[4] Remind those who praise or retweet without clarity that Al-Allaamah Rabee reminds us about the trials and the obligation of clarity

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

Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with him] narrated that Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “Hasten to perform good deeds before a trial that is similar to the dark part of the night, (in which) a man will be a believer in the morning and an unbeliever in the evening, or he will be a believer in the evening and an unbeliever in the morning, and sell his religion for some things of the worldly life”. [Saheeh Muslim. Number 118]

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi [may Allah protect him] said: “Many trials have occurred, amongst them the trial of the khawaarij, the Rawaafid (see footnote a) and killing. Deviation and misguidance have occurred – either fighting and trials (related) to politics, creed, methodology, and what is similar to them. Many people who were to be destroyed were destroyed and the one whom Allah protected was saved and (enabled) to adhere to the true methodology. Therefore, during every trial, they (the scholars of Ahlus Sunnah) must openly proclaim the truth and clarify it for the people. They should distinguish – for them – between guidance and misguidance, between truth and falsehood, the manner in which the people will be safeguarded from these trials, the path through which they will be saved from entering into trials and other affairs (by way of which) Allah guides this (victorious) group when (they) face every trial”. [1]

“Yes, a man may be upon truth and then you do not see him thereafter except that he has become a disbeliever or a misguided innovator (in religious affairs)! This is nothing else but humiliation! He used to claim that he is upon good, a possessor of knowledge and upon the truth, but then he falls into disbelief- either Kufr Akbar or kufr Asghar. This is ignominy and Allah’s Protection is sought. How many people have been humiliated and exposed by a trial! [Suddenly] you come to know of them and their false claims are unveiled, and their reality is clarified for you”. [2]

The Shaikh also stated: A believer always fears that his situation will change. It has been reported from Aa’isha and Anas [may Allah pleased with them] that the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] often (supplicated), “يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِى عَلَى دِينِكَ – O turner of the hearts (Allah)! Keep my heart firm upon your religion”. I [i.e. Aa’isha or Anas] asked, “O Allah’s Messenger! We believe in you and what has been revealed to you, so do you fear for us?” He said, “Yes, indeed the hearts are between two fingers among the fingers of Allah and He turns them how He pleases”. By Allah! This is (true) understanding – that a person does not feel safe about himself, for indeed Satan flows through the human being like blood. (a) Therefore, a person should guard his heart, intellect and deeds ardently more than the (manner in which) he guards his wealth and honour. Whoever is given authority to look after his own affairs, it is obligated on him to guard his heart before everything else.

[رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ – Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from You. Truly, You are the Bestower]. [Surah Al Imraan’ Ayah 8] [3]

“I warn my brothers against the Fitan (trials, temptations) and that they turn to Allah (for help) to keep them steadfast upon the Religion. They should supplicate a lot (just as Allah taught the believers that they say),[رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ – Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from You. Truly, You are the Bestower]. [Surah Al Imraan’ Ayah 8]

They should make this tremendous supplication often and the supplication which Allah’s Messenger used to make often. Anas said that Allah’s Messenger used to say a lot, “O Turner of the hearts, keep my heart firm upon your religion”. So the companions said, “O Allah’s Messenger! Do you fear for us?” He said, “Yes, indeed the hearts are between two fingers from the fingers of Allah, and He turns them however He wills”. [4]

We ask Allah:

اللَّهُمَّ بِعِلْمِكَ الْغَيْبَ وَقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ أَحْيِنِي مَا عَلِمْتَ الْحَيَاةَ خَيْراً لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا عَلِمْتَ الْوَفَاةَ خَيْراً لِي، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَشْيَتَكَ فِي الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ كَلِمَةَ الْحَقِّ فِي الرِّضَا وَالْغَضَبِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ الْقَصْدَ فِي الْغِنَى وَالْفَقْرِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ نَعِيماً لَا يَنْفَذُ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَا تَنْقَطِعُ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ الرِّضِا بَعْدَ الْقَضَاءِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ بَرْدَ الْعَيْشِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ لَذَّةَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ وَالشَّوْقَ إِلَى لِقَائِكَ فِي غَيْرِ ضَرَّاءَ مُضِرَّةٍ وَلَا فِتْنَةٍ مُضِلَّةٍ، اللَّهُمَّ زَيِّنَّا بِزِينَةِ الْإِيمَانِ
وَاجْعَلْنَا هُدَاةً مُهْتَدِينَ

O Allah! By Your Knowledge of the unseen and by Your Power over creation, let me live if life is good for me, and let me die if death is good for me; O Allah! I ask You to grant me (the blessing of having) fear of You in private and public; And I ask you (to make me utter) a statement of truth in times of contentment and anger; And I ask You for moderation when in a state of wealth and poverty; And I ask you for blessings that never ceases; And I ask You for the coolness of my eye that never ends; And I ask You (to make me pleased) after (Your) decree; and I ask You for a life of (ease, comfort, tranquillity etc) after death; I ask You for the delight of looking at Your Face (i.e. in the Hereafter) and yearning to meet You without any harm and misleading trials (coming upon me); O Allah! Adorn us with the adornment of Imaann, and make us (from those who are) guided and guiding (others). [Sunan An-Nasaa’ee’ Number 1305 & declared Saheeh by Imaam Albaani (may Allah have mercy upon him) in As-Saheehah Number 1301]

اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِي الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي
وَأَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي
وَأَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَادِي
وَاجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ
وَاجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ

O Allah! Rectify my religion for me, which is the safeguard of my affairs; rectify my worldly (affairs), wherein is my livelihood; and rectify my Afterlife to which is my return; and make life for me (as a means of) increase in every good and make death for me as a rest from every evil. [Saheeh Muslim Number: 2720]

يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغيثُ أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِيَ كُلَّهُ وَلاَ تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ

O Ever Living! O The Self Subsisting, Upon Whom Everything Depends! By Your mercy I seek assistance; rectify for me all of my affairs and do not leave me to myself, even for the blink of an eye. [Imaam Albaani declared it Hasan in Silsilah As-Saheehah Number 227]

[2] In search of solace whilst supplicating for our oppressed brothers and sisters in Palestine

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Brotherhood, Contemporary Issues, Monotheism - Tawheed, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

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

Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] stated:

A person is neither to lose hope nor despair. He should not make the people lose hope of a return to goodness. He should not make the people lose hope regarding [the fact] that truth will prevail, and falsehood will be repelled; because Allah [Glorified and Exalted be He] has made that promise and He does not fail to fulfill His promise. Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “The Religion is aided when put to the test, therefore, do not be amazed because this is the way of Ar-Rahmaan (The Most Merciful)”.

The Shaikh also stated that the wisdom behind Fitna is so that the believers are purified, exercise patience, become firm upon the truth, and are cautioned for their mistakes, and so that they may repent to Allah [The Mighty and Majestic].

It is obligated to the Muslim that he looks at (the affairs) with optimism- neither look at history and the state of affairs with pessimism and hopelessness nor make the people lose hope. It has been reported in a hadeeth, “Whoever says, “The people are ruined, then he is ruined”. [Muslim] Therefore, a person should neither lose hope in Allah’s Mercy nor does he make people lose hope that Allah will bring about solace.

