[Part 2] Series of Responses to Abu Usaamah’s Habitual Deceitfulness

Another Deceptive Attempt by Abu Usaamah to Nullify The Fatwa Against Him (via Facebook)

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

Every Sensible Person Can Smell The Rat Here? [Abu Usaamah Does Not Support Al-Maribi (according to his followers)]; Yet He Elevated Al-Maribi With Praise

Abu Usaamah was recently caught amputating important sections of the question that was put to Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi (rahimahullaah) about him, see here: https://twitter.com/SalafiCentre/status/718165871961751553

Just as a reminder here is the full question:

“O Shaykh Ahmad we have with us in America a man called Abu Usaamah, who is considered to be from the Du’aat, he aids and supports Abul-Hasan and he calls some noble Salafi brothers ghulaat (extremists), muqallidah (blind followers), and muhqiboon (the people whose religion is the religion of the one they blindly follow), so what is the legislated position from this man and how should we deal with him?’’

With the answer

“Your position with him is the same as your position with the People of Innovation. Turn away from him and abandon him.”

It was strange for us to discover his (or his administration’s/PR people’s) response on his facebook1 page. Soon after that uncovering of his deception, he/they made a short reply in an attempt to rebut what had been made clear, trying to annul againt he Shaykh’s verdict by claiming that

“BLATANT LIES WERE TOLD TO THE SHAYKH”

and

“Abu Usaamah DOES NOT support Abul Hasan al Ma’ribi at all, but does not see him to be an innovator”

These claims were made against the backdrop of that clearly incriminating cut and paste fatwa Abu Usaamah tried to use. Abu Usaamah here is trying to annul the section in the fatwa where the question states “supports Abul-Hasan“. He thinks by doing so, he may once again dig himself out of the hole he has found himself in, by now claiming that he does not support Al-Maribi (as stated in the question in the fatwa), and therefore by extension say that this fatwa cannot apply to him?!

Well once again this is a smokescreen, and another attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of the people. So let us go back and reconcile his statement, with the position Abu Usaamah was in at the time of the question! So he stated in 2002 about Al-Maribi:

WHAT I STILL BELIEVE TODAY Wa Lilaahi-l-Hamd, that Abul Hasan IS SALAFEE and that the (TRUE) MAJOR SCHOLARS of this era, Imaam al-Albaanee and Imaam Ibn Baaz and Imaam Ibn ‘Uthaimeen and Shaikh Muqbil (may Allah have mercy upon them) they all died while being pleased with him – and that carries some weight and consideration in this Deen?! (raghm unoofihim)

So this statement was made by Abu Usaamah, after the proofs had been established against Al-Maribi. Yet he is trying to claim that the fatwa cannot apply because he was is not a supporter of Al-Maribi?! We can clearly see from the statement above, that ad-Dhahabi still elevated Al-Maribi (the innovator) with praise! He uttered words that put Al-Maribi in a favourable position, even going as far as adding some shubuhaat (doubts) about support for Al Ma’ribi from scholars.

With regards to his doubt-ridden statement above the students at SalafiPublications (may Allaah preserve them) replied to the above statement (made by ad-Dhahabi). But let us all be clear and in no doubt of the position held by Abu Usaamah with regards to the innovator Abu Hasan al Ma’ribi when the question was asked about him. And with Allah lies the success.


 

Response by Salafi Publications to the statement of Praise and elevation from Abu Usaamah for Abul Hasan al Ma’ribi

Abu Usaamah adh-Dhahabi, may Allaah guide him away from this Ikhwaanee fitnah, makes numerous references to TRUE Major scholars. And he also makes it a point to emphasise the word “TRUE”, keeping it in caps, and also in brackets, before the term “Major Scholars”. By this term he means to intend either the Imaams of the Sunnah who have recently passed away, or those from the Major scholars, who defend Abul-Hasan or do not share the same viewpoint as those who have refuted him and exposed him.

A few points need to be made clear, because this can be counted as talbees upon the people, whether intended or not:

ONE: When a reader reads his, he most probably thinks that therefore the TRUE major scholars are those who spoke good of Abul-Hasan al-Ma’ribee and did not criticise him or expel him from Salafiyyah.

