The questioner asked Imaam Al-Albaani about migration and the issue of Palestine – [Part 3]

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

The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said: “Indeed, the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets, for the prophets do not leave behind a dinar or a dirham for inheritance, but rather, they leave behind knowledge. So whoever takes hold of it, has acquired a large share (i.e. of inheritance)”. [Sunan At-Tirmidhee 2682]

The Conversation Begins

Questioner: But is the issue of (jihad and intention) not required – at present – that all Muslims perform Jihad even in Palestine- inside Palestine?

The Shaikh: This question is also completely on my side. Who is performing jihad? O, my brother! You do not know your situation here. Do you not know that the Yahood at present made it forbidden by (their) law for Muslims to fight (on behalf of the Palestinians)?

Questioner: Yes, well known.

The Shaikh: Then why do you ignore the real state of affairs?

Questioner: I do not want to ignore (the real state of affairs).

The Shaikh: You say that it is not obligatory, but there is Jihad and intention. Now we must take a position: is Jihad to be performed based on the excitement of a person, (one with) neither with a state nor is he a ruler, nor is he a soldier, but rather an excited young man? Is this Jihad in the path of Allah? Allah [The Exalted] said:

و أعدّوا لهم ما استطعتم من قوة و من رباط الخيل ترهبون به عدو الله و عدوّكم

And make ready against them all you can of power, including steeds of war to threaten the enemy of Allah and your enemy. [Surah Al-Anfaal. Ayah 60]

This address, first of all, is to whom? We presented this research in several audio tapes. Is the statement “Make ready” an address to the believers? Where are the believers? Those who consume usury, turn their backs on one another, argue with each other, and engage in illegal partisanship – each party rejoicing with what they have?! We must look at the issue fundamentally, where do we start? Do we start with Jihaad? Who is performing the Jihaad?

Questioner: “Those who believed and migrated and strove (hard and fought in Allah’s Cause).

The Shaikh: Where are they?
Questioner: The first thing is Imaan, then migration.

The Shaikh: This is it, so we begin with Imaan. We begin with Imaan, may Allah bless you. Do not reflect on the conclusion, (which is) to strive (in Allah’s Cause). Jihaad begins when the souls are prepared for jihad for the sake of Allah. The Messenger [peace be upon him] said, “The Mujaahid is he who strives against his (vain) desires for the sake of Allah”. Are Muslims today striving against their (vain) desires – for the sake of Allah – whilst sinful behaviour is rife, immorality, women unveiling, dealing in usury, etc.? Therefore, we have two terms that must be fulfilled: Tasfiyah [purification of the beliefs, methodology, texts, etc] and Tarbiyah [nurture and educate ourselves upon this pure path]. Today’s Muslims do not understand Islam correctly, starting with knowing who Allah is. They do not know Allah in the manner He made Himself known in His Book (the Qur’an) and the hadith of His Prophet. They do not know their Prophet, that is, his rulings, his Sunnah, and so on. Therefore, we are very far from Jihaad, the (true) Jihad (to be performed) against the (hostile) unbelievers. And before I miss this (comment), do you think that the Yahood will be expelled by the people of Palestine, and we see – regarding the people of Palestine – every day that a group is slaughtered like lambs while the government forces are watching? It is not these (one who will defeat the oppressive Yahood), but when Muslims return to their religion and nurture themselves correctly- nurtured upon Imaan, and ready militarily because Allah says: “And make ready”. Who is this addressed to?

Questioner: The believers.

The Shaikh: It is addressed to the believers to “Make ready against them (i.e. the enemies) all you can of power”. Are we able – today- to make ready (against them weaponry) even if we are believers? (i.e. due to the fact that the Ummah needs to return to complete obedience to Allah and His Messenger first and foremost). [Footnote a]

Questioner: No.

The Shaikh: So, let us try to establish what we are able to do, and that is to be believers; believe in what is stated in the Qur’an and the Sunnah, and act according to what is stated in the Qur’an and the Sunnah based on our ability. I say on many occasions like this that many young people who are now excited have channeled their efforts toward Jihaad against their Muslim rulers. Those who are called Jamaa’ah At-Takfeer, for example, want to fight the Muslim rulers. My beloved brother, fight against yourself before everything else. You forget yourself and fight others?!

Questioner: Hizbut-Tahrir. [Footnote b]

The Shaikh: Hizb ut-Tahrir, Jamaa’ah At-takfeer Wal-Hijrah in Egypt, and so on. What I intend to say is that these people forget themselves and become preoccupied with their rulers, while the opposite (of what they abandon) is the correct thing. What did Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] first start with? He began by calling people to testify that “There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah”. Those who – at present – want to strive against the rulers have not started from where the Messenger [peace and blessings be upon him] started. Due to this, there is no benefit in researching, arguing, partisanship, and gathering if it is not what Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings be upon him] followed. And with regards to us, it has been a period of 15 centuries between us and the Messenger, so we must (adopt) Tasfiyah and Tarbiyah. At present if you ask a question we consider to be one that we have received from our Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] when he asked the slave girl: Where is Allah? Ask the Muslims today (i.e. many of the deviated sects), and they will tell you that Allah is everywhere, etc. [Footnote c]

Questioner: God forbid.

The Shaikh: You and I say, “God forbid”, and praise be to Allah that Allah has guided us, but those with whom you will perform Jihaad and fight alongside with will fight you because you say this statement, if only you knew! Therefore, may Allah bless you, migration is obligatory for everyone who is able, and this is a must for him. This is a Shariah ruling, (but) as for one who is not able, Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear.

Questioner: We make it brief, InShaaAllah. The man will tell you that the meaning of this (statement of yours) is that “We abandon the land of Palestine to the Yahood to wreak havoc and have fun in it as they please”.

The Shaikh: Is it better than we abandon ourselves to the Yahood like sheep (to be slaughtered)? O, my brother! May Allah bless you. One of the Islamic principles is that if a Muslim is faced with two evils, he chooses the lesser of them.

Questioner: May Allah bless you.

The Shaikh: This is the first affair, and secondly, it cannot be imagined that the statement of truth will be embraced by every Muslim, and If that were the case, you would not have found this delay (in education and cultivation, true Jihaad, etc)

و سبحانك اللهم و بحمدك أشهد ألا إله إلا أنت أستغفرك و أتوب إليك

To be continued…InShaaAllah

The next discussion between the Shaikh and the questioner is specifically about advice to the Muslims of Palestine.