The Muslim should neither despair nor lose hope; he has to wait for solace from Allah, but this has to be accompanied by what one can perform of actions, statements, spreading knowledge, calling to Allah, telling the people to have certainty, and keeping them away from despair and lack of hope. [1]

A benefit regarding supplications

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said that supplication is three types: The first type is to invoke Allah by His Names and Attributes, and this is one of the explanations of Allah’s statement:

[ وَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ فَٱدۡعُوهُ بِہَا- And (all) the Most Beautiful [perfect] Names belong to Allah, so supplicate to Him by them]. [Surah Al-A’raaf. Aayah 180]

The second type is that you invoke Allah for your need and due to your poverty, saying: I am Your poor slave, the needy one, the one to be pitied, the one seeking help and refuge, etc.

The third type is that you ask for your needs whilst not using the aforementioned two types of invocations.

The first invocation is more perfect and the second is more perfect than the third. Therefore, if an invocation gathers all three types, then it will be most perfect and this is what the invocations of the Prophet usually comprised of. [2]

[4] Daniel Haqiqatjou– the bald-faced liar – approaches one of the worst types of usury

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Contemporary Issues, Deviated Callers & Individuals, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Refutations.

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

Allah [The Exalted] said:

فَٱجۡتَنِبُواْ ٱلرِّجۡسَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَوۡثَـٰنِ وَٱجۡتَنِبُواْ قَوۡلَ ٱلزُّورِ
So shun the abomination (worshipping) of idols, and shun lying speech (false statements).
[Surah Al-Hajj. Ayah 30]

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] stated: “Allah forbade lying and mentioned it alongside shirk”. The Shaikh also stated, “Numerous are liars today against the callers and carriers of the Salafi Dawah. They (i.e. the liars) can disseminate cruel rumours till it reach the world using various means made available to them in this era. They divert people from Allah’s path and seek to make it crooked to further their falsehoods, twaddle, and dangerous innovations in religion that destroy sound belief, sound Islamic approaches to various subjects, and virtuous manners”. [1]

Mr Haqiqatjou stated: “As I’ve covered for over a year now, the Madkhalis are a deviant group that was created by Saudi and UAE intelligence to trick Muslims worldwide into thinking that Gulf policies, no matter how anti-Islamic, should never be criticized. According to Madkhalis, if you or I criticize these countries for secularizing or for normalizing relations with Israel, our criticism constitutes “khuruj” and makes us heretics and terrorists who should be killed. Madkhalis have been calling for my death for the past year now for this”. [End of quote]

Response: This classification of a so-called strain within Salafiyyah known as Madkhalism is a ruse concocted by the Shayaateen among Salafiyyah’s sworn foes. They are unable to present concrete evidence to confront the sound Salafi methodology and its upright scholars, therefore they resort to lies, fantasy, delusions, and slander. This term was concocted by ahlul bidah (the Qutbiyyah, Ikhwaanees, and their ilk) to discredit a great scholar of this Ummah called Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali [may Allah preserve him]. Read about this great scholar in the article compiled by Shaikh Abu Khadeejah [may Allah preserve him]: https://abukhadeejah.com/biography-of-ash-shaykh-al-allamah-rabi-ibn-hadi-al-madkhali-and-the-praise-of-the-scholars-for-him/

There are no strains in Salafiyyah, let alone one known as Madkhalism; therefore, there’s no need to address anything related to its so-called origin or emergence as a so-called deviant group, otherwise, we’ll engage in a fruitless debate in attempting to rebut this delusion of the arrogant liar Mr Haqiqatjou. Everything said by the liar about this fictitious strain within Salafiyyah is intended to misconstrue the reality of Al-Allaamah Rabee’s approach and efforts in rebutting ahlul bidah. Indeed, Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah protect him] is their target since he, along with other well-known Salafi Scholars – such as Al-Allaamah Muhammad Amaan Al-Jaami, Al-Allaamah Ubaid Bin Abdillah Al-Jaabiri, Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan, Al-Allaamah Muhammad Bin Abdil Wahhaab Al-Bannah, Al-Allaamah Muqbil Bin Haadi Al-Waad’ee – exposed the corruption and deception of the Takfeeris, Qutubies, and other political activists in Saudi and elsewhere, and Al-Allaamah Rabee, in particular, revealed the reality of Sayyid Qutb, Hasan Al-Bannah, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood sect, Adnaan Aroor, Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul Khaaliq, Ihyaa Turaath, and others. Additionally, other Salafi scholars, such as Imaam Al-Albaanee, as well as Salafi students of knowledge in the East and the West, revealed the truth about the Khawaarij, such as Usaamah Bin Ladin and Ayman Az Zawaahiri, political activists, and people who adhered to the Ikhwaanees’ methodology, such as Salman Al-Awdah, Safar, Nasir Umar, Muhammad Al-Areefee, Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, and their ilk.

Visit: http://www.themadkhalis.com/md/

This is the reality whether Mr Haqiqatjou acknowledges it or not. Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali and his students in the East and the West were amongst the first to expose all contemporary deviant groups and individuals whose orientation is a path that encourages an innovative political discourse or rebellion against Muslim rulers. So, when their misguided tactics and covert attempts to infiltrate Salafiyyah were uncovered, they concocted a so-called, imaginary strain within Salafiyyah which they called Madkhalism and falsely attributed to Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’kali. And to cover up their deviated organisations and figureheads, they also invented several bogus ideas; nevertheless, Al-Allaamah Rabee once more revealed their evil schemes. Read what the Shaikh stated in this link: https://salaficentre.com/2019/08/16/one-of-the-most-dangerous-group-shaikh-rabee-unveils-their-affair/

The right approach in dealing with the Muslim ruler, whether impious or pious, is not left to Mr Haqiqatjou’s vain desires; rather, the believer is commanded to return to the authentic divine texts as understood by the Prophet’s companions. Read below:

Believer’s Bahaviour Towards Muslim Rulers – [Supplicates For Them….]

Senior Salafi students transmitted this subject matter many years ago from the clarifications of the Senior Scholar before Mr. Haqiqatjou began to openly attack Salafiyyoon and labelling them as Mad’khalis. Read “Imaam Ibn Baz on the Manhaj of Correcting the Rulers”:

https://www.salafipublications.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=MNJ16&articleID=MNJ160003&articlePages=1

Imaam Barbahaaree on the Manhaj of Dealing With the Rulers: By Shaikh Abu Talhah [may Allah have mercy upon him and his wife] and Shaikh Abu Iyaad [may Allah preserve him]:

https://salafipublications.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=MNJ16&articleID=MNJ160002&pfriend=

So, are Imaam Al-Barbahaaree and Imaam Ibn Baaz [may Allah have mercy on them] Mad’khalis because of the approach they employ in dealing with the Muslim rulers?!

 

Mr. Haqiqatjou stated: “According to Madkhalis, if you or I criticize these countries for secularizing or for normalizing relations with Israel, our criticism constitutes “khuruj” and makes us heretics and terrorists who should be killed. Madkhalis have been calling for my death for the past year now for this”. [End of quote]

Response: First, using the word “secularising” without explanation or differentiation is risky since not everyone who sins can be seen to be secularising his beliefs, behaviours, or attitudes. Therefore, we are obligated to elucidate in the following link:

“I Consider Myself a Secular Muslim” – Statement of Damn fools!

