[7] Imaam Ash-Shaafi’ee (rahimahullaah)

قال ابن أبي الحكم: سمعت الشافعي يقول

لو علم الناس ما في الكلام لفروا منه كما يفرون من الأسد

Ibn Abil Hakam (rahimahullaah) said: I heard Ash-shaafi’ee (rahimahullaah) saying:

“If the people knew what is in philosophical rhetoric, they would have fled from it, just as they would flee from a lion.”

[5] Imaam Ash-Shaafi’ee said “It is better for a man to be put to trial…”

Yoonus Ibn Abdil A’laa (rahimahullaah) said, ”I heard Ash-Shaafi’ee (rahimahullaah) saying, ”It is better for a man to be put to trial with everything that Allaah has forbidden except Shirk than looking into (or engaging himself in) philosophical rhetoric; for indeed I have come across affairs from the people of philosophical rhetoric, which I never thought I would come across (i.e. the deviations of the people of philosophical rhetoric).

(2) Reality of Masjid Al Furqan’s admin: A Further Example of the Manhaj of Mixing Haqq & Baatil

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

Allaah (The Most High) said:

وَلَا تُجَـٰدِلۡ عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخۡتَانُونَ أَنفُسَہُمۡ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ خَوَّانًا أَثِيمً۬ا

يَسۡتَخۡفُونَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَا يَسۡتَخۡفُونَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَهُوَ مَعَهُمۡ إِذۡ يُبَيِّتُونَ مَا لَا يَرۡضَىٰ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ‌ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ مُحِيطًا

هَـٰٓأَنتُمۡ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ جَـٰدَلۡتُمۡ عَنۡہُمۡ فِى ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا فَمَن يُجَـٰدِلُ ٱللَّهَ عَنۡہُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ أَم مَّن يَكُونُ عَلَيۡہِمۡ وَڪِيلاً۬

And argue not on behalf of those who deceive themselves. Verily, Allah does not like anyone who is a betrayer of his trust, and indulges in crime. They may hide (their crimes) from men, but they cannot hide (them) from Allah, for He is with them (by His Knowledge), when they plot by night in words that He does not approve, and Allah ever encompasses what they do. Lo! You are those who have argued for them in the life of this world, but who will argue for them on the Day of Resurrection against Allah, or who will then be their defender? [4:7-9]

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali (may Allaah preserve him) said: Whoever (deliberately) defends them (i.e. the innovators, people of falsehood etc) and argues on their behalf with falsehood, then he among those more deserving of the (above) statement of Allaah. [End of Quote] [1]

We had previously mentioned the confused state in which Masjid al Furqan of Rusholme (Manchester) finds itself in regards to it’s call and methodology- (http://salaficentre.com/2014/08/1-the-reality-of-masjid-al-furqaans-admin-rusholme-manchester-allies-of-goldie-abu-usamah/)

As the article made clear then, we see the likes of Abu Usaamah ad-Dhahabi invited there; a man whose hatred for the salafiyoon is deep and who defends the innovators (the likes of Al Magharawi, Al Ma’ribi, etc); then at the same time they arrange tele-links with those whom from which they hide their true state of affairs.

Another clear example of this hypocrisy of action, confusion in manhaj and deliberate attempts to confuse and pull the wool over the eyes of the people is found in their public library.

20140814_000652000_iOS

Their library carries the books of Sayid Qutb- Namely Fi dhilaal al Quran (in the shade of the Qur’an). Not one copy but two!

Now many will be acquainted with the destructive ideology propagated by this “thinker” and revolutionary; an ideology of bloodshed and revolution, which the ummah is suffering the consequences of to this very day. But as for those who require further information then the following article can make that clear:

http://www.spubs.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=NDV01&articleID=NDV010007&articlePages=1

http://www.spubs.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=NDV01&articleID=NDV010008&articlePages=1

Furthermore here is a list of brief observations of the Scholars On Sayyid Qutb:

Imaam Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) said:

”He (i.e. Sayyid Qutub) is lost (with regards to) Tafseer.” [3]

Imaam Albaani (rahimahullaah) said:

”He (i.e. Sayyid Qutub) does not possess an understanding of Islaam based on its (sound) fundamental principles and subsidiary issues.” [4]

Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said:

”Shaikh Abdullaah Duwaish and Shaikh Rabee have observations on Sayyid Qutb’s Tafseer, so whoever wants to refer to (those observations) can do so.” [5]

Al-Allaamah Saaleh Al-Luhaydaan (may Allaah preserve him) said:

”The books of Sayyid Qutb are filled with affairs that are in opposition to (sound) Islamic Creed.” [6]

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi (may Allaah preserve him) stated after mentioning a few books of sayyid Qutub:

”They gather the major innovations in them.” [7]

The above mentioned book is a tafseer written by Sayid Qutb and carries the basis and hall marks of that ideology. It is a tafseer which as Shaykh Anjaree (may Allah preserve him) explained is a tafseer based on “thinking and literal interpretation”; not on the hadeeth and the sunnah.

So what is Masjid Al Furqan doing when it has made that book freely available to any member of the congregation! A book which is one of the cornerstones of the ikhwaani thought and methodology, sits comfortably on their shelves whilst at the same time they are supposedly inviting and arranging links with scholars!

So the admin of Masjid al Furqan (Rusholme Manchester) are clearly attempting to mix between truth and falsehood. On one hand these books that carry the destructive ideologies and propagate the dawa of Sayid Qutb are on the shelves of Masjid Al Furqan; whilst on the other the admin arranges links with sound scholars to blur the people’s vision and hide the reality of their manhaj from the common people.

