The Sunni doesn’t get Angry when Bid’ah (or its people) are Spoken About – Abu Khadeejah

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Brotherhood, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Family & Women, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq'.

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

Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah (may Allaah preserve him) wrote this morning via WhatsApp:

Ibn Battah: One of the Salaf was asked, “Who is the Sunni?” He answered: “The one who does not get angry when bid’ah (or its people) are spoken about.”

By Allaah, this is a defining and distinctive trait of the Salafis past and present. They are the most knowledgeable of the people in the arena of aqeedah and they are the sternest against the opposers (mukhaalifeen).  They are the gentlest between each other; they are the most obedient to Allaah and the most God-fearing; they hold to the Rope of Allaah, which is the Book and the Sunnah and the Jamaa’ah. They hate division and splitting and partisanship. They are like one body in their mutual love, mercy and compassion – when any part of this body is in pain, the rest of the body feels restless and feels the pain.  The Salafi upon the path of istiqaamah does not let down his ‘ulamaa when they are attacked and reviled nor the students of knowledge who call to Allaah. He doesn’t forsake the people of truth, or turn his back on them, or backbite them, or revile them. If he is not able to aid the truth, or aid the people of truth, he should at least remain quiet and not oppose them – rather he should make du’aa for them, for indeed the Salafi is upon clarity, always, till his death.  Cultivate these traits in yourself and your families.

Question:

Our Shaykh, the question is: Here in the west, particularly in America, Canada, and Britain, we have well-known Salafee Masaajid, and centers; classes and lectures are held therein with some of the students of knowledge and visiting scholars whenever possible. When this is the case, is it okay for the women who live near to these Salafee centers to establish Da’wah groups distinct from the centers and Masaajid in their areas, in which the people are gathered upon good?

And what is your advice to the women who are the founders of these organizations?

Answer:

It is incumbent that they ask the men and not suffice with their (own) knowledge; because the knowledge of the women is deficient. They have to ask the men. When she has a problem then she must ask (the men) and when there is a matter which is common and easy which everyone knows, then she can speak regarding it. As for in cases of necessity in which there is a question then she is to ask a Shaykh and take from him; either by way of the telephone or when a Shaykh comes to them then she can ask him. The women may have distinct lessons, but it is  a must that scholars supervise them, even if by way of the telephone. And they are to ask them.

However, the woman is not to suffice with herself; because the men have learned and are able to study and travel to the lands and that is not easy for the women. So it is a MUST that she refer to the men.

Perhaps she may say: “I am a Shaykhah!” Huh? You are a Shaykhah? You have studied?
You are (but) a student; a student of knowledge. Allaahul-Musta’aan. May Allaah bless you and may Allaah reward you with good.
Questioner:

May Allaah give you life; may Allaah reward you, our Shaykh.

Shaykh Adds:
The Prophet (upon him be prayers and peace) said: “Convey from me, even if only one verse.” The woman may convey. If you know a verse; you understand it and you act upon it, then mention it to the people. Similarly for the woman; she may speak with it to the people.
HOWEVER, sitting and giving lessons all day and the people coming to her, she does not have the ability to do this. She has other more important matters; (such as) the children; the home; her husband; and so on. They are affairs which every woman knows their value. The role of the woman is great in the cultivation of the children; and Islaam has given her a great station; and that is remaining within the home; and she is (therein) an Ameerah! She cultivates the children upon good. However, she is not like the European woman, doing whatever she wants; no. All of it is within the limits of the Sharee’ah. And may Allaah bless you and reward you with good.

“Be with those who are truthful…” – Abandoning the Hajoori Fanatic Mourad al Jazaa’iri

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Hadaadis, Methodology - 'Manhaj'.

