TRIBAL WAR IS HARAAM IN ISLAM

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 8th Jumaadal Aakhir. (Tuesday, 11th of January 2022). *_TRIBAL WAR IS HARAAM IN ISLAM_*. BismilLah. 

First of all, ALLAH commanded us in Qur'an 2 vrs 102 not to be devided and ensure we die as Muslims without fighting each other. We are weak as Muslims because we are busy fighting ourselves due to politics, tribalism, etc. 

ALLAH has commanded us to uphold justice with all other human beings regardless of their race, religion, lineage, status, or identity.

ALLAH said:

O you who believe, be persistently standing firm in justice as witnesses for ALLAH, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, ALLAH is more worthy of both. Follow not your desires, lest you not be just. QURAN 4:135

Tribalists, by contrast, reject universal standards of justice. They divide the world into the privileged in-group and the demonized out-groups, holding to the slogan, “My people (or nation) right or wrong.” Their love of their own people and hatred of others causes them to rationalize and justify the unjustifiable.

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

مَنْ قُتِلَ تَحْتَ رَايَةٍ عِمِّيَّةٍ يَدْعُو عَصَبِيَّةً أَوْ يَنْصُرُ عَصَبِيَّةً فَقِتْلَةٌ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ

Whoever is killed under the banner of blind following, who calls to tribalism or supports tribalism, then he has died upon ignorance. Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1850.

In another narration, the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam warned that when two Muslims fight each other and die, both will be in hellfire astaqfirullah. Is this not more than enough to warn us tribal wars, especially in the name of Islam?. *_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.