TWO: When a reader reads this, he is led to believe that Shaykh Rabee is not from the “TRUE” Major scholars, even if Abu Usaamah does not intend this, but this is what comes across to the reader, because the situation here for Abu Usaamah is one of vindicating himself and his false position on Abul-Hasan, hence he deliberately made it a point to emphasise the TRUE major scholars, and he connected this with the position on Abul-Hasan and defence of him. And we do not dispute that all those mentioned are in fact TRUE Major scholars, we are in agreement. But this is ends up with talbees upon the people, whether intended or not, because, we have to keep things into context.

THREE:  Imaam al-Albaanee said, “The carrier of the flag of al-jarh wat-ta’deel is our brother, dr. Rabee… and those who refute him do not so upon knowledge, rather to him is all the knowledge”. And Imaam al-Albaani here is not talking about the narrators of hadeeth, he is speaking about refuting the opposers to Salafiyyah. Imaam Ibn Uthaymeen also said, that Shaykh Rabee’ is one whose manhaj is  Salafiyyah and he is very strong in calling to it, and the Shaykh also said that the only reason why people find fault with Shaykh Rabee’ and dislike his cassettes and make accusations against him is because he spoke about their figureheads from the contemporary latecomers. Shaykh Salih al-Fawzaan has many statements written and recorded in which he says that Shaykh Rabee’ is amongst those who have skilled and deep knowledge in refuting those who wish inhiraaf in the da’wah. And Shaykh Muhammad al-Bannaa has many statements about Shaykh Rabee also, and Shaykh Muqbil said that whoever Shaykh Rabee says is a hizbee, then it will become clear to you after some time that he is a hizbee. Also Shaykh Rabee is amongst the oldest of the scholars alive today. And don’t forget what Usaamah al-Qoosee (may Allaah guide him) used to say, that Rabee is the Imaam Ahmad of our times, he is a mihnah (test), he does not compromise nor lie, he speaks the truth, he is a whole manhaj, not just a person. So don’t forget this Yaa Abaa Usaamah, may Allaah guide you away from this Ikhwaanee fitnah.

In light of all of this it is established that Shaykh Rabee’, is a TRUE major Scholar. So it is obligatory upon you to explain this to the people and not to allow the people to be  deceived by these talbeesaat which exist in your bayaan.

FOUR: For the readers, why is this is of significance. This is of significance, because Abul-Hasan al-Ma’ribee and those who are deceived by him like Abu Usaamah, are trying to wage a war against the principles of Jarh of the Innovators and Opposers.

Al-Ma’ribee represents a line and tradition of people, who came before him, who brought about this war. This started with Hasan al-Bannaa with the principle, “Let us cooperate in that which we agree, and pardon each other (i.e. for the Shirk, Innovation, and misguidance), in which we disagree.” This principle abolished the idea of Jarh of the Innovators and these ideas spread by way of al-Ikhwaan into many different lands, thereby harming the Sunnah. Then when the scholars refuted this and explained that there are sects that are headed for the Fire, sects of innovation and they are upon innovation and deviation and hence must be spoken about, and that there are Innovators and those who misguide who must be spoken about, this harmed the Ikhwaanee da’wah. So along came Abdur-Rahman Abdul-Khaaliq and Salman al-Awdah and Adnaan Ar’oor and they brought al-Muwaazanah. The evil innovation which makes it binding that when you refute someone, an innovator, a deviant, an opposer, you must mention his good points also. So the Major Scholars, amongst the Shaykh Rabee’ at the forefront, and then after him there followed Shaykh al-Albaani, Shaykh Ibn Baaz, Shaykh al-Fawzaan, Shaykh al-Abbaad, and many others who demolished this innovation. Then there came Abu-Hasan al-Maribee, and he brought some new principles, this time to try to demolish the jarh that would come from the scholars. And basically what he wanted to do was to refute the established principle, that a Jarh Mufassar overrules the ta’deel, even if the Mu’addiloon are many in number. So he layed down all his principles, of “tathabbut”, of “absence of taqleed”, “mujmal and mufassal” and many other matters, all to make as many excuses and ways out for those people whom the scholars would refute and criticise and convict with innovation or misguidance, where that was the case. This is what he did, he merely extended the Ikhwaanee war against the Salafees by way of this deception.

So once you have understood all this, you will also have some appreciation as to why what Abu Usaamah has written and his deliberate intent to emphasise TRUE major scholars, only in the context of those who passed away while speaking good of Abul-Hasan al-Ma’ribee or in the context of Shaykh Abdul-Muhsin al-Abbaad. This is because this underlying deception (whether it is intended by Abu Usaamah or not) has the effect of leading the person to think: “Yeah, the manhaj of these Scholars is different to the manhaj of Shaykh Rabee. Yeah. Their manhaj wasn’t like this.”

