Question:
Assalamu ‘Alaykum Sayyidi!
I have a weird question and don’t mean to offend. Please forgive my foolishness and arrogance.
For a long time I have been thinking about Masons. Some say they are evil, dangerous. And some say they are just brotherhood; what’s wrong with that? They believe in Allah.
I wanted to be in brotherhood. To help, be helped and do good things to others. I am most grateful for meeting Mawlana and learning wisdom. But I don’t know if it’s a crime before Allah, Prophet, Awliya and Shaykh to join the Masons. Slap me, but please tell me if Masonry is ok or not. Shukran
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
If joining the Masons will please Allah and His Prophet and your Shaykh then by all means you should do it.
