An Unambiguous and Knowledge Based Clarification Regarding Woolwich Attacks- [By Ustaadh Abu Khadijah]; Always Applicable To Atrocities Perpetrated By Lone Wolves & Organised Terrorist Groups In The West- Whether Attributed To Radicalisation Or Extremism In The Name of Islaam
Abdur Rahmaan Bin Muljim and those with him started their plots to assasinate Ali, Mu’aawiyah and Amr Bin Aas (radiyallaahu-anhum) on the 17th of Ramadhaan. Subhaanallaah! This is a continued Sunnah [way or path] of the khawaarij. Many of those who look into history see that many of the (evil) deeds and plots of the Khawaarij are carried out in Ramadhaan. That is because in Ramadhaan the souls of the people are upon tranquillity and drawn towards obedience to Allaah, and the people do not think that anyone will attack them. [Paraphrased] Listen to audio below
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
In the Saheehayn (Bukhaari and Muslim) Aa’isha (radiyallaahu-anhaa) said: I have never seen the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam fast a complete month except Ramadhaan; and I have never seen him fast more in any other month than Shabaan (i.e. he used to fast a lot during shabaan but not the complete month because Ramadhaan was the only month he fasted completely).
Specifying Fasting On the Middle of Shabaan (15th)
Ibn Rajab mentioned in Lataa’if Al-Ma’aarif page 341 that Ibn Maajah narrated a hadeeth in which the Prophet said that when the 15th of Shabaan arrives, one should pray at night and fast during the day etc
This hadeeth is Mawdoo (fabricated) and in its chain of transmission is a man called Abu Bakr Abdullah Bin Muhammad -well known as [ابن أب بسرة ]. Imaam Ahmad and Ibn Ma’een said that he used to fabricate hadeeth.
So based on the above, it is not from the Sunnah to specify the middle (15th of Sha’baan) for fasting. And if specifying it for fasting is not a Sunnah, then it is a bidah. The Prophet said, ‘’Every bidah is misguidance.’’
The Virtues of the Night of 15th of Sha’baan
Shaikh Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) said that all the ahaadeeth regarding the virtues of the night of 15th of Sha’baan are week.
However, one can pray the night prayer (i.e. Tahajjud) on this night just as any other night, such as the common practice of a person who usually prays Tahajjud. He can pray on this night without specifying it with extra worship based on the belief that there is special virtue in doing so as opposed to other nights. If a person performs the Tahajjud (or night prayer) on this night only (i.e. out of belief that it is a special night), this is a bidah because there is nothing reported (authentic) that the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasalam) or his companions did so. The hadeeth reported in this regard is weak. Shaikh Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) said that all the Ahaadeeth narrated about this are fabricated.
The Belief That Allaah Decrees Everything That Will Happen During the Year on 15th Night of Sha’baan
We sent it (this Qur’an) down on a blessed night [(i.e. night of Qadr, Surah No: 97) in the month of Ramadan, the 9th month of the Islamic calendar]. Verily, We are ever warning [mankind that Our Torment will reach those who disbelieve in Our Oneness of Lordship and in Our Oneness of worship]. Therein (that night) is decreed every matter of ordainments. Amran (i.e. a Command or this Qur’an or the Decree of every matter) from Us. Verily, We are ever sending (the Messengers), (As) a Mercy from your Lord. Verily! He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower. [Surah Ad-Dukhan Aayaat 3-6]
Allaah (The Most High) said:
إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ
Verily! We have sent it (this Qur’an) down in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree) [Surah Al-Qadr.. Ayah 1]
So whoever claims that on the 15th night of Sha’baan is when Allaah decrees what will take place during the year, then he has opposed what is established in these Aayaat.
Cooking food for the poor and parents specially on the day of 15th of Sha’baan (i.e. as an act of worship)
This has no basis and specifying such acts on such a day is from the acts of bidah. The Prophet said: Every Bidah is misguidance.’’
Finally: The Shaikh (rahimahullaah) spoke about the perils of Bidah. We found a similar article (based on the speech of the Shaikh) already translated by the students at Salafipublications (may Allaah preserve them) on this link:
Abdul Azeez Bin Yahyah Bin Abdil Azeez Bin Muslim Bin Maymoon Al-Kinaaniy Al-Makkiy Al-Faqee (The jurist and scholar of sound understanding) Ash-Shaafi’ee [240AH] was from the scholars of Makkah; he wrote a treatise (titled) Al-Haydah.
