Those Who Embarked Upon The Stratagem of The Khawaarij, The Rawaafid, the Mutazilah And Jahmiyyah – [Sayyid Qutb And His Ilk]

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

Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadi [may Allaah preserve him] said:

The political parties [or groups] emerged in this era [whilst] affected- to some extent- by the creed and methodologies of [the khawaarij]. And for this reason they do not give importance to [other affairs] besides politics. Neither do they give any concern to rectifying the situation of the Ummah though [sound] Creed and Knowledge nor do reflect upon [the affair about] returning the Ummah to the Book, the [authentic] Sunnah, and the piety and steadfastness the Salafus Saaleh were upon in every aspect of the Religion. Rather they [i.e. these political parties (or groups)] increase the Ummah in corruption upon corruption-in creed and manners. So, you see them giving allegiance to the people of Bidah and Misguidance; waging war against the people who [truly] follow the Qur’aan and the Sunnah, and the scholars [i.e. waging war against those scholars who truly adhere to the Qur’aan and the Sunnah].

They erect false objectives and  slogans for Ahlul Bidah Wad-Dalaalah [the people of Bidah and Misguidance] and their books; and amongst them [i.e. these people of bidah] are Sayyid Qutb and his followers – the one [i.e. Sayyid Qutub] who embark upon the stratagem of the Khawaarij, the Rawaafid, the Mu’tazilah and the Jahmiyyah in creed, methodology and politics; especially in the subject matter of Takfeer based on oppression and ignorance [i.e. he make Takfeer based on ignorance and oppression]. According to him all human societies are societies of Pre-Islamic ignorance and the Muslim Ummah is the severest in its apostasy and Pre-Islamic state of ignorance. Thereafter, the path of the Baatiniyyah was added to this [methodology of his, such] as assassinations, blowing up [buildings, people etc]. Then his followers attribute themselves to the Salafi Methodology based on a mighty plot against the [true, upright] leaders [of the Salafi Methodology].

[Therefore], when you come to know this, you will know that the Salafi Methodology is free from this [type] of Takfeer, and destruction; and you will know who the treacherous people are. If you know this, then it is tantamount to an act of manifest oppression when the Raafidah, the Secularists and Rationalists attribute [terrorist acts], [false] Takfeer and destruction to the Salafi Methodology. [An Excerpt from Shaikh Rabee’s Book Titled: (من هم الإرهابيون) pages 104-105. slightly paraphrased]

Is It Necessary to Mention The Names of The Deviants When Refuting?!

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Pearls of Wisdom, Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question to Al-‘Allâmah Ahmad bin Yahyā An-Najmī (rahimahullaah): This question states: What is your view of the one who warns against bid’ah and innovators in general but does not hold that names are to be mentioned?

Answer: When something happened the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) used to say: “What is wrong with a people (who did or say such and such)?! This is correct; but is this said about the leaders of misguidance – those who call the people to affairs of misguidance and the people are put to trial through them; is this said about them? No, these ones must be mentioned; they must be made known and they must be known, so that the people are cautious about them. As for us keeping quiet about them and saying: “No, we do not mention their names; we neither say Sayyid Qutb nor Hasan al-Banna, neither such and such person nor such and such person”; then with respect to the one who utters this statement, for example: If we were to warn against the people of bid’ah, who will be able to say that it is other than these people….these (people) are the leaders of ahlul bid’ah.

Shaikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan [hafidhahullaah] said: The principle related to this [i.e. mentioning names] is about warning against mistakes and deviation, after identifying it as such. If the affair requires making known the name of an individual among the obstinate opponents so that beguilement does not occur through their [affair] – especially those individuals with deviated views or deviation in behavior and methodology, and they are well known among the people and the people have a good opinion of them- then there is no harm in mentioning them by their names and their methodology warned against.

The scholars carry out research in the science of Jarh Wat-Tadeel [criticism and praise] and then mention the narrators and the reproach stated against them. This is not [done] for the purpose of personal [criticism]; rather it is [done] for the purpose to giving advice to the Ummah in case they come across affairs from these individuals that are harmful to the Religion or lies against the Messenger [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam].

