One of the things that shows HT is a secret cult beliefs, has deviant views, is just reading the works of their founder ‘Taqi ud-Deen an-Nabahaanee’ – he wrote many books..
One such book called "Iman’s path" (Tareequl Imaan) which was also written by Al Nabahani, himself would reveal how this sect have been affected by Al Mu’tazilah thoughts in putting the brains above Quran and Sunnah. They let their brains control Quran and Sunnah, and believe in what seems right to them. The human brain is given more weight than it should. It is known that the human brain are two types - Muslim and non muslim -, and the Muslim brain are two types - scholar and the ignorant one, and the scholar brain are two types - "working with the knowledge scholar" and "non-working with the knowledge" scholar. The ignorant has to follow and ask the scholar as Allah SWT says : "and ask the knowledgeable ones if ye know not". The true Muslim, therefore, must put his brain to what Allah and His prophet say; not to put the thoughts above both of them. In this area, the HT failed.
One of the things that he wrote - in imitation of ar-Raazee (one of the people of Ilm ul-Kalaam) he said that we cannot accept the Quran until it agrees with ten of our conditions - and he used the same phrase of ar-Raazee - one of which is that it should agree with our aql.
There are a number of ways that Hizb ut-Tahrir has matched and put itself in line with Mu`tazilah theology, the most prominent being the basing of their theology upon following Taqi ud-Din an-Nabahaani, which is unfortunate. There are also other problems, such as,
1. The denial of the punishment of the grave, which is a continual problem for their leadership, certain naqibs and mushrifs, depending on the area. This can be accessed from Taqi ud-Din an-Nabahaani's writings, such as ad-Dusiyyah, p. 6. This is connected with the fact that this organisation, starting with its' leader rejects ahaad ahaadith out of hand, something that the early generations did not do.
2. Thus their denial of the punishment of the grave springs from the symptom of dividing hadith in theology into mutawaatir (mass transmitted) and ahaad (transmitted singly). Thus they believe that the ahaadith on the punishment of the grave are ahaad and thus it is not required to take them into the theology.
3. It is compulsory for the Ummah to follow Hizb ut-Tahrir (the book, Hizb ut-Tahrir, pp. 1-4, 5-7, 11-15 and others) and that Hizb ut-Tahrir is to be held as the leader of the Ummah (How the Khilaafah was destroyed, pp. iv-3). It has then been made compulsory for Muslims to follow Hizb ut-Tahrir as they are the only sect that should be followed, according to their own literature. This is the same method that the Mu`tazilah adopted when they named themselves, 'Ahl ut-Tawhid wal-`Adl,' the People of Unicity of Allah and Justice.
4. Indoctrination on the students that follow them before they are exposed to the revelation. Thus someone in the organisation for the first 1-2 years as one of the shabaab of the Hizb will have gone through three books, which were written and designed to shape their minds. After this, they then look into the Revelation, but only after their minds are shaped. The Mu`tazilah leader Ibn Du'aad used the same methods for seeking out devotees.
5. One must know the proofs and evidence before believing something in theology. This is also the Mu`tazilah theology and with this they negate the faith or strength of faith existent in the Ummah (Please see Nidham ul-Islam, pp. 3-7).
6. The leader of Hizb ut-Tahrir has stated that man is the author of his actions by creation and choice and not Allah, who then judges man on his deeds. This is falling into the trap of believing that salvation is based on deeds and that good and bad deeds must be rewarded or punished by Allah, who is bounded to punish them (please see Nidham ul-Islam, pp. 8-11).
Imam an-Nawawi, rahimahullah, and the other scholars showed the fallacy in this reasoning when commenting upon the hadith, 'No one of you is saved by his deeds, but by the Mercy of Allah,' as related in sahih of Imaam Muslim.
7. There is an enslavement of the common Muslim by making those precious Muslims who are new recruits suffer being taught Nidham ul-Islam, Mafaahim and at-Takatul al-Hizbi in place of learning the revelation.
8. Upon then being found acceptable, they are made to swear an oath in front of their naqib or regional leader that they will obey the party and its' principles even if they go against their own opinions (which could be the foundational points of the Orthodox creed) as long as they live (al-Qanun al-Idaari, pp. 3-4).
9. It then should be understood that while Hizb ut-Tahrir certainly possesses practicing Muslims amongst their ranks that do not understand that fullness of what they have done or what that organisation represents, Hizb ut-Tahrir is a a cult that is dangerous to the spiritual and physical well being of Islam and as such should not be joined by those with a discerning character and careful mind for consideration.