And this type of speech you see also coming from Usaamah al-Qoosee and those with him in their loyalty to Abul-Hasan al-Ma’ribee. Pushing it in the minds of the people that the TRUE major scholars who passed away and Shaykh Abdul-Muhsin who is alive (hafidhahullaah), all have a different manhaj to those criticising Abul-Hasan al-Ma’ribee, and they all have a different manhaj to Shaykh Rabee. All of this is talbees upon the people. This is what this group of people are now doing both in the Arab lands, and also in the West to get this idea across to the people, so beware of it, and they are using the likes of these talbeesaat upon the people. They know that this is the case, even if they do not explicitly say it outwardly, they know deeply inside their own souls, that this is the propaganda they are forcing upon the people. Al-Ma’ribee has come out openly with this, but those who are with him like Usaamah al-Qoosee and those with him, are upon the same thing, but they are not so open and instead use other tactics, like coming out in the name of moderation, balance, equity, justice and so on.

FIVE: So the point here is that we know that if one scholar, known to be upon the Sunnah, an Aalim, rather an Imaam in his field, knowing what he says, brings proof for what he says, is truthful, trustworthy, when he makes jarh upon an individual, and has a jarh mufassar, then it is obligatory to take his speech, even if those who oppose him and make ta’deel are many.

And this is what has happened in the issue of Abul-Hasan al-Ma’ribee except that the issue is even more clear, because there are about 8 of the people of knowledge who have declared him outside of Ahl us-Sunnah, some of them made explicit tabdee’, and this number is growing, and those who know he is upon baatil and misguidance are very many also. So now, these people want to fight against this reality, and they want to the people to lose track of this important principle which is that the jarh mufassar takes precedence over the ta’deel. This is why if you read this bayaan of Abu Usaamah and also his previous writings, you find that they never ever go in this direction, to explain this point. Why because they themselves, (because they have been deceived by al-Ma’ribee), are actually waging a war against this principle. Al-Mar’ibee waged a war against this principle in order to defend Sayyid Qutb, and al-Maghraawee, and al-Ikhwaan and some of its figureheads. Hence, you see the likes of these talbeesaat and arguing by way of the mutashaabihaat and focusing the people in directions which make them lose track of what this matter is all about. So you never see them going in this direction, whereas the Salafees, as you have seen, they have made it clear to the people, the issue of Jarh Mufassar, and they have made it clear to the people, the difference between Jarh in narrators of hadeeth and Jarh of the Innovators and Mukhaalifeen, there are differences between these two subjects (even if there some similarities), so the Salafees  have clarified the Usool in the manhaj, and you see the speech of the Salafees revolving around this, you see knowledge, you see fahm, you see the desire to clarify and explain. And as for the likes of Abu Usaamah and those upon the manhaj of Abul-Hasan, you only see confusion, no knowledge, and dodging the issues and confusing the people, and fleeing from the real issues that make up this fitnah.

Instead you see examples, of what we have pointed out here, examples by which they keep away from the actual issue of Abul-Hasan, and the particular details of it and the established principles in the Salafee manhaj pertaining to Jarh of the innovators and deviants, and then most of their argument is centred around demonising the Salafees, they said this and did that, and tried to push this one out of the da’wah and that one, and accusing them of all sorts, whilst keeping away from discussing the actual issue, from an usool point of view, which has been the cause of all this fitnah: the Ikhwaanee manhaj of Abul-Hasan al-Ma’ribee. And also talbeesaat like the one that comes across here, which is trying to portray or link someone being a TRUE major scholar as being one who did not speak evil of Abul-Hasan.

SIX: The summary here, is Abu Usaamah needs to openly acknowledge to the people, that Shaykh Rabee is also a TRUE major scholar who has criticised Abul-Hasan al-Ma’ribee and that he should not try to play these psychological games with his audience. And that by testimony of Shaykh al-Albaani, Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen, Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, Shaykh Muqbil, Shaykh Mohammad al-Bannaa (all of them major scholars), Shaykh Rabee’ is an Imaam in the field of refuting the Hizbiyyeen and the figureheads of Ikhwaan, and in knowing the people who “wish to cause deviation in da’wah” (as Shaykh al-Fawzaan said) and that by the admission of these scholars themselves, Shaykh Rabee’ is more knowledgeable and more skilled than them in this particular field. So we ask Abu Usaamah to openly announce this to the people, so as to not cause talbeesaat upon them. Then when he has announced this to the people, we then also ask him to openly announce and explain to the people the correct manhaj in the issue of when some scholars refute a person and others give him praise and see nothing that warrants him being refuted or having jarh made upon, and that there is a rule, an established rule that represents this manhaj that is to be adopted, which is that a Jarh Mufassar takes precedence over the ta’deel, even if the Mu’addiloon are many.