He (rahimahullaah) stated in the beginning of the treatise:
It reached me whilst I was at Makkah (regarding) what Bishr Bin Ghiyaath Al-Mareesiy proclaimed at Baghdad that the Qur’aan is created and other than it- (propagating it by way) of propaganda to the people to agree with him and his school of thought; confused the leader of the believers Al-Ma’moon and his Awliyaa [governors, administrators, helpers in his administration etc] and the trial the people were subjected to; entering them into disbelief and misguidance; terrorising the people (i.e. the scholars) and made them afraid of arguing against him (i.e. Bishr); arguing against them (in order to stop them) from refuting him by way of that which will annihilate his speech (that the Qur’aan is created), invalidating his proofs and nullifying his school of thought; and that the believers were hiding themselves in their houses, refraining from the prayer in congregation and the Jumu’ah prayer; fleeing from one land to another out of fear for themselves and their religion; and that many of the ignorant ones and the rabble amongst the people were agreeing with his (i.e. Bishr’s) disbelief and misguidance; entering into bidah and adopting his school of thought out of a desire for the Dunyah and fear of the punishment that was afflicted on those who opposed his school of thought.
Then Abdul Azeez (rahimahullaah) said: My anxiety disturbed (my state of sleep) and my nights were that of sleeplessness; my thoughts abided (i.e. I never stopped thinking about the affair) and my distress and grief was prolonged; so I left my land (i.e. Makkah) whilst turning to Allaah (for aid and assistance); asking Him for safety and (for what I was seeking to) attain until I reach Baghdad. Then I witnessed the ruthlessness regarding the affair (i.e. the fitna at Baghdad), which was twice as much as what reached me (about it whilst I was at Makkah). So I sought refuge with Allaah, invoked Him, humbled myself to Him – out of a fervent desire to reach what is beloved and fleeing away from the cause of fear; humbling myself to Him (with the tears and trembling etc whilst beseeching Him for aid and assistance); stretching my hands to Him (in supplication), asking Him for guidance and to be directed towards good deeds; to be facilitated with the ability to carry out what I was seeking to achieve; to grant me support, look after me and neither to forsake me nor entrust me to myself. And that He facilitates my heart with understanding of His Book and (enable) my tongue to convey it; and that I purify my intention for sake of Allaah and entrust myself to Him; and that He (The Blessed and Most High) makes my responses (to Bishr) swift, strengthen my resolve, embolden my heart, facilitate my heart with understanding of His Book, make my tongue eloquent (upon truth) and gladden my heart (with guidance and acceptance) by way of it, so that I am given discernment in guidance through facilitating me with the ability to carry out (righteous deeds and in attaining what I want to achieve); and that I seek His assistance and help….up until the end of his speech… and how he attended in the presence of Al-Ma’moon, and how his debate took place during which he hindered Bishr from responding (with clear proofs) in everything he was obligated to (give a clear proof, which he could not do); so he (Abdul Azeez) titled the Risaalah (i.e. the one based on the debate with Bishr) ‘Al-Haydah.’
To be continued InShaaAllaah

Next Topic: How The Madhab of The Deviant Ashaa’irah and Philosophical Rhetoric Entered Makkah. You can read more about this deviant sect here: http://www.asharis.com/creed/index.cfm
Shaikh Firkoos (may Allaah preserve him) was asked about applying the term Shaikh’ to everyone who enters into the field of teaching, dawah etc
The Shaikh stated that a ‘Shaikh’ is everyone who has exceeded the age of 50 –above middle age and under old age….. As for a Shaikh in the affairs of knowledge, it is applied to everyone who is advanced in age and has gained a lot of experience in various sciences and is well acquainted with it. He is able to refute Shubuhaat and establish evidences, which manifests in his ability in affairs of knowledge, and the guidance and cultivation he gives the people. He is far removed from following desires and desiring what the people possess. So it is not allowed for a beginner student to be given this title in affairs of knowledge even if he has acquired some of the sciences or is a graduate from a university, or has memorized some of Sunan of the Prophet, or has certificates, recommendations etc listen to speech here: http://safeshare.tv/v/nypmxZZVDkA
[End of Paraphrased Excerpt]
So where are those foolish Hizbis who refer to some deviated youngster as ‘Shaikh’ when it is the case that neither has that deviant reached the age of 50 nor has any scholar referred to him as such. As for their deviated elders, then they are merely Shuyookh in age and not in knowledge because they are people of deviation and desires. We ask Allaah to protect us from carelessness and foolishness. Aameen
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
The Traits of An Innovator: Ali Al-Halabi’s Cutting off Speech, Playing About with it and Distorting it’s Meanings. Abu Usaamah himself said about Ali Al-Halabi – “ I am a supporter of Ali Hasan Al-Halabi. I support him. I support what he is upon.”1.
