Reflections from some statements of Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi Al-Mad’khali – 93
In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
He, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:
It is incumbent upon the Ta’ifah Al-Mansurah (the victorious group)- which Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, stated would remain and triumph, neither harmed by those who betray them nor by those who oppose them until the promise of Allah, The Blessed and Most High, is fulfilled (i.e. the day of Judgement); it is incumbent upon this blessed and good group to establish brotherhood for the sake of Allah, collaborate on righteousness and piety, and diligently strive to maintain the great status of being manifest on the truth- neither harmed by those who betray them nor by those who oppose them. This truth cannot be recognised (or acknowledged) about them except through (their adherence) to the knowledge inherited from Allah’s Prophets and His Messengers, and from the Seal of the Prophets – peace and blessings be upon them. The scholars are the heirs of the Prophets in conveying Allah’s message and delivering His commandments with regards to enjoining good and forbidding evil. There is a great deal of goodness for the Ummah in calling to the path of Allah, enjoining good and forbidding evil. Enjoining good and forbidding evil requires abundant knowledge (with regards to what the person is enjoining or forbidding).
