The Idea of Equality between Civilisations -------------------PAGE 2
The meaning of equality between religions and between civilisations is a kufr, concept since it is an invitation to equality between the truth (haqq) and falsehood (batil), between the deen of truth and distorted religions, between kufr and iman, between misguidance (dhalala) and guidance, between the abrogating deen) and the abrogated (deen), between civilisational concepts whose source is revelation and civilisational concepts laid down by man i.e. between the mind and text (naql), between arbitrating to At-Taghut and arbitrating to the Book and Sunnah and what they both guide to, between the confirmed (thabit) that benefits mankind and remains in the earth and the vanishing foam that is scum.
The evidences for that are difficult to limit. He ta'ala said:
"Nay We fling the truth (haqq) against the falsehood (batil) so it destroys it. And, behold, it is vanished!" [TMQ Al-Anbiya: 18].
And He said:
"What is there after the truth except misguidance?" [TMQ Yunus: 32].
And He said:
"They wish to arbitrate to At-Taghut while they have been commanded to deny it. And Satan wishes to mislead them far astray!" [TMQ An-Nisa: 60].
And He said:
"He is the One who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the deen of truth so that it prevails over all other deens, even if the polytheists detest!" [TMQ At- Taubah: 33].
And He said:
"And whoever seeks other than Islam as a deen, never will it be accepted from him. And in the Hereafter he will be among the losers" [TMQ Al-Imran: 85].
And He said:
"And We revealed to you the Book in truth confirming the Scripture that came before it and dominating over it" [TMQ Al-Mai’dah: 48].
And He said:
"Thus does Allah show forth truth from falsehood (by parables). Then as for the foam, it passes away as scum while that which benefits mankind remains in the earth. Thus Allah sets forth parables" [TMQ Ar-Rad: 17].
And He said:
"Is then he who is a believer like he who is a transgressor (fasiq)? They are not equal" [TMQ As-Sajdah: 18].
And He said:
"Say: 'Not equal are the evil and the good, even though the abundance of evil pleases you.' Fear Allah, O men of understanding, so that you may be successful" [TMQ Al-Mai’dah: 100]. ------------------------------- Page 2