Ali Al-Halabi is known for his cutting off speech, adding to it and distorting it, in order to support his corrupt principles. An example of this which follows is his cutting from the speech of Imaam Abdur-Rahmaan As-Sa’di (rahimahullah). Here let us first present to the reader the original text from the Imaam himself, before any distortions were added by Al-Halabi. Once the reader acquaints himself with such trickery then this is in reality enough (a reason) to bring Al-Halabi down and warn against him!
A specimen of the complete speech of Imaam Sa’di from Ar-riyaad An-Naadhirah’ page 209 ^^^
من الغلط الفاحش الخطر قبول قول الناس بعضهم ببعض، ثم يبنى عليه السامع حبا أو بغضا، ومدحا وذما؛ فكم حصل بهذا الغلط من أمور صار عاقبتها الندامة، وكم أشاع الناس عن الناس أمورا لا حقيقة لها بالكلية، أو لها بعض الحقيقة فنميت بالكذب والزور، وخصوصا ممن عرفوا بعدم المبالاة بالنقل، أو عرف منهم الهوى.
فالواجب على العاقل التثبت والتحرز، وعدم التسرع.
وبهذا يعرف دين المرء ورزانته وعقله
Imaam as Sa’di (rahimahullah) said in the above that (slightly paraphrased) “from the repugnant dangerous mistakes is when people accept one another’s speech, then the one who hears that speech establishes love, hate, praise and dispraise based on that”. Then the Imaam further stated that “how many mistakes have been committed [through this behaviour] regarding affairs whose end result became a matter of regret?! And how many affairs have been spread by people from other people which are complete unreality?! Or it has some reality, so lies and falsehood are added to it, especially those known for not having concern regarding what they narrate, or known for following desires. Therefore, it is obligated on an ‘aaqil (a sensible person with sound reasoning and intellect) that he ascertains, takes precaution and not to be hasty. And by way of this, the religion of a person is known [i.e. the soundness of his path], his composure and ‘aql [sound reasoning or intellect]”
So the above statement is an example of that which was doctored by Al-Halabi purposely to suit his own agenda and methodology. Ali Al-Halabi transmitted a cut down version, in his book [Manhajus Salafus Saaleh’ 2nd Edition’ page 229] from the statement of Imaam Abdur-Rahmaan As-Sadi (rahimahullaah) as follows:
من الغلط الفاحش الخطر قبول قول الناس بعضهم ببعض، ثم يبنى عليه السامع حبا أو بغضا، ومدحا وذما؛ فكم حصل بهذا الغلط من
أمور صار عاقبتها الندامة، وكم أشاع الناس عن الناس أمورا لا حقيقة لها بالكلية،
فالواجب على العاقل التثبت والتحرز، وعدم التسرع.
وبهذا يعرف دين المرء ورزانته وعقله
Specimen of halabis doctored version
So based on the above version (transmitted by Al-Halabi Al-Mubtadi), it means that the Imaam said “from the repugnant dangerous mistakes is when people accept one another’s speech, then the one who hears that speech establishes love, hate, praise and dispraise based on that”; then he [Halabi] went on to complete it with “how many mistakes have been committed (through this behaviour) regarding affairs whose end result became a matter of regret?! And how many affairs have been spread by people from other people which are a complete unreality?! Therefore, it is obligated on an aaqil (i.e. a sensible person of intellect) that he ascertains, takes precaution and not to be hasty. And by way of this, the religion of a person is known (i.e. soundness of his path), his composure and aql (sound reasoning or intellect).
