Are the Terrorists of Today the Khawārij?
The questioner asks about this group that has today left the Muslims and
opposed them. They carry out bombings and terrorize people who once felt safe. Are
these people truly part of the Khawārij or are they disbelievers?
Shaykh
This group that has left the Muslims, rebelling against them this is the result of
disassociating oneself from the scholars. I mentioned the consequences of this during the
last part of the (previous) lecture. They broke away from the scholars, broke away from
the Muslim leaders, and the disbelievers and hypocrites put these ideologies into their
heads. So, they have become outcasts in Muslim societies.
They are Khawārij, no doubt. This act of theirs is the act of the Khawārij. Rather, they are
even more violent and extreme than the (original) Khawārij. The (past) Khawārij did not
use to destroy buildings and residents. The Khawārij used to show up face-to-face on the
battlefield. They used to fight on the battlefield despite what they were upon of ignorance.
But they did not used to collapse buildings on everyone inside them women, children,
the innocent, those at peace with Muslims, people with whom Muslims have a treaty, and
other people guaranteed safety. The Khawārij used not to do this. This is worse and more
violent than the actions of the (original) Khawārij. This is more like the actions of the
Qarāmiṭah (a severely violent, misguided sect). They are more like the Qarāmiṭah
because the actions of the Qarāmiṭah are secret, based on secrecy and
underhandedness and what these people today do is also based on secrecy. The
(former) Khawārij their actions were not kept hidden and secret; they would make
themselves and their objectives known, publicly announcing them. So, these people are
even worse than Khawārij.
