Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali: He an excellent man in his Aqeedah and (adherence) to Islaam. He is a doctor in shariah (i.e. he has a PHD in shariah). Graduate from the Islamic University; and during his time the leadership of the University was under Shaikh Abdul-Azeezz Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah). I do not know of the Shaikh (i.e. Shaikh Bin Baaz) criticizing him (i.e. Shaikh Rabee) for anything. He (appointed) him a teacher in an important Markaz in the university until he (reached) retirement. http://www.sahab.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=142104
Sufyaan Bin Uyaynah (rahimahullaah) said: ”Every person of bidah is debased.” He stated (concerning the statement of Allaah): [وَكَذَٲلِكَ نَجۡزِى ٱلۡمُفۡتَرِينَ] ”Thus do We recompense those who invent lies”; that: ”It (applies) to every inventor of lies and innovator (in the religion) until the day of judgement.” [Hilyatul Awliyaa 7/28]
This short statement of Imaam Sufyaan Bin Uyaynah (rahimahullaah) was sent to us by our Salafi brother Yasir (KSA). May Allaah reward him and grant all of us firmness upon the Sunnah..Aameem.
We decided to post it as a reminder, so that the sensible person can clearly see Brixton’s reality, because they are allied with Ali Al-Halabi –a persistent-obstinate innovator; rather a liar who has been caught cutting and pasting the statements of the scholars in order to promote his deviations and escape rebuke for his crimes committed against the pure Salafi Manhaj. [See a series of articles on this website titled: Halabi’s Long Journey parts 1-7]
”O Halabi! Indeed I read from the verses of the Glorious Qur’aan and understand them; I read the Ahaadeeth from the Sunnah and understand them; I read the ancient literature and the hadeeth–its composition and diffusion–and understand it. And I read your speech but I don’t know what you’re saying! Therefore: Your speech is evil; because if a person can understand speech of the highest grade and cannot understand your speech, then your speech is evil.”
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Imaam Nawawi (rahimahulaah) said:
And amongst the people is the one who spends for his forbidden desires and enjoyment, which increases him in (nothing) except being distanced from Allaah. This person’s wealth will be means of worry for him, and Allaah’s Protection is sought!
And amongst the people is one who spends whilst seeking the Face of Allaah in that which draws him close to Allaah, and in agreement with the Sharia of Allaah. This person’s wealth will be a source of good for him.
And amongst the people is one who spends his wealth without benefit—neither in something forbidden nor in something legislated (in Islaam). This person’s wealth is a waste upon him, and indeed the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) forbade the wasting of wealth.
Therefore, it is obligated upon a person that when he spends his wealth in that which pleases Allaah, he should have a firm belief in Allaah’s promise, as Allaah (Glorified Be He) stated in His Noble Book: وَمَآ أَنفَقۡتُم مِّن شَىۡءٍ۬ فَهُوَ يُخۡلِفُهُۖ ”And whatsoever you spend of anything (in Allah’s Cause), He will replace it.” [34:39] [end of quote] [1]
Narrated Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu-anhu): Allaah’s Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: If one gives in charity what is equal one date-fruit from the honestly earned money—and Allaah accepts only the honestly earned money—Allaah takes it in His Right (Hand) and then enlarges its reward for that person (who has given it)– as anyone of you brings up his baby horse– so much so that it becomes as big as a mountain.