After Ali Al-Halabi transmitted this statement, he commented, saying: “Be careful, may Allaah protect you; the Shaikh (i.e. Imaam Sadi) did not distinguish in this warning regarding accepting from a thiqah (a reliable person) and ghayr thiqah (an unreliable person)! Indicating to the mistake that may occur even from a reliable person; and the مفاسد (corrupt affairs), محن (adversities, trials ordeals etc), بلاء (affliction) and إحن (enmity, rancour, malice arises from some affair) that results from it. (See specimen on next page)
Specimen of Halabis comments
Dear Reader take note! Halabi purposely cut out from the speech of Imaam As-Sadi in order to confuse the reader. The principle utilised by ahlus-Sunnah is that we accept the news given by the one who is thiqah (the trustworthy, reliable person) without the need to verify or check the statement. Halabi wants to distort and change this principle and so purposely omits the following sentence:
[و لها بعض الحقيقة فنميت بالكذب والزور، وخصوصا ممن عرفوا بعدم المبالاة بالنقل، أو عرف منهم الهوى –
“Or it has some reality, so lies and falsehood are added to it, especially those known for not having concern regarding what they narrate, or known for following desires.”
So why is it omitted? Because if he were to include the full statement, it would no longer give credence to his own innovated principle of “having to verify from everyone – thiq’a (trustworthy) or ghayr thiq’a (non trustworthy)”. Furthermore he makes manifest his own innovated principle, as part of his notes, in order to pollute the reader’s thinking into holding that you “must check and verify the statements of a thiqa’ person”, in the same way you must verify one who isn’t thiqa’. This is in contradiction to even how Imaam as-Sa’di(rahimahullah) presented it, as he was making clear to the reader to beware those who are untrustworthy-not trustworthy.
So let us see what Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah) stated regarding the news given by a faasiq (open sinner) and a truthful person. Allaah (The Most High) said: “O you who believe! If a faasiq comes to you with news, verify it.”
Imaam Sadi commented on this ayah saying:
“This is also from the etiquettes expected from those of understanding to adorn themselves with and implement. And that when a faasiq informs them of some news, they [should] verify the news he transmits (to them) and don’t just simply accept it; for indeed there is a grave danger in that and [risk] of falling into sin. Because if his news is made the same as that of a truthful upright person, the decision is made in accordance with that and what it necessitates. Then lost of lives and wealth occurs without due right due to that information, resulting in regret.
Rather what it is obligatory is that when a faasiq transmits news, it is verified and clarified. If the proofs and supporting factors affirm his truthfulness, it is acted upon and believed. And if they indicate to falsehood, it is declared false and not acted upon.
So in this is a proof that the news [transmitted by] the truthful one is accepted and the news from the liar rejected, while the news from a faasiq is (temporarily) suspended as we have mentioned, and that is why the Salaf would accept narrations from many of those (particular) khawaarij who were well known to be truthful, even if they were wicked sinners.”
Abu Usaamah’s Similar deceitful, cutting, pasting & doctoring to suit his own agenda- Live on stage! A Mirror of the Above from Halabi…
In 2010 Abu Usaamah ad-Dhahabi carried out a similar action, whereby he added to the words of Shaikh Sadlaan during a tele-link. This is an imitation of his mubtadi Shaykh Ali Al Halabi—about whom Abu Usamah himself said (in his feeble video defence when ending up in the wrong masjid):
I am a supporter of Ali Hasan Al-Halabi. I support him. I support what he is upon. His mistakes we put that aside. I say that in public and I say that in private.
Ustaadh Abdulilah Lahmami (may Allaah preserve him) caught him at the time, writing:
“Then Abu Usama Khalifah added in the translation that Sheikh Rabee’ should stop “cursing the dead people… “Due to a hadeeth of the Prophet salallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam mentioning this. This addition was not mentioned by Sheikh Sadlan in the Arabic so take note.”