Evidence For Allaah’s Uluww (aboveness) – Abu Iyaad


https://www.abovethethrone.com/arsh/

The questioner asked Imaam Al-Albaani about migration and the issue of Palestine – [Part 2]

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

The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said: “Indeed, the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets, for the prophets do not leave behind a dinar or a dirham for inheritance, but rather, they leave behind knowledge. So whoever takes hold of it, has acquired a large share (i.e. of inheritance)”. [Sunan At-Tirmidhee 2682]

The Conversation Begins

Questioner: May Allah bless you. The issue of Palestine is a special issue and has some peculiarities. It is possible to use as evidence the hadith found in the book Al-Taaj Al-Jaami Lil-Usul, which is narrated by Abdullah Bin Amr [may Allah be pleased with him and his father] on the authority of the Prophet [peace and blessings be upon him], who said, “There will be migration after migration and the people who are best will be those who cleave most closely to places which Ibraaheem migrated. The worst of its people will remain in the earth cast out by their lands, abhorred by Allah, gathered along with apes and swine by fire”. This hadith was narrated by Abu Dawud with a valid chain of transmission. I do not know how authentic this hadith is? [a]

The Shaikh: Okay.

Questioner: This is a point. The point now is that whenever we think of or observe the people of Palestine, (it is) the conflict with the Yahood, and you know best, may Allah bless you, about the Yahood, their impurity (i.e. evil deeds), and their hatred against Islam and Muslims.

The Shaikh: O my brother! This is the type of speech that we do not want because this is all well-known. We will see what the problem is.

Questioner: The problem is when you told the man that it is obligatory to exit and go to an Islamic country, never mind leaving a place of migration to an Islamic country!

The Shaikh: Do not say “Khurooj (exit)”.

Questioner: Al-Hijrah (Migration).

The Shaikh: Yes

Questioner: Migration from the land of Palestine, from the land of war?

The Shaikh: Yes.

Questioner: How do we reconcile this statement (of yours) with the hadith of the Messenger [peace and blessings be upon him] “You will fight the Yahood, while you are in the outskirts of Bayt al-Maqdis”, the hadith that you know?

The Shaikh: Oh yes.

Questioner: So, let us know, may Allah bless you.

The Shaikh: Others besides you utter this Shubhah (i.e. ambiguity, or an affair that contains some truth but mixed with untruth or doubt). Is (Baytul Maqdis) better than Al-Masjid Al-Haraam (the Sacred Mosque at Makkah)?

Questioner: No.

The Shaikh: Good, is Baytul Maqdis better than Makkah?

Questioner: No.

The Shaikh: Good, which of the two migrations is more dangerous- the migration of the Messenger from Makkah (to Madinah) or this migration that we are proposing?

Questioner: The migration of the Messenger (was more dangerous).

The Shaikh: Therefore, this (migration we are proposing) is all the more (required), so why do you over-emphasise and begin your speech based on that hadith about the migration of Ibraaheem [peace be upon him]? First, the Ibraaheem’s migration was not to Baytul Maqdis, but rather the entire Shaam, isn’t it?

Questioner: Yes

The Shaikh: Good, so if the Messenger[peace be upon him] established for the Muslims- by way of his Sunnah – to migrate from a land where they are persecuted, due to his migration from the (land of) the Sacred Masjid; and firstly, as I mentioned, that they migrated to Abyssinia, which was a land of disbelief; Subhaanallaah! When it is the case that the Messenger established this Sunnah for his persecuted companions to migrate from Makkah to the land of disbelief – to Abyssinia, to that (ruler) the Negus; then why do you find it strange that you – a Muslim who believes in Allah and His Messenger, and is keen to follow the Messenger [peace be upon him]- to advice his Muslim brothers based on what is within his ability to do so? Enough of throwing the souls to destruction, and shedding the blood of Muslims in vain. (It is said) in the colloquial proverbs in some Arab countries, “An eye cannot resist a prick”.

Islamic countries that have power, weapons, planes, and tanks are watching (i.e. due to inability), and the Palestinians are the ones facing the tanks and the planes and so on. You think that they will expel the Yahood (i.e. from their occupied land), and (expelled) based on the statement (claim) of that impostor who was swallowed up and was announcing that he would throw the Yahood into the sea; you think that our Palestinian brothers, those who are persecuted by the Yahood, the worst of persecution, will be able to throw the Yahood in the sea? [b]

Questioner: Of course not.

The Shaikh: So, may God bless you. These people are more obligated to migrate than others because they are killed by the dozens every day, compared to one Yahoodi they kill every month. [c] This migration that you found strange, the exact opposite is correct. When it is the case that the Messenger first permitted the weak and persecuted people in Makkah to migrate to Abyssinia, the land of the Christians at that time, we say today, “Do not migrate to the land of the Christians, but rather migrate to the land of Islam (Muslim countries)”. This is the first affair. Secondly, when Allah gave him permission to migrate from Makkah to Madina, Allah’s Messenger [may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] stood on which mountain? Qubays?

Questioner: Mountain Abu Qubays.

The Shaikh: Yes, Abu Qubays. Then he turned to Makkah and said, “As for you, you are the most beloved land among Allah’s lands to me, and if it were not that your people expelled me from you, I would not have left.” So, this is Allah’s Messenger, whose heart is attached to Masjid Al-Haraam, which he made a place of (security and safety) for the people.

Questioner: “A place of resort for mankind and a place of safety”. [d]

The Shaikh: Oh yes, “A place of resort for mankind and a place of safety”. So, he was forced to migrate – first by himself – to be saved, and then his brothers who joined him. If he migrated from Allah’s best land, then why does one not migrate from Allah’s third best land, which is Baytul Maqdis? Muslims are persecuted, especially since they are tortured every day. Then you find what is called Arafat’s affiliate; what is the name of the organization?

Questioner: PLO

The Shaikh: The PLO is in the hundreds and thousands, and they may have money, weapons, etc., and they are watching?

Questioner: The PLO is well-known to be (like) the rubbish carried down by a torrent. [e]

The Shaikh: Good, this is what it is.

To be continued…InShaaAllah

The next discussion between the Shaikh and the questioner is specifically about Jihaad.

