Linguistically bid’ah (innovation) means ‘a newly invented matter’. The Sharee’ah definition of bid’ah is: “A newly invented way [beliefs or action] in the religion, in imitation of the Sharee’ah (prescribed Law), by which nearness to Allaah is sought, [but] not being supported by any authentic proof – neither in its foundations, nor in the manner in which it is performed.” Al-I’tisaam of ash-Shaatibee (1/37).

The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Every innovation is misguidance and going astray” Reported by Abu Daawood (no. 4607), at-Tirmidhee (no. 2676) and it is saheeh. Ibn Hajr authenticated it Takhreej Ahaadeeth Ibn ul-Haajib (1/137).

And he (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) also said: “… and every innovation is misguidance and all misguidance is in the Hellfire.” Reported by an-Nasaa’ee (1/224) from Jaabir bin Abdullaah and it is saheeh as declared by Shaikh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah in Majmoo’ ul-Fataawaa (3/58).

The Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) also warned against the People of Innovation, from befriending, supporting or taking from them saying: “Whoever innovates or accommodates an innovator then upon him is the curse of Allaah, His Angels and the whole of mankind.” Reported by Bukhaaree (12/41) and Muslim (9/140)

And in his footsteps, we find the Noble Companions and the Taabi’een after them warning from the danger of innovations upon the Ummah, its people and their unity, since it is innovations which have divided the Ummah and split it asunder.

Ibn Abbaas (d. 68H) said: “Indeed the most detestable of things to Allaah are the innovations.” Reported by al-Bayhaqee in as-Sunan al-Kubraa (4/316)

Ibn Umar (d. 84H) said: “Every innovation is misguidance, even if the people see it as something good.” Reported by Abu Shaamah (no. 39)

Sufyaan ath-Thawree (d. 161H) said:”Innovation is more beloved to Iblees than sin, since a sin may be repented from but innovation is not repented from.” Reported by al-Laalikaa’ee (no. 238)

Al-Fudayl bin ‘Iyaad (d. 187H) said: “I met the best of people, all of them people of the Sunnah and they used to forbid from accompanying the people of innovation.” Reported by al-Laalikaa’ee (no.267)

Al-Hasan al-Basree (d. 110H) said: “Do not sit with the people of innovation and desires, nor argue with them, nor listen to them.” Reported by ad-Daarimee in his Sunan (1/121)

Ibraaheem bin Maysarah (d.132H) said: “Whoever honours an innovator has aided in the destruction of Islam.” Reported by al-Laalikaa’ee (1/139).

Sufyaan ath-Thawree (d. 161H) said: “Whoever listens to an innovator has left the protection of Allaah and is entrusted with the innovation.” Reported by Abu Nu’aym in al-Hilyah (7/26) and Ibn Battah (no.444).

Imaam Maalik (d. 179H) said: “How evil are the people of innovation, we do no give them salaam.” Reported by al-Baghawee in Sharh us-Sunnah (1/234).

Imaam ash-Shaafi’ee (d. 204H) said: “That a person meets Allaah with every sin except Shirk is better than meeting Him upon any one of the innovated beliefs.” Reported by al-Bayhaqee in al-I’tiqaad (p.158)

Al-Fudayl bin ‘Iyaad (d. 187H) said: “Whoever sits with a person of innovation, then beware of him and whoever sits with a person of innovation has not been given wisdom. I love that there was fort of iron between me and a person of innovation. That I eat with a Jew and a Christian is more beloved to me than that I eat with a person of innovation.” Reported by al-Laalikaa’ee (no.1149)

Al-Layth bin Sa’d (d. 175H) said: “If I saw a person of desires (i.e. innovations) walking upon the water I would not accept from him.” So Imaam as-Shaafi’ee then said: “He (al-Layth) has fallen short. If I saw him walking in the air I would not accept from him.” Reported by as-Suyooti in al-Amr bil ‘Ittibaa wan-Nahee anil Ibtidaa’.

Al-Fudayl bin ‘Iyaad said: “If a man comes to a person to consult him and he directs him to an innovator, then he has made a deception of Islaam. Beware of going to a person of innovation for they divert [people] from the truth.” Sharh Usool ul-I’tiqaad of al-Laalikaa’ee (no.261)

Pictures Depicting the Day of Judgement – Shaikh al-Fawzan

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Fatawa-Rulings, Innovations In Islam (Bidah), Monotheism - Tawheed, Qur'aan, Seeking Knowledge.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Q: “Is it permissible to draw pictures of some of the sights of the Day of Judgement?”

A: “No, no, this is something the youth do as a “means of calling to Allah” as they say, they illustrate the Fire, Paradise and its rivers; this is not permissible, this is from the knowledge of the unseen that no one knows other than Allah the Most High, so this type of futility is not permissible.