So once again, Abu Usaamah was caught out, adding to the speech of the Shaykh in order to cause confusion, and fitnah; and spread rancour in the hearts of the people toward Shaykh Rabee’ (hafidhahullah)- and this due to nothing except, that which burns inside him, against the noble Shaykh; and the Salafis as a whole. Ustaadh Abdulilah (may Allaah preserve him) also said:
“After visiting Sheikh Rabee’ ibn Haadi Al-Madkhali this weekend, he added that one should clarify to the people that he does not curse the dead (as Abu Usama khalifah added) and likewise to make mention that the scholars have always refuted the errors of those who have erred. Likewise, these refutations are a mercy for the dead so that people don’t follow them in their errors.’’2
Here we remind you again the statement of Shaikh Muhammad Baazmool: “And whenever you find the statement of a muhaqqiq scholar being utilized as proof by a person of bid’ah and falsehood in seeking to establish his falsehood; and you refer that statement back to its original source- you will not find except that this (person of falsehood) did cut off and separate some part of it from another part.’’3
And so we can see that the bid’ee Abu Usaamah is just a mirror of his innovator Shaykh Ali Hassan Al-Halabi. There is no difference in their methodology! This is affirmed by Abu Usaamah ad-Dhahabi’s own statements as quoted before; as well as his actions, wherein both have been caught twisting speech of the Scholars of truth and Sunnah, in order to suit their agenda and ideology that they want to promote.
It is important that the noble reader is made aware of such sneaky trickery, lest they be taken in by their speech, and be taken astray, and with Allah is the success.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
In his deceptive response to the Friday incident at al-Markazus Salafi, the Bid’ee attacked our beloved teachers, elders and brothers at SP, as usual accusing them of Ghuloo. We have already replied to the Bid’ee’s slander that we are upon a bidah principle –[Link: http://www.salaficentre.com/2016/04/8-a-series-in-response-to-abu-usaamas-habitual-deceitfulness-motivated-by-deep-malice-he-made-a-fruitless-and-desperate-attempt-to-prove-that-we-follow-a-shaikh-who-is-upon-bidah/] and now we will briefly make known why the Bid’ee hates the students and elders at SP.
Indeed, the malice and hatred harboured by the Bid’ee against the Salafiyoon at SP is due to nothing else other than the fact that they repel his lowly desires and corrupt hizbi ambitions. Shaikh Shamsuddeen Al-Afghani (rahimahullaah) said: ”Ahlul Bidah are the ones who kindle trials and disorder. They are a chaotic people and are deprived of safety and security. They are a people of trials and disturbance as opposed to Ahlul Hadeeth Was-Sunan (i.e. those who steadfastly follow the ahaadeeth of the Prophet and his Sunnah). Have they (i.e. the people of Sunnah) committed what the people of bidah and trials have committed?! The people of bidah trespass- alongside enmity and innovation- whilst Ahlus Sunnah respond and defend (the religion)”. [Source: عداء الماتريدية للعقيدة السلفية 1/26-27]
The Bid’ee cannot come to terms with the fact that SP – by the Mercy and Tawfeeq of Allaah- have remained steadfast, neither compromising with Mubtadi’ah nor their obstinate followers; rather they continue to transmit the sound Aqeedah and Manhaj from the scholars. He cannot come to terms with the fact his continued public stunts -in order to slander SP- has always met failure. And among those incidents was Shaikh Wasiyullah’s first visited to the Uk, Shaikh Sadlaan’s visit, the different attempts to entice speakers from Saudi, such as Dr Ali Shibl to beautify Greenlane’s ugly affair etc. All these public stunts failed miserably because SP held onto the sound Manhaj positions, for regardless who visits Greenlane’s Admin or speaks good of them, their hizbiyyah still manifests itself like the midday sun. How can an Admin that cooperate with the people of Bidah [at Ihyaa at-Turaath, al-Maghrib Institute and other deviants] be benefitted by any praise?! A person is judged based on what he is upon, so listen to the clarification here: http://safeshare.tv/v/bWPR3Eacn4k
SP did not compromise with anyone, but the Bid’ee compromised and thus ended up in the fitnah of the Mubtadi’ah, the people of Bidah, the hizbiyyoon, the Mu’mayyi’oon – be it Al-Halabi, Al-Maribi, Ihyaa at-Turaath etc Rather, the Bid’ee has even defended Ismaeel Menk – a deobandi. See refutation of Ismaaeel-Menk:http://www.salaficentre.com/2014/01/who-is-mufti-menk/http://safeshare.tv/v/ss570a54c03bd31
The Bid’ee beautifies the filth of these people of bidah; yet SP are the Ghulaat! This is the despicable opinion of this spiteful transgressor against those who are foremost in bringing clarity in the West, and continue to do so by the permission and Tawfeeq of Allaah (The Most High). These are the Ghulaat, according to Abu Usaama, because they expose his lowly desires, repel his crimes against the Salafi Manhaj and unveil the malicious insinuations of his mentors. None trusts or entertains this spiteful transgressor except those who employ him at Greenlane to do their dirty job or those who are unaware of his true state of affairs. As for his unsuspecting followers, there is nothing that describes his relationship with them better than the saying: ‘’The trust of the innocent is the liar’s most useful tool.’’
