Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (Rahimahullaah) said:

”Whoever is approached by a man and he directs him to a Mubtadi, has acted with deception towards Islaam. Be mindful of entering upon the people of innovation, for indeed they prevent from the haqq.”

Greenlane’s Admin [Bold Faced Liars; False Claimants to Salafiyyah and Shelterers of Ahlul Bidah] state on their website as follows: ”GLMCC is committed in providing a service to the community in accordance to the teachings and strict adherence to the Quran and authentic Sunnah with the understanding of the Khulafa Rashideen and Salaf-us-Salih.” [End of Quote]

A Reminder before we briefly shed light on this blatant lie and destructive Plot Against the Pure Salafi Manhaj

Imaam Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhaab (rahimahullaah) stated in Ma’saa’ilil Jaahiliyyah [the 120th Mas-alah] They (People of the Pre-Islamic era of ignorance) claimed to follow the Salaf (righteous predecessors), while they clearly opposed and contradicted them.” Shaikh Saaleh al Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him) said:

The general (people) among the Jews and the Christians, and the people of misguidance among those who attribute themselves to Islaam claim to follow those believers who preceded them. So the Jews claim that they follow Moosaa (alyahis-salaam) and those who believed in him; the Christians claim that they follow the Messiah (alayhis-salaam) and those who believed in him, and the people of misguidance of this Ummah claim that they follow the Salaf of this Ummah- the Sahaabah, the Taa’bi’een and their followers- and that what they are upon is the way of the Salaf.

It is not that the claim of everyone who claims to be upon the Madhab of the Salaf or upon the methodology of the Salaf is a sound claim, until he makes apparent what he is upon (regarding the) Methodology of the Salaf. So if that conforms to (the Methodology of the Salaf), then he is upon the Methodology of the Salaf; and if it is in opposition, then he is not upon the Methodology of the Salaf, even if he makes that claim.

Every deviated party at present claims to be upon the way of the Salaf, but they are not upon the methodology of the Salaf because the statement of the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) regarding the precise (definition) of the way of the Salaf: ‘those upon that which I and my companions are upon’, is not applicable to them. This is what it (means) to be upon the methodology of the Salaf. As for the one who is in opposition to this, then he is not upon the methodology of the Salaf, even if he claims that. The Claim is not what is taken into consideration; rather the reality is what is taken into consideration. Those who claim Salafiyyah are many, but they must make apparent what they are upon (with regards to the) Methodology of the Salafus Saaleh. If that is in conformity, then it is truth, and if in opposition, they are not upon the Methodology of the Salafus Saaleh. Likewise, there are those who attribute themselves to the Madhabs of the Four Imaams, whilst being in opposition to the Imaams in Aqeedah; so their ascription is not correct because they oppose (the Imaams) in the most important of affairs and that is Aqeedah. [1] [End of Quote]

Greenlane’s Admin [Bold Faced Liars; False Claimants to Salafiyyah and Shelterers of Ahlul Bidah] claims to be establishing the understanding of the Khulafaa and the Salaf; but the reality is that the Khulafaa and the Salaf neither worked with the people of Bidah nor sheltered those who openly defend figureheads of Bidah. This Admin is an open ally of Ihya Turaath (an organization of Bidah, whose speakers propagate various deviant methodologies]; Al-Maghrib Institute, whose deviation is clear to all the Salafiyyoon-Scholars, students of knowledge and the rest of the Salafiyyoon.

Likewise, this Admin is still sheltering Goldie [Abu Usaamah (the man of bidah)], who is well known to defend three contemporary figureheads of bidah and misguidance [Ali Halabi, Abul Hasan Al-Maribi and Muhammad Al-Maghraawi]. Therefore, is it from the Methodology of the Khulafaa and the Salaf to co-operate with the people of Bidah or shelter those who defend them! Far removed is the Methodology of the Salaf from this satanic and destructive methodology. Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (Rahimahullaah) said: ”Whoever is approached by a man and he directs him to a Mubtadi, has acted with deception towards Islaam. Be mindful of entering upon the people of innovation, for indeed they prevent from the haqq.” [2]

(2) Reality of Masjid Al Furqan’s admin: A Further Example of the Manhaj of Mixing Haqq & Baatil

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on August 14, 2014. Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Innovations In Islam (Bidah), Methodology - 'Manhaj', Refutations.