Therefore, first and foremost, this principle is about warning against mistakes. However, the one who committed such mistake(s) is not to be mentioned if that would either lead to greater harm or if there is no benefit in mentioning him. However, if the affair requires that his name be made known for the purpose of warning the people against his methodology, then this is [considered] to be sincerity to Allaah, His Book, His Messenger, to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk, especially if he [i.e. the one warned against] is active within the people and they have a good opinion of him, and acquire his books and tapes. Then there has to be clarification and the people must be warned, because [employing] silence will be harmful to the people. His affair has to be unveiled, but not for the purpose of defamation or following one’s desires [in that]; rather it has to be [done] for the purpose of sincerity to Allaah, His Book, His Messenger, the leaders of the Muslims and their common people.

Who Does More Wrong Than One Who Utters a Lie Against Allaah, And Denies The Truth When It Comes to Him!

Allaah (The Most High) said:

فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ كَذَبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَذَّبَ بِالصِّدْقِ إِذْ جَاءَهُ أَلَيْسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِلْكَافِرِينَ

Then, who does more wrong than one who utters a lie against Allah, and denies the truth [this Qur’an, the Prophet (Muhammad ), the Islamic Monotheism, the Resurrection and the reward or punishment according to good or evil deeds] when it comes to him! Is there not in Hell an abode for the disbelievers? [Soorah Zumar: Ayah:32]

There is none that is more oppressive than the one who fabricates a lie against Allaah by attributing to him that which is not befitting for him, like setting up partners along with him and attributing to him a son or he says I have received revelation and absolutely nothing was revealed to him. And there is none that is more oppressive than the one who rejects the truth that which has been revealed to Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم . Is not the fire a final abode and a dwelling place for those who disbelieve in Allaah and those who do not believe in Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and they do not act according to what he came with; certainly it is! [Source: Tafseer Muyassar, with the supervision of Shaikh Saaleh Aala Shaikh]

One of The Perils of Worship Based On Ignorance!

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Betower of Mercy.

Ibnul Qaasim [rahimahullaah] said: I heard Maalik [i.e. Imaam Maalik (rahimahullaah)] saying: “Indeed a people sought after the path of worship and abandoned knowledge, so they rebelled against the Ummah of Muhammad [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] with their swords [i.e. khawaarij]. And had they sought the means to [acquiring] knowledge [first], they would have been prevented from that [rebellion]”. [Miftaah Daarus Sa’aadah 1/392]

Four Types of Diseases: [Shub’hah, Shak, Shahwa and Ghay]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam.

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

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [rahimahullaah] said: There are two types of diseases: Disease of the heart and disease of the body, and both have been mentioned in the Qur’aan. The disease of the heart are two types: [a] The disease of Shubhah [i.e. an affair of falsehood that is made to resemble truth] and Shak [i.e. doubt]. [b] The disease of Shahwah [i.e. evil or vain desires or lewd conduct] and Ghay [i.e. deviation from the right path].  Both of them have been mentioned in the Qur’aan. Allaah [The Most High] stated regarding the disease of Shubhah: [   فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ اللَّهُ مَرَضًا -In their hearts is a disease [of doubt and hypocrisy] and Allah has increased their disease. [2:10]

Allaah [The Most High] said: [وَلِيَقُولَ الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَالْكَافِرُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًا ۚ – And that those in whose hearts is a disease [of hypocrisy] and the disbelievers may say: “What Allah intends by this (curious) example?] [74:31]

And Allaah [The Most High] stated about the one who is called to judge by the Qur’aan and the Sunnah, but he refuses and turns away:

 وَإِذَا دُعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِذَا فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ

وَإِن يَكُن لَّهُمُ الْحَقُّ يَأْتُوا إِلَيْهِ مُذْعِنِينَ

أَفِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ أَمِ ارْتَابُوا أَمْ يَخَافُونَ أَن يَحِيفَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَرَسُولُهُ ۚ بَلْ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

And when they are called to Allah (i.e. His Words, the Qur’an) and His Messenger to judge between them, lo! a party of them refuse (to come) and turn away. But if the right is with them, they come to him willingly with submission. Is there a disease in their hearts? Or do they doubt or fear lest Allah and His Messenger should wrong them in judgement. Nay, it is they themselves who are the Zalimun (polytheists, hypocrites and wrong-doers, etc.).[24:48-50] This is the disease of Shubhah [i.e. an affair of falsehood that is made to resemble truth] and Shak [i.e. doubt].