If Abu Usaamah’s bayaans were more knowledge-based instead of being filled with emotions, then maybe we can evaluate and see what Abu Usaamah is bringing. But unfortunately, there is no fahm and no knowledge in his writings. Only aspects of confusion which perpetuate confusion. http://www.salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=14&Topic=1153

A Trait of Ahlul Bidah- They Pass Judgements in the Deen without Knowledge

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah ( rahimahullah ) said:

When it is the case that the (true) followers of the Prophets are people of knowledge and justice, then the speech of the people of Islaam and the Sunnah about the disbelievers and people of bidah is (carried out) with knowledge and justice and not with conjecture and the soul’s desire. And due to this, the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi wasallam) said: Judges are of three types, one of whom will go to Paradise and two to Hell. A man who knows the truth and judges with it will enter paradise; a man who knows the truth but judges with the opposite of it will enter the fire, and a man who judges for the people based on ignorance will enter the fire.’’ [Reported by Imaam Abu Dawud and others]

And when it is the case that the one who judges between the people in (affairs) of wealth, blood (i.e. murder cases, injury etc.) and honour will enter the hell fire if he is not a just scholar, then what about the one who passes judgements without knowledge-such being the case with ahlul bidah-on religions, the Usool of Imaan, affairs of knowledge related to Allaah, His Names, Attributes and Actions, and the lofty affairs of knowledge.’’

Abu Ibraheem (Husnayn) Recommends The Student of a Murji Mubtadi

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

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.

The False Principles of Ali Hasan Al-Halabi (The Innovator)

[1] Murad Al-Jazaa’iri and Abu Usaamah- [Two Obstinate Followers and Shelterers of Ahlul BIdah] – And the Verdict of Shaikh Rabee and Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi Against Them

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

The Followers of a Mubtadi

Al-Allaamah Zayd Bin Haadi al-Madhali (rahimahullaah) said:

The people of desires and misguidance are (categorized into) those who are followed and those who follow. Indeed, those who are followed are the ones who set up the various principles of innovation and call to their innovation and misguidance, and they will carry their burden of sins and the burden of the sins of those whom they misguided without knowledge, as it is clearly stated in the Qur’aan and the Sunnah.  As for the followers of a leader from amongst the people of desires, then in most cases they are of two categories:

The First Category: Those who possess knowledge, but they harbour evil intentions. So they yield to Satan, desires and the urge of the evil soul. They follow the people of misguidance and oppose the callers to guidance (in that which) Allaah sent His Messenger Muhammad (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) with.

The Second Category: Their share of knowledge is little, so the people of desires take advantage of them and they become (part) of their group. They convince them that what they call them to is the manifest truth and that what their opponents are upon is falsehood. And they convey to them a huge (number) of affairs that resemble the truth but are falsehood in reality, in order to deceive them and submerge them into misguidance.  [1] End of quote

So here we have both Murad and Goldie as staunch, persistent and vile shelterers of Ahlul Bidah. Murad utilizes every opportunity to defend Hajoori Al-haddaadi Al-Mubtadi and attacks those who unveil Al-Hajoori’s bidah and misguidance. On the other hand, Abu Usaamah is well known for his defense of Ali Al-Halabi Al-Murji al-Mubtadi and his attacks against Salafiyyoon.

And what is amazing is that even though Murad and Goldie are at loggerheads due to their divergent paths of misguidance, however the two innovators they shelter and defend (Al-Halabi and Al-hajoori) are united against the Mashaayikh, such as Shaikh Ubaid, Shaikh Rabee, Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi, Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadi, Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari and others. Rather Ali Al-Halabi al-Murji al-Mubtadi paid a visit to Yahya al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi al-Mubtadi. [2]

So these two innovators unite against the Mashaayikh of Ahlus Sunnah and their two followers (Goldie and Murad) are from the most zealous and obstinate in their defense of these two innovators. Murad and Goldie do the same dirty job, but they are at loggerheads. Murad hates Goldie because he believes that Goldie is a Hizbi and upon Tamyee, but on the other hand he is upon the path of Yahya Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi Al-Mubtadi. Al-Halabi, Goldie, Al-Hajoori and Murad are all upon misguidance and that is why Shaikh Rabee (may Allaah preserve him) and Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi 9rahimahullaah) have both issued their verdicts.

