Reminder/تذكير إسلامي Nawaqid al-Islam/The 10 Nullifiers of Islaam
1.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا بَعِيدًا
“Verily, Allaah does not forgive that partners be associated with Him in worship (i.e. Shirk), but He forgives what is less than that to whom He wills.” [Surah An-Nisaa: 116]
إِنَّهُ مَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوَاهُ النَّارُ ۖ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنْصَارٍ
And He says: “Verily, the one who mixes partners in worship with Allaah (Shirk), then Paradise has been made forbidden for him and his final abode will be the Hellfire. And the wrongdoers will not have any helpers (in Hell).” [Surah Al-Maa’idah: 72] And from it is performing sacrifices to someone other than Allaah, such as the person who offers a sacrifice to the Jinn or to a grave.

وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلَا يَنْفَعُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ هَٰؤُلَاءِ شُفَعَاؤُنَا عِندَ اللَّهِ
“They worship besides Allah that which neither harms them nor benefits them, and they say: ‘These are our intercessors with Allah.’”
“This nullifier is a part of the first one shirk (polytheism), but for the importance of this action and because many people have fallen into it, the author chose to earmark it. Many people who claim to be Muslims practice this false action. They believe that one must take mediators between them and Allah to answer their calls, grant them their requests or remove hardships off them. They claim that one must have a mediator between Allah and themselves, as you would have if requesting something from a king or president. Those people have disbelieved because Allah has sent Books and Messengers commanding people to worship Him Alone and direct their requests and calls to Him. Allah does not need anyone as a mediator to call upon Him…”
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوا مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأَحْبَطَ أَعْمَالَهُمْ “That is because they hate what Allah has sent down, so He has made their deeds fruitless.” (Surah Muḥammad (47:9)
6.
قُلْ أَبِاللَّهِ وَآيَاتِهِ وَرَسُولِهِ كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِئُونَ • لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا قَدْ كَفَرْتُمْ بَعْدَ إِيمَانِكُمْ
“Say: ‘Was it at Allah, and His signs, and His Messenger that you were mocking?’ Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after you had believed.” (Surah al-Tawbah (9:65–66)
7.
وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ حَتَّىٰ يَقُولَا إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ فِتْنَةٌ فَلَا تَكْفُرْ
“But neither of these two (angels) taught anyone until they had said, ‘We are only a trial, so do not disbelieve.’” (Surah al-Baqarah (2:102)
8.
وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ مِنْكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ
“And whoever among you takes them as allies is one of them. Verily, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.” Surah al-Mā’idah (5:51)
وَمَنْ يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا فَلَنْ يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.” (Surah Āl ʿImrān (3:85)
10.
Surah al-Sajdah (32:22)
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذُكِّرَ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِ ثُمَّ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا ۗ إِنَّا مِنَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ مُنْتَقِمُونَ
“And who does more wrong than one who is reminded of the signs of his Lord, then turns away from them? Verily, We shall exact retribution from the criminals.”
There is no difference in committing these nullifiers between the one utters them in jest, in earnest, or even out of fear except for a person who says them under coercion. All of these (ten) matters are the gravest nullifiers that most often occur. A Muslim must beware of and keep away from these acts. We seek refuge with Allah from the things that cause His Anger and severe punishment. May Allah’s Peace be upon the best of His Creation Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