 As for the disease of Shahwa [evil desires], Allaah [The Most High] said: [يَا نِسَاءَ النَّبِيِّ لَسْتُنَّ كَأَحَدٍ مِّنَ النِّسَاءِ ۚ إِنِ اتَّقَيْتُنَّ فَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِالْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ الَّذِي فِي قَلْبِهِ مَرَضٌ – O wives of the Prophet! You are not like any other women. If you keep your duty (to Allah), then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease [i.e. evil desire for adultery, etc.] should be moved with desire, but speak in an honourable manner.” [Ahzaab: Ayah:32]  This is the disease of the evil desire for adultery, and Allaah knows best.

As for the diseases of the body, Allaah [The Most High] said: [لَّيۡسَ عَلَى ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ حَرَجٌ۬ وَلَا عَلَى ٱلۡأَعۡرَجِ حَرَجٌ۬ وَلَا عَلَى ٱلۡمَرِيضِ حَرَجٌ۬ – There is no restriction on the blind, nor any restriction on the lame, nor any restriction on the sick….. [24:61]

Allaah mentioned the diseases of the body when He [The Most High] spoke about Hajj, Fasting and Ablution due to a marvellous underlying reason – a reason that will reveal to you the Greatness of the Qur’aan and suffices the one who understands it. The principles of physical medicine are three: preservation of health, protecting [the body] from what might cause harm and removal of harmful substances [from the body]; and Allaah [Glorified be He and free is He from all imperfections] mentioned these three principles in those three places [i.e. when He (The Most High) spoke about Hajj, Fasting and Ablution)] [Ref 1]

Imaam As-Sadi [rahimahullaah] said: Allaah (The Most High) said: [فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ -In their hearts is a disease]. [Surah Ayah: 10 Soorah Al-Baqarah]- What is intended by disease here is: The disease of doubt, the disease of Shubuhaat [i.e. affairs that resemble truth but are falsehood in reality] and the disease of hypocrisy. That is because the heart is exposed to two (types) of diseases that takes it away from well-being and uprightness- the disease of shubuhaat and the disease of lowly destructive desires. Disbelief, hypocrisy, doubts and bidah are all from the disease of Shubuhaat. Fornication, love of lewd acts, disobedience and committing them are from the disease of lowly desires. [Ref 2]

Allaah [The Most High] said: [وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ مَا هُوَ شِفَآءٌ۬ وَرَحۡمَةٌ۬ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ‌ۙ – And We send down from the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism and act on it)]. [Soorah Al-Israa: Ayah 82]

Imaam Ibnul Jawzi (rahimahullaah) said: There are three statements (of the scholars) regarding the Qur’aan being a healing: [a] It is a healing for misguidance due to what it contains of guidance; [b] It is healing for illnesses due to what it contains of blessings; [c] It is healing due to its explanation and clarification of the obligatory duties and rulings of the religion. [Ref 3]

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said: The Qur’aan is a healing for the hearts for the diseases of ignorance, doubt and scepticism.  Allaah (The Most High) has never revealed a cure that is neither more comprehensive and beneficial; nor greater and quicker in removing diseases than the Qur’aan.’’ [Ref 4]

Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah) said: The healing that the Qur’aan contains covers all [diseases] of the hearts, such the disease of Shubhah [(i.e. an affair that is made to resemble truth but is falsehood in reality], ignorance, corrupt views, perversion and evil aims; for indeed the Qur’aan is gathered upon ‘Al-Ilm Al-Yaqeenee [i.e. Knowledge based on Absolute Certainty’ by way of which every Shubhah and affair of ignorance is removed, and it contains an admonition and a reminder by way of which every desire that is in opposition to the command of Allaah is removed]. And it is a healing for the bodies against what is harmful to them and its illnesses. As for it being a Mercy, it is due to the Asbaab [i.e. sound means] and Wasaa-il [i.e. paths, ways] it guides to, which if the slave [i.e. person] acts upon them, he (or she) will be successful (in receiving Allaah’s) Mercy and an everlasting happiness-reward in this worldly life and everlasting reward in the Hereafter.  [Ref 5]

Imaam Shanqeeti (rahimahullaah) said: It (i.e. the Qur’aan) combines healing for the diseases of the heart, such as doubt, hypocrisy and other than that. It is a healing for the bodies when utilised for ruqya, such as what took place in the story of the man who performed ruqya with Soorah Faatihah on a man who was stung and it is an authentic and famous story….