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

Allaah (The Most High) said:

وَلَا تُجَـٰدِلۡ عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخۡتَانُونَ أَنفُسَہُمۡ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ خَوَّانًا أَثِيمً۬ا

يَسۡتَخۡفُونَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَا يَسۡتَخۡفُونَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَهُوَ مَعَهُمۡ إِذۡ يُبَيِّتُونَ مَا لَا يَرۡضَىٰ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ‌ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ مُحِيطًا

هَـٰٓأَنتُمۡ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ جَـٰدَلۡتُمۡ عَنۡہُمۡ فِى ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا فَمَن يُجَـٰدِلُ ٱللَّهَ عَنۡہُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ أَم مَّن يَكُونُ عَلَيۡہِمۡ وَڪِيلاً۬

And argue not on behalf of those who deceive themselves. Verily, Allah does not like anyone who is a betrayer of his trust, and indulges in crime. They may hide (their crimes) from men, but they cannot hide (them) from Allah, for He is with them (by His Knowledge), when they plot by night in words that He does not approve, and Allah ever encompasses what they do. Lo! You are those who have argued for them in the life of this world, but who will argue for them on the Day of Resurrection against Allah, or who will then be their defender? [4:7-9]

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali (may Allaah preserve him) said: Whoever (deliberately) defends them (i.e. the innovators, people of falsehood etc) and argues on their behalf with falsehood, then he among those more deserving of the (above) statement of Allaah. [End of Quote] [1]

We had previously mentioned the confused state in which Masjid al Furqan of Rusholme (Manchester) finds itself in regards to it’s call and methodology- (http://salaficentre.com/2014/08/1-the-reality-of-masjid-al-furqaans-admin-rusholme-manchester-allies-of-goldie-abu-usamah/)

As the article made clear then, we see the likes of Abu Usaamah ad-Dhahabi invited there; a man whose hatred for the salafiyoon is deep and who defends the innovators (the likes of Al Magharawi, Al Ma’ribi, etc); then at the same time they arrange tele-links with those whom from which they hide their true state of affairs.

Another clear example of this hypocrisy of action, confusion in manhaj and deliberate attempts to confuse and pull the wool over the eyes of the people is found in their public library.

Their library carries the books of Sayid Qutb- Namely Fi dhilaal al Quran (in the shade of the Qur’an). Not one copy but two!

Now many will be acquainted with the destructive ideology propagated by this “thinker” and revolutionary; an ideology of bloodshed and revolution, which the ummah is suffering the consequences of to this very day. But as for those who require further information then the following article can make that clear:

http://www.spubs.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=NDV01&articleID=NDV010007&articlePages=1

http://www.spubs.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=NDV01&articleID=NDV010008&articlePages=1

Furthermore here is a list of brief observations of the Scholars On Sayyid Qutb:

Imaam Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) said:

”He (i.e. Sayyid Qutub) is lost (with regards to) Tafseer.” [3]

Imaam Albaani (rahimahullaah) said:

”He (i.e. Sayyid Qutub) does not possess an understanding of Islaam based on its (sound) fundamental principles and subsidiary issues.” [4]

Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said:

”Shaikh Abdullaah Duwaish and Shaikh Rabee have observations on Sayyid Qutb’s Tafseer, so whoever wants to refer to (those observations) can do so.” [5]

Al-Allaamah Saaleh Al-Luhaydaan (may Allaah preserve him) said:

”The books of Sayyid Qutb are filled with affairs that are in opposition to (sound) Islamic Creed.” [6]

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi (may Allaah preserve him) stated after mentioning a few books of sayyid Qutub:

”They gather the major innovations in them.” [7]

The above mentioned book is a tafseer written by Sayid Qutb and carries the basis and hall marks of that ideology. It is a tafseer which as Shaykh Anjaree (may Allah preserve him) explained is a tafseer based on “thinking and literal interpretation”; not on the hadeeth and the sunnah.

So what is Masjid Al Furqan doing when it has made that book freely available to any member of the congregation! A book which is one of the cornerstones of the ikhwaani thought and methodology, sits comfortably on their shelves whilst at the same time they are supposedly inviting and arranging links with scholars!

So the admin of Masjid al Furqan (Rusholme Manchester) are clearly attempting to mix between truth and falsehood. On one hand these books that carry the destructive ideologies and propagate the dawa of Sayid Qutb are on the shelves of Masjid Al Furqan; whilst on the other the admin arranges links with sound scholars to blur the people’s vision and hide the reality of their manhaj from the common people.