[a] Sunan Abu Dawud 2482

[b] This only applies to combatants who wage war against the Palestinians with weapons if the Palestinians and the Ummah had the ability to fight the occupiers and their allies. However, one must clearly bear in mind that during a declared war between two nations, non-combatants are not killed or oppressed, including women, children, monks, etc Read: https://abukhadeejah.com/salafi-shaikh-fawzaan-on-jihaad-in-our-times-and-the-guidelines-of-jihaad-according-to-islam/

[c] Imaam Al-Albaani [may Allah have mercy upon him] was asked about this behavior of some people in Palestine, whose recklessness – in the name of so-called Jihaad – brings greater harm to the Muslims, so replied: “If your circumstances carry on in this manner, imagine, what will be the outcome? What will the Muslims be seeing and witnessing?! What will the Palestinians be massacred for? What will be the outcome (when) a Yahoodi is killed and in return tenfold of Palestinians are killed, thousands put in prison? Would this be a victory against the Yahood? This is not the (right) path, (which) actually the Muslims have – at present – wrongly identified as the (correct) way of Jihad”. [Silsilah Al-Hudaa Wan-Noor 317]

[d] Surah Al-Baqarah. Ayah 125

[e] Thawban [may Allah be pleased with him] reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The people will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their dish”. Someone asked, “Will that be because of our small numbers at that time?” He replied, “No, you will be numerous at that time, but you will be scum and rubbish like that carried down by a torrent, and Allah will take the fear of you from the hearts of your enemy and place weakness into your hearts”. Someone asked, “O Allah’s Messenger! What is wahn (weakness)?” He replied, “Love of the world and dislike of death”. [Saheeh Sunan Abee Dawud 4297]

Finally, bear in mind that Muslim rulers are allowed to sign peace treaties if they see the need to do so. Read: https://abukhadeejah.com/treaties-with-the-non-muslims-do-they-necessitate-allegiance/

The questioner asked Imaam Al-Albaani about migration and the issue of Palestine – [Part 1]

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

The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said: “Indeed, the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets, for the prophets do not leave behind a dinar or a dirham for inheritance, but rather, they leave behind knowledge. So whoever takes hold of it, has acquired a large share (i.e. of inheritance)”. [Sunan At-Tirmidhee 2682]

The Conversation Begins

Questioner: Our Shaikh, five minutes ago, I presented an important question and there is something precarious in it.

The Shaikh: Tayyib, InShaa’Allah

Questioner: Good, InShaa’Allah. You spoke at the beginning of the session about the issue of Hijrah [migration], and this issue is really very dangerous.

The Shaikh: Good, InShaa’Allah.

Questioner: I listened to – audio cassette number 527 – a conversation that took place between a student of knowledge and you about the issue of the people of Palestine.

The Shaikh: Yes.

Questioner: He asked about the ruling on migration from Palestine. He asked a question about the issue of the migration of the people of Palestine from Palestine to another place. I listened to the tape for three days until this moment, and I am repeating the tape until I understand what our Shaikh, Ustaadh Naasir, is saying.

The Shaikh: May Allah bless you.

Questioner: May Allah bless you, so that we do no wrong to the Shaikh.

The Shaikh: May Allah reward you with good.

Questioner: With regards to what may have been referred to or referred to by some claimants to knowledge…

The Shaikh: Yes.

Questioner: And Abu Ahmad knows

The Shaikh: Yes.

Questioner: What I want to say is that the place of migration is obligatory for all Muslims to cooperate in establishing and setting it up so that we migrate from the land of disbelief and from the land of war to the land of migration, and we agree with the Shaikh on this issue.

The Shaikh: All right, but now you say that a place of migration does not exist?

Questioner: I say now that a place for migration does not exist.

The Shaikh: Strange (i.e. this statement is strange).

Questioner: You spoke to that man and told him that which grieved him that ten years ago Saudi Arabia did not hang pictures, but now you find pictures there, and so on. It is as if I understood from your conversation that Saudi Arabia is a place of migration and is fit to be a place of migration.

The Shaikh: How do you understand that the land you are in is a place of migration?

Questioner: I do not understand this. I want to get to what the nature of the place of migration is, and we know from the biography of the Messenger [peace and blessings be upon him] that before he migrated to Madina, or before it was revealed to him to migrate to Madina, he looked for a place of migration – at first – by sending some of the Companions to Abyssinia.

The Shaikh: Yes

Questioner: And the Companions returned from Abyssinia, and obviously, he asked them about the circumstances of Abyssinia. The Messenger [peace and blessings be upon him] did not consider the land of Abyssinia to be suitable for migration. Then he sent a delegation to Hadramaut and asked the delegations that were coming to him [peace and blessings be upon him] about Hadhramaut in Yemen, and he found that Yemen also is not suitable for migration.

The Shaikh: Sorry, this (the above statement of yours) is not a question. May Allah bless you. I said five minutes. You will take the five minutes at your expense!

Questioner: …at the beginning of your session.

The Shaikh: All righty, may Allah bless you. I draw your attention to the fact that when we spoke about migration, where did we say that Libyans and others like them should migrate to? A land where one should not migrate to? Is that how you understand?

Question: (Migration) to the land of the Muslims.

The Shaikh: Good, so how do you say that there is no place for migration?

Questioner: I want to get to the (point regarding) what the characteristics of the place of migration is.

The Shaikh: Brother, ask instead of giving a lecture.

Questioner: I am not lecturing.

The Shaikh: No, allow me, my brother, may Allah bless you. When someone asks a question, he is brief and does not go into detail. Abyssinia and what is Abyssinia; this is how a question should be. You first say that there is no place for migration, and who told you that there should be a place for immigration similar to that of the Messenger [peace be upon him]? Is there a Prophet after Allah’s Messenger [i.e. Muhammad]?

Questioner: No.

The Shaikh: Then why do you speak about the existence of a place for immigration when you believe just as I do, as I said earlier, that there is a land of Islam, for this is enough for us to establish the proof against the unbelievers who convert to Islam in their countries of disbelief that they should migrate to an Islamic country. We also establish the proof that Muslims who were persecuted in Islamic countries in the past should migrate to Islamic countries where there is no persecution. So why did you change the subject matter to say that there is no place for migration, and who among the Muslim scholars, a successor, let alone a predecessor, has said that there must be a place for migration (i.e. similar to that of the Messenger)? This is a mistake in the presentation of the question. I want to understand what is the outcome of your reading for three days, as I said in those audio tapes I did not mention that there should be a place for migration and that a Muslim cannot say that there should be a place for migration because this emigration (of the Messenger from Makkah to Madina) will not be repeated. Due to this, it is reported in the hadith “There is no migration after the conquest”, meaning that there is no other city of the Prophet until the Hour (i.e. Day of Judgement) takes place. However, the reality is as the poet said, even on a different occasion, “So, imitate them even if you are not like them. Indeed, imitating in nobility is success”. We want to find an Islamic country that is as close as possible to establishing Islam. We do not direct our hopes towards finding a caliph similar to the era of the caliphs, and not even resembling the fifth Caliph, and that is Umar Bin Abdul Aziz [may Allah be pleased with all of them], but we want a ruler who rules by what Allah has revealed- making his goal to rule by what Allah has revealed. Regardless that he makes a mistake, or deviates a little or a lot (unless one witnesses clear disbelief), [Footnote a] there are many Islamic countries, and praise be to Allah. The affair -and praise be to Allah – has not ceased and it will remain like this. We do not see blatant disbelief, rather, this was found in some of those countries, so we commanded the persecuted Muslim youth to flee and migrate to a country in which there has not ceased to be much good from the country whose leader announced disbelief. I said this earlier, so may Allah bless you. Present to us what the problem is for you regarding the audio tape without the term Darul Hijrah (a place of migration).

