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

The next discussion between the Shaikh and the questioner is specifically about Palestine

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.

We ask Allah to grant to Sidq Aameen

Forgive those Who Behave Badly towards You – Shaykh Fawzaan

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.

The only path to strength and victory- By Imams (Ibn Al-Jawzi and Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz)

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

Imam Ibn Al-Jawzi [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: Whoever loves that the state of affairs should become rectified, then let them strive in rectifying the deeds. Allah [The Mighty and Majestic] said:

وَأَن لَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُم مَّاءً غَدَقًا

If they had believed in Allah and went on the Right Way, We should surely have bestowed on them water (rain) in abundance]. [(1)]

Imam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: The path to victory is through learning the Shariah and acquiring an understanding of the religion by the rulers, those under the ruler’s authority, the elders and the young; acting upon what this learning and understanding necessitates, and abandon that which Allah has forbidden. Allah [The Exalted] said: [ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوۡمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُواْ مَا بِأَنفُسِہِمۡ‌ۗ – Verily! Allaah will not change the good condition of a people as long as they do not change their state of goodness themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allah)]. [13:11]

Therefore, whoever wishes for victory and assistance from Allah, and to make Allah’s statement [i.e. none has the right to be worshipped except Allah] uppermost, they should change what one is upon with regards to disobedience and sins. Allah says:

وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمۡ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَيَسۡتَخۡلِفَنَّهُمۡ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ڪَمَا ٱسۡتَخۡلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمۡ دِينَہُمُ ٱلَّذِى ٱرۡتَضَىٰ لَهُمۡ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّہُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ خَوۡفِهِمۡ أَمۡنً۬ا‌ۚ يَعۡبُدُونَنِى لَا يُشۡرِكُونَ بِى شَيۡـًٔ۬ا‌ۚ

Allah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practise their religion, that which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islaam). And He will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear (provided) they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me. [24:55]

Allah [Glorified be He and free is He from all imperfections] did not say that He has made a promise to those who attribute themselves to the Quraish, the Arabs or those who build castles and excavate petrol, rather Allah associated this affair with true Imaan and righteous deeds, regardless whether they are Arabs or non-Arabs. [(2)]

Imam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: Indeed, defeat against the Muslims occurred due to one act of disobedience (i.e. at the battle of Uhud). At present we want victory whilst disobedience is rife amongst us, so due to this it is not possible for us to rejoice with victory as long as we are in this state of affairs, unless Allah shows us kindness and rectifies us. [(3)]

Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him]: [One] should not lose hope when trials and evil increase. Indeed, he has to remain in tranquillity and should make others tranquil when trials occur, and he should say: “All Praise is due to Allah, we are upon guidance and a clear Religion. Solace is close by and evil will cease to exist by the permission of Allaah”. This is what is incumbent upon THE PEOPLE OF GOOD AND THE SCHOLARS–that they have tranquillity and make the people tranquil; because this (EVIL) is something that will cease to exist by the permission of Allaah and solace will come after it.

It is not permissible for a person to say: ‘’the people are destroyed.’’ This is not permissible; rather (a person) should make the people tranquil, firm upon goodness, whilst expecting assistance, for indeed the good end is for the people of piety. Therefore, no matter how great the evil and trial is, it will cease to exist. He (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ‘’A group of my followers will remain manifest upon the truth. They will neither be harmed by those who forsake them nor by those who oppose them till Allaah’s command arrives.” [i.e. the day of judgement] [Bukhari and Muslim]

Therefore, Islaam will not cease to continue and all praise be to Allaah. The Religion and the Qur’aan will not cease to exist until that appointed time which the prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) has informed us of – that at the end of time, the Qur’an will be taken away from the hearts of men and from the Masaahif (i.e. the copies of the Qur’an); but this will be at the time of the destruction of the world. (However) good will continue to exist whilst the Qur’an, the Sunnah and the Qiblah are present, even though there is one who is led away from it and becomes misguided; and even though there is one who deviates from it and becomes deviated, as the saying goes: ‘’Fitnah has its victims’’. It takes away the one who goes with it, but the people of Imaan will remain even if they are small in number. Even if there is one who goes along with the Fitnah, and the one who goes astray and the one who comes along with it, (still) the truth and its people will remain and all praise be to Allaah. The truth is present, as Allaah (The Exalted and Most High) said: [إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ – Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur’an) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption) 15:9]

