most expensive coffee, cockroaches from which dye for
sweets is extracted, human hair, semen, liquor, etc., etc.
The influence of western education has overshadowed the
brains of Muslim intellectuals who have been brainwashed to
believe that there is no cure for diseases other than in the rijs
and haraam which the kuffaar medical establishment has
certified. This attitude of mental slavery adopted by Muslims
implies rejection of Rasulullah’s proclamations mentioned
above.
The permissibility of using rijs and haraam as medicine and
remedy is in the same category as permissibility to eat a small
quantity of pork. This permissibility arises at a time of dire
straits when life is at stake and no halaal substitute is available.
The permissibility of rijs medicine is not a norm as it has
become nowadays. As far as the mountains of processed foods
are concerned, the need is to abstain from most processed
foods. ‘Halaal’ certificates do not transform the rijs into pure
substances nor the haraam into halaal.
It is imperative for Muslims to exercise greater caution
regarding the food and the medicines they ingest. The
avalanche of rijs and haraam which is ingested contaminates
Imaan and utterly eliminates whatever spiritual fibre a Muslim
has developed by virtue of his Ibaadat.