And calling to Allah is not done in this way, the call to Allah is via the Qur’an and the Sunnah, encouraging and warning and clarifying. [Sometimes they] dig a grave and say this is to give dawa and to remind [the people]…remind the people with the Qur’an my brother [!] Allah stated “But warn by the Qur’an, him who fears my threat” [Qaf:45]… so the one who is not reminded by the Qur’an will not be reminded by a hole dug up, this is burdening [beyond bounds] that Allah has not revealed evidence for”.

This affair is somewhat widespread amongst some, and in fact, I recall our brothers from the Maldives mentioning the existence of such acts there, and so alhamdulillah the Shaikh has clarified the affair.

Abul Abbaas Ad-Deenooree (rahimahullaah) said:

A Mixture of Illusion, Madness And Ghuluww – Just Three Quotes from some of Yahyah Al-Hajoori’s Supporters

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Refutations.

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

Here are only three quotes from some of Shaikh Yahyah’s supporters to show you the reality of Shaikh Rabee’s observations.

First Quote:

“Yahyah your life is a blessing for the creation”

[source: Al-Khiyaanah Ad-Dawiyyah of Abdul Hameed Al-Hajoori page 111—the one printed with the introduction of An-Naasih Al-Ameen]

Second Quote:

Abdul Hameed Al-Hajoori stated about some of the opponents of Yahyah Al-Hajoori: “You shall see from what I will mention that these deceitful ones are traversing the path of shaytaan, pharaoh, haamaan and abu jahl, and many of the fortune tellers….”

[Khiyaanah Ad-Dawiyyah: page: 80]

Third Quote:

Al-Amoodee (a supporter of Shaikh Yahyah) said about Shaikh Abdur-Rahmaan Al-Adani: “How numerous has Abdur-rahmaan Al-Adani been seen in a dream in the image of a woman; and amongst them (i.e. those who saw him in their dreams) is one who saw him in the image of a beautiful adorned woman, whilst the people stared at her.”

[Zajar: page 80 the first Halaqah]

[Source: For further details, see the criticism written by Abdur Rahmaan Bin Ahmad Al-Barmakiy on Rajab 1429AH titled: At-Tankeel Limaa Fee Khiyaanati Abdul Hameed Wa Shaykha-hu Al-Hajoori Minal Abaateel]

We seek Allaah’s protection from illusions and ghuluww

[2] Take the position of men against Shaikh Yahyah–Shaikh Rabee and Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari Speak about Shaikh Ubaid

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Brotherhood, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Refutations.

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

 

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madkhali (may Allaah preserve him) said:

”By Allaah Ubaid is an Imaam in Salafiyyah” [1433AH—Hajj This Year] [source: http://www.sahab.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=134490]

 

Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari (may Allaah preserve him) said:

*None utters this speech about Shaikh Ubaid that he is an enemy of the Sunnah except a person who is an enemy of the Sunnah.  The one who says this about Shaikh Ubaid is deserving of this description.  May Allaah wage war against the utterer of this speech and may he receive what he deserves.  This is a lie and pure wickedness.  Baarakallaahu Feekum, none repeats or utters this speech except a man who is captivated (in evil) and is an impudent one.
*Who agrees with Yahyah Al-Hajoori in abusing Shaikh Ubaid that he is misguided and deviated?! By Allaah none utters or agrees with this speech except a misguided deviated person.  This is wickedness, lies and manifest slander.

*The speech of Yahyah Al-Hajoori against Shaikh Ubaid and the Mashaa-yikh of Ahlus Sunnah—By Allaah it is the falsest of falsehood; rather it is from the wickedest of wickedness, and none agrees with it except a deviated man.

*He (i.e. Al-Hajoori) has no supporting evidence nor any manifest proofs; rather he only has idiotic and foolish affairs; conjecture, lies, transgression and defamation.  And to Allaah will the disputants be gathered (on the Day of Judgment).

*By all means this one (i.e. Al-Hajoori) is neither a sincere adviser nor trustworthy.  The one who utters this (i.e. these vile attacks against Shaikh Ubaid) is neither a sincere adviser nor a trustworthy one.  What advise and trustworthiness is in this (i.e. these vile attacks)?! We seek Allaah’s protection from being forsaken– (i.e. left to our own devices). [End of Quote: Source: Al-Ijaabatul Bukhaariyyah Alal As-ilati Indunoosiyah]

 

And Allaah knows best

“Oh Yahyaa! Hold onto the book with firm strength (i.e. Hold fast to it)” (Suratul Maryam Vs 13)

Bismillahi Wal Hamdullillah Was salaatu Was Salaamu ‘Alaa Rasoolillahi

‘Ammaa Ba’d:

There is no doubt that success lies in following the book and the sunnah, clinging to the two of them and holding fast to them both. And this was Allah’s command to the prophets and the Messengers.

