The leader of Hizb at-Tahrir, Taqiyyud-Din an-Nabahaniyy, said in his book, Ash-Shakhsiyyah al-Islamiyyah (Volume 1, pages 71-72): "These actions (i.e., the actions of man) are not related to Allah’s creating and Allah’s creating is not related to them, because man is the one who performs them by his will and choice, thereupon, the voluntary actions do not fall under Allah’s creating."
He also said in the same book (Volume 2, page 74): "Rendering the reward or punishment contingent upon guidance and misguidance denotes guidance and misguidance are doings of the slave and not from Allah." He stated a similar thing on page 72 in another one of his books called Nidham-ul-Islam.These words of Taqiyyud-Din an-Nabahaniyy are contrary to the Qur’an, the hadith, the explicit sound intellect, and the sayings of the scholars.
An-Nabahaniyy’s Negation of the Hadith
The following are examples of Taqiyyud-Din an-Nabahaniyy’s negation of the hadith. Imam Muslim in his Sahih, al-Bayhaqiyy, and others narrated that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said:
which means: <<Everything is by the creating of Allah----even stupidity and intelligence.>> As related by Ibn Hibban, the Prophet said:
which means: <<Allah is the Creator of every doer and his doing.>> Also, the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said:
which means: <<Those who claim there is no Destiny (Qadar) (i.e., they claim that the slave creates his doings) are the zoroastians (majus) of this nation. If they get sick, do not visit them, and if they die, do not attend their funeral.>> This was related by Abu Dawud in his Sunan and al-Bayhaqiyy in his book, Al-Qadar. The Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said:
<<Six I have cursed and Allah has cursed and every Prophet has cursed: The one who adds to the Book of Allah, and the one who belies the Destiny (Qadar) of Allah...>>
Moreover, an-Nabahaniyy negated the hadith that was related and determined to be sahih by Ibn Jarir at-Tabariyy in his book, Tahdhib ul-Athar:
which means: <<Two types among my nation have no share in Islam, those who deny Destiny (al-Qada) and al-Murji’ah{2}>> This hadith is explicit in classifying as blasphemous those who deny Qadar. Hence, Hizb at-Tahrir, by saying: "The slave creates his own actions by his will and creating," have deprived themselves of Islam and separated themselves from it like the snake sloughs off its skin.
An-Nabahaniyy also negated the hadith that was related by Muslim from the route of Abul-Aswad ad-Du’liyy who said:
^Imran Ibn al-Husayn told me, ‘Do you see what the people travail with and do today? Is it something predestined according to the Qadar? Or is it something they do on their own? According to what their Prophet came to them with what is the answer to this matter?’
I said: ‘It is something predestined and created.’
He said: ‘Is not that unjust?’
I dreaded of his saying immensely and said: ‘Everything is a creation of Allah and His Ownership; He is not questioned about what He does but they are questioned.’
He said: ‘May Allah endow His mercy on you, I only intended by my question to shield your mind. Two men from the tribe of Muzaynah came to the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, and said: ‘Do you see what the people travail with and do today? Is it something predestined according to the Qadar of Allah or something that they do on their own?’ What is the answer to this matter according to Allah’s Revelation? The Prophet replied: ‘It is something created and predestined and it is confirmed in the Book of Allah (in Surat as-Shams, Ayah 8 and 9):
This means: [Allah created all the souls and inspired them with their God-fearingness or misguidance.]