Regarding the normalisation of relations with the Zionists of Palestine or any other non-Muslim group or country, this is not under our authority; instead, it is the responsibility of the rulers, and it is the duty of those who can advise the rulers if they have evidence that following such a course in a given situation will cause more harm than good. And we ask Allah to guide the rulers in all affairs, as Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: “If I had one supplication that was going to be answered I would make it for the ruler (imām), for the wellbeing and righteousness of the Imam [i.e. the ruler] means wellbeing for the land and its people”. [2]

Would this statement of Imaam Fudayl make him a so-called Mad’khali?!

 

Mr. Haqiqatjou stated: “Our criticism (i.e. against the rulers who are secularising in the view of Mr. Haqiqatjou) constitutes “khuruj” and makes us heretics and terrorists who should be killed. Madkhalis have been calling for my death for the past year now for this”. [End of quote]

Response: First, clarification and differentiation are needed for this assertion. We have previously included the link with the information on how to advise the rulers and will attach it again here so that the reader does not have to scroll up.

“Imaam Ibn Baz on the Manhaj of Correcting the Rulers”:

https://www.salafipublications.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=MNJ16&articleID=MNJ160003&articlePages=1

Imaam Barbahaaree on the Manhaj of Dealing With the Rulers: By Shaikh Abu Talhah [may Allah have mercy upon him and his wife] and Shaikh Abu Iyaad [may Allah preserve him]:

https://salafipublications.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=MNJ16&articleID=MNJ160002&pfriend=

Second, there is no doubt that the one who goes against the correct path in advising the rulers as mentioned above is mistaken, even if his intention is not to call to khuruj, as Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Uthaymeen [may Allah have mercy on him] said, “There is no khuruj with the sword except that it is preceded by Khuruj with the tongue.” [3]

Third, there is more danger to the affair of those who criticise the rulers intending to call to Khuruj! Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] stated: There are various types of khawaarij: those who carry weapons, those who write, those who speak like the one who said to Allah’s Messenger “Be just”, and those who believe in their hearts but do not speak or act upon it despite having the belief of the khawaarij in their heart. However, some are worse than others. [4]

Thus, are Imam Muhammad Ibn Saalih Al-Uthaymeen and Al-Allaamah Saalih al-Fawzaan Madkhalis now considered to be Mad’khalis as a result of the aforementioned clarification?

Without a doubt, the person who openly follows the path of the khawaarij in words, deeds, or beliefs is a terrorist since the khawaarij advocate for violence and is a heretic in the sense that he follows Bidah and a false creed. However, regarding the verdict that they ought to be killed, Mr. Haqiqatjou has once again refrained from providing further details; hence, we are obliged to clarify in this link: https://salaficentre.com/2011/10/24/shaikh-fawzaan-the-methodology-of-ahlus-sunnah-in-their-combat-against-the-khawaarij/

As for Mr. Haqiqatjou’s claim that “Mad’khalis [i.e. so-called Madkhalis] have been calling for my death for the past year now for this”, he must state specifically who is threatening to kill him because neither are we Mad’khalis nor have we threatened to kill or physically harm anyone, rather, we are Salafiyyoon. Therefore, it is incumbent upon Mr. Haqiqatjou to elaborate and mention names rather than wallowing in ambiguity, as Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “It is obligated on you to give detail and make a distinction because unrestricted and general (statements) without clarification has indeed corrupted this existence [i.e. the world], and misguided the intellects and views in every era”. [5]

Indeed, we completely disassociate ourselves from the statements and actions of anyone who believes that Mr. Haqiqatjou should be physically harmed or killed, and may Allah protect our hearts, mouths, and tongues from such transgression, Aameen.

Finally, it is incumbent upon him to cease being an arrogant liar as well as abandon this fictitious Mad’khali labelling that is constantly manifesting his fraudulent behaviour as our Senior Salafi teachers [Shaikh Abu Iyaad and Shaikh Abu Khadeejah] give unambiguous knowledge-based clarifications and those duped by him become more certain that he is nothing more than a spiteful attention seeker who harbours hatred against the Salafiyyoon because they are a deterrent to his misguidance and vain desires.

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

Indeed, if Dr. Muhammad Ibn Haadi had simply declared those specific Salafiyyoon to be ahlul bidah, it would have been sufficient to regard his position as dangerous, so what about the fact that he went beyond that to pronounce Tabdee against them?! [Footnote a]

Allah [The Most High] said: [ أَفَمَن زُيِّنَ لَهُ سُوءُ عَمَلِهِ فَرَآهُ حَسَنًا – Is he, then, to whom the evil of his deeds made fair seeming so that he considers it as good (equal to one who is rightly guided)?] [Surah Faatir; Ayah 8] Sa’eed Bin Jubair [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “This was revealed concerning the people of bidah and desires”. [(1)]

Allah [The Most High] said: [وَلَا تَرۡكَنُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ فَتَمَسَّكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ -And incline not toward those who do wrong, lest the Fire should touch you]. [Surah Hud: Ayah 113]

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi [may Allaah protect him] said, “The word [ظلم –wrong] in [this ayah] can [mean] disbelief; it can mean bidah and it can be [فسوق i.e. sinful, immoral behaviour], because (ظلم) can apply to all [i.e. in different contexts]. Therefore, we refrain from inclining towards the evildoers, the people of bidah, the Kuffaar, the Ilmaaniyyoon, and other than them. And we protect ourselves, our Aqeedah, the Imaan and sound religion which Allah has bestowed on us”. [(2)]

Ahmad Ibn Sinaan Al-Qattaan [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “There is no Mubtadi in the world except that he hates Ahlul Hadeeth, and when a man innovates (in the religion), the sweetness of hadeeth is removed from his heart”. [(3)]

Ibnul Jawzi said, Abul Wafaa Ibn Aqeel Al-Faqee said, our Shaikh Abul Fadl Al-Hamdaani said, “The Mubtadi’ah (innovators in religious affairs) in Islam and the fabricators of Hadeeth are worse than the Mulhiddoon [i.e. the heretics] because the heretics aim to corrupt Islam from the outside, whilst these (people) want to corrupt it from within. They [i.e. the innovators and the fabricators of hadeeth] are similar to the people of a country who try to corrupt its state of affairs and the heretics are similar to those who lay a siege from the outside, so the ones from within [i.e. the innovators and fabricators of hadeeth] open the fortress. Therefore, they are more harmful to Islam than those who do not (ascribe) themselves to it outwardly”. [(4)]

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: “The pious predecessors named Ahlul Bidah Wal Furqah [i.e the people of Bidah and Splitting]- those who oppose the Book and the Sunnah- ahlul ahwaa [the people of desires] because they accept what they love and reject what they hate based on their desires without guidance from Allah”. [(5)]

Ibn Abbaas [may Allah be pleased with him and his father] said, “Do not sit with the people of desires; for indeed it causes sickness of the heart”. [(6)]

