Azhar Sheikh says don’t declare other sects followers heretics
By: Sultan Ahmed
CAIRO, Egypt: The Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar Dr. Muhammad Sayyid
Tantawi has affirmed that it is not permissible to declare those who
follow other Islamic sects as heretics.
This was contained in a letter which the Grand Sheikh has addressed to
Prince Ghazy bin Muhammad, Advisor to the Jordanian monarch, King
Abdullah II.
The memorandum contains mostly Fatwas (pronouncements) on various
matters of faith which the Advisor had asked for, particularly those
focusing on declaring followers of other sects, such Ibadhis,
Dhahiriya, Ja'afariya, Zaidiyya, Ash'ariyya, and Sufism, as heretics.
In his letter, the Grand Sheikh said that it is not permissible for
one to refer to another as denier of the truth, except if the person
referred to has decried what has come in the Islamic Shari'a, such as
the basic articles of faith in Allah, his prophets, the angles, His
Books, and sincere worship of Allah.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
