13. The Increase of Security Forces


In a hadith by AtTabarani: RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “There will be a time when there will be security forces, they leave in the morning with the wrath of Allah on them, at night they come home with the wrath of Allah on them. Be careful, don’t be one of their associates.” This hadith is talking about the security forces that are spying on the people, preventing them from worshipping Allah, spying on them if they are going to the masajid and making da’wah. This is talking about the ones that are oppressing the people. RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam is saying to not even help them.

Security

This has happened during the time of some of the khulafaa`. It’s oppression of the people and it’s a test of the Ummah. Every one of the four Imams [Ahmad, Maalik, Abu Haneefah and Shafi'ee] has been through a trial. Imaam Maalik’s shoulder was dislocated. Imam Ahmad was tortured. Imam Shafi’ee was about to be thrown in jail. Ibn Taymiyyah was thrown into jail and he died there. Many of the current scholars also undergo trials.
