Brief Observations on Muhammad Qutb’- by Shaikh Rabee and Shaikh Hammaad Al-Ansaari
In The Name of Allaah The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadi (may Allaah preserve him)….
- Muhammad Qutb spoke about Tawheed but with no detail and clarity…..
- Muhammad Qutb aided in spreading the ideas of his brother Sayyid Qutb– by spreading his brother’s books of bidah and misguidance.
- No clear report has being received from Muhammad Qutb disapproving of his brother’s innovations and affairs of misguidance. He shouldered the responsibility of spreading Sayyid Qutb’s books of misguidance and bidah. So if he repented to Allaah and showed regret for spreading those books, he would have made that public; but if not he remains guilty of spreading the misguidance and innovations of his brother.

The Reality of Ismaeel Beaumont as Revealed By Ismaeel Beaumont—See Tweet by Ustaadh Abu Iyaad
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Another thorn for Abul Abaas Naveed Ayaaz’s racist-hizbi friend from Manchester (the Manchester based supporter of the Mubtadia (Halabi, Maribi etc) and supporter of Masjid Sunnah in Manchester) who is attempting to sow seeds of shubuhaat.
See the picture on this tweet by Ustaadh Abu Iyaad, which clarifies the situation of Isma’eel Beaumont: pic.twitter.com/KB5CXBbd5K] nullifies the racist-hizbi’s recent claims regarding the dispute between Abdul-Wali and Ismaeel Beaumont
Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (d. 187, rahimahullaah) said: ‘If Allaah (the Mighty and Majestic), knows that a man hates a person of innovation, He will forgive him even if his actions are few. A person of Sunnah would not help an innovator except due to hypocrisy. Whoever turns his face away from an innovator, Allaah will fill his heart with faith. Whoever frightens an innovator away, Allaah will grant him safety on the Day of Great Terror and whoever debases an innovator, Allaah will raise him in Paradise by a hundred ranks, so, for Allaah, never shelter an innovator’
The Manchester Based Racist Hizbi is extremely enraged because brother Abdul Wali recanted from his mistake [ see link: http://salaficentre.com/?p=12226] but the hizbi-racist is not able to abandon the innovators and their supporters!
Concerning the statement of Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (rahimahullaah): ‘If Allaah (the Mighty and Majestic), knows that a man hates a person of innovation, He will forgive him even if his actions are few.’ Al-Allaamah Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) said: Because this (i.e. hatred for a person of innovation) is from loving and hating for the (sake of Allaah)– love for the people of Imaan and hatred for the enemies of Allaah. This is a fundamental principle from the fundamental principles of Aqeedah. [Source: It-haaful Qaaree Bitta’liqaat Alaa Sharhis Sunnah Lil Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah). Vol 2: page:325-326]
Allaah’s Protection is sought! Neither has the racist-hizbi of Manchester freed himself from the figureheads of bid’ah (Halabi, Maribi, Magharaawi, etc.) nor has he repented from his racist remarks.

Three Unrepentant Liars [Abu Usaamah, Al-Arifi (a Comrade of the Deceiver Aasim Al-Hakeem) and Zakir Naik]
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
The reality of lying is to give news of something in opposition to the true state of affairs. This transmission of news is not limited to speech, rather it can be through action, such as making an indication with one’s hand or nodding one’s head and it can be through silence.
It is said that the liar is a thief, because the thief deceives you with regards to your wealth and the liar deceives you with regards to your intellect. [Adabud Dunyaa Wal-Deen page: 262]
Indeed, these three liars have not given news in opposition to the real state of affairs due to a mistake or forgetfulness; rather they deliberately lied in order to support their deviated methodologies. They persist upon their lies and are too proud to repent after it has become manifestly clear to them that they are guilty of lying and slander. This lying and slander employed against the Salafiyyoon –by these three deviants and those similar to them– is founded upon malice, deceit, deviation and unfounded evil suspicion towards the people of truth and Salafiyyah. Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee (may Allaah preserve him) stated:
”Destructive Good Suspicion is to have a good suspicion of the people of falsehood whether are they disbelievers, innovators or evil (open) sinners. And that which led the disbelievers to belie the Messengers, (harbouring) a severe disbelief in them and their message was due to their evil suspicion towards the people of truth (i.e. the Prophets and their true followers), and having a good suspicion of their forefathers and their religions of falsehood and disbelief.
