[Part 7: Observations on Dr Ibraaheem Ar’Ruhayli – Shaikh Rabee Unveils the Reality behind Dr Ibraaheem’s Statement That Refutation against a Mukhaalif Is Fard Kifaayah]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Tamyee'.

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

NB: Instead of addressing the subject matter of boycotting too soon, we now intend to present few more posts on the subject matter of refutations before that series. The topic at present will be divided into two parts [Part 7 & 7.1]

To proceed: Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli carried on his argument on the subject matter of refutation saying that refutation against the Mukhaalif (i.e. the one in opposition to the truth) is from the Furood Al-Kifaayaat (i.e. obligations that when fulfilled by some of the Muslims, the rest are absolved of responsibility); so if one of the scholars fulfils (the refutation) and the Legislated Islamic goal is accomplished by way of the refutation against the Mukhaalif and the Ummah is warned against him, the rest the scholars are absolved of responsibility.

Then Dr Ibraaheem stated that one of the mistakes that are rife is that when a scholar refutes a Mukhaalif, or issues a Fatwa as a warning against a mistake, many of the students of knowledge who ascribe to the Sunnah would seek  from (other) students and the scholars to clarify their stance towards that refutation or fatwa, rather the affair has reached a state in which even the small students of knowledge and the common people are asked to determine their stance towards the refuter and the one refuted….

Response:

Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadi responded to this statement of Dr Ibraaheem and unveiled the realities behind this statement, saying that if the Legislated Islamic goal behind a refutation carried out by a single person is  reached, the rest of the Muslims (i.e. other scholars and students) are absolved of responsibility.

However, if the legislated Islamic goal is not reached by way of the refutation carried out by one person (i.e. a scholar or student) against a Mukhaalif, due to the fact that the Mukhaalif has become obstinate; supported by people who claim to be people of knowledge and are pleased with his oppressive false refutations against that scholar who refutes Bidah and Futilities, whilst other scholars keep quiet and have not clarified the mistake and futilities of this Mukhaalif; rather this Mukhaalif also utilises the silence of those scholars and seeks to delude the people that those keeping quiet are with him and supporting him, and that had he been upon falsehood, they would have pursued him; then it becomes clearly obligatory upon those scholars who are keeping quiet to clarify the truth for the people. They have to speak in order to aid the truth and put a stop to this fitnah and differing, which occurred as a result of their silence and thus preventing the Legislated Islamic goal of the refutation to be reached, which would have absolved the Muslims of this responsibility.

Therefore, in such a case, it is not permissible to say that the obligation of refutation is removed from the rest of the Muslims. If the Legislated Islamic goal goal is not reached by the refutation carried out by one person or ten people amongst the scholars, the rest of the scholars are not absolved of responsibility until they take up the cause or encourage others to fulfil this goal-those through whom the fitnah will be ended and so that they can manifest the truth to the people, the students of knowledge and the common people, just as they were exposed to the falsehood (of that Mukhaalif, deviant or innovator).

[Part 5] Observations on Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli – Shaikh Rabee Asked him to Explain the Generalities, Give Examples & Proofs, & Refrain from Placing Restrictions Not Mentioned By The Salaf Regarding Refutations

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

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

Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli carried on with his discussion and this time he addressed the subject matter of refutation, the refuter and the one refuted from another angle- stating that in a refutation, consideration has to be given to the differences between those in opposition to the truth, such as the level of the error, and the religious and worldly status of the Mukhaalif (i.e. the one who is upon an error that is in opposition to the truth).

Dr Ibraaheem also stated that consideration should be given to what triggered (or caused) the Mukhaalafah (i.e. the mistake or error that is in opposition to the truth), as to whether it was due to ignorance, or due to desires and innovation, or due to incorrect use of words (expressions etc), or due to a slip of the tongue, or due to being influenced by a Shaikh or the people of the country, or due to at-Taweel (erroneous or false interpretation of the texts), or other than these many reasons that are in opposition to the Islamic legislation. Then Dr Ibraaheem stated that the one who does not make a note of these different affairs and take them into consideration whilst engaged in refutation, he may either fall into some negligence or exaggeration-making his speech either not beneficial to others or end up having little benefit.

Response:

Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadi responded to the above statement of Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli, saying that this entire statement is based on [Ijmaalaat –generalities], so we hope that Dr Ibraaheem will explain these generalities, give examples and establish proofs for them; but if not, many of the readers will fall into confusion. The one who approves these statements (i.e. those restrictions whose necessary explanations, examples and proofs have not been provided by Dr Ibraaheem) will refrain from giving sincere advise due to the presence of those (unwarranted) restrictions (stated by Dr Ibraaheem in the subject matter of refutations).