Questioner: I retract it.

The Shaikh: May Allah reward you.

Questioner: Because I am not one seeking to be argumentative, (rather), I want to learn.

The Shaikh: That is what I think of you.

Questioner: InshaaAllah, may Allah bless you.

The Shaikh: Please go ahead.

To be continued…InShaaAllah

السائل : شيخنا قبل الخمس دقائق ، أنا جاي على سؤال مهم و فيه شيء من الخطورة ؟
الشيخ : خير إن شاء الله .
السائل : خير إن شاء الله ، لقد تكلمت في بداية الجلسة عن قضية الهجرة و هذا الموضوع حقيقة خطير جدا .
الشيخ : خير إن شاء الله .
السائل : إن شاء الله تعالى ، لقد استمعت للشريط رقم خمسائة وسبعة وعشرين في حديث دار بين طالب علم و بينك عن قضية أهل فلسطين .
الشيخ : نعم .
السائل : و سأل عن حكم الهجرة من فلسطين … و لقد طرح سؤالا عن قضية هجرة أهل فلسطين من فلسطين إلى دار الهجرة و سمعت الشريط لمدة ثلاثة أيام حتى هذه اللحظة و أنا أكرر الشريط حتى أفهم ما يقول شيخنا الأستاذ ناصر .
الشيخ : بارك الله فيك .
السائل : بارك الله فيه ، حتى لا نظلم الشيخ .
الشيخ : جزاك الله خيرا .
السائل : فيما قد ينسب إليه أو فيما قد نسب إليه من بعض أدعياء العلم !
الشيخ : نعم .
السائل : و أبو أحمد يعلم .
الشيخ : نعم .
السائل : الذي أريد أن أقوله أن دار الهجرة يجب على كل المسلمين أن يتعاونوا على إقامتها و على إنشائها حتى نهاجر من دار الكفر و من دار الحرب إلى دار الهجرة و نحن نتفق مع الشيخ في هذه المسألة … .
الشيخ : معليش لكن أنت الآن تقول دار الهجرة غير موجودة ؟
السائل : أقول الآن دار الهجرة غير موجودة .
الشيخ : عجيب .
السائل : و قد تكلمت إلى ذلك الرجل و قلت له مما يؤسف له أن السعودية كانت قبل عشر سنوات لا تعلق صورا و الآن تجد فيها الصور و كذا كأني قد فهمت من حديثك أن السعودية هي دار هجرة و تصلح بأن تكون دار هجرة !
الشيخ : و ما فهمت أن الدّار التي أنت فيها دار هجرة ؟
السائل : لم أفهم هذا ، أنا أريد أن أصل إلى ما هي صفة دار الهجرة و نحن نعلم ن سيرة الرسول عليه الصلاة و السلام أنه قبل أن يهاجر إلى المدينة أو قبل أن يوحى إليه بالهجرة إلى المدينة بحث عن دار الهجرة بداية بعث بعض الصحابة إلى الحبشة .
الشيخ : نعم .
السائل : و رجع الصحابة من الحبشة و طبعا سألهم عن أوضاع الحبشة و لم يستصلح الرسول عليه الصلاة و السلام أرض الحبشة بأن تكون دارا للهجرة ، ثم بعث بعثا إلى حضرموت و سأل الوفود التي كانت تقدم عليه عليه الصلاة و السلام عن حضرموت في اليمن فوجد أن اليمن لا تصلح دار هجرة أيضا
الشيخ : عفوا هذا ليس سؤالا بارك الله فيك أنا قلت خمس دقائق ، أنت راح تأخذ الخمس دقائق على حسابك !
السائل : … في بداية جلستك .
الشيخ : معليش بارك الله فيك أنا ألفت نظرك أنه لما تكلمنا عن الهجرة إلى أين قلنا يهاجروا الليبيين و أمثالهم ؟ إلى دار لا هجرة ؟ هكذا فهمت ؟
السائل : إلى ديار المسلمين .
الشيخ : طيب ، فإذن كيف تقول إنه ليس هناك دار هجرة .
السائل : أنا أريد أن أصل إلى ما هي صفات دار الهجرة ؟
الشيخ : يا أخي اسأل بدل ما تعمل محاضرة اسأل … .
السائل : أنا ما أعمل محاضرة … .
الشيخ : لا ، اسمح لي يا أخي بارك الله فيك ، واحد لما يسأل سؤالا يختصر مو يتعرض للتفاصيل ، الحبشة و ما الحبشة مو هكذا يكون السؤال أنت بالأول تقول ليس هناك دار هجرة ، طيب من قال لك أنه يجب أن يكون هناك دار هجرة مثل دار الرسول عليه السلام ؟ هل هناك نبي بعد رسول الله ؟
السائل : لا .
الشيخ : فإذن لماذا تدير الكلام على وجود دار الهجرة و أنت تؤمن معي كما قلت آنفا أن هناك دار إسلام فهذا يكفي لنقيم الحجة على الكفار الذين يسلمون في بلاد كفرهم أن يهاجروا إلى بلد إسلامي كذلك نقيم الحجة على المضطهدين من المسلمين في البلاد الإسلامية قديما أن يهاجروا إلى بلاد الإسلام التي لا اضطهاد فيها فلماذا أدرت الموضع إلى أنه لا يوجد هناك دار هجرة و من الذي يقول من علماء المسلمين خلفا فضلا عن سلف أنه يجب أن يكون هناك دار هجرة ؟ لا هذا خطأ في طرح السؤال فأنا أريد أن أفهم ما هي حصيلة قرائتك في ثلاثة أيام كما قلت لتلك الأشرطة أنا ما ذكرت أنه يجب أن يكون هناك دار هجرة و لا يمكن لمسلم أن يقول أنه يجب أن يكون هناك دار هجرة لأن هذه الهجرة لن تتكرر و لذلك جاء في الحديث ( لا هجرة بعد الفتح ) أي ما فيه مدينة نبوية أخرى إلى أن تقوم الساعة لكن الحقيقة كما قال الشاعر و لو في غير هذه المناسبة ” فتشبهوا إن لم تكونوا مثلهم *** إن التشبه بالكرم فلاح ” فنحن نريد أن نوجد بلدا إسلاميا أقرب ما يكون إلى تحقيق الإسلام نحن لا نطمع أن نجد خليفة يشبه عهد الخلفاء الراشدين بل يشبه الخليفة الخامس و هو عمر بن عبد العزيز رضي الله عنهم أجمعين لكن نريد حاكما يحكم بما أنزل الله يجعل هدفه الحكم بما أنزل الله أما أنه أخطأ ، أما أنه انحرف قليلا أو كثيرا ( ما لم تروا كفرا بواحا ) فهناك بلاد إسلامية كثيرة و الحمد لله لا نزال و الحمد لله سيبقى الأمر كذلك لا نرى كفرا بواحا و إنما وجد هذا في بعض تلك البلاد فنأمر الشباب المسلم المضطهد أن يفر بدينه و أن يهاجر بدينه من البلد الذي أعلن الكفر رأسه إلى بلد لا يزال و الحمد لله فيه خير كثير و أنا قلت هذا الكلام آنفا فإذن بارك الله فيك أعطنا ما هي المشكلة التي عرضت لك بالنسبة للشريط ؟ بلاش كلمة دار هجرة … .
السائل : أسحبها .
الشيخ : جزاك الله خيرا .
السائل : لأنني أنا لست جدليا ، أنا أريد أن أتعلم .
الشيخ : ذلك هو الظّن بك .
السائل : إن شاء الله ، بارك الله فيك .
الشيخ : تفضل

Avoid playing the age card!