As for the Salafiyyoon, he attempts to stab them with his bidah, deceptions and doubts, but when caught he cuts himself – bleeding and playing the victim game. This is why whenever he seeks to deceive and gets caught, he screams ‘the Ghulaat!’ This behaviour is nothing else but a painful manifestation of frustration because the Salafiyyoon already know that his lies and deceptions are underpinned by an unquestionable acquaintance with the truth he wishes to hide or distort.
The Salafiyyoon know that his perverse and strong desire to slander them is underpinned by nothing else but unjustified vengeance – stop destroying my plots against the sound Manhaj positions or else I will slander you!!! This is what his actions and statements necessitate; so if what he hides is worse than what he manifests- and only Allaah knows this- then may Allaah open his heart to guidance or give the spiteful transgressor what he deserves. Aameen
The Manhaj of SP is clear and there are no ambiguities in the affair, so ask yourselves the following questions:
*Does Abu Khadeejah, Abu Hakeem and Maktabah Salafiyyah defend or co-operate with a single Mubtadi? No indeed; rather it is the bid’ee who promotes Mubtadiah!
*Do they have any links with a single Mubtadi or an organization that defends Mubtadi’ah? Do they co-operate with the Jamaa’aat Siyaasiyah or those who co-operate with such Jamaa’aat? No indeed; rather it is the Bid’ee who cooperates with Ihyaa at-Turaath, Al-Maghrib Institute and others!
*Do they co-operate with ahlul bidah wal-ahwaa or anyone associated with them? No indeed; rather it is the bid’ee who promotes and defends the deobandi Ismaaeel Menk!
*Do they promote the innovated principles of Hasan Al-Banna and Ikhwaan al muslimeen, or associate with anyone who does so? No indeed; rather it is Bid’ee who praises al-Maribi (an upholder of ikhwaani principles)!
*Do they uphold the false Manhaj of Muwaazanah or associate with anyone who promotes such false principles? No indeed; rather it is the Bid’ee who praises Al-Maribi (an upholder of Muwaazanaat)!
*Do they defend Sayyid Qutb or co-operate with anyone who defends him? No indeed; rather it is the Bid’ee who sits with Ihyaa at-Turaath (sympathisers of Sayyid)!
*Do they endorse the false principles: “We do not disparage but we only correct mistakes’’ and “Let’s not make our differing about someone else a reason for differing among ourselves?’’ No indeed; rather it is the Bid’ee who defends and supports Ali al-Halabi (an upholder of these false principles)!
*Do they make a differentiation between Aqeedah and Manhaj when the scholars pass judgements against the people of bidah, or do they have a link with anyone who calls to these false principles? No indeed; rather their websites are filled with clarifications regarding this important affair!
*Do they hold the false view that the Salaf differed in Aqeedah, or do they have a link with anyone who holds this false view? No indeed; they have no link with any of these people!
*Do they revile the Sahaabah and defend those who call them Ghuthaa-iyyah, or co-operate with anyone who defends such people? No indeed; rather it is the Bid’ee who praises al Maribi (the innovator of this speech)!
*Do they utilise innovated principles in order to place the misguided sects, parties and organizations into the arena of ahlus Sunnah, or do they co-operate with anyone who deliberately utilises such false principles? No indeed; rather it is the Bid’ee who praises al-Maribi (an upholder of this calamity)!
