Shahrastani on Murji'ites

Al-Shahrastani in his book al-milal wa al-nihal stated (in chapter 5, page 119)

On meaning of al-Irja
Deferring the case of one who commits a grave sin to the day of judgement. In this world, therefore, no judgement is made as to whether he belongs to the people of Paradise or the people of hell.

I am going to briefly go through all the murjiyyah sects mentioned by him (these are pure Murjiyyah sects)

• Yunusiyya: Eman/faith only consists of knowledge and love of God. Deeds is not part of Iman, hence act of disobedience doesn't injure your faith.
• Ubaidiya: All sins other than polytheism will be forgiven. God is in the likeness of man because Adam was created in his image.
• Ghassaniya: Faith increases but does not decreases. (What happens if you keep on committing sins every single day?)
• Thaubaniyya: Deeds are secondary (unimportant) to faith. If god forgives one sinner on the day of judgement then He will forgive every single sinner.
• Taumaniyya: Agrees on the qualities that makes someone a disbeliever but refraining from calling a person disbeliever or fasiq
• Salihiyya: Worship of God is knowledge of him. Prayers/salat is not worship of God. Even if someone said God is one of the three this is not unbelief!

These beliefs sound a little bit Christian (accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior and you will be safe)
