[5] Remind those who praise or retweet without clarity that there are those who claim Salafiyyah but follow a misconstrued or so-called balanced path when dealing with ahlul bidah

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madkhali [may Allah preserve him] said:

After speaking about those who make Takfeer based on falsehood [1] amongst the different factions of the Jahmiyah [2], the Khawaarij [3], the Rawaafid and the Qadariyyah [4], and the reason behind such Takfeer, Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allaah have mercy upon him] stated, “On the opposite side of these people who make Takfeer based on falsehood, there are people who do not know the creed of Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jamaa’ah as it should be, or they know some and are ignorant of some. And perhaps what they know of it, they do not clarify for the people, rather they conceal it. Neither do they forbid Bidah nor censure ahlul bidah and punish them; rather, perhaps they would censure speech related to the Sunnah and the fundamental principles of the religion – completely – and would not differentiate – in that – between what Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaa’ah say [i.e. adherents to the sound Prophetic Sunnah and sound unity] and what ahlul bidah wal furqah say [i.e. the proponents of innovation in religious affairs who split (disunite due to their opposition to the correct path)], or they would affirm all their differing Madhabs [creeds, paths] in a manner similar to how the scholars would affirm the different opinions related to affairs of Ijtihaad about which difference of opinion is justified. [5] This path has overwhelmed many of the Murji’ah, some of the jurists, those pursuing the path of asceticism and the philosophers, just as it has overwhelmed – first and foremost – many amongst the people of desires and rhetoric. Both these paths are perverted, outside the Book [i.e. The Qur’an] and the Sunnah”. [End of Quote]

After quoting the above statement of Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah, Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi said, “I say, may Allah have mercy on Ibn Tamiyyah. Indeed, he clarified the situation of the people of his era and those before them, then what if he saw the situation of many amongst the Al-Jamaa’aat Al-Hizbiyyah Wal-Bid’iyyah [The Groups of Illegal Partisanship and Bidah [6] who ascribe themselves to Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jamaa’ah and take cover behind them – in particular – to promote their falsehoods! What if he saw them whilst they have definitely gathered between the Madhabs [creeds paths] of the two groups- the khawaarij and those who follow their way in pronouncing Takfeer in the subject matter of Al-Haakimiyyah [7] and the way of the Mur’jiah [8] in the manner they approach the affair of people who are upon the big and numerous innovations in religious affairs, and equating innovation in religion to those affairs of the religion in which Ijtihaad is justified, whose people are rewarded alongside a refutation against their mistakes! In the view of these people, the leaders of Misguidance and Bidah are like the Imams of Guidance and Sunnah. [9] [An Excerpt from “Al-Mahajjatul Baydaa Fee Himaayatis Suunatil Gharraa Min Zallaati Ahlil Akhtaa’i Wa Zayghi Ahlil Ahwaa” 117-118]

Finally, Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyah said, “Rather what is obligatory is to clarify that which Allah sent His Messengers with and (revealed) in His Books, propagate that which the Messengers brought from Allah and fulfil the covenant which Allah took from the scholars. Therefore, it is obligatory to know that which the Messengers brought, believe in it, propagate it, call to it, striving with it, weigh up all that which the people embark upon – [statements, actions, religious fundamentals and subsidiary issues pertaining to the apparent actions of the Limbs and affairs related to actions of the heart]- under the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, neither following desires [through] customs, a school of law, a religious order, a leader or a predecessor, nor following conjecture through a weak hadeeth or corrupt analogy, regardless whether it is an analogy that offers some degree of certainty or not, or blindly following someone who it is not obligated to follow his statement and action because Allah -in His Book – has censured those who follow conjecture and that which their souls desire, whilst they abandon following that which came to them from their Lord of Guidance”. [Majmoo Al-Fataawaa 12/467-468]

Amr bin Al-Aas [may Allah be pleased with him] narrated that he heard Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] saying, ‘’If a Mujtahid gives a verdict according to the best of his knowledge and his verdict is correct, he will receive a double reward, and if he gives a verdict according to the best of his knowledge and his verdict is wrong, even then he will get a reward.’’ [Bukhari Number 7352]

