Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said:
”Have you not seen that the one who exalts himself with falsehood wishes to give victory to everything he says, even if it is wrong” [Majmoo Al-Fataawaa: 10/292]

Abu Eesa Niamatullah [a slanderous devil] at Al-Maghrib institute attacks Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee (may Allaah protect him from the envious affiliates of the people of Bidah).
Firstly:
Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
”And from the characteristics of the hypocrites is that they conceal the truth and are deceptive towards its people and accuse them with their diseases. They accuse them when they enjoin good, forbid evil and call to Allaah and His Messenger. That is because they (the hypocrites) are people of trials and are mischief makers in the earth. And Allaah has made known to His Messenger and the believers that they (the hypocrites) are mischief makers in the earth. And when the inheritors of the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) call them to the Book of Allaah and to the Sunnah of His Messenger, particularly to that which is unadulterated, they accuse them of innovation and misguidance. And when they see them being ones who abstain from the dunyah, having a fervent desire for the afterlife and traversing the path of obedience to Allaah and His Messenger, they accuse them of falsehood and deception. And when they see them with the truth, they mix it with falsehood and give that out to those of weak intellect–turning it into something repugnant in order to make them flee from it. And if they (the hypocrites) have with them falsehood, they disguise it with the garment of truth and give it out-turning it into something that would be accepted from them. [Source: Tareequl Hijratayn (503)]
Indeed, the slanderous statements of Niamatullah [an affiliate of Al-Maghrib Institute] are based on nothing else but hatred for that which Al-Allaamah Rabee and the Salafiyyoon propagate against their figureheads and organizations of bidah and misguidance. So he unleashes his vile tongue against Shaikh Rabee and the Salafiyyoon—a behaviour similar to that of the hypocrites. Obviously we do not mean that he is a hypocrite in belief; rather this behaviour of his is similar to that of the hypocrites, as Imaam Ibnul Qayyim said: ‘’And when they (i.e. hypocrites) see them (i.e. the people of truth) with the truth, they mix it with falsehood and give that out to those of weak intellect–turning it into something repugnant in order to make them flee from it. And if they (the hypocrites) have with them falsehood, they disguise it with the garment of truth and give it out-turning it into something that would be accepted from them.’’
Secondly:
This slanderous devil has the audacity to describe Al-Allaamah Rabee and the Salafiyyoon as fake salafis who have been exposed by the fitnah; — what is the fitnah intended by this slanderer and why did he use the word Madkhalees?! Indeed, the only people known to use this word in their attacks are the people of hizbiyyah and bidah–those who habour great hatred and enmity towards Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee (may Allaah protect him from the lies and enmity of this slanderous devil) because he exposes their corrupt views, deviated organizations and figureheads of bidah . This is what angers the likes of this slanderer and others similar to him. They hate Shaikh Rabee and refer to those who transmit his refutations as Madkhalees. However, this slanderous devil revealed his true state of affairs after signing the pledge of mutual co-operation with some of the representatives of the sects of Major Shirk and Bidah. Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said: ‘’And Imaan is known about a man, just as all the states of his heart are known by way of his (outward) allegiances, enmities, his rejoicing, anger, hunger, thirst, and other such affairs. For these matters have certain outward binding necessities (lawaazim dhaahirah) and the outward matters necessitate inward matters. And this is a matter known, the people know this concerning the one that they have experienced and tested (jarraboohu wamtahinoohu)… [minhaaj-as-sunnah 8/475] [Translation: Salafipublications.com]
Indeed one of the Salaf said: “The one who is silent about the truth is a silent devil, while the one who speaks falsehood is a speaking devil.” [Quoted in Ad-Durar as-Saniyyah’; 8/75-79]
Abu Eesa is a speaking devil whose hatred is directed at one of the major scholars of this era; rather a scholar with recommendations from the Imaams of Ahlus Sunnah in this era, such as the likes of Imaam Al-Albaanee (rahimahullaah), Imaam Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) and Imam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah). This slanderous devil has no proof to justify his statements, rather he is just another loud mouthed devil who wishes that Al-Allaamah Rabee and the Salafiyyoon should not expose the institutions and figureheads of bidah he is affiliated with. May Allaah guide him or protect us from the manifest falsehood he is upon.