Ahlul Bidah such as the rawaafid, the khawaarij, the soofiyyah, the murji-a, the qadariyyah and the people of Tahazzub Al-Baatil (false partisanship) are destroyed by good suspicion towards their shuyookh, figureheads and corrupt creeds. On the other hand, they are destroyed by their evil suspicions towards the truth and its people. [Paraphrased and Abridged: For further details see: [Majmoo Fataawaa Al-Allaamah Rabee: 13/363-364]
Abu Usaama [2012]
On the 25th July 2012, Abu Usaamah gave a video-recorded lecture in which he claimed that he was giving ‘Sincere Advice’. He claimed that Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah utilised the speech of Imaam Albaanee (rahimahullaah) in a deceitful manner in order to show that Abdur-Rahman Abdul-Khaaliq is an innovator.
This lie became ever more serious when one realizes (as is apparent from the video) that Abu Usamah was holding a printed copy of the blog post in front of his face for most of the lecture, yet he never once read where Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah had said that Shaikh al-Albaanee (rahimahullaah) had made tabdee’ on Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul-Khaaliq or even implied it. In a whole hour and more, not once did Abu Usaamah read this alleged assertion of Abu Khadeejah?
Abu Usaamah stated that he had a copy of Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah’ saved “in case it is taken down”! In that post Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah stated: ”Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul-Khaaliq is the leading figurehead of the group Ihyaa Turaath of Kuwait – he was refuted by numerous major scholars, including the Shaykh, the Muhaddith and Imaam Al-Albaanee (rahimhullaah). He was declared an innovator by the Imaam of Yemen Muqbil bin Haadee (rahimahullaah).”
So Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah clearly made a careful distinction between the refutation of al-Albaanee and the tabdee’ of Shaikh Muqbil (rahimahumallaah), which Abu Usaamah failed to make mention of throughout his hour long rant…… [Abridged and paraphrased For further details, see: http://www.salafitalk.com/threads/1216-A-Response-to-the-Deceit-of-Abu-Usaamah-Khalifah-and-His-Lying-Tongue]

Question: Brixton Masjid Admin and Staunch Affiliates –[Halabiyyoon]—which group do you belong to?!
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Al-Allaamah Zayd Bin Haadi (may Allaah preserve him) said:
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.

Statements of Some of The Kibaarul Ulamaa
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Al-Allaamah Hammaad Al-Ansaari (rahimahullaah) stated:
“The Sahaabah never differed in Aqeedah; rather the differing (in Aqeedah) took place after them.” [1]
Al-Allaamah Saaleh Al-Luhaydaan (may Allaah preserve him) was asked about the one who says that the sahaabah differed in aqeedah; so he said: [“أستغفر الله – none says this except a Mubtadi Daal (i.e. an innovator, astray one). [2]
Audio
Al-Allaamah Ahmad Bin Yahyah An-Najmi (rahimahullaah) was asked about the one who says that the Sahaabah differed in Aqeedah; so he replied: “The one who says that the sahaabah differed in Aqeedah should support his speech with evidences; otherwise he is a liar, false accuser…. [3]
The Shaikh (rahimahullaah) also said:
Has lying and false accusation been made easy for the utterer (of this statement) to such a level: Falsely accusing the Companions of the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallaam)?! [4]
The Shaikh (rahimahullaah) also said:
”Indeed this speaker who says that the Sahaabah differed in Aqeedah–it is obligated on him to keep quiet and should be prevented from speaking about Aqeedah; because he is ignorant about it.” [5]
The Shaikh (rahimahullaah) also said:
As for differing in the rulings pertaining to subsidiary issues of (the religion) based on Ijtihaad, then this did occur between the Sahaabah and each of them stated what he saw to be the truth, and none amongst them found fault with anyone. Not a single one of them reproached the one who was in opposition to him; but the aim of this speaker–false accuser–is to pave the way for the differing of hizbiyyah (i.e. to find room– by way of this false claim–for the differing of the people of illegal partisanship against the sound Manhaj positions of the Salafis). And he has established against himself that he is a hizbi…. [6]

Ref 2: Clarification: The Muta-aalim (Pseudo Shaikh Asim Al-Hakeem) has not been declared an innovator; rather this is a general ruling and not specific to anyone until the evidence is established against such an individual. However, it shows the severity of Asim’s devilish insinuations and ignorance.

