A Book We Should Have if Possible -[Qaa’idah Jaleelah Fee At-Tawassul Wal-Waseelah’ by Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah(rahimahullaah)] with the Tahqeeq of Shaikh Rabee (may Allaah preserve him)]
Saudi King Abdul Azeez (rahimahullaah) said: Every person who has an advice (Ref 1) for us from the Book (i.e. the Qur’aan) or the Sunnah, we are ready at all times -whether (that advice) is from an elder or young person, a person of noble status or a person (considered) to be of low status. Whoever wants us to oppose anything from that (i.e. what the Book and Sunnah obligates), we will never accept it, for indeed Allaah commanded us to follow the Islamic legislation and that we adhere to it with our molar teeth (i.e. firmly adhere to it); so whoever is angry with us due to us adhering to our religion, then let him be angry with us as long as he wills.

Kitaab An-Nikaah, Saheeh Bukhaari Vol: 7; Hadith Number:5065
Chapter: The Statement of the Prophet (sallal’laahu’alayhi’wasallam)
‘Whoever is able to marry, should marry, for that will help him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.).’ And should a person marry (even if) he has no desire for marriage?
Narrated ‘Alqamah: while I was with Abdullaah, uthman met him at Mina and said, ‘O Abu Abdur-Rahmaan! I have something to say to you.’ So both of them went aside and uthmaan said, ‘O Abu Abdur-Rahmaan! Shall we marry you to a virgin who will make you remember your past days? When Abdullaah felt that he was not in need of that, he beckoned me (to join him) saying, ‘O Alqamah’ Then I heard him saying (in reply to uthmaan), ‘As you have said that, (I tell you that) the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) once said to us, ‘O young people! Whoever among you is able to marry, should marry, and whoever is not able to marry, is recommended to observe fast as fasting will diminish his sexual power’.
Shaikh Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) stated:
Therefore, to get marriage is the correct (thing to do) as a complete obligation upon the one who has shahwa (sexual desires) even if he is not in fear of falling to Zinaa. This is with regards to the one whose situation allows him to get married. And in this is a (manifestation) of Uthman’s righteous moral conduct. It (shows) that the elderly person can get married as long as he has the strength for sexual relations. And the main address (in this hadith) is directed at the young people because in most cases they possess stronger desires and are more in need of that (i.e. fulfilment of such desires).

The Imaam Rabee bin Haadi Al Madkhalee – May Allah preserve him – said:
“Search for a believing companion, who aids you upon obedience to Allah, and encourages you with good and warns you from evil and you do not gain from him except good.”

The Imaam Rabee bin Haadi Al Madkhalee – May Allah preserve him – said:
“I advise you to follow the path of the pious predecessors in learning, manners and dawah; neither being over stringent nor going beyond bounds(i.e. going beyond Allah’s legislated boundaries in the Qur’aan and the authentic Sunnah)”

Imaam Dhahabee (rahimahullaah) stated that Salamah Bin Alqamah relates from Ibn Seereen (rahimahullaah) who said: Imraan Ibn Hattaan married a khaarijiyyah (a female khaarijite) and said, ‘’I will bring her back’’ (i.e. make her leave her misguidance). Ibn Seereen (rahimahullaah) said: ‘’However, she converted him to her way.’’

A Precise, Robust and Evidence Based Response to the False Claim ‘’You Salafis Are Too Harsh’’- By Ustaadh Abu Hakeem [Bilaal ibn Ahmad Davis (Hafidhahullaah)]
The Shaikh (may Allaah preserve him) stated:
*If you do (or revive) a deed (i.e. a deed that is established in the Islamic legislation by way of proof) which was forgotten (or abandoned) by the people, then indeed you have started (or restarted) a good Sunnah for them.
*As for innovating something (i.e. religious beliefs and practices) in the religion which are not to be found in it, then this is bidah about which the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ‘’Whoever innovates in this affair of ours that which is not from it will have it rejected.’’
Allaah (The Most High) said:
[أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَاء شَرَعُوا لَهُم مِّنَ الدِّينِ مَا لَمْ يَأْذَن بِهِ اللَّهُ -Or have they partners with Allah (false gods), who have instituted for them a religion which Allah has not allowed] [42:21]
*If this (Mawlid) was something good, the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and the Sahaabah would have preceeded us to it.
Indeed, the companions knew the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and they loved him more than us, but many of us (i.e. those who celebrate Mawlid) unfortunately do not know him (i.e. his authentic Sunnah and his ways) except by way of this (Mawlid). As for the Sahaabah, they (radiyallaahu-anhum) knew his every moment; they spent their wealth to aid Allaah’s (The Mighty and Majestic) religion and to raise Allaah’s Word (i.e. Laa ilaaha ilal-laah). They demonstrated their love for the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) through their belief in him, followed him, sacrificed their lives and their wealth to aid his religion.
*As for these ones (i.e. those heads of misguidance who call the people to celebrate the Mawlid), they say that they love the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and they initiate these Mawlids because it includes devouring the wealth of the people by way of falsehood, and they commit shirk, fictitious deeds and misguidance in these Mawlids (i.e. the practices of the extreme soofiyyah). Is this the religion of Allaah? Is the one who initiated this to be praised?
*Those who first initiated this Mawlid were the Baatiniyyoon-the enemies of Allaah and His Messenger, and enemies of the religion of Islaam. They brought this filthy innovation, which is now defended by a people who claim that they are from Ahlus Sunnah, whilst unfortunately they are from the people of misguidance.

May Allaah guide these people Aameen
Ubaidullaah Ibn Mihsan Al-Khatmiy narrated from his father that the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: “Whoever among you wakes up (in the morning) safe in his property, healthy in his body and has his daily nourishment, it is as if he has been granted the entire world.