Ponder upon this statement of Shaikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him) said: ”Yes, separation between the truth and the falsehood; this is correct. We make a distinction between truth and the falsehood and (also between) the people of truth and the people of falsehood. We are going to refute (the people of falsehood), and the Scholars refuted (the people of falsehood). This is not for the purpose of causing division; this is to gather the people upon the truth, because with people remaining upon misguidance and upon the speech of falsehood, then this causes division between the Muslims. As for clarifying the truth for the people, so they can gather upon it, then this is the da’wah towards unity, not the da’wah towards separation. The da’wah towards separation is when it is said, ‘The people of falsehood are not to be refuted.’ This is the da’wah to division if they only gave thought.”[8] [End of quote]

This is the Dawah of Masjid Al-Furqan! They seek to hide their reality; promote Goldie (a man of bidah) and the Books of Sayyid Qutb (the Imaam of the Takfeeris of this Era). Therefore, it is very clear that the events of Masjid Al-Furqan are not to be attended because they defend the man of bidah Goldie and promote the Books of the blood thirsty Khaariji Terrorist Sayyid Qutb.

It will be interesting to see if these books are taken down permanently, the ideology within them refuted and the haqq made clear. Or whether whilst it suits they will be removed up until they can be re-placed there and left to misguide another generation of youth.

And we seek refuge in Allah from such a calamity. And Allah knows best.

Suicide Bombing does not produce any benefit for the Muslims! Shaikh Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah)

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on August 9, 2014. Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Innovations In Islam (Bidah), Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Scholars of Islam.

And this action (i.e. suicide bombing) will provoke malice and bitterness in his heart to such an extent that he (i.e. the Non- Muslim) may seek to wreak havoc upon the Muslims. This is what is found from the practice of the Jews with the people of Palestine so when one of the Palestinian blows himself up and kills six or seven people, then in retaliation they take sixty or more. So this does not produce any benefit for the Muslims, and does not benefit those amongst whose ranks explosives are detonated. [Translation from salafipublications.com]

Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) said:

Unity; oneness of purpose and truthful co-operation upon truth in every Ummah, is without a doubt the underlying reason for success, victory and nobility in this life and the next.

Reminder: Another Liar among the Deceitful Graduates -[Naveed Ayaaz (@ Madeenah Dot Con/IslamNelson) -Friend and Companion of Obstinate Hizbiyyoon]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on August 1, 2014. Posted in Brotherhood, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Refutations.

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

Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu-anhu) said, the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said:

”A person is upon the religion of his friend, so let each one of you look at whom he befriends.” [As-Saheehah: 97]

Ibn Mas’ood (radiyallaah-anhu) said:

”Indeed a person walks alongside and accompanies the one whom he loves and who is like him.” [Al-Ibaanah:2/476]

Abu Ad-dardaa (radiyallaahu-anhu) said:

”It is from the understanding of a person that he (chooses) those whom he walks with, whom he enters (visits) and whom he sits with.”[Al-Ibaanah: 2/477]

Indeed, the affair of Naveed Ayaaz is amazing! He openly accompanies the people of hizbiyyah and bidah (i.e. Abu Usamah); affiliates himself with the Masjid Committee (i.e. Masjid As-Sunnah- Cheethamhill) that defends obstinate Mubtadia (Maghraawi, Maribi, Halabi); affiliates himself with the affiliates of Ihyaa Turaath (i.e. Greenlane Admin) and promotes other obstinate figureheads of hizbiyyah (i.e. Suhaib Hasan) whose hizbiyyah is well known to the Salafiyyoon of the West; however Naveed wants us to ignore all these calamities and talk about side issues. Ustaadh Abu Mu’aadh Taqweem Aslam (may Allaah protect him) who has been refuting the calamities states: ‘’It is perplexing as to how and why these individuals of IslamNelson continue to make attempt after attempt at justifying themselves.’’ So we say: Indeed Ustaadh, this is same attitude of the hizbiyyoon in general! They openly proclaim their corrupt alliances and seek false justifications, even though the verdicts of Ahlul Ilm and the reality of the affair belies the corrupt stances of the hizbiyyoon. Therefore, we ask Naveed to repent to Allaah [by way of speech and action] from this destructive companionship and affiliation. He should free himself from the followers of Halabi, Maribi and Maghraawi.

The verdict of the scholars against Abul Fitan Al-Maribi

Al-Allaamah Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him) said:

”Abandon this man (i.e. Abul Hasan) and call to the methodology of Ahlus Sunnah wal-Jamaa-ah.”

[Source: Siyaanatus-salafi Min Waswasati Wa-Talbeesaat Ali Al-Halabi: 533]

Al-Allaamah Abdullaah Al-Ghudayaan (rahimahullaah) said:

”This man (i.e. Abul Hasan al-Maribi) is subjected to trials and tribulations, (he is) insignificant and foolish.”

[Source: Siyaanatus salafi: page: 533]

Al-Allaamah Bin Yahyah An-Najmi (rahimahullaah) said:

”Indeed, it has been finally established with me that Abul Hasan is a Mubtadi (innova-tor).”