Ponder upon this statement of Shaikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him) said:  ”Yes, separation between the truth and the falsehood; this is correct. We make a distinction between truth and the falsehood and (also between) the people of truth and the people of falsehood. We are going to refute (the people of falsehood), and the Scholars refuted (the people of falsehood). This is not for the purpose of causing division; this is to gather the people upon the truth, because with people remaining upon misguidance and upon the speech of falsehood, then this causes division between the Muslims. As for clarifying the truth for the people, so they can gather upon it, then this is the da’wah towards unity, not the da’wah towards separation. The da’wah towards separation is when it is said, ‘The people of falsehood are not to be refuted.’ This is the da’wah to division if they only gave thought.”[8] [End of quote]

This is the Dawah of Masjid Al-Furqan! They seek to hide their reality; promote Goldie (a man of bidah) and the Books of Sayyid Qutb (the Imaam of the Takfeeris of this Era). Therefore, it is very clear that the events of Masjid Al-Furqan are not to be attended because they defend the man of bidah Goldie and promote the Books of the blood thirsty Khaariji Terrorist Sayyid Qutb.

It will be interesting to see if these books are taken down permanently, the ideology within them refuted and the haqq made clear. Or whether whilst it suits they will be removed up until they can be re-placed there and left to misguide another generation of youth.

And we seek refuge in Allah from such a calamity. And Allah knows best.

To be continued…In-Shaa-Allaah

Suicide Bombing does not produce any benefit for the Muslims! Shaikh Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah)

And this action (i.e. suicide bombing) will provoke malice and bitterness in his heart to such an extent that he (i.e. the Non- Muslim) may seek to wreak havoc upon the Muslims. This is what is found from the practice of the Jews with the people of Palestine ­ so when one of the Palestinian blows himself up and kills six or seven people, then in retaliation they take sixty or more. So this does not produce any benefit for the Muslims, and does not benefit those amongst whose ranks explosives are detonated. [Translation from salafipublications.com]

[2] Lets share these reminders and benefits from Shaikh Ramzaan Al-Haajiriy (may Allaah preserve him)

Shaikh Ramzaan (may Allaah preserve him) stated:

When the Scholars of Sunnah clarified the truth with its proofs, the haal (state of affairs) of the people of desires was exposed.

When they urged towards adherence to the Jamaa-ah and the Sunnah, the haal (state of affairs) of the people of splitting and innovation became apparent.

When they clarified the (true) state of Jihaad, the difference between it and corruption became apparent.

When they clarified the state of affairs (regarding) bidah and its people, and the correct stance against them (i.e. the people of bidah), the Sunni and the Bid’ee became manifest to the people after what they (the people) have been living in for a long period of time, and after (a period in which) they used to equate the callers to bidah with the callers to the Sunnah.

[Asbaab Ihtiwaa Al-Khawaarij Li-Ba’di Abnaa-inaa. page 11]

Warning from those who oppose the Manhaj of the Salaf – Shaykh Al-Uthaymeen

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Speaking about the people of innovation and those who carry unsound concepts or a methodology which is not upright, (then) this is from advice, and not backbiting.

Rather it is (an act of) sincerity to Allaah, His Book and His Messenger (by carrying out what is commanded and forbidding evil etc) and it is (act of sincerity) to the muslims (by giving them good advice).

So if we see an innovator spreading his innovation then it is obligatory that we make clear that he is an innovator so that the people are saved from his evil.

(Likewise) If we see an individual who has an ideology/concept opposing that which the Salaf were upon, then it is obligatory for us to clarify that so that people are not deceived by him.(Likewise) If we see a person who has a specific methodology (whose) outcome is evil then it is obligatory for us to clarify that so that the people are saved from his evil, and this (done) out of sincerity to Allaah, His Messenger and His Book; and it is sincerity to the rulers and their subjects (by giving good advice so that they saved from evil etc).

Regardless of whether speaking about the people of innovation is (done) amongst students (of knowledge) or in other gatherings, this is not backbiting.

And as long as we fear the spread of these innovations, or that concept or that methodology which is in opposition to the methodology of the Salaf; it is obligatory that we clarify so the people are not deceived by that.

[Audio Lectures @ Cardiff] The Evils of Extremism: By Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah and Ustaadh Abdul Ilaah

 The Evils of Extremism

http://www.spreaker.com/user/cardiffdawah/evils-of-extremism-abdul-ilaah

http://www.spreaker.com/user/cardiffdawah/evils-of-extremism-abu-khadijah_1

The two lectures in the above links were delivered by Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah and Ustaadh Abdul Ilaah (may Allaah preserve them). Indeed, there is tremendous benefit in these lectures showing clearly the evil, distorted understanding, evil intentions, destructive views, false interpretations and devilish insinuations of the Khaarijite Renegades [Jihaadi Takfeeris -ISIS, Nusrah Front and those carrying their ideologies in the West and the Middle East]

We ask Allaah to reward Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah and Ustaadh Abdul Ilaah with abundant good in this life and the next; and we ask Allaah (The Most High) to reward all the students of knowledge and lecturers in the various SalafiCentres—those who stand firm in times of fitan, whilst clarifying the authentic Islamic Creed, the Sunnah of the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and understanding of the pious predecessors. And may Allaah (The Most High) reward our brothers @ Cardiff and Ustaadh Abu Abdillaah Hasan Somali for their endurance and striving. Aameen.