An Obstacle to Knowledge: [When The Young Ones Overstate Their Status And Cut Off People From The Scholars]

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam.

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

One of the obstacles that prevents people from knowledge is [when they] turn to the knowledge of the Asaaghir [the small ones] – and Allaah’s refuge is sought. And from the [minor] signs of the hour [i.e. the day of judgement] is that knowledge will be acquired from the young in age, who learn very little and thus considers himself an Aalim!

This person is young and a Miskeen [i.e. one lacking strength in the field of knowledge], but considers himself as one who has reached the highest level; so the ignoramuses come to him, gather around him and cut off from the scholars – and Allaah’s refuge is sought. This is one of the [minor] signs and portents of the hour, when the people abandon the senior scholars and embark upon acquiring knowledge from the ignorant young ones – those who pretend to be scholars. This is a calamity. Ibn Mas’ood [radiyallaahu-anhu] said: “The people will not cease to be upon good as long as they acquire knowledge from their elders, trustworthy ones and scholars.”

Contemplate on this statement, “And if they acquire knowledge from their young ones, they will be destroyed.” This is one of the obstacles and barriers to acquiring knowledge. It may be that some people desire knowledge, but he [i.e. an individual] becomes deceived by that young person and considers him to be the most knowledgeable of people. And had he gone to other than that young person, he would find that it is obligated on that young person to seek knowledge together with him, and sit down in the presence of the scholars. [Marhaban Yaa Taalibal Ilm’ – pages 227 – 228. slightly paraphrased].

From The Sunnah Is That You Do Not Help Anyone In Disobedience to Allaah – [By Imaam Al-Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah)]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Pearls of Wisdom, Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam.

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

Imaam Al-Barbahaaree [rahimahullaah] stated: “From the Sunnah is that you do not help anyone in disobedience to Allah, whether they be parents or any of the creation.  There is no obedience to a human in disobedience to Allah and no one is to be loved for that; rather all of that is to be hated for [the sake of Allah], the Blessed and Most High”.

Regarding the statement of Imaam Al-Barbahaaree: ‘From the Sunnah is that you do not help anyone in disobedience to Allah’;  Shaikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan [hafidhahullaah] commented saying: This is a fundamental principle from the fundamental principles of Ahlus Sunnah  Wal Jamaa’ah that has been derived from the statement of the [Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam)] that, “There is no obedience to the creation in disobedience to the Creator”. And he [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] said, “Obedience is only in that which is good”.

So whoever commands disobedience to Allah is not to be obeyed.  He is not to be obeyed in disobedience, whether your father, mother, or from the closest of the people to you, or a Ruler or a King.  He is not to be followed in disobedience.  Allaah [The Exalted] stated about the Yahood and Nasaaraa when they followed [their Rabis and Monks] in disobedience: [ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ أَحۡبَارَهُمۡ وَرُهۡبَـٰنَهُمۡ أَرۡبَابً۬ا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ – They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allaah (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by Allaah)]. [Surah At-tawbah, Aayah 31]

And concerning the statement of Imaam Barbahaaree, ‘Whether they be parents or any of the creation’; Allaah [The Exalted] said about parents:

وَوَصَّيۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ بِوَٲلِدَيۡهِ حَمَلَتۡهُ أُمُّهُ ۥ وَهۡنًا عَلَىٰ وَهۡنٍ۬ وَفِصَـٰلُهُ ۥ فِى عَامَيۡنِ أَنِ ٱشۡڪُرۡ لِى وَلِوَٲلِدَيۡكَ إِلَىَّ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ

