The First One: Shirk in One’s Worship of Allaah#

Shirk in one’s worship of Allaah.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ

Verily Allaah does not forgive that partners be ascribed to Him, while He forgives what is less than that for whomever He wants.

Quran 4:48

إِنَّهُ مَن يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوَاهُ النَّارُ ۖ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ

Verily whoever ascribes a partner to Allaah, then Allaah has made Paradise haraam (impermissible) for him (i.e. He will never enter it), and his abode is the Fire. And there are no helpers for the oppressors whatsoever.

Quran 5:72

The Second One: Setting Up Intermediaries#

Whoever sets up intermediaries between himself and Allaah, calls on them, asks them for things, and places his trust in them, then he has disbelieved, by way of scholarly consensus.

The Third One: Not Declaring the Polytheists to be Disbelievers#

Whoever does not declare the polytheists to be disbelievers, or he doubts their disbelief or approves of their way, then he has disbelieved.

The Fourth One: Believing That Guidance Other Than Muhammad’s Is More Complete#

Whoever believes that guidance other than Muhammad’s (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace) is more complete than his, or that the rulings of others are better than his rulings, like the one who prefers the rulings of at-tawaagheet over his rulings, then he is a disbeliever.

The Fifth One: Hating Something That the Messenger Came With#

Whoever hates something that the Messenger (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace) came with, even if he acts according to it, then he has disbelieved.

The Sixth One: Mocking Anything from the Religion#

Whoever mocks anything from the Religion of the Messenger or Allaah’s reward or punishment has disbelieved. The proof is the Statement of Allaah the Most High: “Say: ‘Was it Allaah, His Verses, or His Messenger you were mocking? Make no excuse, verily you have disbelieved after your belief.’”

The Seventh One: Magic#

Magic, like as-sarf and al-‘atf, whoever practices it or is pleased with it, has disbelieved. The proof is His Statement: “And they (the two who taught magic) did not teach anyone before first saying, ‘We are merely a tribulation, so do not disbelieve.’”

The Eighth One: Trying to Give the Polytheists Victory#

Trying to give the polytheists victory and assisting them against the Muslims. And the proof is His Statement: “And whoever of you takes them (the Jews and Christians) as allies, then he is from them. Verily Allaah does not guide the oppressive people.”

The Ninth One: Believing That Some People Are Allowed to Go Against the Sharee’ah#

Whoever believes that some people are allowed to go against the Sharee’ah of Muhammad (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace), like how al-Khadhir went against the Sharee’ah of Moosaa, peace be upon him, then he is a disbeliever.

The Tenth One: Turning Away from the Religion of Allaah#

Turning away from the Religion of Allaah, not learning it and not acting by it. And the evidence is His Statement, “And who is more oppressive than the one who is reminded with the Verses of his Lord and then he turns away from them? Verily, We will get retribution from the criminals.”

Important Note#

And with respect to these things that nullify one’s Islaam, there is no difference between the one who did them in jest, the one who did them intentionally, and the one who did them out of fear, except for the one who was forced. And all of them are from the most dangerous affairs and the most common that actually occur. So it is befitting that the Muslim be warned of them and be afraid of falling into them.

We seek refuge in Allaah from things that bring about His Anger and His severe punishment. And may Allaah raise the rank of the best of His creation, Muhammad, and that of his family and companions, and may He grant them peace.