Imaam Ahmad [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “Beware of writing down (knowledge) from one of the people of desires-be it a little or a lot”. [(7)]

Sa’eed Ibn Amr Al-Bardha’ee [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: I witnessed when Abu Zur’ah was asked about Haarith Al-Muhaasibee and his books, so he said to the questioner: “Beware of these books; they are books of bidah and misguidance”. [(8)]

Sallaam Ibn Abee Mutee [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: A man from the people of desires said to Ayyoub As-Sakhtiyaanee, “O Abaa-Bakr! I want to ask you about some statement”, so Ayyoub walked away and started gesturing with his finger, saying, “Not even half a statement”. [(9)]

These are some of the descriptions and treatments a person deserves – depending on the severity of his Bidah or misguidance – when he innovates into the religion and persists after the proofs have been established, then how about passing this judgment due to anger, haste, and exaggeration! Dr. Muhammad Bin Haadi [may Allah rectify his affair] passed the judgment of Tabdee against some people of Sunnah based on haste, anger, oppression, and speculation, so Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi al-Mad’khali, Al-Allaamah Ubaid Bin Abdillaah al-Jaabiri and others repelled his transgressions. Therefore, by hastening praise and retweeting those whose affairs call for caution and clarity, some social media influencers speaking in the name of Salafiyah are gradually opening a can of worms for themselves. So, you find them promoting the likes of Dr Sulaymaan Ar-Ruhayli and others. Therefore, we should be very cautious of the activities of those who mix up the affairs by retweeting both the people of clarity and those whose mistakes and stances require caution and warning. Just as there is no ambiguity regarding Dr. Muhammad Bin Haadi’s affair since he explicitly opposed what is lawful and committed what is clearly unlawful by making Tabdee without proof, there is no ambiguity regarding Dr. Sulaymaan Ar-Ruhaylee’s affair because he openly and stubbornly supports him. Read and listen on the following links regarding both of them: Al-Allaamah Rabiʿ’s request for Shaykh Muḥammad bin Hādī to justify his tabdīʿ of Salafī students and shaykhs and to explicitly name the major scholars he accused of being “affected” and “destroyed” by the “Ṣaʿāfiqah” – one month, no answer- By Shaikh Abu Iyaad: Reminder: Shaykh Rabiʿ’s request for Shaykh Muḥammad bin Hādī to justify his tabdīʿ of Salafī students and shaykhs and to explicitly name the major scholars he accused of being “affected” and “destroyed” by the “Ṣaʿāfiqah” – one month, no answer:

Documents and Resources for Countering the Doubts of the Muṣaʿfiqah

Therefore, the only affair that remains is for Dr. Muhammad Bin Haadi to recant his errors as well as for Dr. Sulayman ar-Ruhayli and others to withdraw their support for him. We conclude this article with the following beautiful advice of some of the scholars of Ahlus Sunnah. Ibnul Arabi [may Allah have mercy upon him] said:

Muhammad Bin Qaasim Al-Uthmaanee [may Allah have mercy upon him] told me more than once: “I arrived in Fustat one day, then I went to the gathering of Shaikh Abee Al-Fadl Al-Jawharee [may Allah have mercy upon him] and there I witnessed a statement that he uttered to the people. And that which he stated – in the first gathering when I sat with him – was that ‘The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] طلق – i.e. he did divorce, ظاهر – i.e. he did utter the statement to a wife, ‘You are like my mother’s back’, and آلى – i.e. he made an oath to abandon his wives for a month”.

When he (i.e. Shaikh Abee Al-Fadl Al-Jawharee) left, I followed him until I reached his house with a group of people; then he sat with us in the vestibule and acquainted them with my affair because he saw a stranger [i.e. I (Muhammad Bin Qaasim)] and did not know the person among those who came to him before. When most of them departed from him, he said to me, “I see that you are a stranger; do you have anything to say?” I said, “Yes”. He said to his companions, “Excuse him from having to speak in your presence”, so, they got up and I stayed alone with him. I said to him, “I attended your gathering today so that Allah may bless me (with some of the knowledge you possess), and I heard you say, ‘Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] آلى – i.e. he once made an oath to abandon his wives for a month and what you said was true; طلق – i.e. he did divorce women, and what you said was true, and you said that Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] ظاهر i.e. he did utter the statement to a wife, ‘You are like my mother’s back’, but this never happened and can never be correct to say that it happened, because indeed Az-Zihaar [i.e. to say to one’s wife, ‘You are like my mother’s back’ (i.e. unlawful for me to approach)] is an evil statement and false speech, and this can never be uttered by the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him]”. [Footnote b] He hugged and kissed my forehead, and said, “I repent from this statement. May Allah reward you on my behalf as a good teacher”.

I departed from his presence, and the next day I went early to his gathering, but he was in the Central Mosque before me and was sitting on the pulpit. When I entered the Masjid and thus he saw me, he called out at the top of his voice (saying), “Welcome, my teacher. Make room for my teacher”. So, the people turned towards me and their eyes stared at me! O Abu Bakr! And you know me – meaning, he (i.e. Muhammad Bin Qaasim Al-Uthmaanee) was indicating to Ibnul Arabi about his extremely shy character because when someone greeted him by surprise, he would feel shy – due to his extreme shyness – and turned red as if his face was painted with Gulnaar (pomegranate blossom). He (i.e. Muhammad Bin Qaasim) continued, “People hastened towards me, raising their hands towards me (i.e. acknowledging me) and nudging me until I reached the pulpit, and I did not know in which part of the earth I was due to my extreme shyness (i.e. shocked), whilst the Masjid was overcrowded with people and I sweated due to shyness. Then the Shaikh turned towards the people and said to them, ‘I am your teacher and this is my teacher! Yesterday, I told you that Allah’s Messenger آلى – i.e. he once made an oath to abandon his wives for a month; طلق – i.e. he did divorce women, and ظاهر i.e. he once uttered the statement to a wife, ‘You are like my mother’s back’, and neither did a single one of you give me the correct understanding nor respond to me, but he (i.e. Muhammad Bin Qaasim) followed me to my house and said such and such to me. I repeat (i.e. right now) what took place between him and I, repent from yesterday’s statement, and return to the truth. Whoever hears it from those who were present, let him not rely on what he says, and let the one who is present convey this affair to the absent one. May Allaah reward him with good’”. Then he (i.e. Shaikh Abee Al-Fadl) started supplicating a lot and the people responded with Aameen. Ibnul Arabi stated – after narrating this incident- “So look – may Allah have mercy upon you – at this firm adherence to the religion and an acknowledgment of the people of knowledge given by this man – whose leadership was manifest and whose worth was well known- to a stranger whom he neither knew nor where he came from! Follow his example and you’ll be led aright”. [(10)]

Shaikh Abdus Salaam Burgess [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “Just as it is obligated on a student to recant a mistake, then likewise it is obligated on a teacher to return to the truth when he errs. He is not to be prevented from returning to the truth after reviewing a statement he made and finds that it is in opposition to what is correct, because indeed that is a sign of equity and humbling (oneself) to the truth. Therefore, one must follow what is correct, whether it was (conveyed) by a younger or older person. It is a blessing for a teacher that he has amongst his students one who notifies him of his mistake and leads him to what is correct so that he does not persist in that ignorance. This requires that one shows gratitude to Allaah [The Exalted] and then being thankful to the person through whom one was guided (to what is correct), whether it was a student or other than him”. [(11)]