A person should not lose hope nor should he despair. He should not make the people lose hope of a return to goodness. He should not make the people lose hope regarding (the fact) that truth will prevail and falsehood will be repelled because Allaah (Glorified and Exalted Be He) has made that promise and He does not fail to fulfil His promise. Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said: ‘’The Religion is aided when put to the test; therefore do not be amazed for this is the way of Ar-Rahmaan (The Most Merciful). [(4)]

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/

Path of the balanced teacher clarified by Al-Allaamah Ubayd Bin Abdillah Al-Jaabiree

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

Al-Allaamah Ubayd Bin Abdillah Al-Jaabiree [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated, “Whoever only teaches people the Sunnah and does not warn against Bidah and its people, then verily with the passing of time affairs will enter amongst the people which are not from the Sunnah, and (subsequently) those who are not of them, from the Mubtadi’ah and people of misguidance, will be hidden amidst them. Also, whoever’s sole concern is warning (against Bidah and Mubtadi’ah) whilst he does not teach the people how to act upon the Sunnah, then there will emerge an ignorant generation that does not know the Sunnah, and they will not have a criterion (between truth and falsehood). Therefore understand and be aware of this! [(1)]

[5] The So-called Controversial Statements of Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan.

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

Abu Umamah [may Allah be pleased with him] reported that Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him[ said, “Whoever loves for the sake of Allah, hates for the sake of Allah, gives for the sake of Allah, and withholds for the sake of Allah has perfected Imaan”. [(1)]

The cretins at Wikipedia said, “Human Rights Watch has attributed hate speech by Saleh al-Fawzan towards Shia and rafida when he called these groups “brothers of Satan” and specifically about a faction of Shia followers as “unbelievers” who “lie about God, his prophet, and the consensus of Muslim”. Hala Al-Dosari also claims that al-Fawzan considers Islamic minority sects to be heretics”. [End of quote]

First, Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] is one of the noble Salafi Scholars of our time, and so-called “Human Rights Watch” has no authority in the Sight of Allah to judge the statements of this upright Salafi Scholar, except based on the infallible final divine revelation. Indeed, he resides in a country that permits him to pass judgment of the Shariah against anyone who contradicts the Qur’an and the Sunnah as understood by the Sahaabah. Second, the Shariah legislates both love and hatred for Allah’s Sake, as the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “Whoever loves for the sake of Allah, hates for the sake of Allah, gives for the sake of Allah, and withholds for the sake of Allah has perfected Imaan”.

Third, Al-Allaamah Saalih Aala Ash-Shaikh [may Allah preserve him] said the following regarding s-called human rights, “The major powers utter this term if they want to impose something new on nations, society, and the people regardless of their countries and cultures. So, after the Second World War, they wanted to establish a new world order by way of which the major powers would be able to control all countries. At times this control is cultural, sometimes through strong opinions and the exercise of freedoms at other times, and power is exercised through interference in the affairs of the countries in which they want to interfere”. [Footnote a]

Fourth, other than what is found in these two links, there is nothing else to add to Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan’s verdict against Raafidah Shiites.

http://www.shia.bs/index.cfm
https://abukhadeejah.com/the-devils-deception-of-the-raafidah-shiah/

Finally, the cretins stated, “Hala Al-Dosari also claims that al-Fawzan considers Islamic minority sects to be heretics”. [End of quote]

It doesn’t matter who uttered this statement because it needs to be explained. Hafs Bin Humaid [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: I asked Abdullah Ibn Al-Mubaarak [may Allah have mercy upon him], “How many sects have this Ummah divided into?” He said, “The foundation of the sects are four: the shia, the harooriyyah (i.e. khawaarij), the qadariyyah, and the murji’ah”. The Shia splintered into twenty-two sects, the Harooriyyah into twenty-one sects, the Qadariyyah into sixteen sects, and the Murji’ah into thirteen sects”. [(2)]

The previous Mufti of Saudi Arabia Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz [may Allah have mercy upon him] was asked: What is the meaning of the Messenger’s [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] statement about the Ummah in the hadith, “All of them (sects) are in the fire except one” and who is that one? Will the other 72 (deviant) sects abide in the fire for all eternity?