Few Issues From This Hadeeth

[a] A Mujtahid (a scholar who strives to reach a judgement) is not deprived of reward. [b] The judgement of a non-Mujtahid is different from that of a Mujtahid. Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said that the one who speaks about the religion without knowledge and out of ignorance [is guilty of] lying and sinning. The one who intentionally speaks to oppose the truth is threatened with entry into the fire of hell, as opposed to the affair of the one who speaks based on permissible Ijtihaad, for indeed he strives, fears Allaah as much as he is able, desires to seek knowledge as much as he was able, speaks for the sake of Allaah, knows the stronger proof and speaks based on that. This person is given two rewards if he is correct; but if he is mistaken, he receives one reward. [c] A Mujtahid can be correct or mistaken. [Arba’oona Hadeethaa Fee Usoolil Fiqh. pages 32-33]

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee said, “We do not say that there are people of ijtihaad amongst ahlul bidah because they are followers of desires, and Allaah and His Messenger have testified to this. The misguided innovator stirs up discord and errs, and then says to you, ‘This is ijtihaad’. When Hikmatiyaar and the misguided parties [in Afghanistan] murdered Shaikh Jameel Ur-Rahmaan, they said: ‘This is ijtihaad.’ They do not fall into an affair of misguidance or a calamity except that they say, “This is ijtihaad.” This is [tantamount] to diluting Islaam, falsehood, misguidance, bidah and confounding truth with falsehood, when the mistakes of the [true and qualified scholars of ijtihaad]- for which they are rewarded- are placed at the same level with innovation, about which the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] declared to be a path that will lead to the hell fire”.

A Beautiful Statement of Al-Allaamah Adam Al-Ethoopee Regarding Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Brotherhood, Contemporary Issues, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Scholars of Islam.

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

Al-Allaamah Adam Al-Ethoopee [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated about Al-Allaamah Rabee bin Haadi al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him]: Only the Munharifoon [those deviated from most or some affairs of the religion] harbour enmity against him; and as Yazeed Bin Haaroon said about Shu’bah’s speech [i.e. his appraisals and criticism] about men: “If his speech had been for anyone other than Allah, it would not have been raised (i.e. honoured and accepted), and Allah would have exposed him although he had a lot of speech about men and criticism of the narrators”. We also say this about Shaikh Rabee, who at present is in the later years of his life, that if this enthusiastic Shaikh were upon falsehood, or (spoke) to support falsehood, or spoke [لحظ نفس – due to being motivated by a desire to merely defend himself or gain personal advantage] or [حظ دنيا – due to a desire to protect his wealth, position, etc], Allah would have exposed him because indeed Allah [تكفل بحفظ دينه – guaranteed to preserve the religion He has ordained (i.e. Islam)], and he would not have been raised (i.e. honoured, trusted etc) among the scholars of our time with these recommendations that can hardly be stated except about one or two scholars among the (experts) in this affair in our time (i.e. the science of criticism and praise). We ask Allah to make him steadfast upon the truth and grant him a good end, for indeed He (i.e. Allah) is Jawwaadun [generous to everything in existence, and gives generously to those in need], Kareem [bountiful, abundant in good, causes and makes easy every good, bestows generously, etc] [1]

Shaikh Abdullah Al-Bukhaari [may Allah preserve him] stated: It is obligatory to attach the Ummah to the Rabbaani Scholars- those who are well known for their goodness, steadfastness, leadership and sound advice to the Ummah, and they are those who teach the smaller affairs of knowledge before the greater affairs. Therefore, their status must be made known among the people because the scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets, as reported in the narration from the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] by Abu Dawud Number 3642 and others. Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated in explanation of this hadith, “This is one of the greatest virtues of the people of knowledge, and because the Prophets are the best of the creation, so their inheritors are the best after them. And when it is the case that everyone who is inherited from passes on inheritance to his inheritor, therefore, the inheritors are those who take the place of those they inherit from. None will take the place of the Messengers in propagating what they have been sent with, except the Scholars. They are the most worthy of their inheritance”. [2]

قال الشيخ العلَّامة الإثيوبي -رحمه الله تعالى – في الشيخ العلَّامة ربيع المدخلي -حفظه الله تعالى
“لا يعاديه إلا المنحرفون”
و كما قال يزيد بن هارون في شعبة في كلامه في الرجال : لو كان كلامه لغير الله لما ارتفع ، و لفضحه الله مع كثرة كلامه في الرجال ، و جرحه للرواة .
و نحن نقول هذا أيضًا في الشيخ ربيع و هو الآن في آخر عمره ، أنه لو كان هذا الشيخ الهمام على باطل ، أو ينصر الباطل ، أو يتكلم لحظ نفس ، أو حظ دنيا لفضحه الله من قبل ؛ فإن الله قد تكفل بحفظ دينه ، و لما ارتفع بين علماء عصرنا بهذه التزكيات التي لا تكاد تقال إلا في عالم أو اثنين من أهل هذا الشأن في وقتنا . نسأل الله له الثبات على الحق ، و أن يختم له حياته بالحسنى إنه جواد كريم .