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

Do not be duped by anyone disguising their unwillingness to accept truth as a genuine concern to stop others – in their view – from speaking until they are experienced!

Truth is to be searched and accepted, even from a younger person

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] stated:

Whenever AbuBakr [may Allah be pleased with him] was compelled due to a need (for some evidence) and he did not have textual proof from Allah (the Qur’an) or what the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah] said regarding such and such affair, -and likewise Umar [may Allah be pleased with him] used to do the same,- he asked someone younger than him and finds a hadeeth related to the affair from someone younger than him amongst the Sahaabah, and from the latter companions, such as Al-Mugheerah Ibn Shu’bah [may Allah be pleased with him]. The entire life of a person is spent in seeking knowledge – from the cradle to the grave. He does not feel proud to acquire truth from a young or older person, and he never rejects truth – whether it is stated by a Muslim or unbeliever. His soul seeks after the truth, so if he finds a text from the Book of Allah and the (authentic) Sunnah of the Messenger, then all praises and thanks be to Allah, but if he does not have it and finds it with someone else, he accepts it. Ibn Hazm [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “It may be that a person did memorise an Ayah and a hadeeth, then something occurs, but he forgets the Ayah and the hadeeth and is reminded by someone else. It is not possible for a person to establish or accomplish his religious and worldly affairs except by way of cooperating upon righteousness and piety. He does not become proud when something occurs whilst he has no proof or cannot recall a text he did memorise or has forgotten, or does not have a statement from the Sahaabah and the Taabi’een, [rather] he asks someone else and does become haughty. [Source: Marhaban Yaa Taalibal Ilm’ pages 245-247. Slightly paraphrased]

There is no doubt that we must return to the old wise scholars and this is what all the elder Salafi teachers have been doing for nearly three decades. They are well-acquainted with the statement of Al-Allaamah Ubaid [may Allah have mercy upon him] on this link. https://salafidawahmanchester.com/2017/03/17/returning-elders-guidance-times-adversity-followed-path-since-time-sahaabah-shaikh-ubaid/

All their clarifications are based on the Qur’an and Sunnah as understood by the Sahaabah and backed by the clarifications of the contemporary senior Salafi Scholars. Indeed, none has a problem with this except one who is either short-sighted or cannot come to terms with the fact that his erroneous views on a worldly or religious affair have been made known by those of his age group or those younger than him based on the unambiguous clarifications of the senior scholars of the era, so he desperately seeks to reject sound advice by claiming that those who advise him and others are young and inexperienced about those specific worldly affairs, even though the evidence quoted to him is from senior, old wise Salafi Scholars as well as senior and experienced people in the worldly affairs.

Weekly lessons at al-Markazus Salafi are beneficial, but it does not mean that everyone should avoid addressing other crucial matters.

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

Monday: Umdatul Fiqh – Explanation By Al-Allaamah Ubayd Al-Jaabiri [may Allah have mercy upon him]

Thursday: Usool ath-Thalaatha – By Al-Allaamah Zayd Bin Haadi [may Allah have mercy upon him]

Saturday: Kitab At-Tawheed – By Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzan[may Allah preserve him]

Sunday: Umdatul Ahkhaam

Sunday: Sharhus Sunnah – Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan

Once a month (on a Saturday): Taleeq Bahja al-Quloob -Sharh Jawaami al-Akhbaar

So, Alhamdulilah, one has all of these lessons to attend. However, this does not change the reality that when a problem emerges that requires clarification, we avoid it and claim that all of us should only focus on teaching and learning. Here's an essential issue that has been bothering some people recently, so we addressed it regardless of who is yelling and raving in the East or West because all of it is to divert attention away from something they don't want to rectify. https://salafidawahmanchester.com/2023/10/07/one-of-al-allaamah-rabee-bin-haadis-excellent-qualities-can-be-seen-in-the-manners-of-our-elder-teachers-in-the-west/

The Salafiyyoon in the UK have never been asleep nor in need of being reminded that they busy themselves with Duroos because our elder teachers have had a close connection with the senior Scholars and their books for many years, and this affair continues to this day. We love the Scholars and their students, but we are vigilant about people with ulterior motives, especially when they seek to divert attention from something they are required to rectify.

Some specific topics fulfilled as Fardu Kifaayah by some of the elder UK Salafi students of Knowledge

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

Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him] said, “He does not thank Allāh, he who does not thank the People”.

One of the Islamic mannerisms that is befitting for a Muslim to adhere to is to show gratitude to the one who was good to you; any type of good, whether it was by (sharing) knowledge or commanding good and forbidding evil, or by doing good in fulfilling a person’s needs.

[جزاك الله خيرا – May Allāh reward you with good]

If you said that to him, indeed you have done your utmost in praising and thanking him. As for the one who does good to you and you didn’t thank him, or mention him with good, then this is a blessing to which a person has shown ingratitude. Oh, Muslim! It is not from Islamic manners to reject some good that someone – whether close to you or not – has done to you. This is the meaning of the hadīth, "Whoever does not thank the people has not thanked Allāh". Allāh is the bestower of blessings, The Most Great, The one who confers good (to His servants), the Generous. The people likewise are good-doers within the limits of their ability. So, whoever receives good from the people, it is from Islamic etiquettes to thank them for being good to him – whatever type of goodness it may be. Allah's Messenger said, "Allāh has prescribed Ihsan in everything". And one of the mistakes committed is that someone close to you or not close to you does good to you and you do not thank him for his goodness nor mention him with good in order that supplication can be made for him. https://salafidawahmanchester.com/2017/07/11/whoever-not-thank-people-not-thanked-allah-explained-shaykh-zayd-ibn-hadi-al-madkhali/

[10] Abu Makkah – False contextualisation of an Ayah in Surah Hud

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

False contextualisation of an Ayah in Surah Hud in reference to Shaikh Abu Khadeejah’s critique of Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq

 