Response: The prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “The Jews split into 71 sects, meaning all of them were misguided and ruined, except one. The Christians split into 72 sects, meaning all of them were misguided and ruined, except one. And this Ummah will split into 73 sects, all of them in the fire, except one. Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah (those who firmly cling to the authentic Prophetic Sunnah and are unified upon it) are this single group – the Prophet’s companions and those who exactly follow them in faith, the adherents to sound faith and pure Islamic monotheism. Concerning the other 72 (deviants) sects that have been threatened with (entry into) the fire, among them is one who is a disbeliever [Footnote b], one who is a sinner, and one about whom it has been proved with clear evidence that he is an innovator in religion (Mubtadi). So, among them, the one who dies in a state of unbelief [Footnote c] will be in the fire for eternity, while the one who dies in a state of devotion to religious innovation that is less than major disbelief [Footnote d] or sins is under Allah’s will, while still threatened with the fire. So, based on this, it is known that not all of them are disbelievers, but rather among them is a disbeliever, while the others are sinners and innovators in religion. [(3)]

Footnotes b and c: NB: Takfeer – declaring that a Muslim left the fold of Islam is a judgement that can only be given by the upright scholars and none else. https://www.manhaj.com/manhaj/articles/obkwf-takfir-and-the-excuse-of-ignorance-shaykh-saalih-al-fawzaan.cfm

Footnote d: All religious innovations are evil, but there are those that will exit a person from the fold of Islam (Bida’atul Mukaffirah) and those that do not exit a person from the fold of Islam (Bida’atul Mufassiqah).

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee [may Allaah preserve him] was asked whether there is a difference between Bidah Al-Mukaffirah and Bidah Al-Mufassiqah; so he replied that there is Bidah Mukaffirah, such as rejecting the Ruyah (i.e. denying that the believers will see Allah in the afterlife); rejecting Allaah’s Uluww [i.e. denying that Allaah is above his creation –Allah ascended over the Throne in a way that benefits his majesty)]; invoking other than Allah; offering slaughtered sacrifice (i.e. animals) to other than Allah etc. These are affairs of Bidah Al-Mukaffirah (the bidah that is tantamount to disbelief). But we do not make Takfeer of the people who commit this type of Bidah until we establish the proof against them. That is because some of them (i.e. the people who fall into these affairs) carry doubts and are far away from the era of Prophethood and its light (i.e. guidance). So they fall into the likes of these Bidah. Rejecting the Ruyah is disbelief; rejecting Allaah’s Uluww is disbelief; the saying that the Qur’an is created is disbelief-major disbelief. But this person, -[who testifies that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allaah, and he prays, observes fasting, wants paradise and believes in that] -received the doubts of the people of falsehood, so he falls into the likes of these affairs (i.e. these innovations that are tantamount to disbelief). So we say to him: You have fallen into disbelief and the evidence is this and this, and we clarify for him. So if Allaah grants him Tawfeeq and he returns to the truth, then all praise is due to Allaah. But if not, we declare him a disbeliever after establishing the proofs against him. As for Bidah Al-Mufassiqah, it is other than this (i.e. it is not at the level of that which is tantamount to disbelief)… [A paraphrased excerpt. http://www.rabee.net/ar/questions.php?cat=26&id=484 ]

[1] Reminder to Our Children About The Arrival of Islam in Our Home Countries

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

Allah [The Most High] said:

يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَـٰكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ۬ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلۡنَـٰكُمۡ شُعُوبً۬ا وَقَبَآٮِٕلَ لِتَعَارَفُوٓاْ‌ۚ إِنَّ أَڪۡرَمَكُمۡ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَتۡقَٮٰكُمۡ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ۬

O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has the most Taqwah. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. [Surah Al-Hujuraat. Verse 13]

[لِتَعَارَفُوا – that you may know one another]: Meaning: So that you may know one another and how close you all are to one another in lineage, but not out of boastfulness. Then Allaah informed us that the most elevated amongst them are those who fear Him the most.