وَإِن جَـٰهَدَاكَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن تُشۡرِكَ بِى مَا لَيۡسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلۡمٌ۬ فَلَا تُطِعۡهُمَا‌ۖ وَصَاحِبۡهُمَا فِى ٱلدُّنۡيَا مَعۡرُوفً۬ا‌ۖ وَٱتَّبِعۡ سَبِيلَ مَنۡ أَنَابَ إِلَىَّ‌ۚ َ

And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in two years give thanks to Me and to your parents, unto Me is the final destination.  But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not, but behave with them in the world kindly, and follow the path of him who turns to Me in repentance'[31:14-15]

Allah [The Exalted] said: [وَوَصَّيۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ بِوَٲلِدَيۡهِ حُسۡنً۬ا‌ۖ وَإِن جَـٰهَدَاكَ لِتُشۡرِكَ بِى مَا لَيۡسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلۡمٌ۬ فَلَا تُطِعۡهُمَآ‌ۚ إِلَىَّ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ فَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ – And We have enjoined on man to be good and dutiful to his parents, but if they strive to make you join with Me (in worship) anything (as a partner) of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not. Unto Me is your return, and I shall tell you what you used to do]. [Surah Al-Ankabut. Aayah 8] There is no obedience to the creation in disobedience to the Creator, regardless who that may be, even if he is the closest of the people to you, such as the two parents; then what about other than them!

Whoever Supports Or Defends Terrorists Is an Accomplice in Their Crime Even If He Carried No Weapon!

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq'.

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

Shaikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan [may Allaah preserve him] said:

Do not side with the people of Fitna, support, assist or defend them- because [that would necessitate] that you have shared in their [actions] if you defend them and consider their views to be correct, even if you did not come out alongside them [physically], then you have [still] shared in their sin, rebellion and transgression. Nowadays there are those who side with the people of Tafjeer and Takhreeb [i.e. those terrorists who detonate bombs to kill innocent civilians and cause destruction] and they call this jihaad in the path of Allah.  [Ref 1] They kill Muslims and the Mu’aahideen [i.e. those non-Muslims whose safety is guaranteed by way of a covenant] [Ref 2]. They cause destruction and terrify the Muslims, and they say, or those who support them say, ‘’This is jihaad in the path of Allah’’ and they defend them. These people [i.e. those who support the terrorists] are judged the same as the terrorists and Allaah’s refuge is sought- because they aid them and consider their views to be correct. There is great danger in this affair, because you [i.e. the one who supports terrorists] are considered as one who shares [their sins] even if you did not carry a weapon alongside them- due to the reason that you aid them and consider their views to be correct; rather what is even more serious is that you describe their actions as [acts of] Jihaad in the path of Allaah. [Ref 3]

Plotted to Spread Kufr and Shirk In Egypt Through Wealth and Education- [A Foiled Plan of Khumeini’s Party – (The Shia Raafidah of Iran)]

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Methodology - 'Manhaj'.

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

The following article is an excerpt and paraphrase from a tremendous advice given by Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee [may Allaah protect him and prolong his life upon goodness] to the people of Misr [Egypt]

To proceed: Recently Iran requested Cairo to send 20,000 Egyptian students to study in Tehran under the sponsorship of the Iranian government; O people of Misr (Egypt)-the government and the citizens! Do you know the goal behind this generous Iranian offer to receive twenty-thousand Egyptian students under the sponsorship of its government? The purpose of this offer is to convert this huge number into a dangerous raafidi army that will wage war against Misr [Egypt] in order to convert it into a raafidi state and society. This is an affair understood by even the one who has the least acquaintance with Khomeini’s plans and the eagerness of the raafidi revolutionaries-those abominable plans to take over the Muslim world and convert it into a raafidi (shiite) world. Its activities in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and other countries [is nothing else], but for the purpose of implementing this raafidi goal.

Indeed, the successful one is that one who learns a lesson from what has happened to others! -Do you want Misr (Egypt) to be converted to a stronghold of the strongholds of Shiites- declaring the noble companions of the Prophet [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] to be disbelievers and falsely accusing them of hearsay? Do want Misr (Egypt) to be converted into a stronghold of the strongholds of Shiites-declaring Ahlus Sunnah and their former and later Imaams to be disbelievers? Do you want Misr [Egypt] to be from the rawaafid [shiites of Iran and others]-those who deify humans, so that they believe that the Imaams have mastery over everything of an atom’s weight in the existence? This is a type of ruthless disbelief and heinous polytheism which is even disdained by the Jews, Christians and the idol worshippers. The idol worshippers were asked who the creator of the heavens and the earth is; so they said: ‘’It is Allaah who created them.’’ And they were asked who the controller of the affairs of the creation is; so they said: ‘’Allaah is the controller of the affairs.’’ As for the raafidah (shiites of Iran and others), they say that their Imaams have control over everything of atom’s weight in the existence.

