As the Proverb pointed out that: "people are the enemies of what they do not know.." we emphasize that people are enemies of anything that goes against their personal interests.
And the only arbitrary point is to refer any matter to the incorruptible divine source, which is not prone to lies.
Muslims are therefore commanded, before they make a stand in any affair pertaining to the creed of faith, as well as other religious matters of that kind; before they pass judgement, in the form of crisis or praise, they are enjoined to refer back to original source of the Islamic legal system, that is the Noble Qur'an and the Ahadith of the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasalaam).
Hence, anybody who introduces anything new that does not conform to these sources should be rejected, while a person who strictly follows the Qur'an and the tradition of the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasalaam) should be supported. And this is considered to be the actual form of awareness, understanding, analysis and confirmation. A Muslim could be in a vicious circle working as an agent to the enemies of Islam unconsciously.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَن تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ
"O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information, investigate, lest you harm a people out of ignorance and become, over what you have done, regretful."
[Al-Hujrat 49:6]
There is a great practical lesson in this for the faithful community who are interested on serving the religion; who establish goo relationship, that they should investigate any wrong information which can cause disunity among themselves.
There are a number of adversaries who instigate Muslims to cause turmoil within themselves so as to distance them from their religion, which is simple and plain, also, they make all efforts to introduce new things that are originated from the ancient religious cults, most especially Judaism and Christianity. We are all aware that, the divine religions revealed before Islam were clean and plain, but addition and deletion lead to Islam. They took some worshippers and scholars among the Muslims as their tools aimed at achieving their mischievous goals. The main target of these ..

enemies of Islam, is to be seen that both Muslims and non-Muslims become one side of the coin in sinful acts and disobedience to Allaah. Because, it is by doing so, they will find it very easy to penetrate the Muslim community. So, they will find if it continues over a period, the Muslims will be distance from their religion. In the end, the true Islam will be rendered a stranger among its Followers.
It was reported that Sufyan Al-Sowri رحم الله (97 AH-161) said:
Based on this, Islam brought clean legal system and a purified creed of Faith. It is a religion of the middle course in its theories, and practice. But it is in the highest in human-God relationship. Allaah has made the Muslim community among the other nations a middle course in everything.

A Muslim nation is a middle one between the monasticism of Christians, their exaggerated faith in Jesus, their worship out of ignorance and their blind obedience to the clergy men; and between the tricks of the Jews and their falsehood, their heretical acts against God and his Prophet صلى الله عليه سلم, their deliberate wrong doing and misleading attempt to blur historical, scientific and religious facts the divine religion which come from God through his messenger. The Jews are the most criminal and transgressing deviants.
Historically, ignorance spread among Muslim community at the end of the Abbasid government. This is because, a number of non-Arabs embraced Islam and most of the people are lacking the Islamic Knowledge and most of them were influenced by the knowledge of the Persian, Roman Philosophy and attacked by the Indian Sciences.

between Ahala-Sunnah-Wal-Jama'a the followers of the prophetical tradition and the followers of sects.
It is during that period, many organizations and sects with different ideologies had emerged into the Muslim communities. Abdullaah Bin Saba who embraced Islam deceptively, played a big role in creating of the Righteous Guided Caliph Uthman Bin Affan (رضي الله عنه), he established a sect after his name Saba'iyya.
Al-Shahrustani, the author of Al-Millal Wa Al-Ahwa' Wa-Nihal, Sheikhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah in his voluminous book of Fatwah and other books written by him discussed extensively about these sects. Ibn Taymiyyah exposed the activities of such sects thereby refuting their ideologies.
Anybody who read thoroughly about the movement and ideologies of Islam from the early history will surely trace the facts we expounded on this subject matter. One will understand that the conflict of ideas had emerged because of Roman philosophies, Persian and Indian Sciences adopted by the Muslims.
The Muslims society throughout the ages was endowed with men of wisdom who worked hard to understand those ideas and philosophies that are alien to the real Islamic doctrine. They did their best in effecting correction so as to create a line of distinction between ideas and Islam. Since the ...

It was reported that Sufyan Al-Sowri رحم الله (97 AH-161) said:
"Anybody who has been spoilt among the Muslim scholars will definitely posses an element of the Jewish Characteristics; those are people who have knowledge but do not put their knowledge into practice. And anybody who goes astray among the Muslim devotees has element of the Christian Characteristic; those who worship out of ignorance and error. We ask Allaah عزوجل to bestow us with peace, harmony and good health"

وَلَا يَزَالُونَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَن دِينِكُمْ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعُوا
And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able.
[Surah Al-Baqrah 2: 217]
This is the wisdom that Allaah intended to take place between the truth and falsehood, so as to protect the intellect and enlighten the mind. Whosoever Allaah wanted to guide to the truth will follow the right path, through the textual evidence and good sense of reasoning.
Correcting falsehood with evidence is the major function of the religious call and propagation, which Allaah laid upon Bani Isra'il, the Jews, but they rejected that because of arrogance and pride. Therefore, it is now a duty a laid upon Muslim scholars who fear Allaah most, to speak and inform by calling people to the Prophetical path in faith and worship, they should also correct the misconception by the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, followed his companions and those who follow their steps in both theory and practice.
But thi cannot be understood, that the correct and peaceful propagation would not have materialized without the advent of adversaries, in any period of time, This can be attributed...
