Among the Counsels of al-ʿAllāmah Muqbil: Give Precedence to Proofs, Not Personalities; Establish al-Jarḥ wa al-Taʿdīl; Follow the Truth, etc.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Al-Allamah Muqbil Bin Hadi Al-Wadi’ee, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

“What I advise the brothers is that they are eager for the texts of the Qur’an and Sunnah. (As for) an issue about which there is no proof, there is no harm that we return to the statements of the Imams and utilise it as support”.

“Call to the Book and the Sunnah. Do not call to personalities, for indeed personalities are not safe from Fitna”.

“The Dawah will not be properly grounded (or established) except through al-jarḥ wa al-ta’deel”.

“If Allah shows you the truth, do not be bothered even if opposed, and be gentle with other scholars. As for the one whose conduct is clearly evident every day, his condition must be clarified”.

“All the Muslims – Arabs, non-Arabs, white and black, it is incumbent to be one Jama’ah”.

“O Ahlus Sunnah! The society is under your care and it is your responsibility to rebut every Rafidi and falsifier”.