Then Shaikh Rabee stated: Is it that if a scholar or a student of knowledge sees a people making [Istighaatha- beseeching for help from other than Allaah and offering sacrifice to those beseeched besides Allaah(1)], and so on; is it then obligated on him (i.e. that scholar or student of knowledge) to know the differences between those people who are committing that deed and what led them to that deed? (i.e. does this scholar or student firstly have to know their different statuses in the religion and their worldly status, and what led them to that evil before rejecting the deed and explaining that what they are doing is wrong etc ?!) Does the book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) indicate to this? Allaah (The Most High) stated:

فَإِن تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًا

(And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if you believe in Allah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final determination. [4:59]

The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said:

‘Whosoever of you sees an evil deed, then let him (stop) it with his hand. If he is unable to do so, then let him (stop it) with his tongue. If he is unable to do so, then with his heart (i.e. hate it, consider it to be wrong and keep away from it) and this is the weakest of Eemaan. [2]

The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) did not bring any of those restrictions that have been mentioned by Dr Ibraaheem. And despite the numerous books of the Salaf and the numerous statements in them about refuting bidah and evil affairs, we do not find intense restrictions in them.

Yes, it is incumbent that the refutation carried by a scholar is based on evidences from the Qur’aan and the (authentic) Sunnah, together with an appropriate manner fit for the purpose, which may either require leniency and gentleness (sometimes) or force against the one who is haughty and obstinate (at other times). Both these approaches do not negate wisdom, for indeed wisdom is to place something in its rightful place. However, this does not make it obligated on the refuter to know what led to the bidah or the act of disobedience because that is only known to Allaah. The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said, ”I have not been ordered (by Allah) to search the hearts of the people or cut open their bellies (i.e. to seek after what is hidden, when it is the fact that those things are only known to Allaah)”[Saheeh Al-Bukhaari’ Vol 5; Hadeeth Number: 4351]

Ameerul Mumineen Umar Ibnul Khattaab (radiyallaahu-anhu) said: “People were (sometimes) judged by the revealing of a Divine Inspiration during the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle but now there is no longer any more (new revelation). Now we judge you by the deeds you practice publicly, so we will trust and favour the one who does good deeds in front of us, and we will not call him to account about what he is really doing in secret, for Allah will judge him for that; but we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us with an evil deed even if he claims that his intentions were good.” [3]

Therefore, it is incumbent to make affairs easy for the callers to Allaah and those who defend Allaah’s religion (i.e. do not place unwarranted restrictions in front of them when they refute the opposers of truth). The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said:  ”Make things easy for the people, and do not make things difficult for them and give them glad tidings and do not repel them.” [Saheeh Al-Bukhaari’ Vol 1; Number 69]

Just as the callers to Allaah should facilitate ease [i.e. within the boundaries of the Islamic legislation], likewise ease should be facilitated for them [i.e. within the boundaries of the Islamic legislation] when they disapprove of evil. They are not to be accused of Tashaddud [i.e. that they are over-stringent, when it is the case that the one who accuses them has provided no evidence to justify his accusation] and Ghluww [i.e. that they are extreme- going beyond the boundaries of the Islamic legislation, when it is the case that the one who hurls this accusation at them has provided no evidence to justify his accusation], which they are being accused of at present by this accuser [i.e. Al-Halabi, Al-Maribi etc] in order to oppose and revile Ahlus Sunnah. It is not permissible to place obstacles in front of Ahlus Sunnah, which will weaken their resolve in spreading the truth and defending it. The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said:

”You have indeed been sent to make things easy, and you have not been sent to make things difficult.” [Abu Dawud Number 380]

Placing numerous heavy restrictions in front of those who refute the people of desires and misguidance is from the severest types of making affairs difficult and the furthest from facilitating ease.

[1]  Istighaatha: To seek rescue and deliverance, either from the dead or from those who are living but are not present and able to give aid and rescue, then this is shirk. This is because it will not be done except by one who believes that those people have some unseen control over the creation, and they have therefore attributed to them a share of Lordship that is for Allaah [The Most High] alone. Allaah [The Most High] says:

أَمَّن يُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ الْأَرْضِ ۗ أَإِلَٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّهِ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Is not He (better than your gods) Who responds to the distressed one, when he calls Him, and Who removes the evil, and makes you inheritors of the earth, generations after generations. Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? Little is that you remember! [27:62] [Source: Explanation of the Three Fundamental Principles of Islaam’ page 111’ by Abu Talhah (may Allaah have mercy upon him and his wife)

Sacrifice:

Sacrifice is to kill by spilling the blood of the animal in a particular manner, and it is done for number of reasons:

[a] It is done as an act of worship, such that he (i.e. the person) intends by it veneration of the one for whom he sacrifices, and intends it as an act of submission to Him and a means of nearness to Him. So this may not be done except for Allaah [The Most High] and has to be done in a manner which Allaah Allaah, [The Most High] has prescribed. Directing it to other than Allaah is major shirk and the evidence (as mentioned by the author) is the saying of Allaah [The Most High]:

قُلْ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ

Say (O Muhammad): “Verily, my Salat (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the ‘Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). “He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims.” [6:162-3]

[b] It is done out of hospitality for the guest, or for as weddng feast (waleemah) or the like, then this is something commanded, either as an obligation or a recommendation, as he (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: Whoever truly believes in Allaah and the last day, then let him treat the guest honourably.