The ascription to a tribe and a nation is affirmed in Islam. The companions of the Prophet used to ascribe themselves to their tribes and their people in the presence of the Messenger, and he never disapproved of it, however, there should be no behavior that is tantamount to that of the pre-Islamic era, as the Messenger said, “Indeed, Allah [The Most High] has removed from you the pride of the pre-Islamic period and its boasting about ancestors. One is only a pious believer or a wretched sinner. You are sons of Adam and Adam (was created from) dust. Let the people abandon boasting about their ancestors, for they are merely fuel in Jahannam; or they will become more insignificant in (the sight of) Allah than the beetle which rolls dung with its nose”. [1]

The Messenger said, “Whoever is held back by his deeds, his (nobility) of lineage will not push him forward”. Imam Nawawi [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “Meaning, the one whose deeds are deficient and he does not catch up with the performers of (good) deeds, then it is obligatory upon him not to crown himself with the nobility of lineage and the virtues of his forefathers, whilst he is lagging behind in (performing righteous) deeds”. [2]

The arrival of Islam In Uganda and Gambia

Uganda: Islam reached the Lake Plateau, in Uganda, in several ways: On the east side, via the Islamic East African coasts, and from the north, South Sudan. Islam became well established in the heart of the African continent through the good example demonstrated by its adherents and intermarriage with the indigenous population. [3]

Gambia: The history of Gambia is an integral part of the history of Senegal. Islam reached it in the fifth century AH and the eleventh century AD, as it was part of the Kingdom of Ghana, and then the Kingdom of Mali. After the colonial competition over West Africa between the Portuguese, the French, and the British, it fell under British colonization. [4]

[2] “Humanity has consumed all resources that our planet can regenerate” – Scaremongering by a Pathetic French Mulhid

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

Allah [The Exalted] said:

وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا كُلٌّ فِى كِتَٰبٍ مُّبِينٍ

And no (moving) living creature is there on earth but its provision is due from Allah. And He knows its dwelling place and its deposit (in the uterus, grave, etc.) All is in a Clear Book (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz – the Book of Decrees with Allah). [Surah Hud. Ayah 6]

Allah [The Exalted] said:

وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانُ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنَ ٱلْقَرْيَتَيْنِ عَظِيمٍ
أَهُمْ يَقْسِمُونَ رَحْمَتَ رَبِّكَ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّعِيشَتَهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَٰتٍ لِّيَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُهُم بَعْضًا سُخْرِيًّا وَرَحْمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ

And they said, “Why was this Qur’an not sent down upon a great man from [one of] the two cities?” Is it they who would portion out the Mercy of your Lord? It is We Who portion out between them their livelihood in this world, and We raised some of them above others in ranks, so that some may employ others in their work. But the Mercy (Paradise) of your Lord (O Muhammad) is better than the (wealth of this world) which they amass. [Surah Az-Zukhruf. Ayaat 31-32]

The French Mulhid said:

The first thing the French Mulhidoon should consider is that they have a Lord who has allotted provision for all living things on the earth until the day of judgement.

Second, the French Mulhid should follow the path established by our Lord in our dealings with the rich and the poor. Imaam As-Sadi [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: “People’s goals and policies on wealth and poverty differ due to their own interests and are not based on adherence to the truth and consideration of the broader public good. Because they did not follow the teachings of the Islamic religion, they all erred (and missed) the path that would lead to beneficial outcomes- their ideas differed, and they behaved accordingly, resulting in widespread evil and great strife between those claiming to support the poor and workers and those clinging to riches and wealth. They have a lengthy discussion on this subject, and all of it amounts to error and misguidance, and Allah has guided the believers to the right path in all of their affairs, including this one.