Allah [The Exalted] said:

وَلَا تَلْبِسُوا الْحَقَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتَكْتُمُوا الْحَقَّ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

And mix not truth with falsehood, nor conceal the truth while you know (the truth).
[Surah Al-Baqarah. Ayah 42]

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said:

Allah forbade (us) from mixing truth with falsehood and thus leading to the concealment of the truth. Mixing truth with false is by mixing the two until one of them is confused with the other. This is forgery and deceit by way of which what is made apparent is the opposite of what it is in reality. Likewise, when the truth is confounded with falsehood, the culprit manifests falsehood in the image of truth and speaks with a statement that carries two meanings- a correct meaning and a false meaning, so the listener is under the illusion that the speaker intends the correct meaning, whilst he intends the corrupt meaning. (1)

While attempting to twist reality, mix truth with untruth, and conceal the truth, Abu Makkah [may Allah guide him] employed another false analogy -under the cover of knowledge, proof, and sound extrapolation – to portray Shaikh Abu Khadeejah [may Allah preserve him] as an extreme oppressor!

Abu Makkah stated:

Where is Waheed from the manners of the Noble Prophet Nuh alayhis Salaam:

وَلَآ أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزۡدَرِىٓ أَعۡيُنُكُمۡ لَن يُؤۡتِيَہُمُ ٱللَّهُ خَيۡرًا‌ۖ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ‌ۖ

“nor do I say of those upon whom your eyes look down that Allah will never grant them any good. Allah is most knowing of what is within their souls”.

When extracting benefits from the story of Nuh alayhis Salaam Shaykh as-Sadi states that: Vilifying the hearts of the believers is a trait inherited from the enemies of the Messengers.

Ibn Abdil-Barr mentions in his at-Tamheed, “They have an Ijmaa (consensus) that the rulings of this Dunya is based on the apparent and the hidden affairs is left for Allah”.

Waheed Alam should have shame on himself, pity his own heart, and repent to Allah from such a vile statement”. [End of quote]

 

Response:

In the above quote, Abu Makkah vehemently disputed Shaikh Abu Khadeejah’s assertion that Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq [may Allah guide him] is afflicted with a disease in the heart as a result of his false alliances with the Musaafiqah extremists and ahlul bidah. Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “The diseases of the heart are two types: (I) Shubhah (a false affair that is considered or disguised as truth or reality) and Shak (doubt). (II) Shahwah (vain or unbridled desires) and Ghay (i.e. deviation from the straight path)”. (2)

Indeed, we agree with Abu Makkah that only Allah knows the secrets of the heart; however, he attempted to use this sound belief – in this particular discussion – to confound truth with falsehood, and turned a blind eye to the fact that his companion was judged based on his false alliances with Musaafiqah extremists and ahlul bidah – a classic illustration of what many of us have witnessed over the years from some of those who would affirm a mighty affair related to Aqeedah while – from what is witnessed – manifesting ulterior motives due to co-operating with ahlul bidah or defending oppressors, and thus they deliberately apply what they affirm in the wrong context. Is there any other reason Abu Makkah and Muhammad would have supported Musaafiqah extremists and collaborate with ahlul bidah besides the fact that they are either afflicted with the disease of Shubhah or Shahwa?! The only other reason would be insanity, and if that were the case, we would not have responded to Abu Makkah because the pen has been lifted from the insane. However, neither Abu Makkah nor Muhammad is insane.

According to Abu Makkah, Imaam As-Sadi stated that one of the attributes inherited from the opponents of the Messengers is that they vilify the hearts of the believers! We could not determine whether his quote from Imaam As-Sadi was in reference to the aforementioned Ayah, or if he was quoting the Imaam from elsewhere in his Tafseer, or from another book of the Imaam, or if he was citing from someone else’s annotation of the Imaam’s Tafseer, or whether he was quoting from a different print of the Imaam’s Tafseer. That because we could not find this statement of the Imaam in the explanation of this Ayah (i.e. Ayah 31, Surah Hud). Therefore, we transmit here what is found in the copy that is in our possession as follows:

 وَلَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِندِي خَزَائِنُ اللَّهِ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ وَلَا أَقُولُ إِنِّي مَلَكٌ وَلَا أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزْدَرِي أَعْيُنُكُمْ لَن يُؤْتِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا ۖ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ ۖ إِنِّي إِذًا لَّمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

وَلا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِنْدِي خَزَائِنُ اللَّهِ وَلا أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ وَلا أَقُولُ إِنِّي مَلَكٌ أي: غايتي أني رسول الله إليكم، أبشركم، وأنذركم، وأما ما عدا ذلك، فليس بيدي من الأمر شيء، فليست خزائن الله عندي، أدبرها أنا، وأعطي من أشاء، وأحرم من أشاء، ( وَلا أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ ) فأخبركم بسرائركم وبواطنكم ( وَلا أَقُولُ إِنِّي مَلَكٌ ) والمعنى: أني لا أدعي رتبة فوق رتبتي، ولا منزلة سوى المنزلة، التي أنزلني الله بها، ولا أحكم على الناس، بظني.

وَلا أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزْدَرِي أَعْيُنُكُمْ أي: ضعفاء المؤمنين، الذين يحتقرهم الملأ الذين كفروا لَنْ يُؤْتِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ فإن كانوا صادقين في إيمانهم، فلهم الخير الكثير، وإن كانوا غير ذلك، فحسابهم على الله.

إِنِّي إِذًا أي: إن قلت لكم شيئا مما تقدم لَمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ وهذا تأييس منه، عليه الصلاة والسلام لقومه، أن ينبذ فقراء المؤمنين, أو يمقتهم، وتقنيع لقومه، بالطرق المقنعة للمنصف

And I do not say to you that with me are the Treasures of Allah, nor that I know the Ghaib (unseen); “nor do I say I am an angel, and I do not say of those whom your eyes look down upon that Allah will not bestow any good on them. Allah knows what is in their inner selves (as regards belief etc). In that case, I should, indeed be one of the Zalimun (wrong-doers, oppressors, etc.).

[وَلَآ أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزۡدَرِىٓ أَعۡيُنُكُمۡ – nor do I say of those upon whom your eyes look down upon]- Meaning, those believers with a lower status in society about whom the chiefs – who disbelieved – look down upon; [لَن يُؤۡتِيَہُمُ ٱللَّهُ خَيۡرًا‌ۖ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ‌ۖ – that Allah will never grant them any good. Allah is most knowing of what is within their souls]- Meaning, if they are sincere in their faith, they will receive abundant good, but if not, then their reckoning is with Allah. [إِنِّىٓ إِذً۬ا – In that case]- Meaning, if I were to say to you any of the things mentioned (i.e. that with me are Allah’s Treasures, I know the unseen, I am an angel, or that those believers you look down upon will not be bestowed any good), [لَّمِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ – I should, indeed be one of the Zalimun (wrong-doers, oppressors, etc.)]. [end of quote]

Observation a: We could not find the statement transmitted by Abu Makkah from Imaam As-Sadi regarding opponents of the Messengers vilifying the hearts of the believers, but maybe it is found elsewhere, and Allah knows best.