*Do they utilise the principles of the contemporary Mubtadi’ah, such as Ali Al-Halabi, Abul Hasan al-Maribi, Muhammad Al-Maghraawi, Yahyah al-Hajoori and others similar to them, or do they co-operate with anyone who defends these Mubtadi’ah after being well aware of the unambiguous knowledge based refutations against them? No indeed; rather they refute all these Mubtadi’ah!
*Do they praise Ahmad Raza Khan Brelvi, or was it Abdul Haadi who praised Him? No indeed; rather they refute those who shelter the people who uttered such falsehood!
Indeed, it is not SP who commit crimes against the Salafi Manhaj, rather it is the Bid’ee and his associates who are guilty of it. We remind ourselves once again; Shaikh Shamsuddeen Al-Afghani (rahimahullaah) said: Ahlul Bidah are the ones who kindle trials and disorder. They are a chaotic people and are deprived of safety and security. They are a people of trials and disturbance as opposed to Ahlul Hadeeth Was-Sunan (i.e. those who steadfastly follow the ahaadeeth of the Prophet and his Sunnah). Have they (i.e. the people of Sunnah) committed what the people of bidah and trials have committed?! The people of bidah trespass- alongside enmity and innovation- whilst Ahlus Sunnah respond and defend (the religion). [Source: عداء الماتريدية للعقيدة السلفية 1/26-27]
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Firstly: The Salafiyyoon have witnessed the fact that Abu Usaama is a foul mouthed bid’ee and they have not allowed him to drag them to his level. The one with truth is not in need of such filth; rather such behaviour is a clear manifestation and expression of his weak intellect. He is a very frustrated bid’ee because whenever he attempts deceit, the Salafiyyoon expose him. Therefore, unless he starts accepting responsibility for his actions and sincerely accepts the fact that every single valid criticism against him is due to his actions, it will prove very difficult to repel that big ego by way which shaytaan makes him feel safe behind a wall of lies.
Secondly: Besides the fact that he is a foul mouthed bid’ee, he also goes into extremes in seeking to prove himself trustworthy, even though deception is his second skin. So whilst attempting to prove his trustworthiness, Abu Usaamah invokes the curse of Allaah against himself and his children! In 2004, he made an invocation that if he is lying, may Allaah curse him and his children, and cause them to die outside the fold of Islaam. He uttered this statement whilst seeking to make recantations (as he claimed); but since then his affair has become worse; for at present he openly cooperates with the worst of the hizbiyyoon – Ihyaa at- Turaath, Greenlane Masjid and their allies at al-Maghrib Institute.
So all that drama in 2004 to prove his truthfulness has shown no truthful actions regarding his stance towards the Mubtadi Al-Maribi, rather he has only increased in transgression- from finding excuses for the Ikhwani Mubtadi Al-Maribi, to finding excuses for the Murji Mubtadi Ali Al-Halabi and cooperating with the innovators of Ihyaa at-Turaath. This is his state of affairs in 2016 after invoking the curse of Allaah against himself and his children in 2004.
However, it is manifestly clear that he has not learnt a lesson, for recently he invoked the same curse again. He is solely responsible for his own deeds; so why include his children in such evil! He was the one who chose to defend Mubtadi’ah and was refuted, so why not take the responsibility on his own?
Thirdly: Do we see the scholars -[Shaikh Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz, Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen, Shaikh Albaani, Shaikh Fawzaan, Shaikh Rabee, Shaikh Ubaid, Shaikh Abdul Muhsin, Shaikh Abdul Azeez Aala Shaikh, Shaikh Luhaydaan, Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadi and others]- behaving in this manner?! No indeed!
Finally: Perhaps Abu Usaamah is so overwhelmed by his bidah that he is extremely oblivious of the evil he invokes against his children in order to prove the unprovable. We thought that by now his unsuspecting followers would have realised the foolishness of this man. Indeed, he is not absolved of accountability, unless it is known that he is mentally unstable. His desperate attempts at enforcing his rejection of the truth by invoking curses against his children will neither solve his problems nor cancel the unambiguous proofs against him. How foolish, idiotic, short-sighted and evil of a man who knows that he is upon falsehood and is an established liar, yet he invokes the curse of Allaah against his children in order to prove his fraudulent stances. He should solely bear the burden of his crimes. We ask Allaah to protect his children. Aameen.