[1] Salafiyyah In The UK–The Plots of the False Claimants and the Lies of The ignorant Slanderer Mr Zakir Naik
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Allaah (The Most High) said:
وَلَا تَقۡفُ مَا لَيۡسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلۡمٌۚ إِنَّ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡبَصَرَ وَٱلۡفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ كَانَ عَنۡهُ مَسۡـُٔولاً۬
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]
Imaam Ibnul Jawzi (rahimahullaah) stated that from the statements of the scholars of Tafseer regarding the meaning of this ayah is that: You do not accuse anyone of something you have no knowledge of; you should not say that you have seen, whilst you haven’t seen; you should not say that you have heard, whilst you haven’t heard; and you should not give false testimony. In this ayah is also a prohibition from looking at haraam; listening to haraam and having conviction in what is impermissible. [For further details, see Zaadul Maseer]
This series –In’shaa’Allaah–will unveil the false accusations and blatant lies of the ignorant slanderer Mr Zakir Naik, who claims that the Salafis in the Uk make takfeer of one another.
Excerpt from main document the reader is urged to read
This document intends to provide a historical background into the Salafee da’wah1, within the context of the numerous fitnahs that have entered into it, that have in reality come from the direction of al-Ikhwaan al-Muslimoon, and whoever was poisoned by them. The reader, inshaa’allaah, will have acquired a wider picture, and a context in which to place whatever is observed today of the various problems, differences and splits within the da’wah, or amongst those who ascribe themselves to Salafiyyah and the Salafee da’wah.
No doubt, the last few decades have seen major global events unfolding. The first was the new wave of geo-political strategies of the Kuffaar in the Muslim lands, and parallel to that, was the great upheaval caused – in the last decade specifically and more profoundly – in the Salafee da’wah by the penetration of the Ikhwaan under the disguise and costume of ascription to the “doctrinal Salafiyyah” (aqaa’id). An ascription that was divorced and separated from the practical, manhaj-based, Salafiyyah (manaahij) to which they were actually opposed, due to the false methodologies that they had innovated or imbibed, and which they wished to enter into the Salafees. So their ascription to the doctrinal belief-based aspect of Salafiyyah was the veil by which they entered their foreign, deviated methodologies amongst the unsuspecting Salafees, hoping that no one would suspect them, merely because they held onto the Salafee aqeedah, and would often defend it 2, and this was the veil they used to enter upon the Salafees and the da’wah of Ahl us-Sunnah.
The merging of these collection of events and occurrences at the one and the same time (during the last decade), led many people ascribing themselves to Salafiyyah to be led to great confusion and to take on a variety of different and separate paths over time, and wander off in every direction – due to the absence of the proliferation of and grounding in the methodologies (manaahij) of the Book and the Sunnah amongst the people.
What is of concern in this document is to bring about clarity in the methodologies of the Salaf, because this is what will bring unity amongst those who ascribe themselves to Salafiyyah, bringing about a common perception and outlook with shared understandings and goals, and helping to bring about a walaa and baraa that is based around what it truly ought to be based around, which is the aqaa’id (beliefs), the manaahij (methodologies) and correct Salafee mawaaqif (positions). Unfortunately, there has been a tendency for people to take isolated events or occurrences (such as calamities that have taken place in the lands of the Muslims, non-Muslim aggressions, or specific issues that have taken place with respect to personalities, or people of the knowledge in the da’wah, or issues related to the da’wah), and then to build their whole perception of the da’wah and individuals connected to it, based upon these isolated incidents, issues or occurrences. This led them to become totally out of focus, and lose track of the wider picture. The perceptions created in their minds by way of these isolated affairs, or a collection of unrelated affairs, then led them to see all future issues and developments with these tainted and subjective perceptions, disabling them from seeing everything in its proper perspective. All subsequent occurrences, as they saw them, would feed into and re-inforce these initial (erroneous, subjective) perceptions. This would then also affect their speech and behaviour, making them take positions and hold loyalties or disownments, and direct their emotions of love and and hate, and choose their company and friendship, all upon false criterions and false determinations based upon subjective experiences and limited, narrow viewpoints tied down to one or a few or a collection of issues or events3. What was also a part of the cause for this was the fact that true and real clarity, concerning these tribulations and the methodologies of the Salaf had not emerged then, unlike more recent times.