Observation b: This Ayah does not support the point Abu Makkah was desperately attempting to make about Shaikh Abu Khadeejah’s criticism of Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq, whether or not he mentioned any references. Imaam Ibn Al-Qaayim [may Allah have mercy upon him] quoted Az-Zujaaj [may Allah have mercy upon him] as follows: [وَلَآ أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزۡدَرِىٓ أَعۡيُنُكُمۡ لَن يُؤۡتِيَہُمُ ٱللَّهُ خَيۡرًا‌ۖ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ‌ۖ – nor do I say of those upon whom your eyes look down upon that Allah will never grant them any good. Allah is most knowing of what is within their souls]- Meaning, “If you claim that they simply follow me without thinking, then I don’t need to observe what’s going on in their hearts. If I observe someone singling out Allah in worship, I will deal with them based on what I see and delegate knowledge of what is in their souls to Allah”. (3)

Indeed, what is absolutely clear from this Ayah is that the poor believers were scorned and their Imaan was vilified when they performed good deeds and obeyed Prophet Nuh [peace be upon him]. As a result, this circumstance cannot be comparable to that of a person who purposefully opposes the Sunnah by collaborating with ahlul bidah and supporting Musaafiqah extremists, implying that such a person is either afflicted with Shubhah or Shahwah- the two diseases of the heart!

Amazing is Abu Makkah’s situation, for he defends someone who does something terribly wrong, but when that person is rebuked and warned of the consequences, he argues that people are vilifying his heart! Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab [may Allah be pleased with him] and will quote it again as follows: “People were (sometimes) judged by the revealing of a Divine revelation during the lifetime of Allah’s Messenger but now there is no longer any more (new revelation). Now we judge you by the deeds you practice publicly, so we will trust and favour the one who does good deeds in front of us, and we will not call him to account about what he is really doing in secret, because Allah will judge him for that; but we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us an evil deed even if he claims that his intentions were good”. [Saheeh Bukhaari. Number 2641]

Indeed, Abu Makkah [may Allah rectify his affair and distance him from deception] uses the Ayah (Hud 31) out of context in reference to Shaikh Abu Khadeejah’s critique of Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq, whose blameworthy and false affiliations are as visible as the midday sun.

Ref 3: An Excerpt from “Badaa’i At-Tafseer Al-Jaami Limaa Fassarahu Al-Imaam Ibnul Qayyim. 2/54

[9] Abu Makkah quotes the questioner as saying, “How do these things occur?”

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

The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] used to say in morning and evening supplications:

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. [Silsilah As-Saheehah Number 227]

Abu Makkah [may Allah rectify his affair] stated: He (i.e. he means the one who asked Shaikh Abu Khadeejah about the situation of Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq) then goes on to describe how akhuna Muhammad was close to “Mashayikh” but yet deviated, and then asks Waheed – a strange soothsayer-like questioning- how these things occur and if there were things to suggest that he would deviate. [End of quote]

In this section, we will provide brief comments on the words and phrases “deviated,” “a strange soothsayer-like questioning,” and “How these things occur… “

First, there is no question that Muhammad deviated in the matter involving the Musaafiqah extremists and collaborating with Ahlul Bidah. Regarding the alleged strange soothsayer-like questioning that Abu Makkah alludes to, we did respond to this folly in part one of this series as follows: “Abu Makkah attempted to portray himself as an articulate speaker while failing to recognise that he made a judgement without a sound basis. Indeed, his companion was judged based on what is apparent, and no soothsayer-like questioning is asserted in this case, save by those who lack sound understanding. Therefore, pay attention to this beautiful narration: Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab [may Allah be pleased with him] said: “People were (sometimes) judged by the revealing of a Divine revelation during the lifetime of Allah’s Messenger but now there is no longer any more (new revelation). Now we judge you by the deeds you practice publicly, so we will trust and favour the one who does good deeds in front of us, and we will not call him to account about what he is really doing in secret, because Allah will judge him for that; but we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us an evil deed even if he claims that his intentions were good”. (1)

Regarding “how these things occur” (deviation from a few or many upright affairs after accompanying scholars), as Abu Makkah reported from the question that the questioner posed to Shaikh Abu Khadeejah, we are reminded of a statement made by Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] as follows:

When you embark on the path of seeking knowledge- seeking (sound) understanding and acting on it, this is one of the signs that Allah wishes good for you. Therefore, receive glad tidings, have good thoughts about Allah, and be sincere to Allah [The Blessed and Exalted] in your statements, deeds, and knowledge. Neither be deceived – we seek Allaah’s Refuge from self-deception – nor feel safe from Allah’s plan.

فَلَا يَأۡمَنُ مَڪۡرَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلۡقَوۡمُ ٱلۡخَـٰسِرُونَ

None feels secure from the Plan of Allah except the people who are the losers].
[Surah Al-A’raaf. Ayah 99]

A believer always fears that his situation will change. It has been reported from Aa’isha and Anas [may Allaah pleased with them] that the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] often (supplicated):

يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِى عَلَى دِينِكَ – O turner of the hearts (Allaah)! 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 Allah’s fingers and He turns them how He pleases”. [end of hadith]

By Allah! This is (true) understanding that a person does not feel safe about himself because Satan flows through the human being like blood. Therefore, a person should guard his heart, intellect, and deeds with greater ardour than the way he guards his wealth and honour. Whoever has been given the authority to manage his own affairs has a duty to protect his heart above all 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 Aal Imraan’ Aayah 8] (2)

Consider Al-Allaamah Rabee’s remark once more: “Therefore, a person should guard his heart, intellect, and deeds with greater ardour than the way he guards his wealth and honour. Whoever has been given the authority to manage his own affairs has a duty to protect his heart above all else”. [end of quote]

Allah’s Aid is sought! There is no doubt that both Muhammad and Abu Makkah [may Allah guide them] have neither been safeguarded from the Fitna of the Musaafiqah extremists nor the Fitna of collaborating with ahlul bidah. May Allah return them to what is correct and protect us from Fitan Aameen. The Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “A man is upon the religion of his best friend, so let one of you look at whom he takes as a best friend”. [Saheeh Abee Dawud. Number 4833]

We ask Allah

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]

Abu Makkah and Muhammad Abdur Razzq: Watery Manhaj and Flaccid Constitutions


Ref 1: Saheeh Bukhaari; Vol 3; Hadith Number:2641]
Ref 2: An Excerpt from Marhaban Yaa Taalibal Ilm’ pages 75-76

[8] Abu Makkah asks a foolish or stupid rhetorical question to conceal truth and beautify falsehood

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

Allah [The Exalted] said:

خُذِ ٱلْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِٱلْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلْجَٰهِلِينَ

Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish.