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

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Brotherhood, Contemporary Issues, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Pearls of Wisdom, Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

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]

Not good enough to show concern for Ahlus Sunnah and calling for cooperation while wallowing in wilful ignorance!

Written by faizkara on . Posted in Brotherhood, Contemporary Issues, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Deviated Callers & Individuals, Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Refutations, Scholars of Islam.

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

Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli stated that he advices the youth of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaa’ah to solve their differences based on what is found in the Book and the Sunnah, utilise what is found in it to solve the great splitting that has occurred due to differing in the affairs of knowledge, the stances towards some of the Mukhaalifeen, which many of the Salafi youth are upon in the Muslim lands, and even in the non-Muslim countries where the Muslims are the smallest group, and has led to shunning and boycotting, rather this has even led to violating the rights of others and transgression between Ahlus Sunnah until the fitnah has become great, very dangerous and has affected the dawah to the Sunnah, and prevented some people from embracing the Dawah after the people accepted it in many regions and countries.

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] responded to the above statement, saying that it was incumbent upon Dr Ibraaheem to be acquainted with the reasons behind the differing between the Salafi youth and those who ascribe themselves to it, then openly embark upon the truth and convict those who split the Salafi youth- those who innovate corrupt principles to defend the people of bidah and misguidance; refute their corrupt principles, fundamentals and misguided methodologies; refute their defence of the people of bidah and misguidance, (refute) their war against Ahlus Sunnah, (attempts) to defame  the methodology of Ahlus Sunnah and their scholars.

It was incumbent upon Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli to specify those who have violated the rights of others and the transgressors – those who brought about great trial and whose affair is of severe danger due to the initiation and prolongation of this fitnah through deceptive methods and false principles, which they have set up to destroy the methodology of Ahlus Sunnah and topple the scholars. Many people have been duped by these deceptive methods, false alarms and fundamentals whose aim is to reject truth and misguide the people because they have brought about great trial and severe danger.

Among the consequences of this (Fitna) is that many from Ahlus Sunnah deviated and fled from the Manhaj of Ahlus Sunnah after accepting it, therefore, as a matter of fact, it becomes known who is the cause of the fitnah for the Salafi Dawah, which brought about trials and splitting. Therefore, clarification is a necessity because sincere advice and clarification are from the most important affairs that the Messengers were sent with. Allah [The Most High] says that His Prophet Nuh [peace be upon him] said: [أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي وَأَنصَحُ لَكُمْ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ – I convey unto you the Messages of my Lord and give sincere advice to you. And I know from Allah what you know not (7:62)]

Allah [The Most High] said that His Prophet Hud [peace be upon him] said:

[أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي وَأَنَا لَكُمْ نَاصِحٌ أَمِينٌ – I convey unto you the Messages of my Lord, and I am a trustworthy adviser (or well-wisher) for you (7:68)]

Allah [The Most High] says:

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا بِلِسَانِ قَوْمِهِ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْ ۖ فَيُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

And We sent not a Messenger except with the language of his people, in order that he might make (the Message) clear for them. Then Allah misleads whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.[14:4]

The scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets with regards to this advice, clarification and other than it. If this obligatory clarification is not received from him [i.e. from Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli], it is incumbent upon me [Rabee] to fulfil it. The figureheads of this trial, its initiators and flag bearers are well known to Ahlus Sunnah, and they are Adnaan Ar’oor, Abul Hasan al Maribi, Ali al Halabi and those who follow them, their principles and methodology. These people pursue their war against Ahlus Sunnah and defence of the senior people of bidah.

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]

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.

We ask Allah to grant to Sidq Aameen

Forgive those Who Behave Badly towards You – Shaykh Fawzaan

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Articles, Basics, Brotherhood, Contemporary Issues, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq'.

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzan:

If you desire for Allah to forgive you, then forgive those who behave badly towards you, for indeed the recompense is according to the action.

Sharh Kitaab al-Kabaa’ir pg 106

 هَلْ جَزَاءُ الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَّا الْإِحْسَانُ

Is there any reward for good other than good? (Surah: Ar-Rahman verse 60)

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

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/