For this reason, this document contains a historical account of the true origins and background to the many problems that have entered the da’wah of Ahl us-Sunnah in recent times – in order to allow the reader to put everything into context. It is hoped that all those who ascribed themselves to the Salafee da’wah at one time or another during the last decade will gain some insights, and will gain a thorough understanding about what has occurred in the da’wah following the Gulf War. This will allow them to appreciate, in retrospect, the clarity that has now emerged concerning the sum whole of this fitnah. It will also allow them to determine the true Scholars, those who are upon the truth, upon the Salafee aqeedah, the Salafee manhaj and those who are traversing upon the Salafee da’wah and implementing it, following the actual manhaj of these Scholars. It is also hoped that these insights allows the true sincere Salafees, who truly desire Salafiyyah, in belief, speech and action, to unite together based upon the clarity that has now emerged by way of the collective statements and clarifications of the Scholars, over the past 8 years or so, in relation to the various methodologies of al-Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen that were disguised as Salafiyyah and which have been exposed and refuted sufficiently.

They say: ”We are not obliged to take the speech of the Shaikh.” So how many trustworthy scholars do they need in order to abandon the Innovators?!
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
You find a scholar quoting and refuting the affairs of misguidance found in the Book of such and such a person, in such and such page; yet you find these people saying: ‘’I am not obliged to (take/accept) the speech of such and such a Shaikh?!’’
Question to Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali (may Allaah preserve him)
Are the issues of Jarh Wat-Tadeel based on Ijtihaad? And how do we refute the one who says, ‘’I am not obliged to (take/accept) the speech of such and such a Shaikh?!
Answer:
A group from the schemers against the Salafi Methodology and those who wear a false garment of the Salafiyyah Methodology seek to place in the affair of Jarh Wat-Tadeel, (the false principle): ”We rectify, but we do not disparage;” (and the false principle): ”We want a broad and extensive methodology that will accommodate all the ummah”; (and the false principle): ‘’We rectify but we do not destroy;” Meaning: Neither evil nor bidah is repelled; rather all the Ummah are accommodated in a board and extensive methodology to the extent that even the Raafidah (shia) are accommodated. So these people begin to make false accusations against the science of Jarh Wat-Tadeel and against those (i.e. the scholars) who establish it. Some of these false accusers have gone as far as saying that there is no proof in the Qur’aan and the Sunnah to establish the science of Jarh Wat-Tadeel!
Indeed, the Qur’aan is filled with the proofs of Jarh Wat Tadeel. The people of pharaoh have been refuted and disparaged; the people of Prophet Nooh have been refuted and disparaged; the people of Prophet Hud have been refuted and disparaged; the people of Prophet Saaleh have been refuted and disparaged; the Quraish have been refuted and disparaged and Abu Lahab has been refuted and disparaged. The Sunnah and the methodology of the Salaf are filled with Jarh Wat Tadeel and it is a weapon against the people of innovation. These people promoting such false principles want to break this ‘Jarh Wat-Tadeel Weapon’ into pieces, and they want to deprive the Salafis of this ‘Jarh Wat-Tadeel Weapon’ which is traced back to the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam).
So a person comes along and wages war against the science of Jarh Wat-Tadeel; then a second person comes along and wages war against the science of Jarh Wat-Tadeel; then a third person comes along and wages war against the science of Jarh Wat-Tadeel; then a fourth one comes along and wages war against the science of Jarh Wat-Tadeel……..then a tenth person comes along and wages war against the science of Jarh Wat-Tadeel and they are all followed by crowds!! Therefore be warned against these people, for they wear a false gown of Salafiyyah in order to split the Salafis through these false principles and precepts.
