Nesae 140
140-AND IT HAS BEEN SENT DOWN TO YOU IN THE BOOK THAT IF YOU HEAR ALLAH’S AYAHS BEING REJECTED AND MOCKED, DO NOT SIT WITH THEM UNTIL THEY SPEAK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE,OTHERWISE YOU ARE LIKE THEM, INDEED, ALLAH WILL GATHER THE HYPOCRITES AND THE DISBELIEVERS IN THE HELL-FIRE ALL TOGETHER
This Ayah contains a command and a warning:
The command is that if they Muslims are sitting with a group of people, of whatever religion, who reject and mock Allah’s Ayahs, we should leave this company. Allah’s Ayahs mean the Quran, Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him and his, our belief, worship and the fundamentals of our Religion.
If the situation is not a situation of discussion when we can explain what others do not understand, but becomes a situation of flat rejection and mockery. This is a form of turning away from the ignorant, which Allah the Highest commanded us to do “AND TURN AWAY FROM THE IGNORANT”.
Sitting with them then will be taking part in their mockery and rejection, and consequently we will be like them.
This is the second time such command was sent down in the Quran, the first one did not include the warning of being like them. Allah the Highest said: “AND IF YOU SEE THOSE WHO SPEAK ILL OF OUR AYAHS, STAY AWAY FROM THEM UNTIL THEY SPEAK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE. AND IF THE DEVIL MAKES YOU FORGET, DO NOT SIT WITH THE WICKED PEOPLE AFTER BEING REMINDED”. (S: 6 A: 68)
Those who mock and reject can not be believers, but disbelievers or hypocrites. To be one of them is to have the same fate in the Hereafter, which is the Hell-Fire.
Sitting down and socializing with people while they are speaking ill of our Faith and Religion and what we hold dear is a compromise of the Muslim’s feelings towards his/her religion. Some might do this go gain acceptance in a non-Muslim society or country. However, this can be the beginning of the decline of the Muslim’s Faith.
