THE BRAZEN KUFR OF HENDRIKS AND HIS POLITICAL PARTY
A prominent news outlet reported:
Al Jama-ah leader reveals party received a prophecy from Bushiri on its poll performance
“Hendricks said that the party received a prophecy from the fugitive prophet before the polls, claiming Bushiri predicted the organisation would grow its electoral footprint in parts of the country.
JOHANNESBURG – While some political parties led campaigns to garner support in all corners of the country, some looked to controversial prophet, Shepherd Bushiri, for blessings leading to the election.
Al Jama-ah leader, Ganief Hendricks, told Eyewitness News that the party received a prophecy from the fugitive prophet before the polls.
He claimed Bushiri’s prophecy predicted that the organisation would grow its electoral footprint in parts of the country.
Prophet Shepherd Bushiri is still a wanted man in South Africa for fleeing the country to escape fraud and money laundering charges amounting to over R100 million.
Despite this, members of the Al Jama-ah party travelled to Bushiri’s church in Malawi and came back with the prophecy predicting the organisation’s electoral support would increase.
While Hendricks welcomed the prophecy, he said he had no control over the religious beliefs of party members.
“In Mpumalanga, we have Prophet Shepherd Bushiri’s people, he has blessed them. He hasn’t blessed Al Jama-ah, but he’s very happy that Al Jama-ah is the first party that is giving his party a political home.” [EWN, 3RD June 2024]
WHAT OUR BELOVED NABI (SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM) SAID:
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ أَتَى عَرَّافًا أَوْ كَاهِنًا فَسَأَلَهُ فَصَدَّقَهُ بِمَا يَقُولُ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»
Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radhiallahu anhu) reports from Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam):
“That person who consults a fortune-teller or a priest (and asks about the future) and he believes him, he has indeed perpetrated kufr (disbelieved) in that which has been revealed to Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam.”
WHAT THE ILLUSTRIOUS SAHAABAH (RADHIALLAHU ANHUM) SAID:
أَنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: «مَنْ أَتَى كَاهِنًا فَسَأَلَهُ وَصَدَّقَهُ بِمَا يَقُولُ، فَقَدْ كَفَرَ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ»
Hadhrat Ibn Mas`ood Radhiallahu anhu) said: “The person who approaches a priest and asks (about the future) and he believes him, indeed he has committed kufr (disbelieved) in that which has been revealed to Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam.”
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «مَنْ مَشَى إِلَى سَاحِرٍ أَوْ كَاهِنٍ أَوْ عَرَّافٍ فَصَدَّقَهُ فِيمَا يَقُولُ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»
Hadhrat Abdullah (radhiallahu anhu) said: “He who goes to a fortune-teller or a priest and believes what he tells him, he has truly committed kufr (disbelieved) in that which has been revealed to Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam.”
قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: «إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ الْعَرَّافِينَ كُهَّانُ الْعَجَمِ، فَمَنْ أَتَى كَاهِنًا يُؤْمِنُ بِمَا يَقُولُ فَقَدْ بَرِئَ مِمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»
Hadhrat Ali (radhiallahu anhu) said: “Indeed these fortune-tellers are non-Arab priests. Whoever goes to a priest and believes what he says, indeed he is stripped of that which has been revealed to Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam (that is, he is a kaafir (disbeliever).”
The above statements have been reported in NUMEROUS books of Ahaadith.