All praise is due to Allah; the Islamic Shari’ah came to rectify the rich and poor, and when Allah [The Exalted] decreed that individuals among humans and Jinn would have varied social statuses – among them the rich, the poor, the one with a high social standing, and the one with a lower social status – based on a great judgement and underlying reasons that are too precise to describe, He then established a strong relationship amongst them, with some given authority over others, mutual exchange established, and some in need of others. The All-Wise Law Giver – [The One completely Wise in everything He decrees, and completely Wise in His Sayings, and completely Wise in His Actions, and there is no deficiency in anything He decrees, says, or does] – first ordained that they be brothers and not to take personal advantage of each other; but rather He instructed each of them to fulfil what they owed to the other, so achieving social harmony and the necessities of life.

Islam obligated Zakat from the wealth of the rich based on what is stated regarding its details in the divine revelation. It made spending a means of meeting the needs of the poor and achieving religious well-being, which secures both worldly and religious affairs; encourages kind behaviour at all times and on all occasions, obligated to meet the needs of the needy, feeding the hungry, providing clothing for those without enough clothing, and paying for the necessities of the destitute. It also obligates specific expenditure on family and children, as well as on matters relating to their affairs, as well as the discharge of all obligations related to the mutual interactions that occur between people. Furthermore, Islam commanded them not to rely entirely on their strength and power in pursuing earnings, nor to regard what they possess as a source of (permanent) tranquillity and stability; instead, they should focus on obedience to Allah, acknowledge Allah’s favours, Allah’s facilitation of ease, seeking Allah’s assistance, and thanking Allah for the wealth and prosperity He has bestowed upon them over others.

Allah commanded them to stay within the confines of Halaal and Haraam, and not to overindulge in luxury and excess in a way that affects their morals, riches, and overall state of affairs, rather, they should do what Allah says in Surah Al-Furqan, Ayah 67: [والذين إذا أنفقوا لم يسرفوا ولم يقتروا وكان بين ذلك قواما – And those, who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor niggardly, but hold a medium (way) between those (extremes)].

Furthermore, Allah commanded them to pursue wealth and worldly things in an honourable and honest manner, so that they are not tainted with evil gains, such as usury, gambling, swindling, fraud, or deception; rather, they should adhere to the divine revelation’s ordainments in their dealings, just as they do in their personal acts of worship. And Allah commanded them to treat the poor with mercy and benevolence, rather than cruelty, harshness, selfishness, boastfulness, insolence, and pride. As a result of these wise instructions, religious well-being becomes the highest level of honour and perfection, and wealth acquires a praiseworthy description, a perfect attribute, sublimity, and loftiness, because the divine revelation refined and purified it, exhorts one to avoid vices, and urges one to acquire virtues (i.e. virtues mentioned in the divine revelation).

Islam commanded the poor and everyone else who fails to achieve their personal wish to be patient, accept Allah’s decree, acknowledge that Allah is All-Wise, possesses perfect judgement, and (All-Wise in) His disposal of all affairs and that there are various benefits in this (for a person). Allah stated:

وعسى أن تكرهوا شيئا وهو خير لكم وعسى أن تحبوا شيئا وهو شر لكم والله يعلم وأنتم لا تعلمون

And it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know. [Surah Al-Baqarah. Ayah 216]

This belief of theirs removes the sadness that would have entered the hearts, leading to helplessness and sloth! Then Allah commanded them that they should not seek to alleviate their poverty and meet their needs by relying on others or asking them unless it is unavoidable and required, and that they use a variety of activities and means that Allah has provided as a means of eradicating poverty- each person preoccupied with the means that are best for oneself and their circumstances. This helps to release a person from total dependency, develops strength, promotes activity, and combats lethargy and apathy, but also not envy the wealthy because of what Allah has bestowed on them. Allah said:

ولا تتمنوا ما فضل الله به بعضكم على بعض للرجال نصيب مما اكتسبوا وللنساء نصيب مما اكتسبن واسألوا الله من فضله إن الله كان بكل شيء عليما