Imam Muhammad Ibn Saalih Al-Uthaymeen [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: It is obligated to a person to return to the truth wherever he finds it; even if it opposes his statement, he should return to (the truth) because this is nobility for him in the Sight of Allah, nobility in the eyes of the people, safer for his state of accountability and vindication, and it will not harm him. Therefore, do not think that if you abandon your statement for what is correct, this will lower your status among the people; rather, this will raise your status and people will know that you only follow the truth. As for the stubborn one- remains as he is, and rejects the truth, this is an arrogant person, and Allah’s refuge is sought. This happens to some people, even to students of knowledge, and Allah’s refuge is sought. It becomes clear to him – after discussion – regarding what is correct and that what is correct is contrary to what he said yesterday, however, he remains in his opinion. Shaytan makes him preoccupied with thinking that if returns (to what is correct), the people will denounce him and say, “This person is a yes-man who makes a different statement every day”. This (i.e. if the people were to utter this view about him) does not harm if he returns to what is correct. [(12)]

Finally, we remind ourselves that it does not matter who makes the truth apparent to us. Allah [The Exalted] said: [وَٱلَّذِینَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ بِـَٔایَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ لَمۡ یَخِرُّوا۟ عَلَیۡهَا صُمࣰّا وَعُمۡیَانࣰا – And those who, when they are reminded of the Signs of their Lord, fall not deaf and blind thereat]. [Surah Al-Furqan. Ayah 73]

Imaam Muhammad ibn Saalih Al-Uthaymeen [may Allah have mercy upon him] commented on this Ayah: The one who gives the reminder is not made known, so it includes everyone who gives the reminder; and to show that their acceptance of the reminder is not due to the specific person who gives the reminder, because there are people who do not accept the truth except from a specific person. If it comes from another person, he does not accept it, such as what the People of the Scripture did to the Prophet [peace and blessings be upon him], and also other than them. They do not accept the truth except from a specific group or a specific person. Allah said:

[وَلَئِنْ أَتَيْتَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ بِكُلِّ آيَةٍ مَا تَبِعُوا قِبْلَتَكَ – And even if you were to bring to the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) all the Signs, they would not follow your Qiblah (prayer direction)]. [Surah Al-Baqarah. Ayah 145]

So here (in this Ayah), Allah said: [إِذَا ذُكِّرُوا – And those who, when they are reminded].

The one who gives the reminder is not made known, which shows that they accept the truth because it is the truth- not due to who says it. They do not accept or reject reminder due to the specific person who gives the reminder, but rather they accept it because it is a reminder. This is the Faa’idah behind not mentioning the doer of the action (i.e. the one who gives the reminder). [(13)] 

The difference between a Saahib Al-Bidah and a Mubtadi:

This Man is from Ahlul Bidah! [Does This Necessitate That He is a Mubtadi?]

 

Footnote b: Zihaar: Allaah [The Exalted] said:

ٱلَّذِينَ يُظَـٰهِرُونَ مِنكُم مِّن نِّسَآٮِٕهِم مَّا هُنَّ أُمَّهَـٰتِهِمۡ‌ۖ إِنۡ أُمَّهَـٰتُهُمۡ إِلَّا ٱلَّـٰٓـِٔى وَلَدۡنَهُمۡ‌ۚ وَإِنَّہُمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ مُنڪَرً۬ا مِّنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ وَزُورً۬ا‌ۚ وَإِنَّ

Those among you who make their wives unlawful (Az-Zihar) to them by saying to them “You are like my mother’s back.” They cannot be their mothers. None can be their mothers except those who gave them birth. And verily, they utter an evil statement and a lie. [Surah Al-Mujaadilah. Ayah 2]

Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with him] narrated that the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “Love your beloved one modestly, for it may be that he will become hated to you someday. And hate the one whom you hate modestly, for it may be that he will become your beloved one someday”. [1]

Ibnul Atheer [may Allaah have mercy upon him] stated, “This means that you should love your loved one with moderation and not overdo it. Do not take your love and hate to extremes, since you might one day despise the one you used to love and love the one you used to detest. Therefore, neither exaggerate your love and become regretful (in the future) nor exaggerate your hatred and become shy in the presence of the one you used to despise when you no longer despise him. [2]

True Brotherhood Between Teachers and Students

The text of this reminder was quoted by Ustaadh Abu Ukaasha [may Allah preserve him and all the teachers] during the one-day conference in Stoke On Trent

Shaikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allah have mercy on him] said:

ﻭﻟﻴﺲ ﻟﻠﻤﻌﻠﻤﻴﻦ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺤﺰﺑﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ
ﻭﻳﻔﻌﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﺎ ﻳﻠﻘﻲ ﺑﻴﻨﻬﻢ ﺍﻟﻌﺪﺍﻭﺓ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻐﻀﺎﺀ،
ﺑﻞ ﻳﻜﻮﻧﻮﻥ ﻣﺜﻞ ﺍﻷﺧﻮﺓ ﺍﻟﻤﺘﻌﺎﻭﻧﻴﻦ ﻋﻠﻰ
ﺍﻟﺒﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻘﻮﻱ ﻛﻤﺎ ﻗﺎﻝ ﺗﻌﺈﻟﻰ
وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى وَلا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الإثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ
وليس لأحد منهم أن يأخذ على أحد عهداً بموافقته على كل ما يريده وموالاة من يواليه ومعاداة من يعاديه،بل من فعل هذا كان من جنس جنكز خان وأمثاله الذين يجعلون من وافقهم صديقاً واليا، ومن خالفهم عدوَّا باغيا، بل عليهم وعلى أتباعهم عهد الله ورسوله بأن يطيعوا الله ورسوله ويفعلوا ما أمر الله ورسوله ويحرموا ما حرم الله ورسوله ويرعوا حقوق المعلمين كما أمر الله ورسوله، فإن كان أستاذ أحد مظلوماً نصره، وإن كان ظالماً لم يعاونه على الظلم بل يمنعه منه كما ثبت في الصحيح أنه قال:
(انصر أخاك ظالماً أو مظلوماً. قيل: يا رسول الله: أنصره مظلوماً فكيف أنصره ظالماً؟. قال تمنعه من الظلم فذلك نصرك إياه).
وإذا وقع بين معلم ومعلم أو تلميذ وتلميذ أو معلم وتلميذ خصومة ومشاجرة لم يجز لأحد أن يعين أحدهما حتى يعلم الحق، فلا يعاونه بجهل ولا بهوى، بل ينظر في الأمر، فإذا تبين له الحق أعان المحق منهما على المبطل سواء كان المحق من أصحابه أو أصحاب غيره، وسواء كان المبطل من أصحابه أو أصحاب غيره، فيكون المقصود عبادة الله وحده وطاعة رسوله واتباع الحق والقيام بالقسط
قال تعالى
يا أيها الذين آمنوا كونوا قوامين بالقسط شهداء لله ولو على أنفسكم أو الوالدين والأقربين، إن يكن غنياً أو فقيراً فالله أولى بهما، فلا تتبعوا الهوى أن تعدلوا وإن تلووا أو تعرضوا فإن الله كان بما تعملون خبيراً

