[15] Still Waiting! Where’s The Clear Unambiguous Knowledge-Based Shariah Proof for the Tabdee?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Imam Muhammad Ibn Salih Al-Uthaymin, may Allah have mercy upon him, stated in Sharh Hilyah Talib Al-Ilm that if there is a clash between humbling oneself to the truth and humbling oneself to people, precedence is given to humbling oneself to the truth. For instance, if there is a person who reviles the truth and rejoices due to his enmity towards those who follow it, in this case, one should not humble himself in the presence of this person. Instead, one should remain humble to the truth and engage in debate with this person. Even if they belittle or speak against you, do not be concerned about what they say because the truth must be upheld (or aided). (1) [End of quote] [Paraphrased]

Many of us who attended higher education encountered the role psychology plays in public discourse, accountability, self-preservation, and other matters. Sometimes, this occurs at the cost of violating rights, misleading the public, and fostering a victim mentality. A truthful Muslim does not avoid responsibility out of fear for their status, credibility, reputation, or self-image. Their fear of Allah prevents cognitive dissonance, and they do not believe that remaining silent is less painful than admitting, “I was wrong.”

Being vague, evasive, or changing the subject is a tactic used by those who think that this will allow their supporters to interpret the situation in their favour. This is not politics or media, it is a serious matter related to rulings of the Shariah, which should not be compromised. We are well aware that there are people who know that the dynamics of attention cycles can distract those seeking justice, as well as the fact that, due to information overload, accountability is easily forgotten. They know that public attention shifts quickly, allowing them to wait for the next topic to take over discussions. We’ll not be distracted by those who employ the tactic of “running out the clock”, who think that silence will make their audience and sympathisers feel that their unsupported claims have no real consequences.

Therefore, we’ll continue to demand proof from those who falsely issued the false Tabdee against Shaikh Abu Iyaad, may Allah protect him. We will reiterate the unanswered question and avoid getting sidetracked. If the topic is avoided, we will bring it back, document the conversation, and keep a record of the claims and their lack of evidence. We will treat their silence—in this particular serious issue—as a non-response, without making excuses for the accuser, and we will remind the youth that the claim is still false, excessive, repugnant, and oppressive. This is because unchallenged claims can lead to more harm and perhaps desensitisation. Thus, the perpetrators of false Tabdee should never expect that evasion will solve their problem, for indeed, we’ll continue demanding proof. So, we ask again: Where is the clear, unambiguous proof for the Tabdee against Shaikh Abu Iyaad, may Allah protect him, and the claim that he is a plant?!
