Reflections from some statements of Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi al-Mad’khali [13 of 80]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

The people of misguidance – amongst the opponents of Imam Muhammad – and the opponents of the Salafi dawah have fabricated many lies, and one of those lies is that Imam Muhammad, may Allah have mercy upon him, makes Takfir of the Muslims, declares it lawful to fight them, and that he hates the Awliyaa and Saaliheen. They transgress the limits in their fabrications and lies against him- against those who follow his path, against the Salafi Dawah, against the Dawah of Tawhid and the truthful manner in which the sound path is to be followed. They perpetrate these repugnant deeds in order to hinder the people from the true religion ordained by) Allah, which Allah sent His Messenger with and sent down in His Books, especially the message of the seal of the Prophets and Messengers (i.e. Muhammad – peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)]. So, Imam Muhammad, his children and the scholars of the Dawah embarked upon rebutting the falsity of these fabrications with sufficient and appropriate clarifications that they do not make Takfir of the one who falls into Shirk or Kufr until after establishing the proofs against him and clearly clarify and explain the straight for him. Indeed Imam Muhammad did his utmost in giving sincere advice and clarification in many of writings and letters (or treatises) to the one who is far away and the one who is close, especially to the people of Najd and the Hijaz. Indeed, I (i.e. Shaikh Rabee) came across twenty-six letters in which he clarified his Dawah with proofs and evidences, and nullified the Shubuhaat [i.e. affairs that are made to resemble the truth but are falsehood in reality] and the Abaateel [falsities]. And among those letters (or treatises), I present one of them to whom it may reach amongst the Muslims and take from it – in this particular discussion- that which fulfils the objective.
