The Audacious Claim that al-Hajoori has “Clarified”[!] Shaikh Rabee’s Statement!

Regrettably the continued act to save face does not cease from the extremists of al-Hajoori, from the most audacious of claims recently presented being that al-Hajoori has somehow “clarified” the statement of Shiakh Rabee’!

Such a claim from the extremists presents certain difficulties; it is beyond comprehension what exactly they desire to believe upon their delusion has been clarified?

What part of the statement that they have ghulluw in them, an extremism that has no equal, has been “clarified?” To this day we see the extremists of al-Hajoori continuing upon their way of the “e-mail shaikhs” by sending embarassing attempts to redeem themselves, and it would be far better from them to accept their reality and repent. To this day we hear of them “refuting” the apparent “double standards” that exist from everyone refuting them? To this day they remain upon their statement that the only salafi masjid in Manchester has engaged in “criminal” acts! Yet they may be unaware that the reign of the e-mail shaikhs is coming to an end too, since certain individuals have already blocked them and they persist in humiliating themselves by sending emails! In the end they will have no one left but a group of the foolish sending each other emails to console themselves.

Similarly which part of the statement that they wage war against the salafis has been clarified? They continue to speak against the salafi centres of the UK, Canada and elsewhere, they continue to speak against all those who have further emphasised the speech of Shaikh Rabee’ upon them….

It is humiliating and embarassing to say the least that they have the deluded audacity to claim that the statement of Shaikh Rabee’ has been “clarified”!…the clarification is simple…they are extremists and foolish.

Abandon them and their ways and focus on seeking knowledge upon the sound methodology as taught by the scholars, not upon the fanatical exaggeration of the students of al-Hajoori.

Al-Hajoori Extremists Continue to “Advise”[!] Everyone Refuting Their Shaikh and Them!

Following the recent clarity that has arisen regarding the extremism of al-Hajoori and his foolish “students”, certain fanatics continue to fly the battered flag of extremism in Manchester and elsewhere. Shaikh Rabee’ – may Allah protect him – spoke with clarity and described with precision the type of extremists they all are, thereafter multiple other respected people of knowledge provided even further clarity on the issue.

But now… The extremists have unbelievably started speaking against ALL those refuting them one by one!!

Local “email shaikhs” continue to send emails [although less frequently!] attempting to defame anyone who has now backed up the statement of Shaikh Rabee’ on al-Hajoori and his extremism!

How long will they continue? Perhaps they do not realise they are actualising the statement of Shaikh Rabee even more by their activities, truly it appears everyone else is below them and they are the only true salafis! It appears everyone refuting them and their shaikh is now on “double standards”[!].

We ask Allah to protect us from their fitnah, if they insist in continuing upon their extremism in humiliation that is their regrettable choice.

The Islamic Groups of This Era–Al’Allaamah Saaleh Al-Fawzaan

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

Question:
Virtuous Shaikh May Allaah grant you success; some of the people ask me about the Islamic groups present in this era, what should I do—should I give them an answer or direct them to the scholars, bearing in mind that I am a teacher in one of the schools?

Answer:
Direct them to what has been transmitted in the Ahaadeeth and it is his (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) statement: ‘’This Ummah will split into seventy three sects and all of them are in the fire except one; so it was said: ‘’which one is it O Messenger of Allaah? He said: ‘’Those who are upon the likes of that which I and my companions are upon today’’. Direct them to this hadeeth, and say: Those who are upon that which the Messenger and his companions were upon—they are Ahlus Sunnah al-Jamaa-ah. Those who oppose them are the ones promised the hell-fire, (regardless) of whatever name they are called. It is not incumbent upon you (to know) their names, (rather) what is important (to know) are (their) opposition to the methodology of Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jamaa-ah which the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and his companions were upon. Yes.

Imaam Muqbil and Imaam as San’aanee – Accepting the Jarh is NOT taqleed

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

السلام عليكم

The fanatical supporters of al-Hajoori are making many claims, regarding the Salafis who have taken the stance, and accept the criticism of Shaykh Rabee with regards to their Shaykh Yahya Hajoori.

When Shaykh Rabee’ said

‘Take the position of men with regards to him. He has harmed the people of Salafiyyah. There is no one more harmful than Yahya.’

Then it was clear that these attacks from his followers would come. They claim that those who carry his criticism, have made taqleed of Shaykh Rabee as they claim that al Hajoori is known for his Salafiyyah (by them) so the Jarh therefore does not apply.

Shaykh Muqbil -rahimahullah- said regarding this last point;

”So if a weak person speaks about an Imaam from amongst the Great Imams then his speech is not accepted,an example of that is the speech of Qardaawee about ash-Shaykh Ibn Baaz”

So the first question; Is Shaykh Rabee -hafidahullah- ‘a Weak person’? Shaykh Rabee’s position has been made clear and the following link will illustrate that they are only attempting to defend their own Shaykh and his mistakes, whilst attacking a mountain of knowledge:

Kibaar past and present on Shaykh Rabee

By contrast they raise al Hajoori, claiming that he is from the ”GREAT Imaams”… According to their delusions, and extreme love he is so much more…

Shaykh Rabee said

”Tell him (Yahyah) that he is only a student and not an Alim. He is not a sincere adviser; he is not an Imam of anything. Tell him that he is just a student; tell him to fear Allaah and to join his brothers hand in hand – his brothers of Ahlul Sunnah. Tell him to leave this extremism and evil behaviour.”