Shaikh Rabee (may Allaah preserve him) said: Al-Hajoori is more evil than the Haddaadiyyah and the ideas of the Kharijites have penetrated him and his followers. [3]

The Shaikh said about Murad Al-Jazaa’iri: ‘’Warn against Mourad Jaza’iree from Manchester: That he speaks ill of Shaikh Ubaid & Shaikh Bukhaaree & defends Hajooree.’’ [4]

As for Ali Al-Halabi, his affair is well known, for he innovated before Al-Hajoori and was declared a Mubtadi by Shaikh Rabee and others.

As for Abu Usama is not only well known for defending Al-Halabi Al-Murji Al-Mubtadi, but he is also well known for defending Abul Hasan Al-Maribi Al-Ikhwaani al-Mubtadi. Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi (rahimahullaah) was asked about Goldie:

Question: “O Shaykh Ahmad we have with us in America a man called Abu Usaamah who is considered to be from the Du’aat, he aids and supports Abul-Hasan and he calls some noble Salafi brothers ghulaat (extremists), muqallidah (blind followers), and muhqiboon (the people whose religion is the religion of the one they blindly follow), so what is the legislated position from this man and how should we deal with him?

Response:

موقفكم منه كموقفكم من أهل البدعة , أعرض عنه و اتركه

“Your position with him is the same as your position with the People of Innovation. Turn away from him and abandon him. [5]

And to this day the misguided and obstinate shelter of Al-Halabi (Goldie) and the misguided and obstinate shelterer of Al-Hajoor (Murad) have both continued upon their compound ignorance and blatant misguidance. So we leave them with the following statements of the Salaf as a reminder, so that the reader realizes the severity of what Murad and Goldie are upon. Murad supports and elevates Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi al-Mubtadi and Goldie supports and elevates al-Halabi Al-Murji Al-Mubtadi, but Imaam Sufyaan Bin Uyaynah (rahimahullaah) said:

”Every person of bidah is debased.” And he stated (concerning the statement of Allaah): [وَكَذَٲلِكَ نَجۡزِى ٱلۡمُفۡتَرِينَ- Thus do We recompense those who invent lies] that it (applies) to every inventor of lies and innovator (in the religion) until the day of judgement.” [Hilyatul Awliyaa 7/28]

Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (rahimahullaah) said: Had the innovator humbled himself to the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Prophet, he would not have followed his innovation; but he is amazed with his views, so he follows what he invented. [AdhTadzkirah Fil Wadh: page:97]

It is well known that both Al-Halabi and Al-Hahjoori are afflicted with self-amazement because they enter into issues above their level and end up innovating and they wage war against the Kibaarul Ulama who unveil their wicked innovations. However Murad and Goldie prefer to aid innovators, who are well known for their wicked innovations and slanders against the scholars of Ahlus Sunnah. We ask Allaah to guide them and their followers or protect us from their misguidance. Aameen.

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

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]

 

 

[I] Brother Muhammad Al-Maaliki’s Premeditated Fraudulent Claim to Leniency In The name of Defending Staunch Followers of Al-Maribi @ Masjid As-Sunnah, but claims that he is being oppressed and slandered!

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

In his defence of the obstinate hizbiyyoon of Masjid As-Sunnah, Muhammad Al-Maaliki utilised slander against Al-Markazus Salafi, and on the other hand he utilised emotional rhetoric in order to divert the attention of his listeners from the main issues [i.e. the basis of the dispute between Al-Markazus Salafi and Masjid As-Sunnah’s Admin for the past ten years is due to the Mubtadi’ah (Al-Maghraawi, Al-Maribi etc)]. Likewise, Muhammad sought to convince his listeners by mentioning a statement of truth but desiring falsehood by way of it. So in his defence of the staunch followers of the Mubtadi’ah at Masjid As-Sunnah, Muhammad stated that we need to know the way to defend the religion and that we have to utilize leniency.

Firstly: All praise is due to Allaah, the well-known Maraakiz of Salafiyyah in the West are well aware of some of those who deliberately ignore the detailed knowledge based clarifications of the scholars against the contemporary Mubtadi’ah (Al-Halabi, Al-Maghraawi, Al-Maribi, Al-Hajoori etc), whilst on the other hand they openly attack those who disseminate such refutations.