To be continued Inshaa-Allaah
Thaabit Al-Bunaanee (rahimahullaah) used to pray at night and fast during the day. He used to say: ‘’There is nothing I find more pleasing to my heart than Qiyaamul Layl (i.e. Tahajjud)’’ [Sifatus Safwah 3/262]
Maymoon Ibn Mehraan (rahimahullaah) said:
”The nobility of a Muslim is in performing the prayer in the darkness of night and not being desperate for what is in the hands of the people (i.e. their possessions) [Shu’ab Al-Imaan 3/171]
We ask Allaah to grant us the tawfeeq to follow the example of our Salaf. However, if Allaah grants you the Tawfeeq to wake up for the night prayer, do not stand up all night and then oversleep and miss fajr; rather ask Allaah for tawfeeq to wake up in the last third of the night until the beginning of Fajr.
Imaam Dhahabi (rahimahullah) said:
“It is obligatory upon the scholar to speak with (sincere) intention and a good aim. If his speech amazes him, he should keep quiet; and if keeping quiet amazes him, he should speak. He should not slacken in examining his soul, because it loves fame and praise” [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa 4/494]
Imaam Ahmad (rahimahullaah) said:
‘’Indeed, a person of rhetoric will never be successful. And you will not see anyone looking into rhetoric except that there is corruption in his heart’’
[Jaami Bayaan Al-Ilm Wa Fadlihi 2/194]
Mahmood Al-Warraaq (rahimahullaah) said:
”The most perfect amongst the people is the one who is more knowledgeable about his shortcomings and suppresses his desires and covetousness the most.” [Jaami Bayaan Al-Ilm Wa Fadlihi 1/259]
Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [rahimahullaah] said that Abu Hafs [rahimahullaah] said, ”The best of that which a slave seeks a means of closeness to his Mawlaa [his Protector, Patron, Supporter (i.e. Allaah)] is to be constantly in need of Him in all circumstances, holding onto the Sunnah in all his actions and seeking nourishment [i.e. food] through permissible means.” [Tareequl Hijratayn: page 59]
The ruling on studying in the mosques at the hands of one who took knowledge from the books and cassette tapes.
May Allaah bestow good to you and bless you–The questioner of this question asks and she says: A female Muslim seeks knowledge through translated books and cassette tapes and she has the opportunity to contact the scholars with regards what she finds difficult; is it permissible or possible for her to teach the female Muslims in the Masjid due to the absence of others who can teach the affairs of Manners, Aqeedah and Manhaj?
What is known is that a person is to take knowledge from the mouth of the scholars and every (type of) knowledge is taken from a person who is well established in that knowledge. So when one wants to acquire the knowledge of the Tafseer of the Qur’aan, he takes it from a person who is well established in this knowledge, and this is how it is with all the other sciences-this is the means.
The second means: Indeed a person reads the books; but he should not read the books and depend on them, except if he is qualified to understand them in a correct manner; because if he has deficiencies in his understanding, then indeed he will understand something in a manner other than what it is. Thereafter, he speaks with what he understands and what he speaks with is a mistake, so people act upon what he explains to them in a wrong manner and he carries their sins.
And with regards to this woman, I advise her that she does not teach based on the fact that she read the books without anyone explaining these books to her. This is the answer to this question. [End]

A man teaches the people the sciences of the Islamic legislation and the Aqeedah of the Salaf even though he did not acquire knowledge from the mashaayikh and the scholars; is knowledge taken from him?
As long as he does not have foundation from the scholars (i.e. did not acquire knowledge from them in person and has no recommendations for that), rather he sought (knowledge) from papers and books, then knowledge is not taken from him because he does not understand the Madhab of the salaf. And it (i.e. Madhab of the Salaf) is not understood except by studying under the scholars. (It) is acquired (from the scholars)–this knowledge is (acquired from the scholars) and not only through reading. It is acquired (through the scholars), but reading is only an aid and not depended on. The likes of this (person) is called a Muta-aalim* and knowledge is not taken from him.
– Shaykh Saleh al-Fawzaan
*Muta-aalim: [i.e. someone who feigns knowledge and understanding but does/did not seek knowledge directly from the people of knowledge.