[c] It is done to provide food charitably, or sell the meat and so on, then this falls under that which is permissible and is in principle according to the saying of Allaah [The Most High]

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّا خَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّمَّا عَمِلَتْ أَيْدِينَا أَنْعَامًا فَهُمْ لَهَا مَالِكُونَ

وَذَلَّلْنَاهَا لَهُمْ فَمِنْهَا رَكُوبُهُمْ وَمِنْهَا يَأْكُلُونَ

Do they not see that We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that they are their owners. And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. [36:71-2] [Source: Explanation of the Three Fundamental Principles of Islaam’ page 113-114’ by Abu Talhah (may Allaah have mercy upon him and his wife)

[2] Shaikh Rabee says: So whoever among them (i.e. those students of knowledge) has Sultaan (i.e. authority given to him by the law of the land or the authorities), then it is obligated on him to stop these evil affairs with his hand and tongue. The one who does not have Sultaan (i.e. authority given to him by the law of the land or the authorities), then it is obligated on him to stop these evils with his tongue, his pen (i.e. through writing) or his stature (amongst the people).  Then Shaikh Rabee said: I do not think that either a scholar or a student of knowledge would be in opposition in this (affair). See link http://salaficentre.com/2015/12/part-4-observations-on-dr-ibraaheem-ar-ruhayli-sh-rabee-unveils-the-reality-behind-a-statement-of-dr-ar-ruhayli-regarding-refutations/

[3] Faa’idah from Imaam Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) regarding on the narration by Umar (radiyallaahu-anhu). The Shaikh said: ‘’Whoever manifests good, it will be accepted from him and a good suspicion is held about him. And if he manifests evil, it will be held against him and an evil suspicion is held about him.” Al-Hulalul Ibreeziyyah Min At-Taleeqaat Al-Baaziyyah Alaa Saheeh Al-Bukhaariy page:397 Vol 2 footnote 1]

[Part 4.1 – Additional Benefits to Part 4 (Observations on Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli)

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Scholars of Islam.

Shaikh Rabee (may Allaah preserve him) was asked:

Is Jarh and Tadeel (carried out against) specific individuals an affair (to be) specifically (carried out by) the scholars only, or can even the youth (i.e. those students of knowledge still in their youth) who possess knowledge (do so)? [NB: see link for more clarification regarding the levels of those students who are below the level of the scholars:

Answer:

Jarh Wat-Tadeel must be accompanied with sound Aqeedah as pointed out by Khateeb al-Baghdaadee. And there has to be knowledge of the reasons for (carrying out) the Jarh-the reasons must be known and there has to be Wara and Taqwa in it (i.e. the criticism).

So if the person performing the Jarh has knowledge of Jarh Wat-Tadeel and he has Wara and Taqwa, then he can perform Jarh. And if the affair of the Majrooh (i.e. the one against whom valid criticism is established) is clear and known to specific individuals and the general people–(for example), it is well known that this (person) steals; this person commits adultery; this one is a deceiver; this one is a raafidi shiite; this one is a soofee who makes Tawaaf around the graves and establishes the Mamaaleed- [i.e. celebrates the birthday of the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam), other pious people; (or so called religious personalities etc)]- then these are clear affairs known to both a scholar and the one who is not a scholar, and it is not a condition that one has to go to someone who knows the misguidance of those people, (such as) a scholar to criticize them because their affair is clear to the scholar and other than him.

Therefore, it is obligated on every Muslim to make known the affair of such (deviants, sinners, deceivers), warn against them and reject their acts of misguidance. The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallaam) said: ”Whoever sees an evil deed, then let him stop it with his hand…etc [Ref 1: See complete hadeeth in footnotes and Shaikh Rabee’s statement regarding it]

So it is obligated on every Muslim to give sincere advice to the Muslims. [Jarir Bin Abdillaah(Radiyallaahu-anhu)] said: I gave the pledge of allegiance to Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) to establish the prayer, pay the zakaat and give sincere advise to every Muslim.

[Tameem Ibn Aws ad-Daaree (radhiyAllahu anhu) said that the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said]: Ad-deenun naseehah (The Deen is sincerity)”. So we said, “To who O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “To Allah (i.e. to be sincere to Allaah in all affairs of the religion etc) and to His Book (i.e. to follow it etc) and to His Messenger (i.e. to follow him etc) and to the leaders of the Muslims (i.e. to obey them in good, make du’aa for them and not rebel against them etc) and to the common people (i.e. to guide them; love for them what you love for yourself; teach them the truth; warn them against what is harmful to their religious and worldly affairs etc)

At present if you see a raafidi mixing with a common Muslim and calling him to rafd (i.e. the beliefs of the raafidah), do you go to a scholar to refute that shiite! A soofee grave worshipper mixes with a commoner who is upon a sound natural disposition and directs him to his bidah (of grave worship), whilst I know that he is a grave worshipper, then no one can make it binding upon me to go to a scholar to clarify the affair of that grave worshipper and to warn against him. [(NB: Majmoo 14/262-263)…Slightly paraphrased]

[Ref 1] Whosoever of you sees an evil deed, then let him (stop) it with his hand. If he is unable to do so, then let him (stop it) with his tongue. If he is unable to do so, then with his heart (i.e. hate it, consider it to be wrong and keep away from it) and this is the weakest of Eemaan.