And covet not for the things in which Allah has made some of you to excel others. For men there is reward for what they have earned, (and likewise) for women there is reward for what they have earned, and ask Allah for His Bounty. Surely, Allah is Ever All-Knower of everything. [Surah An-Nisaa. Ayah 32]

Allah commanded them to be truthful in their work, dealings, and crafts, and not to rush in pursuing their livelihood by indulging in vile gains, which deprives a person of an upright adherence to the religion as well as corrupting worldly affairs. Allah commanded them to do two things that would help them while enduring the hardship of poverty: economise and be satisfied with what Allah has bestowed on them, (because) little sustenance combined with wise economisation (suffices) a lot. Contentment is an unlimited resource and richness without wealth! Many poor individuals are blessed with contentment and the ability to economise, neither pining for what the wealthy possess nor feeling bitter about their meagre sustenance. When poor people are guided by the guidance of the religion of Islam to exercise patience and attach themselves to Allah, freed from abject dependence, work hard and strive for honourable and beneficial deeds, and be satisfied with Allah’s grace, the burden and difficulty of poverty will be eased for them. Furthermore, they continue to work towards self-sufficiency (and to acquire more provision) while hoping for the bounty of their Lord, awaiting His promise and fearing Him.

Allah said:
ومن يتق الله يجعل له مخرجا ويرزقه من حيث لا يحتسب

And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty).

Allah said:
ومن يتوكل على الله فهو حسبه

And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. [Surah At-Talaaq. Ayaat 2-3] (1)

Third, we remind the French Mulhid what Shaikh Abu Khadeejah [may Allah preserve him] stated as follows: “According to biased and indoctrinated scientists, who are educated in Western universities and institutions funded by their governments and huge multi-national companies, another cause of poverty is population growth in countries that cannot afford to feed the extra mouths. This however is a false notion, since the world has enough farmland, resources, water, cattle, fish, and wild game to support entire nations and continents. The European colonialist powers spent many centuries (400 to 500 years) conquering Asia, Africa, the Far East, the Americas, and elsewhere, and they stripped the natural resources of those conquered lands – then they took the natural resources, wealth, and humans (as slaves), and built their industrial revolution on that plundered wealth on the back of wealth and human resource they pillaged unjustly from others. Today, when those nations wish to build their economies, strengthen their independence, increase their populations, and build their defenses in order to make their nations strong, they are prevented through international treaties related to health and social engineering, goods embargos, tariffs, climate-control measures, etc. Then they are told that they are poor because their nations have too many mouths to feed! The reality, however, is that the African continent and other regions across Allah’s world have enough land, fertile pastures, animals, mineral wealth, oil, gas, iron ore, copper, gold and silver, etc., to be able to feed employ and their nations”. https://abukhadeejah.com/the-causes-of-poverty-in-light-of-climate-change-population-growth-and-other-factors-part-ii-ethics-2-4/

Finally, we remind the French Mulhid that we should not make this worldly existence our primary preoccupation. Allah said:

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدۡخِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ جَنَّـٰتٍ۬ تَجۡرِى مِن تَحۡتِہَا ٱلۡأَنۡہَـٰرُ‌ۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يَتَمَتَّعُونَ وَيَأۡكُلُونَ كَمَا تَأۡكُلُ ٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمُ وَٱلنَّارُ مَثۡوً۬ى لَّهُمۡ

Certainly! Allah will admit those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, to Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), while those who disbelieve enjoy themselves and eat as cattle eat, and the Fire will be their abode. [Surah Muhammad. Ayah 12]

Meaning, they eat and are heedless of the consequences of their final affair (2); enjoy their worldly life and eat therein like animals, munching and gnawing (with overindulgence), whilst having no concern other than that (3); animals eat and drink, and they are not aware of tomorrow; likewise the disbeliever does not give thought to the Hereafter (4); their utmost concern is to enjoy themselves with the pleasures of this worldly life and its desires, so you find that both their apparent and hidden pursuits revolve around this.

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; Aand 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 Eemaan, and make us (from those who are) guided and guiding (others). (6)
