The Batinis
0:11
They are a principal sect of the Shi'a.
0:14
Characterized by heresy,
0:16
and they claim that the Shari'ah has an outward and an inward aspect.
0:20
They are also called
0:22
the Sab'iyyah and the Khurramiyyah.
0:25
And the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, according to them,
0:28
is an outward imam,
0:30
and with him is an inward imam.
0:32
And from this misguided sect have branched
0:36
numerous other sects,
0:38
such as the Isma'ilis,
0:40
who call themselves the Makarim.
0:43
They are present in Najran in the Arabian Peninsula,
0:47
and in other scattered regions of the world.
0:51
And the Druze in Lebanon and the Golan Heights,
0:54
and the Agha Khani in India,
0:57
and the Nusayris in Syria,
0:59
who call themselves the Alawites,
1:02
and the Brethren of Purity,
1:04
who were in the land of Persia,
1:07
which is currently Iran.
1:09
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy on him,
1:12
considered the Batinis
1:14
among the philosopher-Sabeans who are outside
1:17
the following of the Messengers and the fold of Muslims,
1:21
because their doctrines contain many acts of disbelief.
1:25
For they contain the greatest polytheism,
1:27
due to their deification of their imams and their worship of them instead of Allah,
1:32
and their claim of infallibility for them,
1:34
and the right to legislate apart from Allah,
1:37
and their distortion of the Qur'an,
1:39
and their claim that every text within it has an outward and an inward meaning.
1:43
And their reviling of all the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them.
1:48