All praise is due to Allaah, Lord of mankind, Jinn and all that exists. And may Allaah’s salutations of peace and blessings be upon our noble Prophet Muhammad, his family and companions. To proceed: Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic) stated:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ

“O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah, and be with those who are truthful’’ [9:119]

”Be with those who are truthful” in their statements, actions and state of affairs. Those whose statements are truthful, and their actions and state of affairs are not except truth—free from negligence and laxity, safe from evil goals and gathered upon sincerity (to Allaah) and a sincere intention; for indeed truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to paradise. [See Tafseer of Imaam as-Saa’di]

The reason for this clarification is so that there remains no doubt in Mourad’s heart and mind that I am totally free from his blameworthy stances. I made it known to him few months ago to refer to Shaikh Rabee and address his concerns regarding the affair of Al-Hajoori. However, in one of Mourad’s recent emails dated 12/12/1434 (12/10/2013) -which was filled with much weak arguments against those who oppose Al-Hajoori–he stated: ”Our brother Naeem from Stoke – May Allaah rectify him and open his heart to consider my honest advice to him”

Firstly: What advise does Mourad want me to take into consideration…? Verily! I seek the protection of Allaah from abandoning the knowledge based refutations of the scholars and fall into the evil path of the hajaawira.    

Secondly: Imaam Sufyaan Ath-Thawri (rahimahullaah) stated: “If you loved a man for Allaah and then he innovated in Islaam and you didn’t hate him for it, you never truly loved him for Allaah.” (http://maktabah-alfawaaid.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/ath-thawree-if-you-loved-man-for-allaah.html)

Verily! There is no shame or blame on an individual when he returns to correctness after falling into error. Al-Hajoori has innovated and persisted upon falsehood, yet Mourad, you have persisted upon a futile defence of him whilst waging a blameworthy war against those who have accepted the knowledge based refutations. It was/is incumbent upon you to abandon this innovator, and not persist upon this grave error. Therefore a reminder again from Imaam Sufyaan Ath-Thawri (rahimahullaah): “If you loved a man for Allaah and then he innovated in Islaam and you didn’t hate him for it, you never truly loved him for Allaah.” So just as it is not befitting that you maintain ties with this innovator (al-Hajoori), likewise it is not befitting that I should maintain any ties with you whilst you persist upon defending this Haddaadi. His errors are well documented and clear and (if it requires more proof) then you can see here: http://www.alhajuri.com/index.cfm

Perhaps some people may say:”Mourad benefited you in the past.”… then my answer to them is this:

“What Allaah decreed of past events have elapsed…. and Allaah does not cause the good deeds to be lost, but at present Mourad is persistent in his defence of an innovator, and I will not have any associations with a person who knowingly defends an innovator and attacks those who clarify the truth from the scholars and students after the evils of such an innovator have been made manifestly clear.”

So return to the truth! It is not befitting for a Muslim that he clings to error after its clarification! It is not befitting for a Muslim that he defends any innovator….let alone Yahyah Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi?!

I sincerely advise you to stop attacking the Mashaayikh, the students of knowledge and the Maraakiz for the sake of defending Al-Hajoori. Return to correctness and this will be better for you; but if you persist upon this path, then know that neither you nor Al-Hajoori are able to harm the truth, its scholars and adherents in the least.

Advice was sent to you a few months ago to seek clarification from Shaikh Rabee; but Allaah knows best whether you heeded that advice. Your state of affairs at present is very bad because you have persisted in sheltering an innovator worse than Al-Halabi and Al-Maribi, as Shaikh Rabee said: ‘’There is none more harmful than Yahyah.’’

Contemplate and do not allow the great deceiver (shaytaan) to deceive you. Your recent mention of my name in your email should leave no doubt in your mind that my stance towards the hajaawira is very clear, and it is the same as that of the rest of the Maraakiz.

So be informed that I am totally in agreement with Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi, Al-Allaamah Ubaid Bin Abdillaah Al-Jaabiri, Al-Allaamah Muhammad Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali and the rest of the Mashaayikh against the hajaawirah. I am in agreement with the students of knowledge in the various Maraakiz of Salafiyyah, such as Abu Hakeem, Abu Khadeejah, Abu Idrees, Abu Iyaad, Abdul-Ilaah, Uwais Taweel, Abu Mu-aadh Taqweem Aslam and others- against Al-Hajoori. I am totally in agreement with the Committees of all the Salafi Maraakiz that signed this document http://salaficentre.com/2013/05/a-united-word-from-ahlus-sunnah-in-britain-regarding-yahyah-al-hajooree/ against Al-Hajoori.

So let it be known to everyone that I am free from Mourad al-Jazaa’iri until he abandons his futile defence of Al-Hajoori. I will not engage in any communications in debating or arguing over this affair with you whatsoever in any capacity, rather all that is required is that you alter your ways and return to the truth. I therefore will not accept any attempts to waste my time and do not mention me in your emails until you return to the truth and abandon the hajaawira. May Allaah rectify the affairs and unite the hearts upon truth. And Allaah knows best.

Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah sent this Message via WhatsApp [Beautiful Dars at Shaikh Rabee’s House]

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

Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah (ma Allaah preserve him) wrote:

A large body of brothers here at Shaikh Rabee’s house from the UK, USA, Canada etc.  Beautiful Dars by the Shaikh in the topic of Imaan. Sh. Rabee spoke about the means of strengthening Imaan: Reciting the Qur’aan, righteous deeds and Allaah’s remembrance.  Shaikh Rabee stated the aqeedah of Ahlus Sunnah is that Imaan is speech & action, it increases and decreases. Then he refuted the Murji’ah. He went on to establish that the affairs are in the Hands of Allaah and His Decree, so a person relies upon Allaah, fully.

Sh. Rabee said that the believer knows the affairs are decreed by Allaah so he knows no one can harm him or benefit him except by His Decree. Sh. Rabee mentioned the importance of salaah and sadaqah. Prayer upon the Sunnah of the Prophet & Sadaqa upon the generosity of the Prophet.

Sh. Rabee stated that these are the means of strengthening Imaan. And its opposite is abandonment of righteous deeds & commission of sins. Messenger said: If you partake in interest, hold on to the tails of cattle, satisfied with cultivation of the earth & abandon jihad… The Prophet continued: “Then Allaah will send down upon them humiliation & He will not remove it till you return back to your Deen.” Allaah stated: “If you aid Allaah’s deen, Allaah will aid you..” So it is not the greatness of numbers because the Companions were not many. Shaikh Rabee continued: Rather the Sahaabah were small in number yet Allaah gave them victory over their adversaries from the Romans & Persians. Sh. Rabee: That victory was due to their Imaan, their aqeedah, their manhaj, their piety. So Allaah made them victorious.

The Messenger mentioned a time when the disbelievers will take from the Muslim lands just like the guests take from the food of the host. And the Messenger explained that this is not due to the small number of Muslims in that time, rather they will be many in number, but… The Messenger cont’d: The Muslims will be like the scum carried by the flood water (even though they will great in number). Shaikh Rabee stated: This is the state of many of the Muslims today, they are like the scum carried by the flood water.  So upon you is steadfastness upon the Deen, to hold to the truth and sincerity and righteous deeds – to strengthen your Imaan. Sh. Rabee ended with supplicating to Allaah to give us steadfastness upon the Sunnah and to grant us success in that which pleases Allaah. May Allaah reward the Shaykh, preserve him, protect him and make him a cause of benefit for the ummah. Ameen.

Baarakallaahufeekum.

 

 

[2] [Repelling the lies of Ali Halabi and his misguided party]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Ali Hassan Al Halabi, Deviated Callers & Individuals, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Scholars of Islam.

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

These are testimonies of the truthful and righteous Imaams of the Sunnah, which can neither be affected by the slanders of the sinful ones nor by the lies of the evil ones, such as the likes of Ali Al-Halabi—the ignoramus—and his misguided party.  How many fabrications and lies do they have against Ahlus Sunnah in general and against Shaikh Rabee in particular!  And from those (fabrications and lies of theirs ) is that they accuse Shaikh Rabee of ignorance, self-contradictory, having changes in his (Manhaj) and other lies which they have perpetrated upon the path of the people of desires.  When they became unable to confront the clear proofs and manifest evidences, they resorted to these despicable and disgraceful paths.  By Allaah they have lied, for indeed the senior scholars have testified a lot for Shaikh Rabee that he is a possessor of knowledge and that he is well grounded in it; and that he is an upright person; steadfast; an aider of the Salafi Creed and a defender of those who call to the Salafi Creed; and that he is a person who repels falsehood and its people with manifest evidences.

The writer (may Allaah preserve him) said:

Our Shaikh Rabee has been praised by his teachers and brothers; they have described him with great and noble characteristics, and from those descriptions is that he upon the path of the pious predecessors – in creed and action.