Here are some of their beliefs and views towards Ahlus Sunnah by the testimony of one who was affiliated to them and was from their scholars Sayyid Husain Al-Moosawee in his Book titled: Lil-laahi Thumma Li At-Taareekh page:83-92]- The author who left the shiite (raafidi) cult of disbelief and polytheism. He wrote: When we look into our important books, the statements of our jurists and those scholars who strive to reach verdicts, we find that Ahlus Sunnah are the only enemy of the shiite, and for this reason they give them descriptions and call them names. They call Ahlus Sunnah Nawaasib (i.e. those who hate Ali and the family of the Prophet). The creed of the shiite community (i.e. the rawaafid of Iran etc.) has not ceased to be that every individual amongst Ahlus Sunnah is degraded through his/her anus. When a shiite (raafidi) insults another shiite and wishes to be extremely harsh in insulting him, he says to him: ”Sunni bones in your father’s grave.” This is because of their view that the Sunni is impure to a degree that if he/she were to bath a thousand times the impurity will still not leave him/her. This is the creed of all the (rawaafid) shiite and indeed our jurists compare the Sunni to a disbeliever, a polytheist and a pig, and they declare the Sunni an impurity from the types of impurities.

And because of this shiites hold that it is obligatory to differ with Ahlus Sunnah. Sudooq narrated from Ali Bin Asbaat who said: I said to Ridaa,”The affair has become that I cannot find anyone with his understanding and there is none amongst your allies in the country I am living who can give me a verdict? So he said: Go to the jurist of the land and seek a verdict from him; and if he gives you a verdict, then adopt its opposite because that is where the truth lies. [Uyoon Akhbaarul Ridaa 1/275 Tehran]

Sayyid Nimatullaahi Al-Jazaa-iree said: Indeed, we do not unite with them (i.e. Ahlus Sunnah)—neither upon a god and a prophet nor an Imaam, and that is because they (Ahlus Sunnah) say that their Lord is the One whose Prophet Muhammad was succeeded as Khaleefah by Abu Bakr. We (i.e. shiites rawaafid) neither speak about this Lord nor this Prophet; rather we say: Our Lord is not the one Whose Prophet was succeeded by Abu-Bakr as Khaleefah nor is that our Prophet. [Al-Anwaar Al-Jazaa-iriyyah 2/278]

Indeed, the hatred harbored by the shiite (rawaafid) towards Ahlus Sunnah neither started today nor is it specified to particular eras, rather it is a profound hatred harbored towards Ahlus Sunnah of the first generation-they hate all the Sahaabah besides Abu Dhar, Miqdaad and Salmaan. And for this reason kulaynee reported from Abu Jafar who said: ”All the people became apostates after the death of the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) except three people, namely: Al-Miqdaad Bin Al-Aswad, Salmaan Al-Faarisee and Abu Dhar Al-Ghiffaaree.” [Rawdatul Kaafee 8/46]

If we were to ask the Jews: ”who are the most virtuous people in your religion? They will say: ”Indeed, they are those who accompanied Moosaa (alayhis-salaam).” And if we were to ask the Christians: ”Who are the most virtuous people in your religion?” They will say: ”Indeed, it is those who aided Eesaa (alayhis-salaam).” And if we were to ask the shiites (rawaafid), ”who are the most evil people in your view and creed?” They will say: ”Indeed, it is the companions of Muhammad (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam).”