A person commits murder and was seen by two trustworthy witnesses; then these two witnesses are summoned in the presence of the ruler who applies the Islamic rulings; so what will he judge by? He should judge by the law of Islam; and if not then he has opposed the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah Allaah’s Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam). Allaah (The Most High) said:
وَأَشۡہِدُواْ ذَوَىۡ عَدۡلٍ۬ مِّنكُمۡ
”And take for witness two just persons from among you (Muslims).” [65:2]
The evidence for giving witnesses and the evidences for Jarh Wat-Tadeel are one and the same thing. As for the untrustworthy person, then his narration is not accepted. Likewise, the liar- the deceiver whose speech cannot be determined for its correctness, then his testimony is not accepted. Neither his criticism nor commendation of a person is accepted. However, if he is a scholar who is precise and skilful, and he says about a person: ”Such and such a person is a liar”; then it is obligatory upon the people to accept his speech. The Salaf followed this methodology, (such as their saying): ”such and such is a liar”; ”such and such has a bad memory”; ”such and such is an innovator”; ”such and such is a murji”; ”such and such is a khaariji”; ”such and such is a mutazili” etc These statements have been made by Imaam Ahmad, Imaam Ibn Ma’een, Imaam Ibn Al-Madeenee, Imaam Bukhaaree etc. This the path followed by the Salaf; and why is that the case? That is because Allaah commanded us to accept the narration of the trustworthy narrators. Allaah (The Most High) said:
يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِن جَآءَكُمۡ فَاسِقُۢ بِنَبَإٍ۬ فَتَبَيَّنُوٓاْ
O you who believe! If a rebellious evil person comes to you with a news, verify it’’ [49:6]
Clarification and verification is to be sought when a rebellious evil person narrates. The narration of a rebellious evil person is not declared a lie straight away because it may be correct; but it is not accepted until it is verified.
As for the narration of a trustworthy person–as long as he is trustworthy and precise in what he narrates from the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam), then it is obligatory to accept his narration. The Books of the Sunnah are filled with the narrations of those truthful narrators—a truthful person who reports from another truthful person with a chain of transmission going back to the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam). However, these people who are seeking to attack the science of Jarh Wat-Tadeel with their false principles want to abolish the sound principles upon which our Religion is established.
Many of the Ahaadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam), the transmissions from the companions (radiyallaahu-anhum) and the transmissions from the Imaams of the Sunnah were transmitted from one trustworthy person to another trustworthy person… and it obligatory to accept them, due to the saying of Allaah (The Most High):
[وَأَشۡہِدُواْ ذَوَىۡ عَدۡلٍ۬ مِّنكُمۡ ]
And take for witness two just persons from among you (Muslims).
And with regards to transmission of information, then the information transmitted by one person is sufficient because the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) used to send one person to Chosroes (i.e. the Emperor of Persia) to call him to Islaam and establish the proofs against him.
And he (sallal-laahu-alayhi-sallam) sent one person to Caesar the King of Rome to call him to Islaam and establish the proofs against him. The people used to enter Islaam through the message of this one trustworthy-truthful person sent by the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam). And if they rejected Islaam and refused to follow the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) based on the information transmitted by this one trustworthy-truthful person, he (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) prepared an army against them. The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) prepared an army for the battle of Tabuk against the Romans based on the fact that they rejected the call to Islaam which was communicated to them by one person.
He (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) sent individuals to Bahrain, Oman and Yemen and their narrations were accepted; so how about in this present time of ours when there are ten or fifty Salafi (scholars) who are in agreement regarding a particular affair, but their narrations are rejected. And those who reject them, say: ‘’There has to be a consensus of all the scholars.’’ And from the false principles of these people is that they say: ‘’we neither accept criticism against a person nor a praise for him even if many of the contemporary scholars say that such a person is an innovator.’’
Therefore be warned against these people, because they make a claim to Salafiyyah, whilst seeking to destroy the Salafi Methodology, its principles and foundations. How many false precepts do they have, such as their saying: ‘’I am not obliged to (take/accept) the speech of such and such a Shaikh?!’’ You find a scholar quoting and refuting the affairs of misguidance found in the Book of such and such a person, in such and such page, yet you find these people saying: ‘’I am not obliged to (take/accept) the speech of such and such a Shaikh?!’’
This statement of theirs is a principle by way of which they seek to shun and reject truth. It is a false principle by way of which they seek to reject the sound principles of Jarh Wat-Tadeel. Therefore, learn the sound principles of Jarh Wat-Tadeel and look to the methodology of the Salaf; and leave alone these who misguide. They bring turmoil upon the true religion of Allaah and upon the Methodology of the Salaf and its followers.