It not allowed for the teachers to initiate (illegal) partisanship between the people and do that which would cause enmity and hatred between them; but rather they should be brothers who cooperate upon righteousness and piety, as Allah [The Exalted] said:

[وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ – Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa [virtue, righteousness and piety]; but do not help one another in sin and transgression]. [Surah Al-Maa’idah. Ayah 2]

It is not allowed for any of them to receive a pledge from anyone to agree with him in everything he wants – having allegiance to the one he is allied to and enmity against the one he harbours enmity, and whoever does this is similar to Genghis Khan and his ilk (in this affair), who take as their loyal friends the one in agreement with them and the one who opposes them as a rebellious enemy; rather it is obligated on them and their followers (i.e. the teachers) to fulfil the covenant of Allah and His Messenger by obeying Allah and His Messenger, doing that which Allah and His Messenger have commanded, declare unlawful that which Allah and His Messenger have declared unlawful, and preserve the rights of the teachers in the manner commanded by Allah and His Messenger. So, if one’s teacher is oppressed, he should help him; but if the teacher is the oppressor, he should not aid him in his act of oppression; rather he forbids him from it, as it has been established in the authentic books of hadeeth that the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one. People asked, “O Allah’s Messenger! It is all right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?” The Prophet said, “By preventing him from oppressing others.” [Saheeh Al-Bukhaari 2444]

If an argument and dispute occur between a teacher and another teacher, or between a student and another student, it is not permissible for anyone to help one of them until he knows the truth – neither to aid him based on ignorance nor desires; rather he examines the affair, so if the truth becomes clear to him, he helps the one who deserves to be helped (due to him being upon the truth) against the one upon error – regardless whether the one who deserves to be helped is one of his companions or the companion of someone else, or whether the one upon error is one of his companions or the companion of someone else. Therefore, the aim is only to worship Allah alone, obedience to Allah’s Messenger, adherence to truth and establishment of justice. Allah [The Exalted] said:

يا أيها الذين آمنوا كونوا قوامين بالقسط شهداء لله ولو على أنفسكم أو الوالدين والأقربين، إن يكن غنياً أو فقيراً فالله أولى بهما، فلا تتبعوا الهوى أن تعدلوا وإن تلووا أو تعرضوا فإن الله كان بما تعملون خبيراً

O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah; even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allah is a Better Protector to both (than you). So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do. [Surah An-Nisaa. Ayah 135] [3]

Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “There are not two people who love each other for the sake of Allah, and then they split from each other, except that it is due to a sin of one of them”. [4]

Al-Allaamah Zaid Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated in Awnul Ahadis Samad Sharhu Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1/445-446: Those who love one another are attached and remain upon that until one of them commits a sin that leads to the destruction of this legislated love- the love that was established for the sake of Allah and Islamic brotherhood. Therefore, it is a good thing that the person (i.e. the one at fault) abandons the sin he committed, which was the cause of separation between them so that brotherhood for the sake of Allah is restored as it was before, and so that both the religious and worldly benefits of that brotherly love can continue. The basis of the sin committed by one of them may have occurred without any external influence (i.e. was solely the person’s fault), or it may have occurred due to tale-bearing and instigated by some of the devils amongst mankind- those who hasten to cause corruption in the earth. [End of quote]

Therefore, instead of haphazardly praising or retweeting this or that one in the name of unifying the Salafi ranks, one should first and foremost know the truth because “The truth is not known by way of men, rather men are known by way of the truth?” Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] stated regarding this statement: “Its meaning is that we do not merely blindly follow anyone because it may be that one is blindly followed based on error. It may be that the Mujtahid is mistaken and the one who makes [a statement or holds an opinion] is mistaken, so we do not take (his statement, opinion, etc) and say, ‘This is the statement of such as such; this is truth because such and such is good, he is a scholar; such and such is Taqiy [i.e. one who fears Allah]’. We do not say this because he is not infallible and he can make a mistake, therefore, we know men by way of the truth – those who know, those who take (or adhere to) the proofs, and indeed they are known to be scholars. As for those who do not give concern to the proofs, they are not scholars; they are not people of (sound) understanding and they are not people of knowledge, so their statement is never taken straight away. The proof must be presented, so if the proof is established as a witness to (what he says or holds, etc), then it is the truth; but if he opposes the proof, then indeed (his statement or opinion) is rejected; however, if he is a Mujtahid and he is mistaken, he is rewarded (once) due to his Ijtihaad; but if he deliberately holds on to error, he has sinned. [Paraphrased. Refer to the video here: https://video.link/w/9famb ]

As a result of everything stated above, those social media influencers rushing to praise without insight must reflect before speaking lest their speech dupes the unsuspecting person who would have preferred clarity rather than being put on trial by the Musaafiqah and those who still support them.

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

An-Nu’man Bin Basheer [may Allah be pleased with him] said, “I heard Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] saying, ‘That which is lawful is clear and that which is unlawful is clear, and between the two are ambiguous matters which many people do not know of. So whoever took caution regarding the ambiguous matters has absolved himself regarding his religion and his honour. And whoever fell into the doubtful matters has fallen into the unlawful, just like the shepherd who grazes his flock around the sanctuary (of a king), all but grazing therein. Indeed, every king has a sanctuary (that cannot be violated) and indeed the sanctuary of Allāh is his prohibitions. Indeed, there is a morsel of flesh in the body which if it is sound the whole body is sound, and which if it is corrupt the whole body is corrupt. Indeed, it is the heart'” [https://www.nawawis40hadith.com/nw/hadith/6/the-doubtful-matters ]

Shaikh Al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “Falsehood does not spread except with a mixture of some truth just as Ahlul Kitaab mixed truth with falsehood; and by way of the little truth they possessed, they misguided many from the truth and called them to a lot of the falsehood”. [1]

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] said, “There is one who comes to two disputing parties and misguides them and does not give greater weight to the truth. He has a new doctrine which he considers to be balanced, but it is falsehood and sophistry”. [2]

Indeed, by hastening praise and retweeting those whose affairs call for caution and clarity, some social media influencers speaking in the name of Salafiyah are gradually opening a can of worms for themselves. So, you find them promoting the likes of Dr Sulaymaan Ar-Ruhayli and others. Therefore, we should be very cautious of the activities of those who mix up the affairs by retweeting both the people of clarity and those whose mistakes and stances require caution and warning. Just as there is no ambiguity regarding Dr Muhammad Bin Haadi’s affair since he explicitly opposed what is lawful and committed what is clearly unlawful by making Tabdee without proof, there is no ambiguity regarding Dr Sulaymaan Ar-Ruhaylee’s affair because he openly and stubbornly supports him.

Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood said, “Make consideration of the (regions of the) earth by the names given to them & make consideration of a person by his companion”. [al-Ibaanah 2/479] Translated by Spubs

Mu’aadh Bin Mu’aadh said to Yahyah Bin Sa’eed, O Abu Sa’eed! A person may hide his viewpoint from us, but will not be able to hide that in his son, or his friend or in one whom he sits with”. [Al-Ibaanah 2/437] Translated by Spubs

The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “If one of you is afflicted with a calamity, then let him reflect upon his calamity through me (i.e. my death), for indeed it is the greatest of calamities”. [1]

Imam Al-Qurtubi [may Allah have mercy upon him] reported in his Tafseer that Imam Ibn Abdil Barr [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “Indeed, he [the Messenger] spoke the truth because the calamity that results from his death is greater than every calamity that will afflict a Muslim after him until the day of judgement. The revelation stopped and Prophethood ceased (forever)”. [2] There is nothing more severe upon the Muslims than the death of Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] because indeed he was the most trustworthy and perfect guide for the Ummah. [3]

May Allah grant our Palestinian brothers and sisters patience and relief, grant mercy upon those who have lost their lives and a speedy recovery to the injured Aameen.

One of the powerful supplications to remember whilst supplicating for our defenceless Palestinian brothers and sisters

Anas Bin Malik [may Allah be pleased with him] said, I was sitting with Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] and a man was offering prayer. He then made supplication:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ يَا حَىُّ يَا قَيُّومُ

“O Allah, I ask You by virtue of the fact that (all) praise is due to You, there is no deity worthy of worship, except You, The Beneficent Bestower of Bounties. The One such that all favors and blessings originate from Him. Al-Mannaan (The One Who granted them and favored the creation with them). (a) The Originator of the Heavens and the Earth, the Owner of Majesty and Honour. The Ever-Living Who always remains without any beginning or any end, with Perfect and Ever-Lasting Life, Who never dies nor passes away, The Self-Subsisting One upon Whom everything depends. The One Who sustains everything that exists. The One Who has no need whatsoever of anything but rather everything in existence has total need of Him”. (b) The Prophet then said, “He has supplicated Allah using His Greatest Name when supplicated by this name, He answers, and when asked by this name He gives”. [1]

[11.2] Abu Makkah’s Companion (Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq) Opens a Can of Worms

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

Muhammad Abdur-Razzaaq stated:

Imaam Ahmad [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated in a letter to the Khaleefah Al-Mutawakkil [may Allah have mercy upon him], “Among other things, it is not permissible to seek the aid and assistance of Ahlul Bid’ah Wal-Ahwaa [the people of Bidah and vain desires] in anything regarding the affairs of the Muslims because that is of greater harm upon the religion”. [1]

We ask Muhammad: Is there anything that a supporter of bid’ah would accomplish that the Scholars of Sunnah of our time haven’t already done, whether through their speech, publications, refutations, or the clarifications of their upright students in the East and the West?! In addition to the fact that this person still upholds his bid’ah, does Islam need a proponent of bid’ah to defend anything on its behalf?! Is it not more important for a proponent of Bid’ah in the East or West to give up his Bid’ah than to refute the Kuffaar, which has been done for many years and is still being done by upright people of Sunnah?! Can Muhammad guarantee that applauding any proponent of Bidah will not garner him more esteem and make the people more inclined towards him, making him a greater trial and evil for the common people and those duped by him?!

Imam Ash-Shaatibee [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: “Indeed, showing reverence to a person of Bid’ah is the basis of two corruptions that lead to the destruction of Islam. One of them is that the ignorant and the common people will pay attention to that reverence, and believe that the Mubtadi is the best of people and that what he is doing is better than what others are doing, so this leads them to follow him in his Bida’ah and not follow Ahlus Sunnah in their adherence to Sunnah. The second affair is that if he is shown reverence due to his Bid’ah, this would become like the spur for him to initiate Bid’ah in everything. And whatever the case may be, Bida’ah will become alive and the Sunan dies, which is the destruction of Islam itself”. [2]

Finally, Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali [may Allah preserve him] stated: Being mindful of Ahlul Bid’ah, having hatred for them, boycotting and cutting them off is the correct path of protection of Ahlus Sunnah against falling into their Fitnah. Being lackadaisical about them, having a good suspicion of them, and inclining towards them is the beginning of the path of misguidance and deviation.

وَلَا تَرۡكَنُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ فَتَمَسَّكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ

And incline not toward those who do wrong, lest the fire should touch you.
Surah Hud. Ayah 113

Who is more unjust than Ahlul Bid’ah? Ahlul Bid’ah are more evil than the sinners and the disobedient, and for that reason, the Jusrist of Basra and the most intelligent of them Salaam Bin Abee Mutee [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “It is more beloved to me that I meet Allah with Hajjaaj’s scroll of (deeds in the Hereafter) than meet Him with Amr Bin Ubaid’s”. Amr Bin Ubaid was a Zaahid and a worshipper Maashaa-Allaah, but he was a Mubtadi and a misguided one, and Hajjaaj was an evil-doer, a shedder of blood, and a criminal. He [Salaam Bin Abee Mutee] held that if he were to make a choice between meeting Allah with Hajjaaj’s scroll and that of Amr Bin Ubaid, he would choose to meet Allah with Hajjaaj’s -the bloodshedder and oppressive evil doer. And why is this? Due to his realisation of the danger and ugliness of bid’ah. And it is enough for us that the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] described (bidah) in his khutbah as the worst of all affairs, as reported in the Hadeeth of Jaabir [may Allah be pleased with him]. [3]

Question to Muhammad: We are all aware that Zuhd and commitment to worship are virtues adored by the Ummah, and those who possess these outstanding traits are held in high regard; therefore, why did Salaam Bin Abee Mutee regard the Mubtadi’ah in such a way that a Zaahid and dedicated worshipper was not honoured in his eyes?! The answer is very clear for everyone to see.

[11.1] Abu Makkah’s Companion Opens a Can of Worms

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Contemporary Issues, Refutations, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

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

Muhammad Abdur-Razzaaq stated:

First, if what is intended in Muhammad’s statement is someone who has bidah, but he deserves an excuse based on what the upright people of knowledge – those who are well-acquainted with his affair – know about him in detail, as well as the fact that the clear proofs have not been established against him, then indeed, here is what is said about such a person: “Someone who was from Ahlus-Sunnah, well known for seeking the truth but he fell into a subtle bid‘ah. So if this person dies, then it is not permitted to make tabdī’ of him, rather he is mentioned with good. And if he is alive, he is advised and the truth is made clear to him, and one does not hasten to make tabdī’ of him, but if he persists [upon innovation], then he is declared an innovator. Shaikhul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah, died 728H) stated: “There are many from the Mujtahidīn (Scholars) of the Salaf and of later times who spoke with and acted upon innovation whilst not knowing it to be an innovation. This was either due to weak ahadīth that they thought were authentic, or Quranic Verses they understood in an incorrect manner, or due to an opinion one would hold in an issue because the texts had not reached him. So if a man fears his Lord to the best of his ability, he enters into the saying of Allāh: “Our Lord, do not take us to account if we are forgetful or mistaken.” And there occurs in a hadīth that Allāh stated [in response]: “I have done so.” And this matter has been explained in another place”. [1]

Second, if what is intended in Muhammad’s statement is one who is not known to be from Ahlus Sunnah as well as the fact that he is a caller to Bidah and he has no excuse, then indeed, the affair is even more serious.

