What is the position of the Sunnis and the Community (Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah) regarding the secular-liberal faction that calls for the separation of religion from the state, adopts Western values, and disparages Islamic Sharia?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Secularism is a disbelieving doctrine hostile to Allah and His Messenger. It confines religion to a private relationship between the individual and his Lord and organizes life according to earthly methodologies. The Crusader colonialism exploited them to spread their deviations in Muslim lands. Their danger is intensified by their claim to Islam, and they are more dangerous than an original disbeliever. It is obligatory to expose them, clarify their danger, and warn against them.
