Ahlul Bidah: Challenged In Their Creed, Politics, Dealings With The Rulers, etc.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

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

Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Madkhalee, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

We challenge Ahlul Bidah Wal Ahwaa in their creed and politics. We say, between us and you are the pious predecessors and the books. Ahmad [Imam Ahmad] used to say to the proponents of innovation in the religion, “Between us and you are the funerals (i.e. whose funeral will be attended by ahlus sunnah in great numbers)”. We say (i.e. at present), “Between us and you are the books”.

We bring the books of the pious predecessors – the Qur’an, the Sunnah, the books of Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasaa’ee, and what was authored by Ahmad and others; we bring them (to prove) those who are on the path of these (pious predecessors) and those who turn away and oppose them. Just as Allah challenged the Jews to bring the Torah, so the Torah was brought and they were exposed, we challenge these people to bring the books of the pious predecessors, so that the Mubtadi is exposed, and to clarify who the deviants are- whether us or them? Are they able to challenge? Can they open their mouths like this? We fill our mouths with courage – challenge everyone who says that we are upon other than the methodology of the pious predecessors.

We, by Allah, call to the methodology of the pious predecessors- to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. We use the book of Allah and the Sunnah as proof for our beliefs, our acts of worship, dealings with rulers and their subjects, in dealing with the groups and sects.

As for others, they are upon tricks, deception etc By Allah, you will not find anything but tricks and manipulating the emotions of youth”.