Third, if what is intended is an ignorant person, then indeed, everyone knows that such a one should be reminded that some of the Scholars stated “Silence beautifies the Scholar and conceals the ignorance of the ignoramus”.

However, regardless of who this person may be, the first, the second, or the third, it is not allowed to mention the people of Bidah with praise. Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allaah preserve him] said: “It is not permissible to exalt and praise the proponents of Bidah even if they have some truth with them. That is because raising and praising them will spread their bidah and place them amongst the sincere ones who are taken as examples amongst distinguished men of this Ummah. The proponents of Bidah must be warned against and shunned even if they have some truth with them. Indeed, the most astray are not devoid of some truth, but as long as they have Bidah with them and sinful views, it is not permissible to praise and exalt them. It is impermissible not to have an objection against their Bidah because this spreads bidah, belittles the Sunnah and by way of this, the Mubtadi will emerge and become a guide for the Ummah. As for the consideration that the Mubtadi has some truth, this does not justify praising him. This -to a far greater extent- is against what is of overriding benefit, and it is known based on a principle in the religion that preventing harm takes precedence over seeking that which is of benefit. With regard to having hatred for the Mubtadi, the harm that is repelled from the Ummah is weightier than the benefit possessed by the Mubtadi. And had we adhered to this [praising an innovator because he has some truth with him], then no one would have been judged to be misguided and declared a Mubtadi because there is not a Mubtadi except that he has some truth and adherence to the Sunnah. The Mubtadi may neither be a disbeliever nor in opposition to all the Islamic legislation; rather he is either a Mubtadi in some or most of the affairs. (Footnote a) However, if the Bidah is particularly related to affairs of Creed and Methodology, then it is dangerous indeed because it will become an example (to be followed), Bidah will spread and the Mubtadi’ah will become active in spreading their Bidah. Therefore, this person who praises Mubtadi’ah and makes their affair obscure to the people -due to some truth they have – is one of two: either one ignorant of the methodology of the pious predecessors and their stance against the Mubtadi’ah, and it is neither permissible for this ignorant one to speak nor is it permissible for the Muslims to listen to him; or he is one who has an objection to the truth because he knows the danger of Bidah and the Mubtadi’ah, but he wishes to spread Bidah. Nevertheless, this is a dangerous affair and it is not permissible to be lackadaisical with regard to Bidah and its adherents whatever that may be. [2]

Finally, Muhammad has not made it known the specific individual intended in his statement so that the affair of such one is scrutinised based on what the upright Scholars or elder students of knowledge know about him in detail.

Abu Qilaabah said, “May Allaah fight the poet [an expression of amazement in Arabic] who said: Do not ask about a man, but ask about his companion. For every person guides himself by his companion. This poetry is by Adee bin Zaid, and al-Asma’ee said about it, “I have never seen a line of poetry which resembles the Sunnah more than this saying of Adee bin Zaid.” Al-Ibaanah (2/439)

Abu Hurairah – radiallaahu anhu – said, the Messenger of Allaah said, “A person is upon the deen of his friend, so let each one of you look at whom he befriends.” Saheeh. Refer to Silsilah as-Saheehah of al-Albaani (no.927)

Ibn Mas’ood – radiallaahu anhu – said, “Indeed a person walks alongside and accompanies the one whom he loves and who is like him.” Al-Ibaanah (2/476)

Abu ad-Dardaa – radiallaahu anhu – said, “It is from the fiqh (understanding of a person) that he [chooses] those whom he walks with, whom he enters upon (visits) and whom he sits with.” Al-Ibaanah (2/477)

Imaam Al-Awzaa’ee said, “Whoever hides his innovation from us will not be able to hide his companionship from us.” Al-Ibaanah (2/476)

Al-A’mash said, “They (the Salaf) did not used to ask anything more about a person after having asked about three affairs: Who he walks with, who he enters upon (i.e. visits) and who he associates with amongst the people.” Al-Ibaanah (2/478)

Abdullaah bin Mas’ood -radiallaahu anhu – said, “Make consideration of the (regions of the) Earth by the names given to them and make consideration of a person by his companion.” Al-Ibaanah (2/479)

Muhammad bin Ubaid al-Ghulaabee said, “The Ahl ul-Ahwaa (People of Desires) hide everything except their intimate friendship and companionship.” Al-Ibaanah (2/482)

Mu’aadh bin Mu’aadh said to Yahyaa bin Sa’eed, “O Abu Sa’eed! A person may hide his viewpoint from us, but he will not be able to hide that in his son, or his friend or in the one whom he sits with.” Al-Ibaanah (2/437)

Ibn Awn said, “Those who sit with the People of Innovation are more severe upon us than the People of Innovation themselves.” Al-Ibaanah (2/273). [3]

Al-Allaamah Ubaid Bin Abdillah Al-Jaabiri [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “If a person’s affair is hidden from you, the one whose books and cassettes are well-known and whose popularity is widespread, then ask those who are well acquainted with him and his situation. Neither the Sunnah nor its adherents are hidden, and a man’s Tazkiyah is his own deeds – his Tazkiyah is his own deeds that he is an adherent to the Sunnah. It is the witness, and people refer to him with it both during his life and after his death”. [4]

Footnote a: Bidah Al-Mukaffirah and Bidah Al-Mufassiqah:

Bidah Al-Mukaffirah: It is the Bidah that is tantamount to disbelief. Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali (may Allaah preserve him) was asked whether there is a difference between Bidah Al-Mukaffirah and Bidah Al-Mufassiqah; so Shaikh said that there is Bidah Mukaffirah, such as rejecting the Ruyah (i.e. denying that the believers will see Allaah in the afterlife); rejecting Allaah’s Uluww [i.e. denying that Allaah is above his creation –Allaah ascended over the Throne in a way that benefits his majesty)]; invoking other than Allaah; offering slaughtered sacrifice (i.e. animals) to other than Allaah etc. These are affairs of Bidah Al-Mukaffirah (the bidah that is tantamount to disbelief).

But we do not make Takfeer of the people who commit this type of Bidah until we establish the proof against them. That is because some of them (i.e. the people who fall into these affairs) carry doubts and are far away from the era of Prophethood and its light (i.e. guidance). So they fall into the likes of these innovations.

Rejecting the Ruyah is disbelief; rejecting Allaah’s Uluww is disbelief; the saying that the Qur’an is created is disbelief-major disbelief. But this person, -[who testifies that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allaah, and he prays, observes fasting, wants paradise and believes in that] -received the doubts of the people of falsehood, so he falls into the likes of these affairs (i.e. these innovations that are tantamount to disbelief). So we say to him: You have fallen into disbelief and the evidence is this and this, and we clarify for him. So if Allaah grants him Tawfeeq and he returns to the truth, then all praise is due to Allaah. But if not, we declare him a disbeliever after establishing the proofs against him.

As for Bidah Al-Mufassiqah it is other than this (i.e. it is not at the level of that which is tantamount to disbelief)…. www.rabee.net/ar/questions.php?cat=26&id=484 ]