 

 

His Shaikh, Al-Allaamah Ubaidullaah Ar-Rahmaani Al-Mubaarakfooree (rahimahullah) said: “He (i.e. Shaikh Rabee) has sat and conversed with me regarding the affairs of knowledge. He also came to Mubaarakfoor several times and met me in my house, and indeed I found him to be in possession of abundant knowledge and great virtue–a person possessing sound understanding and an upright nature upon the path of the pious predecessors (may Allaah be pleased with them) in creed and action; a follower of the Book and the Sunnah; a supporter and defender  of the Book and Sunnah–harsh against the people of innovations and desires, and a rebutter of the blind followers…..up until the Shaikh Al-Mubaarakfooree said: ‘’May Allaah bless him (i.e. Shaikh Rabee) in his knowledge and gratify the Muslims with a long life span for him.

 
Al-Allaamah Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah)

When one of the students of knowledge said to Al-Allaamah Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz: ‘’O Shaikh! Shaikh Rabee speaks ill of such and such, and he speaks ill of the callers;” so Al-Allaamah Bin Baaz replied to him, saying: ‘’Fear Allaah, the man (i.e. Shaikh Rabee) is an Imaam in the Sunnah.”
Al-Allaamah Bin Baaz also said: “Shaikh Rabee is from the best of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaa’ah and it is well known that he is from Ahlus Sunnah. His writings and statements are well known.

 

 

 

Shaikh Rabee’s Shaikh Al-Allaamah Ahmad Bin Yahyah An-Najmi (rahimahullaah) said: ‘’Shaikh Rabee is a mujaahid and may Allaah reward him. I am jealous of him due to his jihaad in spreading the Sunnah and in subduing bidah and its people, and due to his concern for the Sunnah and its dissemination in every way he is able….

 

 

Al-Allaamah Muhammad Bin Abdullaah As-Subayyil (rahimahullah) said: His (i.e. Shaikh Rabee) is the Salafi creed and he is from the best of the people, and none speaks against him except a person of desires and illegal partisanship.

 
Al Allaamah Muhammad Bin Saalih al Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said: Shaikh Rabee is from the scholars of the Sunnah and the people of good. His creed is sound and his Manhaj is upright.

 
Al Allaamah Muqbil Bin Haadi al Waadi’ee (rahimahullaah) said: Shaikh Rabee is a sign from the signs of Allaah with regards to his (i.e. Shaikh Rabee’s) knowledge about the people of illegal partisanship; but not like the Iranian signs–the Dajjaaleen (i.e. the liars/imposters of the iranian shee-ah raafidah with their claims to supreme religious leadership despite being callers to major shirk–worship of the dead, graves, shrines, tombs; cursing the companions and other filthy beliefs)

Reminder:

In 2002 Brixton Admin clung to the Jordanians, whilst they defended the Ikhwaani innovator Al-Maribi.  Once again Brixton Admin are openly defending Ali Al-Halabi after he innovated in the Religion of Allaah (The Most High).  The articles on this link http://salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=21&Topic=468 will show the reader the affair of Brixton’s Admin from the early days.  On the other hand, the article is enough as a warning to all of us, regarding the danger of persisting upon falsehood and turning away from truth after clarification is given to distinguish between the two.

Finally, see this article as a reminder http://salaficentre.com/2013/10/5-o-you-who-believe-answer-allaah-and-his-messenger/ and may Allaah return Brixton to the truth and free their hearts from the traps of the innovators– Ali Halabi, Abul Hasan Al-Maribi and Muhammad Al-Maghraawi.

Chapter: The prohibition of reviling the deceased without right or a legitimate (overriding) benefit  

The deceased—that is the deceased amongst the Muslims (i.e. in general they are not to be reviled).  As for a disbeliever there is no sanctity for him except if reviling him will harm those of his relatives who are alive, then he is not reviled.  And if there is no harm (in reviling him), then he has no sanctity and this is the meaning of the statement of the author [i.e. Imaam Nawawi]’’Without Right;’’  because we have a right to revile those dead disbelievers, who harmed the Muslims, fought against them and strove to corrupt their religion.

‘Or (without) a legitimate (overriding) benefit;’’ (i.e. not to revile the dead unless there is a legitimate overriding benefit in doing so); such as when this deceased person was a person of innovation and he has already disseminated it (i.e. his innovation) and disseminated it amongst the people, so here there is a benefit to revile him, warn against him and his path, so that the people are not mislead by him. [Sharh Riyaadus Saaliheen 6/230 of Imaam Muhammad Bin Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen] http://www.sahab.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=124263// <![CDATA