Indeed, the companions of Muhammad are mostly the ones who receive the most insults and curses of the shiite (rawaafid), particularly Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthmaan, and the two wives of the Prophet Aaisha and Hafsah. And for this reason it is found in a supplication of theirs called the supplication against the two idols of Quraish: ”O Allaah! Curse the two idols of Quraish Abu Bakr and Umar and their two Jibt and Taaghoot and two daughters [Aaisha and Hafsah]. [Note: Jibt and Taaghoot means false deities, satan, graves, stones, the sun, magicians, soothsayers or anything worshipped besides Allaah]. This supplication of the shiite (rawaafid) is recorded in their important books and khumeini used to supplicate with it every day after the Morning Prayer.

In the Iranian city of Kashan at a place called [باغي فين] [Baghi Fain] the shiite (rawaafid) visit a scene in which there is a tomb dedicated to Abu Lulu’a the (magian) murderer of the rightly guided khaleefah Umar Ibnul Khattaab (radiyallaahu-anhu). And on the walls of this tomb is written in Persian: ‘Death to Abu-Bakr; Death to Umar; Death to Uthmaan.’ This scene is visited by the Iranians and during their visit they give wealth and donations. I have seen this scene myself and the Iranian Ministry of guidance initiated its expansion and renovation.

Kulayni narrated from Abu Jafar who said: ”Indeed the two Shaikhs Abu-Bakr and Umar left this world and did not say what they did to the leader of the believers; so upon them is the curse of Allaah, the angels and all of mankind.” [Rawdatul kaafi 8/246]

Kulayni narrated:”Indeed all the people are children of fornication except those from our sect.” [Ar-rawdah 8/135]

The shiite (rawaafid) hold that Ahlus Sunnah are disbelievers and are worse than the Yahood and Nasaaraa. They hold that Ahlus Sunnah are children of prostitutes and it is obligatory to curse them, especially the first generation of Muslims [i.e. the companions of the Prophet (salal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) whom Allaah (The Most High) praised in the noble Qur’aan. The companions accompanied the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) in his call to Islaam and during his battles, and this participation of theirs is a proof of their truthfulness and sincerity.

A Brief Admonition to Those Who Take Selfies or Pose For a Photo During Hajj And Umrah

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestowed of Mercy.

Question to Shaikh Abdur Razzaaq Al-Badr [hafidhahullaah]: Is it allowed for the pilgrims to take photograps – either inside or outside the Masjid?

Answer: There is a severe threat of punishment for taking photographs [i.e. photograps of living things] due to many ahadeeth of the Prophet [sallal laahu alayhi wasallam]. That which is obligated on a pilgrim is that he busies himself with obedience to Allaah, seeks to get close to Allaah by way of that which Allaah has legislated and utilises his time – in the blessed land – with acts that will get Him close to Allaah, because maybe he will not be able to return to this place in future.

Taking photographs [i.e. of living things] –  either inside or outside the masjid, or at the places where the rites of hajj are performed – is tantamount to busying oneself in that which is of no benefit; rather it is harmful. Therefore, it is not permissible for the pilgrim to do so.

Some of the pilgrims are seen striving to take photographs in every place where the rites of hajj are performed – in Makkah, in the Masjid Al-Haraam, at Mina, Arafaat and Jamraat. He then gathers these pictures and puts them in a photo album [i.e. when he returns home] and shows them to the people. This [deed] of his is called Riyaa [showoff], because Hajj is an act of worship and Riyaa  [showing off] corrupts deeds.

Hajj is an act of worship that is performed for Allaah and neither should you desire the praise of the people nor so that they keep on mentioning your deeds. However, some of the pilgrims, due to being completely ignorant regarding this affair, we’ve seen some of them – at the places where the rites of hajj are performed – stop and then stand where they can be seen, then he gives his companion a camera to take a photo of him. We have even seen some of them raise their hands in supplication and after the photo is taken, he puts his hands down. Raising the hands in Du’aa is worship, but is this person’s raising his hands an act of seeking closeness to Allaah?! Then he takes these photos back to his country and say to the people, “Here I am making du’aa, here I am at Jamraat!”  It has been reported that the Prophet [sallal laahu alayhi wasallam] said: said: “O Allaah! Make it a Hajj in which there is no showing off nor reputation sought.” [Sunan Ibn Maajah 2890] Therefore, it is obligated on the pilgrim to fear Allaah – neither should he busy himself nor waste his time in the likes of these deeds that will not benefit him, rather they harm him.