Secondly: Muhammad Al-Maaliki is terribly negligent with regards to his stances towards the stanch followers of Al-Maribi at Masjid As-Sunnah; rather he passionately defended them, whilst claiming that the way to defend the religion is by way of leniency! There is no doubt that leniency is an important affair, so let us first benefit from this statement of Imaam Shanqeeti (rahimahullaah), who stated: ‘’Harshness in a place where leniency should be is idiocy and an offence. Leniency in a place where harshness should be is weakness and apathy. If it is said: Apply leniency, say: Leniency should be in its place and the leniency of a young man in other than its place is ignorance.” [Al-Islaam Deenu Kaamilu pages 10-12]

How amazing was brother Muhammad’s implementation of leniency on that day?! He deliberately embarked upon a premeditated and fraudulent mission to defend the staunch followers of Al-Maribi at Masjid As-Sunnah after being well aware of the fact that some of the Kibaarul Ulama and the senior students of knowledge have studied the affairs in detail and written detailed unambiguous clarifications on the issues surrounding the innovator Al-Maribi and his staunch followers. And to make matters worse, he offered no evidence to support his stances; rather he terribly failed after seeking to bully and slander us-hoping that his aggressive behaviour would either silence us or compel us to accept his premeditated fraudulent appeals for leniency-all in the name of defending staunch followers of Al-Maribi at Masjid as-Sunnah. So be mindful of this trickery, as Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi (may Allaah preserve him) said:

”(You) find the likes of this lack of honesty today! There is that one who approaches two disputing parties-one group upon truth and the other upon falsehood; so he misguides all of them and does not give greater weight to the truth. He manifests a new doctrine which he considers to be the balance path, whilst it is falsehood and sophistry in and of itself. This category of people is a dangerous trend and their foundation is lying and deception.  [دحر إفتراءات ] [Footnote in page 191]

Shaikh Abul Abbaas Aadil Ibn Mansoor (may Allaah preserve him) said that Al’Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi (may Allaah preserve him) said:

If you are a weak believer, then do not betray your brother because betrayal is opposed to the characteristic of the Taa’ifatul Mansoorah (i.e. the aided and victorious group). And that is because to betray the person (upon) the truth returns (as) harm against the betrayer and the one affected by his (act) of betrayal. Do not make your weakness a methodology!   Do not make your weakness (a claim to) wisdom! Do not make your weakness (a claim) to common sense, cautiousness and hesitation (i.e. a claim of common sense, cautiousness and hesitation that cannot be justified when you are required to stand firm)… http://www.sahab.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=149391

Brother Muhammad deliberately ignored the knowledge based proofs, slandered Al-Markazus Salafi and passionately defended the staunch followers of Al-Maribi at Masjid As-Sunnah-all in the name of leniency! His claim to leniency in those circumstances was nothing else but a premeditated fraud by way of which he sought to vent his anger on Al-Markazus Salafi.

He deliberately turned a blind eye to the realities of Masjid As-Sunnah’s Masjid Admin; rather he deliberately allowed the Admin to blur his vision with false praise and utilised him to give out recommendation for them, and even for Goldie-a man whom Al-Allaamah Ahmad Bin Yahyah An-Najmi declared one to be treated the same as Ahlul Bidah. Brothers, let this be a serious reminder to all of us and be warned against exaggerated or false praise. Shaikh Raslaan (may Allaah preserve him) said about his father (rahimahullaah): ”You taught me that a rebuke of truth is more honorable for me than a praise of falsehood. And that the reproach of a truthful person is better for me than the praise of a liar.” Source: Dawaabit Ar-Riwaayatu Indal Muhadditheen: page: 7 vol: 1]

How amazing was Brother Muhammad’s affair on that day! The staunch followers of Al-Maribi at Masjid As-Sunnah praised him, and he deliberately allowed them to utilise him in their war against the Salafiyyoon of Al-Markazus Salafi-those same staunch followers of Al-Maribi, who openly declared their allegiance to an innovator and hatred for Shaikh Rabee- yet brother Muhammad has the audacity to claim that he is now being slandered and oppressed. And to this day- (over a 1000days) – he has not recanted from this behaviour nor has he apologised for slandering Al-Markazus Salafi. We ask Allaah for Sidq. Aameen.

To be continued…In-Shaa-Allaah