[Surah Al-A’raaf. Ayah 199]

[وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلْجَٰهِلِينَ – and turn away from the foolish]- Meaning, when the foolish (or ignorant) person behaves foolishly (or ignorantly) towards you, do not respond to him with foolishness (or ignorance). (1)

Abu Makkah posed a foolish rhetorical question after immersing himself in self-denial and self-delusion while seeking to deceive everyone because of his passionate desire to twist and distort reality. He stated, “Since when did Waheed Alam know the state of the hearts?” لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِالله

He made this statement even though it is absolutely clear that his companion was judged based on his companionship with Ahlul bidah and Musaafiqah extremists, which is a symptom of one of the sicknesses of the hearts – Shubuhaat or Shahawaat. His companion did not choose such blameworthy companionship except due to the disease of doubt or desires!

Therefore, this foolish rhetorical question that was presented to promote falsehood and hide truth will not be addressed with another foolish rhetorical question, rather, we’ll respond with what is beneficial from the Book of our Lord. Allah [The Exalted] said:

وَعِنْدَهُ مَفَاتِحُ الْغَيْبِ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا إِلَّا هُوَ

And with Him are the keys of the Ghaib (all that is hidden), none knows them but He.

[Surah Al-An’aam. Ayah 59]

Imaam Ash-Shanqeetee [may Allaah have mercy upon him] presented a number of robust proofs to demonstrate and establish that even the most knowledgeable amongst the creation- Allah’s Messengers and Angels-do not possess knowledge of the unseen. The Imaam [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said:

Aa’isha [may Allah be pleased with her] was falsely accused and the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] did not know whether she was innocent or not until Allah informed him, saying: [ أُولَٰئِكَ مُبَرَّءُونَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ- Such (good people) are innocent of (each and every) bad statement which they say].

Prophet Ibraaheem [peace be upon him] slaughtered a lamb for the angels, while not knowing that they were angels until they informed him that they were angels. Allah said that the angels said to him: [إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِ لُوطٍ – We have been sent against the people of Lout (Lot). (11:70)]

When the angels came to Prophet Lut [peace be upon him], he did not know that they were angels, and due to that, Allaah said: [عَصِيبٌ سِيءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَقَالَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ – He was grieved on their account and felt himself straitened for them (lest the town people should approach them to commit lewdness with them). He said: This is a distressful day]. And because of this Allah said that lut said: [لَوْ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلَىٰ رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ – Would that I had strength (men) to overpower you, or that I could betake myself to some powerful support (to resist you). (11:80)]. He did not know the news the angels brought until they said to him: [إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنْ يَصِلُوا إِلَيْكَ – Verily, we are the Messengers from your Lord!]

Prophet Ya’qub [peace be upon him] lost his eyesight due to grieving for Prophet Yusuf [peace be upon him], while he was in Egypt. He did not know anything about Yusuf until Allah reveal news about him.

Prophet Sulaymaan [peace be upon him], even though Allah gave him authority over the devils and subjugated the wind in his service, did not know about the people Bil Qees until the Hud hud came with news about them. Allah said that the Hud’hud said:

أَحَطْتُ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِ وَجِئْتُكَ مِنْ سَبَإٍ بِنَبَإٍ يَقِينٍ

I have grasped (the knowledge of a thing) which you have not grasped and I have come to you from Saba’ (Sheba) with true news].

Prophet Nuh [peace be upon him] did not know that his son – who was drowned- was not from those members of his household who were to be saved, as Allah said that Nuh said:

رَبِّ إِنَّ ابْنِي مِنْ أَهْلِي وَإِنَّ وَعْدَكَ الْحَقُّ

O my Lord! Verily, my son is of my family! And certainly, Your Promise is true.(11:45)]

He did not know the reality of the affair until Allaah informed him, saying:

قَالَ يَٰنُوحُ إِنَّهُۥ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ إِنَّهُۥ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَٰلِحٍ فَلَا تَسْـَٔلْنِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلْمٌ إِنِّىٓ أَعِظُكَ أَن تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجَٰهِلِينَ

He said: “O Nuh (Noah)! Surely, he is not of your family; verily, his work is unrighteous, so ask not of Me that of which you have no knowledge! I admonish you, lest you be one of the ignorant].

And indeed Allah (The Most High) also stated in Surah Hud about Nuh that he said to his people:

وَلَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِنْدِي خَزَائِنُ اللَّهِ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ

And I do not say to you that with me are the Treasures of Allah, “Nor that I know the Ghaib (unseen).

And when Allah said to the Angels: [هَٰؤُلَاءِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ أَنْبِئُونِي بِأَسْمَاءِ -Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful]; Allaah said that the angels replied: [قَالُوا سُبْحَانَكَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمْتَنَا -They (angels) said: “Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what you have taught us.

Therefore, it is very clear that the most knowledgeable amongst the creation, the Messengers and the Angels, do not know anything of the unseen except what Allah makes known to them. Allah (The Most High) informs His Messengers what He wishes from the knowledge of the Unseen, as Allah stated:

وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُطْلِعَكُمْ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَجْتَبِي مِنْ رُسُلِهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۖ

Nor will Allah disclose to you the secrets of the Ghaib (unseen), but Allah chooses of His Messengers whom He pleases. (2)

Finally, after asking his deceptive rhetorical question, he said: لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِالله

What a disaster! Indeed, there is no doubt that Abu Makkah was consumed by an intense desire to spread falsehood and conceal the truth at all costs, to the point where he mentioned a mighty statement that should have reminded him that the One Who owns all Power and Might was watching him as he pursued falsehood and desperately sought to conceal the truth.

Abu Musa Al-Ash’aree [may Allah be pleased with him] said, “The Messenger of Allah [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said to me, ‘O Abdullaah Bin Qais! Shall I tell you a statement that is one of the treasures of Paradise? It is [لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ – (i.e. There is neither might nor power (to alternate from one state to another nor move from one thing to another) except by Allaah’s Will]. [Bukhaari 6384 & Muslim 2704]

“One of the treasures of paradise”- Meaning, its reward is great and that is paradise; and Paradise is the greatest thing sought after. This shows the virtue of the statement: لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

And why does it carry this reward? That is because it necessitates surrendering all of one’s affairs to Allah, manifesting one’s inability and poverty in the presence of Allah, and that indeed Allah is The One Perfect in Strength and The One Fully Able to do all things (and has power over all things). It is a great statement, easy to utter and repeat on the tongue. (3)