So whoever among them (i.e. those students of knowledge) with Sultaan (i.e. authority given to him by the law of the land or the authorities), then it is obligated on him to stop these evil affairs with his hand and tongue. The one who does not have Sultaan (i.e. authority given to him by the law of the land or the authorities), then it is obligated on him to stop these evils with his tongue, his pen (i.e. through writing) or his stature (amongst the people).  Then Shaikh Rabee said: I do not think that either a scholar or a student of knowledge would be in opposition in this (affair).

Part 3: Observations on Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli – A Short Evaluation of His Statement Regarding Good Manners And Reminding Him That The Most Evil Mannered Ones Are Those [Al-Halabi, Al-Maribi etc] Who Wear a False Gown of Salafiyyah In Order To Deceive

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Refutations, Tamyee'.

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

Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli stated that it is obligatory to know that Ahlus Sunnah are the people (who) comply with Islaam completely in creed and (good) manners, and that from lack of understanding is to think that indeed a Sunni or Salafi is the one who actualises (establishes) the creed of Ahlus Sunnah without (having) concern for (good) Islamic manners and etiquettes, and not fulfilling the rights of others etc.

Then Dr Ar-Ruhayli quoted the statement of Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) in Al-Aqeedah Al-Waasitiyyah concerning affairs that Ahlus Sunnah call to such as enjoining good and forbidding evil, performance of the Hajj, Jihaad, the Juma’ah (prayer) and the Eed prayer alongside the rulers whether they (i.e. the rulers) are righteous or sinful.

Also that Ahlus Sunnah preserve the congregational (prayers), give sincere advice to the Muslim Ummah and believe in the statement of the [Prophet (sallal laahu alayhi wasallam)]: ‘’A believer is like a structure (or building) for another believer, some parts of which support the other parts.” Then the Prophet clasped his fingers together to explain] and the statement of the [Prophet (sallal laahu alayhi wasallam)]: [The mutual love, mercy and affection between the believers are like one body; if one limb is hurt the whole body becomes restless with fever]

And that Ahlus Sunnah advice (people) to exercise patience during times of calamity and to be grateful in times of ease, and being pleased with what has been pre-decreed. They call to noble manners and good deeds, and they believe in the meaning of the statement of the [Prophet (sallal laahu alayhi wasallam)]: [The most perfect believer is the one with the best manners]

They (Ahlus Sunnah) urge (people) to keep ties with the one who cuts you off and give to the one who denies you (something). They command (people and themselves) to treat parents with kindness and respect, to keep the ties of kinship and treat neighbours with kindness. They forbid boasting and conceit; transgression and attacking others – whether due to right (i.e. in seeking after a right of theirs) or without right. They command (people and themselves) with noble manners and forbid lowly manners. All they say and do in this regard is carried out whilst adhering to the Book and the Sunnah etc. [For further details, refer to an English translation of the explanation of Al-Aqeedah Al-Waasitiyyah’ by Ustaadh  Taqweem Aslam where the above affairs have been mentioned: http://www.learnaboutislam.co.uk/audio/taqweem-aslam/aqeedah-wasitiyah/aqeedah-wasitiyah-78.mp3  http://www.learnaboutislam.co.uk/audio/taqweem-aslam/aqeedah-wasitiyah/aqeedah-wasitiyah-79.mp3

Response:

Concerning Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli’s statement that from lack of understanding is to think that indeed a Sunni or Salafi is the one who actualises (establishes) the creed of Ahlus Sunnah without (having) concern for (good) Islamic manners and etiquettes etc; Shaikh Rabee replied to him, saying that the one who actualises the creed of Ahlus Sunnah and follows their methodology – (and establishes correct) alliance and disassociation (based on this methodology), but falls short in his manners, he does not exit the fold of Ahlus Sunnah and enter into the fold of Bidah. We do not know from Ahlus Sunnah (i.e. their Imaams, Scholars and notables – the Salaf and khalaf) that they declared a person an innovator due to his shortcomings related to good manners. Even if a follower of the Sunnah fell into some sins, he does not exit the fold of the Sunnah.

And besides this, Ahlus Sunnah of this era are like their predecessors, for they believe in the sound issues of creed and follow the great paths of the Islamic legislation. They establish these great deeds (i.e. they strive in establishing those affairs mentioned by Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah) and noble manners, which the sects of fitan and misguidance cannot catch up with them in that regard. However, the people of fitan and slander hurl accusations at them- out of oppression and transgression- that they do not possess good manners or that they are deprived of good manners. This criminal act (i.e. the false accusations of the people of fitan and misguidance) carried out to oppose Ahlus Sunnah is not something that has occurred in this era, rather it is a repetition of the fabrications of the people of falsehood-the Mutazilah and other than them- and foremost among them were [الجاحظ ] and [النظَّام].

