Can a Muslim be a Freemason?

Freemasons..Freemasonry..Occult Order..Secret Society...it's all the same organization but in different names. This hot issue raises a lot of questions among us.Can a Muslim be a member of this organization? Here are some answers to the question from my research..

In the name of Allah,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful

All praise and thanks are due to Allah and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger


In the first place, i would like to note that a Muslim should show loyalty only to Allah,his Creator and Sole Protector. His first priority should be his religion and the interest of his faith, since it is faith only that makes his life brighter. A Muslim should never affiliate himself with any organization that works for the destruction of his religion rather, he should regard the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet ( Peace and blessing be upon him ) as source of his conduct. No other thing deserves more trust than these two. No Muslim can surrender his will unconditionally to anyone but Allah. If anyone has done so, he is guilty of the most blatant violation namely shirk.

Allah says :- "Do they have partners beside Allah who shall prescribe for them rituals that Allah has not sanctioned" ( Ash-Shura : 21 )

The Society of Freemason is a secret organization with aims which are never officially declared in public. It engulfs itself with athick curtain of secrecy to the extent that any new recruit gives a most solemn oath not to reveal its secrets. He is made fully aware that he reveals these secrets at peril to his life. Admission to the society is not open to everyone. In fact, the Society of Freemasons recruits its members after carefully study of their characters and positions. It also tries to enlist in its membership kings, presidents, ministers, leading politicans and highly influential poeple.

What attracts poeple to join the Freemasonry is the assurance of mutual help which its members pledge themselves to give on joining. A Freemason is expected to give unlimited support to other members of the society. Members have certain signs by which they come to know each other, such as the way they shake hands with other poeple and certain additions in their signatures on letters. In countries where Freemasonry is well established, this can be a great advantage to any member who shows dedication to the cause.

In view of all this, there is no doubt that if a Muslim joins the Society of Freemasons, he contravenes the teachings of Islam. The aims, policy and practices of this society are against the principles of Islam and violate its laws.A Muslim must be fair to all people. Islam forbids favoritism, nepotism and discrimination on any basis.Freemasons favor one another on the basis of membership of their society. Islam respects other religions. Freemansory deceives its members into thinking that they further the cause of a better humanity when they are actually furthering the interests of those who seek to give the Jews supremacy over all peoples of the world. Islam is the final message from Allah to man. It is the religion that supercedes all past divine message including Judaism.

Freemasonry seeks to destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque in order to rebuild the Temple of Solomon in its place. How can a Muslim, then join such a society ??? Islam believes in open methods and declared aims and orders its followers to be always truthful and to follow a straight path. Only evil cloaks itself in secrecy bcoz it wants to hide its repugnant nature.

Allah Almighty knows best.wallahualam : : :
