Clear proofs always take precedence over mere objections of personalities

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Allāh, The Most High, said:

وَإِذَا قُلۡتُمۡ فَٱعۡدِلُواْ وَلَوۡ ڪَانَ ذَا قُرۡبَىٰ‌ۖ

And when you testify, be just, even if (it concerns) a near relative. [1]

When you testify by way of a statement to judge between people, differentiate between them in a discourse, and speak regarding matters and circumstances, be just in your speech, adhere to truthfulness regarding those you love and those you hate, be fair and do not conceal what needs to be made clear because it is forbidden and tantamount to injustice to divert (from justice and fairness) when speaking against the one you hate. [An Excerpt from Tafseer As-Sadi]

How astonishing that after numerous proofs are presented that clearly illustrates the grave errors of an individual, someone suddenly appears and tells you not to trust those who have clarified these errors based on solid evidence. This individual, who seeks to dissuade you, then launches unfounded accusations against those who have provided clear proof, all without a shred of evidence. Oh dear, must we now forsake the clear, unambiguous evidence and instead pay attention to the claims of this or that person, whose mere allegations must be prioritised over the clear, knowledge-based proofs? Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi Al-Mad’khali, may Allah have mercy upon him, stated:

The seeker of truth is not diverted from the truth, fairness and justice due to admiration of the big personalities and being amazed by them, for indeed the truth is more worthy to be followed. It is not permissible to drop the proofs for the sake of this or that great man. The principle [rule] of the Muslim – the unbiased one, the seeker of truth – is always:

قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ

Say, bring forth your proofs if you are truthful. [An-Nahl. 64] [Al-Mulakh-khas Al-Jameel Fee Bayaan Manhaj Ash-Shaikh Rabee Fid-Da’wati Wal-Jarhi Wat-Ta’deel. Page 87]

Finally, read the clarity provided by senior scholars – may Allah have mercy upon them.