These fabricators (i.e. Al-Jaahiz and An-Nadh-dhaam) of lies against Ahlus Sunnah of old and Ahlus Sunnah of the present era are the vilest people with regards to their manners -though lies, deceptions and slanders in their statements and actions. These evil manners are possessed by Ahlus Sunnah’s adversaries in this era, but they are merely inheritors (i.e. they inherited these evil manners from the old adversaries of Ahlus Sunnah), especially those who wear a false gown of Salafiyyah in this era- those we have referred to in this research (i.e. Al-Maribi, Al-Halabi, Ar’oor etc)

[4]Does Hizbi (Abu Bilal Hanif-Marriage Maker) fear Allaah with regards to who he befriends and accompany? Be warned against falling into Abu Bilal’s Trap because he’ll give your daughters to Hizbiyyoon in Marriage- those who keep the company of Mubtadi’h and their staunch followers

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

A man said to Al-Hasan [Al-Basri (rahimahullaah)]: I have a daughter and she has been sought for marriage; so to whom should I give her in marriage? He (Al-Hasan) said: Marry her to the one who fears Allaah, for he will be kind to her if he loves her. And he will not oppress her when he is angry with her. [1]

Brothers and sisters, may Allaah protect us all and our children from ahlul bidah and the obstinate hizbiyyoon. Does a hizbi fear Allaah (The Most High) by distancing himself from all Mubtadi’ah? Indeed, the hizbies defend innovators and this is what we witness from the obstinate followers of Al-Maribi, Al-Halabi and Al-Maghraawi at Masjid As-Sunnah (Cheethamhill) and elsewhere. They defend those who innovate in the religion of Allaah, even though they know that the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: The worst of all affairs are the newly invented matters (in the religion) and every newly invented matter (in the religion) is a bidah and every bidah is misguidance.’’

Therefore, brothers and sisters will any Salafi be pleased that the Hizbiyyoon of ‘Sunnah Marriages UK’ [The headless chicken Abu Bilal Hanif] get involved in finding husbands for their daughters and wives for their sons?!

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said: If he (i.e. the man) is persistent upon sin, he is not to be married to, because some the pious predecessors said: ‘’He who marries his precious one (i.e. daughter) to an evil doer, then indeed he has severed her womb’’[2]

NB: Who are Abu Bilal’s (Marriage Maker) friends and allies? His friends and allies are the the hizbiyyoon of Masjid Al-Furqan (Rushlome) and the Hizbiyyoon of Masjid As-Sunnah (Cheethamhill)

Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah) said: ‘He who loves the deeds of a people, good or bad, is just like the one who commits them'[1]

Shaikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) commented saying:

He who loves the deeds of a people is just like one who commits them; so if those (deeds) are good he gets a reward similar to theirs, and if those (deeds) are bad he bears the burden and sin similar to theirs. We seek Allaah’s refuge from that!

And due to this, it has been reported concerning the one who wishes to be like the scholar who teaches the people good, that he will get a reward similar to that of (that Scholar).  And the one who wishes to be like the rich person who spends his wealth in the path of Allah, (then) he will receive a reward similar to that of (that rich person) in accordance to his intention.

Likewise, the opposite of this is (with regards) to the one who wishes to be like the criminal and the people of sin, (and) wishes to be their partners in sin or give support to their views and hold it to be true, (then) he is like them even if he did not commit an act similar to theirs, (but) solely (due to the fact that) he held their views to be correct and took their side.[end of quote][2]

Abu Ibraheem (Husnayn) recommends Abu Suhaib Bassam- a student and staunch supporter  of the Murji Mubtadi, Ali Al-Halabi. When this Abu Suhaib entered the city of Manchester, he proceeded for Dawah with the followers of Al-Halabi Al-Murji Al-Mubtadi, Al-Maghraawi At-Takfeeri Al-Mubtadi and and Al-Maribi Al-Ikhwaani al-Mubtadi at Masjid As-Sunnah [Cheethamhill].

Abu Suhaib is well aware of the detail refutations of the Scholars against Halabi and his innovations, however he takes pride in defending Al-Halabi and openly keeping the company Al-Halabi’s staunch followers. Abu Suhaib is afflicted with a corrupt Walaa Wal Baraa in this affair of Al-Halabi, even though he portray himself as one who fights all bidah. In one of his lectures he stated that ”Every Bidah is Misguidance”; but what prevents him from openly refuting the innovations of Ali Al-Halabi Al-Murji al-Mubtadi?!

