Criticism Against a Book of Taleeghi Jamaat titled ‘Hayaatus Sahaabah’

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

Imaam Albaani [rahimahullaah] stated that the one who authored this Book [i.e. Hayaatus Sahaabah] is not merely an individual amongst Jamaat At-Tableegh, but he is a figurehead- if not a figurehead of the figureheads. He authored this book and the Jamaa’ah At-Tableegh apply what it guides to. However, this book is compiled in a haphazard manner- the author did not distinguish what is in this book with a mention- first and foremost- of what is narrated from the Messenger [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] with authentic chains of transmission. That is because the speech of the Messenger is not like the speech of others, even if they [i.e. others] are from the righteous friends of Allaah.

Secondly: The author mentioned many narrations attributed to the Sahaabah [radiyallaahu-anhum]- but when it is the case that he did attribute unauthentic narrations to the Prophet [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam], which the people of knowledge do not consider to be authentic based on the science of Hadeeth,  its chains of transmissions and the biographies of the narrators, then it is most likely that he would mention numerous unauthentic narrations attributed to the actions, methodology and manners of the Sahaabah.  Paraphrased…see full discussion here: Paraphrased…see full discussion here: Imaam_Albaanee

Is There Reward In Following Lessons Online? Sh.Zaid al-Madkhaly

The following question was posed to Shaikh Zaid al-Madkhaly رحمه الله:

Q: Do those who follow the lessons of the Salafi scholars online or via radio gain the blessing of the gathering?

A: These whom you have mentioned have many great gains:-

Firstly: They are considered students of knowledge, [i.e. in the sense that they are using their time listening to salafi lessons online, learning and benefitting] and the student of knowledge is the best of the people in degree, and the best of the people of his time if he intends the removal of ignorance from himself through seeking knowledge and to act upon his knowledge and spread it.

Secondly: The student of knowledge whether he sits in isolation alone or in a group, serenity descends upon him, and mercy envelops him, and the Angels of Allah surround him. So these individuals who follow the circles of knowledge from the Book and the Sunnah and other means of knowledge, they have a great reward and their reward does not decrease from the level of reward of those physically present in the circles with the scholars of knowledge in’sha’Allah.

التعليقات الجياد على كتاب تطهير الاعتقاد ص184 – 185

[Translator’s note: This has within it a great encouragement for those who find themselves in circumstances whereby they are unable to attend Salafi lessons in-person, to listen and follow online from wherever they may be across the world.

It should be highlighted though, that this is not to be understood as a licence to purposely exclude oneself from the physical gatherings with the ability to attend, upon the excuse of being able to listen online anyway. Those who find themselves in a position to attend Salafi lessons, of students for example, in-person within their localities and/or surrounding areas, should make the effort in accordance to their ability to attend and be with their brothers and sisters. It is from the blessing of Allah lessons are now held by Salafi students in various locations across the U.K. and elsewhere, such blessings are deserving of gratitude to be demonstrated upon them. However, those who are genuinely unable to physically attend, then their is great benefit nevertheless in following online, and that is an opportunity not to be wasted.]

@AbuMuadhTaqweem

Ikhlaas and Not Showing off, whether a Scholar or Laymen- Shkh Muhammad b. Haadi- relayed by @ABDULILAH_UK

An important reminder, to be sincere and grounded, and not to show off regarding your actions; no matter how many people follow you or take from you in terms of da’wa.

This reminder has come to us at a crucial time in which we see many people entering into the dawah and religion of Allah. Alhamdulillah the blessings in this dawat-us salafiyyah are great. But we must always remember that anything that is achieved is by the tawfique of Allah and his mercy first. Our effort is very little in comparison to Allah’s immense favour and Mercy upon us to even allow us to be a part of it.

So we should strive as hard as we can to aid this call to Islam; working deligently in this dawah – and we ask Allah to reward us fully – all of us – and not to hold us to account for the things we fall short in.
