Great example of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
and how we locate ourselves as a prophetic
community that may do politics, not a political
community that may do prophecy.
And that is found in Sahil Bukhari when
the prophet
on the way to Mecca, his camel stopped
and the Sahaba began to tease him and
he said, the one that made this camel
stop is the one who made the angels
stop with Abraha.
Then he pointed towards Mecca, and this is
at the height of their hatred for the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. He said, those people,
those Kufar, if they ask me to do
something which enjoins the sacred,
enjoins the connections of family and kin or
something which is Sharia compliant good, I will
join them. Imam Ibn Qayyim said in Zara
Al Ma'ad, this is an evidence that a
Muslim can partner with anyone on doing good
as long as it doesn't create to a
greater evil or undermine Islam. And then he
mentioned a list of people like hypocrites, the
people of, you name it, that a Muslim
can work with, and that helps us locate
ourselves
as prophetic,
a prophetic community.