Also in that same lecture, Abu Suhaib quoted the statement of Ibn Mas’ood (radiyallaahu-anhu) as follows: ”Follow and do not innovate, and hold unto the old affair for you have been sufficed.”  He (Abu Suhaib) even questioned the proponents of Bidah Hasanah, asking them whether they are stupid or stubborn for holding onto this erroneous view! However, Abu Suhaib refrains from openly denouncing Al-Halabi and his innovations, even though the innovations of Ali Al-Halabi are also from the affairs of misguidance. 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)

So we say to Abu Ibraheem Husnayn: Do you promote the staunch supporters of Mubtadi’ah and consider them to be upon the balanced path?! How can the staunch followers of Mubtadi’ah be considered as such, rather the people upon the balanced path are those who abandon the obstinate figureheads of bidah and their staunch followers. They reject the shubuhaat of the figureheads of bidah and their staunch followers at Masjid As-Sunnah (Manchester), Masjid Al-Ghurabaa (Luton), Masjid Ibn Taymiyyah (Brixton), Masjid Al-Furqan (Manchester) and other people of hizbiyyah.

Reminder To Abu Ibraaheem About What The Balnaced Path Is

Shaikh Muhammad Bin Saalim Baazmool (may Allaah preserve him) stated:

It is widely known about some of the people that Al [ٱلۡوُسۡطَ] is only that which occupies the middle position between two things, and they do not call to attention the other meaning of this word, as mentioned in the Magnificent Qur’aan and the Prophetic Sunnah. [ٱلۡوُسۡطَ ]  in the Islamic legislation is that which is ‘Superior.’ [Allaah (The Most High)] said: said:

حَـٰفِظُواْ عَلَى ٱلصَّلَوَٲتِ وَٱلصَّلَوٰةِ ٱلۡوُسۡطَىٰ

Guard strictly (five obligatory) As-Salawaat (the prayers) especially the Salatul Wustaa (the Asr prayer) [2:238] [ٱلۡوُسۡطَىٰ]; meaning: the best, most excellent etc.

And [Allaah (The Most High)] said:

مِنۡ أَوۡسَطِ مَا تُطۡعِمُونَ أَهۡلِيكُمۡ

[مِنۡ أَوۡسَطِ ] [On the scale] of the average of that which you feed your own families” [5:89] That is: The best and most just.

And [Allaah (The Most High)] said:

وَكَذَٲلِكَ جَعَلۡنَـٰكُمۡ أُمَّةً۬ وَسَطً۬ا

Thus We have made you [أُمَّةً۬ وَسَطً۬ا] [2:143]

 That is: the best and most upright.

The intent behind this is to understand that [الوسطية] in the religious context is that which is ‘best’ and the ‘Justice in the Religion’—(and it is) to follow that which Allaah (The Mighty)and Magestic) has commanded and keep away   from that which He has forbidden.  As for the explanation of [الوسطية] in the religious context with a meaning other than this meaning, it is (founded upon something) ready to crumble. It is a mirage which a thirsty one considers water (i.e. an illusion). [3]

Question Abu Ibraheem (Husnayn): Can it be said that a Murji Mubtadi Ali Al-Halabi and his staunch followers are upon the middle path? Rather the scholars have established with clear proofs that Ali al-Halabi is a Murji and an extreme Mumayyi. Ali Al-Halabi innovated principles in order to accommodate innovators such as Al-Maghraawi and Al-Maribi into the ranks of Ahlus Sunnah. So where is the balance in Ali Al-Halabi’s Manhaj and why do you associate with his staunch supporter Abu Suhaib Bassam? Be warned against giving recommendations based on ignorance or desires! Indeed, either you are confused about Abu Suhaib’s corrupt alliance or you are like him. Ponder upon this Tazkiyah from Ali Al-Halabi Al-Murji al-Mubtadi to Abu Suhaib Bassam:

Praise be to Allah, and the benediction and salutation on the Messenger of Allah on his progeny and his companions and those who follow him After that: Verily our brother in the cause of Allah, Abu Sohaib Bassam Abul Haj is from among our brothers from the salafiyyun known with us for the propagation of faith to Allah’s book and the Sunnah upon the manhaj of the salaf, refuting the deviated people of innovation. May Allah grant us the right aptitude and every virtue returns to Him.[End of Quote—original Tazkiyah in Arabic available on the net]

In the above Tazkiyah Ali al-Halabi says that Abu Suhaib refutes the people of deviation! So why has Abu Suhaib refrained from refuting the innovations of Ali Al-Halabi after the scholars have clearly established that Ali Al-Halabi has innovated. 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)

Abu Ibraaheem: Akhi refrain from speaking without proof, for indeed it is a great sin. Allaah (The Most High) said:

وَلَا تَقْفُ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ ۚ إِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُولَٰئِكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْئُولًا

And follow not (O man i.e., say not, or do not or witness not, etc.) that of which you have no knowledge (e.g. one’s saying: “I have seen,” while in fact he has not seen, or “I have heard,” while he has not heard). Verily! The hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those you will be questioned (by Allah). [17:36]

And be remnded once again what Imaam Al-Barbahaari’s (rahimahullaah) stated: He who loves the deeds of a people is just like one who commits them; so if those (deeds) are good he gets a reward similar to theirs, and if those (deeds) are bad he bears the burden and sin similar to theirs. We seek Allaah’s refuge from that!

