Of such derision is to say; _'Islam is not fit for the twentieth century, it suits the middle ages,' or ' It is backwardness, it includes harshness and barbarism in its castigation's and punishments.'_ Or saying, _'Islam plunders woman's rights by legitimizing divorce and polygamy.'_ Or saying, _'Ruling by man-made laws is better for people than ruling by Islam.'_ Or describing those who invite people to uphold the belief in the Oneness of Allah and deny grave worshiping as extremists, or want to create division in the Muslim community. Or calling them as Wahhabi, inviting to a fifth Madh'hab.

Or making fun of those who adhere to the Sunnah of the Prophet (salallahu alaihe wa-sallam), by saying, _'The deen is not growing hair, making fun of those who grow their beards,_ or other similar insolent statements. All such and similar statements constitute abusing the deen and its people and mocking the correct Aqeedah. There is no change of one condition into another nor power except by Allah.

▪️ *Ruling by other than what Allah revealed*
➖➖➖

It is incumbent to rule by what Allah revealed and to seek His judgment in all cases of dispute with regards to scholars' opinions to accept only those opinions or statements that are substantiated by the Book and the Sunnah without taking the side of a certain jurisprudential school or certain Imam. This must apply to all litigation and rights; not just personal statutes as practiced in some countries that are related to Islam. Islam is one entity that is indivisible.

✍️...

Allah says: *"O you who believe! uphold Islam in its entity (as a whole)."* (2:208)
And Allah condemned the Jews saying: *"Do you, then, believe in part of the Book and disbelieve in part?"* (2:85)
The adherents of Madh'hab (Jurisprudential schools) must also refer the statements of their Imams to the Book and the Sunnah to accept only those of them that are in conformity with these two sources, and reject the rest, without prejudice or bias, particularly in matters of Aqeedah.
___*PAGE 5*___.
✍️...

The Imams, may Allah be merciful to them, recommended doing so strongly; and this is the real Madh'hab of all the Imams. Therefore, he who opposes them is not considered as their adherent, even if he claims to be so. Rather, he would be one of those of whom Allah says: *"They take their priests and monks, and the Messiah, son of Maryam, as lords aside from Allah."* (9:31).
___*PAGE 6*___.
✍️...

The above Ayah is not restricted to Christians only, rather, it applies to anyone who copies them. He who disobeys the command of Allah and His Messenger ruling by other than what Allah revealed, or requests doing so following his whims, and what he loves, he would have apostatized by departing from Islam and disposing of Imam, even if he claims to be a believer. Allah, the Exalted, denied such people's claim to Iman, by using the verb, 'allege' in the above mentioned Ayah; a verb which is usually applied to those whose action and behavior belie their claims.
___*PAGE 7*___.
✍️...

This is proven by the words of Allah: *"And they are commanded to denounce the Taghut."* (4:60)
Because denouncing Taghut is a pillar of Tawhid (the belief in the Oneness of Allah).

If a man does not fulfill this pillar he would not be considered as a believer in the Oneness of Allah, for Tawhid is the foundation of Iman through which all good deeds are rendered sound, and without which they would be nullified. Seeking judgment from the Taghut means believing in it. *[Muhammad b. Abdul Wahhab. Fath al Majeed. P. 467-468]*.
___*PAGE 8*___.
✍️...

Allah says: *"He who disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has surely grasped a strong handle."* (2:256)
The laws of Allah should not be applied only because they are better for people and their safety and security, rather because applying them is an act of worship.
_*Some people emphasize this point only and ignore the terms of faith, creed, and worship of applying the Divine laws.*.
___*PAGE 9*___.
✍️...

Allah, glory be to Him, condemns those who apply His laws for personal interest, not because they believe that applying them is an act of worship. Allah, the Exalted, says: *"And when they are summoned to Allah and His Messenger to judge between them, behold! a party of them turn away. But if the right is in their favor, they come to him submissively."* (24:48 49). Allah, the Exalted, said: *"And He who does not rule by what Allah has revealed it is they who are the unbelievers."* (5:44).
___*PAGE 10*___. 
✍️...

This Ayah signifies that ruling by laws other than those revealed by Allah constitutes infidelity. This type of infidelity is either major which entails apostasy, or minor which does not constitute apostasy depending on the ruler's attitude. If he believes that the laws of Allah are not binding and that he has a choice, or he took them lightly or believed that man-made laws are better than the Divine laws, because the former are not suitable for this time and age, or if he wants to satisfy the infidels and hypocrites by so doing, then he commits major infidelity.