Deceitfully Refraining from Explaining and Stating the Scholarly Restrictions Regarding the Principle: “Whoever does not make Tabdee of Mubtadi is a Mubtadi”
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
In his deceptive reply to the Friday incident at Al-Markazus Salafi, the man of bidah mentioned a principle by way of which he sought to establish yet again a trick utilised by ahlul bidah- narrating only what benefits him -(and this time he referred to a principle and refrained from explaining it, whilst passing a verdict against us); whereas the Salafiyyoon narrate what is for them and against. Indeed, it is well known that Abu Usaamah and his allies amongst the Mu’mayyi’ah are famous for utilising general statements, especially regarding some affairs that have been detailed, explained and clarified by the scholars in order to show the falsehood of the Haddaadiyyah and Mu’mayyi’ah, and the sound stance of Ahlus Sunnah.
Abu Usaama stated that we declared him a Mubtadi simply because he does not declare Al-Maribi a Mubtadi, and this, according to Abu Usaamah, is a bidah we are upon – because we declared him a Mubtadi solely due to the fact that he does not declare al-Maribi a Mubtadi.
Firstly: We do not know a single Salafi who preceded any Salafi scholar in declaring Abu Usaama a man of bidah; rather his affair was made known to Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi (rahimahullaah).
Secondly: Once again, as it is well known of him, he deliberately sought to conceal the knowledge base clarification regarding this affair in order to deceitfully slander Salafiyyoon, just as he attempted to conceal, lie and distort whilst seeking to slander Shaikh Rabee and Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah in the past.
Thirdly: Indeed, what Abu Usaama sought to conceal from his unsuspecting followers will be revealed as follows In-Shaa-Allaah. Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadi (may Allaah preserve him) was asked:
Question: The principle: ‘whoever does not declare an innovator as an innovation, he (himself) is an innovator; some people say that this principle is strange; (or alien to Salafiyyah);
Shaikh Rabee [may Allaah preserve him] stated:
It is not correct to apply this principle unrestrictedly because it maybe that he is unaware of the Bidah committed by that person, therefore he refrains from declaring him an innovator due to Wara [apprehensive fear]. [1] Why should you declare him an innovator? [i.e. why should you declare him an innovator when it is the case that he is unaware of the bidah of that Mubtadi or refrains from making Tabdee out of apprehensive fear].
But if he knows the innovator, [i.e. knows that such a person is upon bidah due to which the evidence was established against him], loves him and allies with him, then he is a Mubtadi. This is the distinction in this affair – he knows that that person is a Mubtadi but he aids him and wages war against Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaa’ah, then he is a mubtadi without a doubt. As for a person who does not know that such and such person is a Mubtadi, he is not to be declared an innovator.
[As for] you [i.e. the scholar or student of knowledge who is qualified to make Tabdee] – the one who studied the affair of [that person] and you know that he allies with a Mubtadi, puts him in a favourable position, wages war against Ahlus Sunnah for the sake of that Mubtadi and for the sake of this falsehood, this person is a Mubtadi; misguided.
As for the person who does not know that indeed such and such person is a mubtadi, then advise him and clarify for him [i.e. with clear unambiguous proofs until he understands] that such person is a mubtadi. So unless he ceases [i.e. refrains from defending this mubtadi after understanding the evidences], then put him with his companion – the mubtadi. [Source: Awnul Baari 2/891..slightly paraphrased & abridged]
The Shaikh answered:Finally: This is what Abu Usama sought to conceal in order to deceive his listeners that he was declared a man of Bidah merely based on the fact that he refuses to make Tabdee of Al-Maribi. So his unsuspecting listeners should be made aware of the fact that he deliberately refrained from explaining this principle as well as the fact that we did not precede Shaikh Ahmad (rahimahullaah), nor do we intend to precede the scholars (In-Shaa-Allaah) in declaring him or anyone else a man of bidah and misguidance. However, manipulation, concealment, lies and deception became Abu Usaama’s second skin since when he started defending Mubtadi’ah and cannot argue with the Salafiyyoon based on any evidence; rather deception is what appeals to him but not the truth.
We ask Allaah for Ikhlaas, Thabaat and Husnul Khaatimah. Aameen