We ask Allaah to distance you from the company of those who defend and shelter Mubtadi’ah and grant you tawfeeq to find the balanced path and its people. Aameen.

A Warning Against The Deceptive Salafi Events’’ Must Read

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Brotherhood, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Deviated Callers & Individuals, Methodology - 'Manhaj'.

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

SalafiEventsUK have recently been exposed for having promotional material for the likes of Yasir Qadhi and the disgraceful Abu Eesa Niamatullah of al-Maghrib Institute on their masjid walls – the exact same masjid they are now holding the quick ‘cover up’ conference in to divert attention away from the embarrassing exposure.

In this quick cover-up conference they have invited an individual by the name of Abdurahman Hasan, and have lavishly promoted him as having ‘studied under’ Shaykh Abdul Muhsin and Shaykh Fawzan, (even they had enough sense to realize phrasing it as “student of Shaykh Abdul Muhsin and Shaykh Fawzan” would not have fooled anyone, hence the watered down – yet still lavish – version “studied under”).

There is one piece of information SalafiEventsUK failed to inform everyone – rather conveniently – and instead kept it under careful guard concealed; the name of another “Shaykh” this foolish humiliated (by the Takfeeries) Abdurahman Hasan studied with. You will soon realize why…

His name is Abu Ishaaq al-Huwayni from Egypt. So who is he? The Salafi scholars will inform you….

➡️Shaykh Muqbil: Whilst answering a question and mentioning that it’s not necessary someone who does not have salafi cassettes and books is not salafi however “we must look to whom they associate with and befriend? Do they affiliate with innovators? Yes, like Abdurahman Abdul Khaaliq and Abu Ishaaq al-Huwayni  – these two are considered from the innovators. Yes indeed, similarly, Safar (al hiwaly) and Salman (al Awda) also are (all) considered from the innovators….”

https://youtu.be/g5QN073MsRE

➡️Shaykh Ahmed an-Najmy:

Q: What is the state of all the following – Muhammad al-Maghrawi, Abu Ishaaq al-Huwayni, Hussein Ya’qoob?

A: That which I know about Muhammad al-Maghrawy is that he is Takfeery, and Abu Ishaaq al-Huwayni also, and he is from the friends of Abul-Hasan and his supporters, as for Hussein Ya’qoob I do not know him”.

➡️Shaykh Rabee’ al-Madkhaly:

“For years I have not answered (regarding Huwayni), I wanted to delay regarding his affair, I wanted to debate him (over his errors), I sent him advices, but (he hasn’t changed) he is as he was, he doesn’t increase in anything except further distancing himself from the Salafi Methodology, and increasing in unity with the Qutbees, so this is his state, this is his state now. He claims to be from ahlus Sunnah yet gets closer to the people of innovation, and associate with them and unite with them”.

Please do not be confused by these deceptive individuals “SalafiEventsUK”. They support hizbees and work with them (from masjid sunnah Cheetham Hill who cut the phone line on purpose on Sh Rabee when he was going to refute their shaykh abul hasan Mariby the innovator), they promote al Maghrib on their walls, they had syed qutb books available to the public – until they were exposed.

They now invite the foolish Abdurahman Hasan who thought he could debate the Takfeeries and instead ended up in national humiliation for himself after they defeated him, the Takfeeries were jubilant posting up the video everywhere after their victory.

They invite Abul Abbas Naveed, the known liar, a defender of GLM who lectures with them, a defender of Abu Osama Dhahaby. A member of the refuted madeenahdotcon.

The advice is to STAY AWAY, do not attend these events of theirs. Protect your religion. Do not end up with almaghrib or GLM or with Abu Osama Dhahaby through SalafiEventsUK. BaarakAllahu feekum.

Please forward and advise your friends & family to stay away from these deceptive individuals.

Al-Maktabah As-Salafiyyah Has Done Nothing Wrong To Brother Tahir Wyatt, Rather He Brought Blame on Himself Due To His Actions and Companionship

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

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

Indeed, the affair of Tahir Wyatt (may Allaah rectify his affair) is easy to understand. If I am told that brother Tahir has received praises from such and such Shaikh, I will reply saying: Tahir Wyatt’s actions are proof of what he is guilty of. So let us look at some insightful statements of Shaikh Ubaid (may Allaah preserve him):

Quote:

Therefore, it is incumbent upon you that when the state of that person is made clear–the one whose fame is widespread–then you should be cautious of him as long as he was warned against by those people of knowledge and Imaan who are upon the Sunnah; for indeed they will unveil his affair with evidences.  And there is no hindrance in unveiling the state of that person who has been warned against by a scholar or scholars with the appropriate etiquettes and in a good manner because that scholar will say to you: “I saw this and that in him, and I saw this and that in the book of such and such, or I heard this or that in the cassette of such and such.” [End of quote]

So what is the affair that is manifest about brother Tahir?