[Source: Siyaanatus-salafi: page: 533]

Imaam Muqbil Bin Haadee Al-Waadi-ee (rahimahullaah) said:

”Be cautious of Abul Hasan….I fear for the Dawah with regards to Abul Hasan.” He (rahimahullaah) also said: ”Abul Hasan is sly. He utilises cleverness and not what is from righteousness, purity and uprightness…..”

[Source: Siyaanatus Salafi page: 533]

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Hadee al-Madkhalee (may Allaah preserve him) said:

”The initial affair with regards to them (i.e. Al-Abul Hasan al-Maribi, Muhammad Hassaan and Abu Ishaaq Al-Huwayni) is that they are ikhwaanees, upon the nurturing of the ikhwaanees.”

[Source: Siyaanah: page:534]

Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadee (may Allaah preserve him) said:

”Indeed, many of the salafi brothers are aware of the condition of this man (i.e. Abul Hasan Al-Maribi); rather at present he is with the groups of illegal partisanship, and he says, he says and he says of that which is recorded in his cassettes. And he used to reject these (affairs) the day before, but today he came with them with his own tongue. We ask Allaah for wellbeing and safety. He now speaks with the affairs he used to reject from the callers to illegal partisanship the day before….until the Shaikh said: ‘’I know him (i.e. Abul Hasan), he does not feel ashamed of telling lies.”

[Source: Siyaanatus salafi: page: 535]

Al-Allaamah Ubaid Bin Abdillaah Al-Jaabiriy (may Allaah preserve him) said:

”This man (i.e. Abul Hasan) is an ikhwaanee…”

[Source: Siyaanatus salafi: page:534]

Verdict of Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi Against Abu Usaamah-The Greenlane Khateeb of desires

Sheikh Ahmad An-Najmi was asked on the 9th of January, 2003 the following question concerning Abu Usaamah Adh-Dhahabi:

Question:

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

Answer: “Your position on him is the same as your position on the people of innovation. Turn away from him and abandon him.” [Source: http://www.salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=6&Topic=1136]

Therefore, it is incumbent upon Naveed to stop fishing in the murky waters and honestly free himself from the hizbiyyoon and their obstinate followers @ Greenlane, Masjid As-Sunnah (Cheethamhill) and elsewhere. As his other calamities besides the ones related to Manhaj, see links:

Warning from those who oppose the Manhaj of the Salaf – Shaykh Al-Uthaymeen

Written by Amjad Khan on July 19, 2014. Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Articles, Deviated Callers & Individuals, Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Fatawa-Rulings, Innovations In Islam (Bidah), Methodology - 'Manhaj', Refutations, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Speaking about the people of innovation and those who carry unsound concepts or a methodology which is not upright, (then) this is from advice, and not backbiting.

Rather it is (an act of) sincerity to Allaah, His Book and His Messenger (by carrying out what is commanded and forbidding evil etc) and it is (act of sincerity) to the muslims (by giving them good advice).

So if we see an innovator spreading his innovation then it is obligatory that we make clear that he is an innovator so that the people are saved from his evil.

(Likewise) If we see an individual who has an ideology/concept opposing that which the Salaf were upon, then it is obligatory for us to clarify that so that people are not deceived by him.(Likewise) If we see a person who has a specific methodology (whose) outcome is evil then it is obligatory for us to clarify that so that the people are saved from his evil, and this (done) out of sincerity to Allaah, His Messenger and His Book; and it is sincerity to the rulers and their subjects (by giving good advice so that they saved from evil etc).

Regardless of whether speaking about the people of innovation is (done) amongst students (of knowledge) or in other gatherings, this is not backbiting.

And as long as we fear the spread of these innovations, or that concept or that methodology which is in opposition to the methodology of the Salaf; it is obligatory that we clarify so the people are not deceived by that.

The two lectures in the above links were delivered by Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah and Ustaadh Abdul Ilaah (may Allaah preserve them). Indeed, there is tremendous benefit in these lectures showing clearly the evil, distorted understanding, evil intentions, destructive views, false interpretations and devilish insinuations of the Khaarijite Renegades [Jihaadi Takfeeris -ISIS, Nusrah Front and those carrying their ideologies in the West and the Middle East]

We ask Allaah to reward Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah and Ustaadh Abdul Ilaah with abundant good in this life and the next; and we ask Allaah (The Most High) to reward all the students of knowledge and lecturers in the various SalafiCentres—those who stand firm in times of fitan, whilst clarifying the authentic Islamic Creed, the Sunnah of the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and understanding of the pious predecessors. And may Allaah (The Most High) reward our brothers @ Cardiff and Ustaadh Abu Abdillaah Hasan Somali for their endurance and striving. Aameen.