It seems very strange then that we have Al Imaam Muqbil, holding a position contrary to the claims of these defenders of al Haajori. However if we go further back we have the statements of Al Imaam as San’aanee, refuting the people of innovation of his time, who came with similar arguments and deception.

Will these individuals now claim that Imaam Muqbil and Imaam As San’aanee -rahimahumallah- were following and calling to the blameworthy methodology of Taqleed?!

Let us look again to the truth in Shaykh Rabee’s words -hafidahullah-

‘By Allaah, we have not seen this type of extremism from the people of innovation that we see from his students.’

‘They (Yahya and his followers) are waging a war against the Salafis and Salafiyaah,’

In truth this statement is becoming manifest in their statements every day…. People may try to hide but Allaah The Most High exposes them sooner or later.

Benefit from the following links and protect yourself with knowledge from the distortions and deceptions of the extremists from the followers of Yahyah, whom actually have the opportunity to either visit or ring Shaykh Rabee’ if they would like more details, yet they do not, rather they are attacking the Salafis for accepting the advice of the Shaykh.

We ask Allah the turner of the hearts to keep our hearts firm upon his religion and protect us from misguidance

Accepting the jarh of the Scholars is not taqleed – Shaykh Muqbil and Imam As San’aanee

Imaam Muqbil – Q&A Regarding accepting the Jarh, Hizbees and Taqleed

Major Scholars Past and Present on Shaykh Rabee

The Self-Amazement of Al-Hajoori As Opposed to the Humility of the Salaf

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

Al’Amoodee-one of the drivers of Al’Hajoori’s Ghuluww Caravan quoted a poet’s exaggerated praise for his Shaikh in [kashf Al-Ghitaa: 53]- that the one who desires knowledge in its entirety will find it in Dammaaj….. he will find its fountainhead with Yahyah….Yahyah is its fountainhead, for Allaah-The Lord of the Aalaameen-granted him knowledge. Reader: Bear in mind that Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi Al-Mubtadi wrote the introduction to this treatise of Al-Amoodee [For further details see page 7 of the refutation Titled At-Tankeel by Ustaadh Abdur-Rahmaan Bin Ahmad Al-Barmakiy (may Allaah protect him)]

Humility of our Salaf

Imaam Ash-Shaafi’ee (rahimahullaah) said: ”I wished that the people learnt this knowledge and attribute none of it to me.” [Jaami-ul Uloom wal-hikam: page: 131]

It was said to Imaam Ahmad (rahimahullaah): ”May Allaah reward you for the good you have (done) for Islaam. He said:”Rather, Allaah has (done) good for me through Islaam. Who am I, and what am I?” [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 11/225]

Sufyaan Bin Uyaynah (rahimahullaah) said: ”Indeed, I become angry with myself when I see you come to me, and I say to myself: These people have not come to me, except due to the good thoughts they have about me.” [Hilyatul Awliyaa: 7/285]

We seek Allaah’s protection from ghuluww and we ask Him for humility. And may He (The Most High) return Al-Hajoori and his supporters to the path of correctness

A short reminder to those who accuse others of blameworthy Taqleed, whilst arguing on behalf of Hajoori

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

Ibn Abdul-Barr (rahimahullaah) said: ”According to the scholars, Taqleed (i.e. blind adherence) is other than Ittibaa [i.e. adherence to an authentic affair narrated from the Messenger-sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and obviously with the correct understanding of the Salaf]; because ittibaa is to follow a person based on what is apparent to you of the superiority of his statement and soundness of his school of thought. And Taqleed is that you speak with his statement, whilst you neither know the angle of his speech nor its meaning and you reject speech besides it; Or his mistake is made manifest to you, but you follow him and venerate his opposition, whilst the corruptness of his speech is clear to you. This is what is forbidden to speak with in the religion of Allaah (The Most High)”

[End of Quote: Jaami Bayaan Al-Ilm Wa-Fadlihee: 2/787]

This accusation of blameworthy Taqleed was the same one utilized by the followers of Maribi, Halabi, Maghraawi etc to waterdown and conceal the destructive innovations of their beloved ones and figureheads. So how can those people fishing in the murky waters on behalf of Al-Hajoori prove that those who have taken the correct stances against Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi Al-Mubtadi are guilty of blameworthy Taqleed?! Who in his right mind can say that people are blind following Shaikh Rabee, Shaikh Ubaid, Shaikh Wassaabi, Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari and the rest of the Mashaayikh of Yemen in this affair of Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi Al-Mubtadi?! Are his dangerous mistakes, innovations and haddaadiyyah not manifest?! Has he recanted from all his affairs of misguidance?!

Despite his dangerous and clear errors, look at this blameworthy boldness!

Al-Hajoori (may Allaah guide him) stated:

”Whoever says that the Dawah in Dammaaj has changed, then upon him is the curse of Allaah, the angels and all the people.”