Firstly, brother Tahir is an associate of Madeenah.com

Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu-anhu) said, the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ”A person is upon the religion of his friend, so let each one of you look at whom he befriends.” [As-Saheehah: 97]

And amongst the associates of brother Tahir at Madeenah.com is Naveed Ayaaz- the shameless and obstinate shelterer of the staunch followers of Al-Maribi, Al-Halabi and Al-Maghraawi at Masjid As-Sunnah [Cheethamhill-Manchester]. Naveed openly accompanies the staunch followers of these innovators at Masjid As-Sunnah as well as promote the compulsive liar and man of Bidah Abu Usaamah. Likewise, Naveed associates himself with Greenlane’s Admin -the affiliates of Ihyaa Turaath, Yasir Qadhi, Abu Usaamah, Kamaal Mekki etc. This is Naveed’s companionship, an associate of Tahir Whytt at Madeenah.com. And just as Naveed finds excuses for his companions and attacks the Salafiyyoon of Nelson and Manchester, likewise Tahir Whytt is guilty of a similar crime from another angle, as Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadi (may Allaah preserve him) stated:

Finally: We remind ourselves of this hadeeth once again-Narrated Aisha (radiyallaahu-anhaa): I heard the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) saying, ‘’Souls are like recruited troops; those who are of like qualities are inclined to each other, but those who have dissimilar qualities differ.’’ [Saheeh Bukhaari Vol 4. Hadeeth Number 3336. Darusallam]

Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajar (rahimahullaah) stated one of the meanings of this hadeeth in Fat-hul Baari that Al-Khattaabi (rahimahullaah) said: This may indicate to mean similarity in good and evil, righteousness or corruption– the good one amongst the people  is inclined towards one similar to him, and the evil one is similarly inclined towards the one similar to him.  Souls have an affinity with others in accordance with the nature in which they were created, good or evil. They will agree if their natures are similar, otherwise they will be at loggerheads…  [See Fat-hul Baari for further details]

Tahir Whytt’s associate at Madeenah.com (Naveed Ayaaz) refuse to take a stance against al-Maribi, rather he even defends the staunch followers of Al-Maribi and attack the Salafiyyoon. Likewise, Tahir refuses to take a stance but finds it easy to criticise, just as Shaikh Rabee (may Allaah preserve him) has stated.

As for the brothers at Al-Maktabah as-Salafiyyah, their companionship is well known in the UK, America, Canada and elsewhere. They are neither with the innovators Al-Maribi, Al-Halabi, Al-Maghraawi nor are they associated with any Markaz (or organization) that promotes these people, nor are they associated with any individual who promotes them. Therefore, the affair is very clear.

We ask Allaah for Sidq, Thabaat, Ikhlaas and Husnul Khaatimah. Aameen

 The verdict of the scholars against Abul Hasan Al-Maribi

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

Abandon this man (i.e. Abul Hasan) and call to the methodology of Ahlus Sunnah wal-Jamaa-ah.” [Source: Siyaanatus-salafi Min Waswasati Wa-Talbeesaat Ali Al-Halabi: 533]

Al-Allaamah Abdullaah Al-Ghudayaan (rahimahullaah) said:

”This man (i.e. Abul Hasan al-Maribi) is subjected to trials and tribulations, (he is) insignificant and foolish.” [Source: Siyaanatus salafi: page: 533]

Al-Allaamah Bin Yahyah An-Najmi (rahimahullaah) said:

”Indeed, it has been finally established with me that Abul Hasan is a Mubtadi (innova-tor).” [Source: Siyaanatus-salafi: page: 533]

Imaam Muqbil Bin Haadee Al-Waadi-ee (rahimahullaah) said:

”Be cautious of Abul Hasan….I fear for the Dawah with regards to Abul Hasan.” He (rahimahullaah) also said: ”Abul Hasan is sly. He utilises cleverness and not what is from righteousness, purity and uprightness…..” [Source: Siyaanatus Salafi page: 533]

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Hadee al-Madkhalee (may Allaah preserve him) said:

”The initial affair with regards to them (i.e. Al-Abul Hasan al-Maribi, Muhammad Hassaan and Abu Ishaaq Al-Huwayni) is that they are ikhwaanees, upon the nurturing of the ikhwaanees.” [Source: Siyaanah: page:534]

 Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadee (may Allaah preserve him) said:

”Indeed, many of the Salafi brothers are aware of the condition of this man (i.e. Abul Hasan Al-Maribi); rather at present he is with the groups of illegal partisanship, and he says, he says and he says of that which is recorded in his cassettes. And he used to reject these (affairs) the day before, but today he came with them with his own tongue. We ask Allaah for wellbeing and safety. He now speaks with the affairs he used to reject from the callers to illegal partisanship the day before….until the Shaikh said: ‘’I know him (i.e. Abul Hasan), he does not feel ashamed of telling lies.” [Source: Siyaanatus salafi: page: 535]

Al-Allaamah Ubaid Bin Abdillaah Al-Jaabiriy (may Allaah preserve him) said:

”This man (i.e. Abul Hasan) is an ikhwaanee…” [Source: Siyaanatus salafi: page:534]