Regardless what the extremists and fanatical supporters of Shaikh Yahyah may seek to do in portraying him in a good light, the fact remains that his errors are well known to the Mashaa-yikh and the Salafi Maraakiz.  The following link is an excellent summary of what he is upon.  We seek Allaah’s protection from persisting upon error.

To the Salafi students of knowledge–Ignore the restless envious ones

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Brotherhood, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Pearls of Wisdom, Purification of The Soul.

 A Poet said:

Exercise patience with the plots of the envious one, for indeed your patience kills him;

The fire consumes some of itself when it does not find something to consume.

We seek Allaah’s protection from those whose lives are consumed with envy and restlessness–those who constantly seek to find fault with those young students of knowledge who are busy transmitting the works of the scholars at Al-Markaz As-Salafi and else where.

[Part 1] Take the position of men against Shaikh Yahyah–Al’Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Brotherhood, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Refutations.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.  All praise is due to Allaah and may the Salaah and Salaam be upon our noble Prophet Muhammad, his family and companions.  To proceed:

 

Allaah (The Most High) said:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَىٰ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْأَقْرَبِينَ ۚ إِنْ يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًا فَاللَّهُ أَوْلَىٰ بِهِمَا ۖ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الْهَوَىٰ أَنْ تَعْدِلُوا ۚ وَإِنْ تَلْوُوا أَوْ تُعْرِضُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا

‘’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. [4:135]

We ask Allaah (The Most High) to grant us Tawfeeq to be from those mentioned in the above Aayah.

 

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said:

”Speech about the people has to be with knowledge and justice, and not by way of ignorance and oppression.” [Minhaajus Sunnah: 4/337]

 

He (rahimahullaah) also said:

”The just amongst men is the one who informs of an affair the way it is; he neither adds to it and becomes a liar nor does he subtract from it and becomes a concealer.” [20/84]

 

Reader: The oppression and excessiveness of Shaikh Yahyah and his supporters has not ceased as stated by shaikh Rabee recently.  This is clear to everyone and to Allaah do we complain our grief.  Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari (may Allaah preserve him) said: ”Wickedness has occurred from him and no one agrees with him on this; no one agrees with Yahyah al-hajooree’s attacks/defamations except a misguided deviated one. [Quoted by Abdullaah Al-Musaalimiy]

 

Shaikh Abu Abdil Mu-izz Muhammad Ali Firkoos al Jazaa-iree (from the scholars of Algeria) stated:

Al-Hajoori does not possess knowledge–that knowledge by way of which displeasure is measured (i.e. the knowledge that enables a person to maintain justice in times of displeasure and anger). The man is young in age.’’ [4/1432AH Shabaan—Quoted by Abdullaah Al-Musaalimiy]

 

Likewise, as you are all aware that the Imaam of  Jarh Wat Tadeel of our era Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee (may Allaah preserve him) recently stated as follows:  ”We have remained patient for 7 years, whilst letters and complaints have reached us.  And now you have to force him to change his ways.  If Yahyah carries on upon his ways, it will cause an incomparable fitnah.” [See Video at website of our noble brothers at Daarus Sunnah: http://video.dusunnah.com/uncategorized/yahya-al-hajoori-is-more-harmful-to-the-salafis-than-anyone-today-shaykh-rabee-al-madkhalee/]

 

The Shaikh also says: ”His students (i.e. Shaikh Yahyah’s students) are ghulaat (extremists).’’  He also says: ‘’Take the position of men with regards to him.’’  He also says, ‘’There is no one more harmful than Yahyah.  Only Dammaaj is left [considered salafi] and all the centres are under the feet [nothing] except Dammaaj”

[http://video.dusunnah.com/uncategorized/yahya-al-hajoori-is-more-harmful-to-the-salafis-than-anyone-today-shaykh-rabee-al-madkhalee/

 

Reader:

We will no longer tolerate any attacks from either Shaikh Yahyah or his students—the attacks directed at Shaikh Ubaid and the rest of the Mashaayikh.  Likewise we can no longer tolerate their attacks against Maktabah Salafiyyah; rather we seek the Aid and Assistance of Allaah in taking the position of men against him.  Al-Allaamah Rabee bin Haadee (may Allaah preserve him) stated that we warn against those who warn against Shaikh Ubaid and Maktabah Salafiyyah [see link http://www.salafitalk.com/entries/35-At-the-age-of-31-Kris-was-diagnosed-with-incurable-stage-IV-Cancer!?goto=next]

 

Inshaa-Allaah that which is to follow will be extracted from the many replies of the students of knowledge in repelling the oppression and excesses of Shaikh Yahyah.

 

And Allaah knows best
