Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said at the end of his life: ”I regret losing most of my time in other than the meanings (or explanations) of the Qur’aan.”

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
”The truthful heart is filled with the light of truthfulness alongside the light of Eemaan.” [Madaarij As-Saalikeen: 2/282]
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
O people! Fear Allaah (The Most High) and thank Him for the apparent and unapparent blessings He has bestowed upon you. He has not ceased granting you occasions of good and virtue. The month of hajj has elapsed and now you have reached the month of Al-Muharram, which Allaah has specially chosen.
Firstly: Muharram is amongst those months in which Allaah made fighting forbidden. Allaah (The Most High) said:
(إِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُورِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْراً فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ)
‘’ Verily, the number of months with Allah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are Sacred.’’ [9:36]
These four months are: Dhul Qida, Dhul Hijja, the Month of Muharram and Rajab—Allaah made fighting forbidden during these months in order that those who performed the Hajj and Umrah are safe in their journey to Hajj and Umrah. However, when Islaam came—all praise is due to Allaah—safety became widespread and the disbelievers were driven away and Jihaad in the path of Allaah (The Might and Majestic) was established whenever that was possible.
Indeed this month of Muharram has virtue; the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ‘’The best fasting after the month of Ramadhaan is the fasting in the month of Muharram.’’ So it is desired to increase in fasting during this month. It is the month that the companions—during Umar’s time (radiyallaahu-anhu)—chose to be the beginning of the Hijri calendar.
Virtues of the Month of Muharram
Amongst its greatest virtues is that the Day of Ashoorah is found within it. It is a Day in which the Prophet (sallal-laahua-alayhi-wasallam) selected for the performance of fasting. Likewise, Moosaa (alayhis-sallam) fasted on this day in order to thank Allaah for drowning pharaoh and his people. And after the death of Moosa (alayhis-salaam), the Jews also used to fast on this day of Ashoorah.
When the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) arrived in Madeenah, he found the Jews fasting on this day of Ashoorah, so he said to them: ‘’What is this fasting of yours?’’ They said: ‘’It was the day Allaah gave victory to Moosa and his people and humiliated pharaoh and his people. Indeed, Moosaa fasted on this Day, so we also fast. So the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: We have more right to (follow) Moosaa than you.’’
The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) continuously fasted this day and commanded the companions to fast as well. However, the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) want us to oppose the Jews, so he commanded us to fast a day before Ashoorah (i.e. the 9th of Muharram) before fasting on the 10th (i.e. Day of Ashoorah); and it is stated in another narration: ‘’A day after it (i.e. a day after Ashoorah); but fasting on the 9th day of Muharram before fasting the 10th of Al-Muharram (i.e. the day of Ashoorah) is more established.
So we fast on the day of Ashoorah (i.e. the 10th of Muharram) in order to follow the example of Allaah’s Prophet Moosaa (alayhis-salaam), and it was the day in which Allaah gave victory to the Muslims (of Bani Israaeel). It is victory for the Muslims until the Day of Judgement and a blessing from Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic) for which He is thanked through the act of fasting.
Fasting on the Day of Ashoorah is a Sunnah Mu-akkadah [i.e. a practice the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) performed continuously). Therefore, the Muslim fasts on the 9th of Muharram and the 10th of Muharram, and this is a Sunnah that has continued—all praise is due to Allaah—and fasting on this day is emphasized, whilst seeking Allaah’s reward and in order to thank Him.
The way of the Prophets and their true followers is that they thank Allaah for giving them victory through performance of acts of obedience and remembrance of Allaah. However, they do not innovate anything in this affair because that was the way of the people of the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance. It is not permissible for a Muslim to exceed the limits in this affair.
As for the shia, they make the Day of Ashoorah a Day of sadness, weeping and wailing—may Allaah disfigure them—because it was the day Husain (radiyallaahu-anhu) who was murdered. Indeed calamity is not to be faced with wailing, sins and evil deeds; rather it should be faced with obedience to Allaah and hoping for Allaah’s reward. There is no doubt that the killing of Husain (radiyallaahu-anhu) was a calamity, but Allaah commanded us to exercise patience and hope for His reward during calamities. What is legislated on this Day of Ashoorah is that we fast and there should be no newly invented matters in the religion.
Likewise, there are those ignorant ones amongst the Sunnis who consider this Day as a day of happiness and some of them call it the New Year; so they behave generously towards their children, serving them food and bestowing gifts to one another. Indeed, these affairs are innovations and newly invented matters in the religion, and they are not permissible. This action of those ignorant Sunnis is the other side of falsehood compared to the actions of the shia! The shia grieve and the ignorant Sunnis display happiness. Do they (i.e. these ignorant Sunni) show happiness for murder of Husain (radiyallaahu-anhu), because this ignorant act will be considered as a manifestation of happiness due to the murder of Husain (radiyallaahu-anhu) on this Day. Therefore, it is obligated upon the Muslim to follow the Sunnah and abandon innovations in the religion. Innovations in the religion are not opposed with other innovations worse than them; rather innovations are opposed by abandoning them and reviving the Sunnah.

Shaikh Muhammed ibn Haadee (may Allaah preserve him) was asked whether the ruling of at-Tirmidhee when he makes a hadeeth “Saheeh” can be relied up. He answered: At-Tirmidhee’s rulings of Saheeh upon a hadeeth are stronger than his Hasan rulings. Also, he has been described as somewhat lenient. So when looking at Imaam at-Tirmidhee one should look to see who agrees with him from the well-known and bonafide scholars of hadeeth. [Source: https://twitter.com/AbuKhadeejahSP]
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
The brothers at Al-Markaz As-Salafi (Manchester) complained to Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah when Mourad became adamant in his oppressive behaviour, extremism, arrogance, exaggerations, false defence of the hajaawira, doubts and attacks against some of the Mashaayikh; so Ustaadh (may Allaah preserve him) replied, saying:
I pray you are well and in strength of Imaan, may Allāh preserve you upon the Sunnah.
Muraad’s call is to himself – he uses the veil of Salafiyyah and radd upon the Mukhaalif as his claim to be a vanguard of Salafiyyah, but he is (in reality) affected by a type of extremism that is contrary to the correct understanding of the principles of Salafiyyah– and this goes back some years.
He is a conspiracist who believes he has ‘ability and skills’ that no one in the UK possesses. He operates with a ‘cloak and dagger’ manhaj–if he sees even a crack where he can cause discord (even in affairs of tolerated ijtihaad), he turns it into a huge fitnah. I truly believe he is an ignorant loud-mouth who likes attention, good or bad (he doesn’t mind). I also believe, based upon his actions that he lacks sincerity. I remember his ignorance coming to the surface when he accused SPubs of wahdatul-adyaan several years ago. Tawbah? Not a chance! – He doesn’t know the meaning of what it means to be humble!
I believe I’ve known him longer than all of you – Allaah knows best– from Jimas days. I can truly say that this man is a person who has rancour and hatred for anyone who does not give him limelight, good or bad–as long as he is at the centre of attention. Swallowing his pride is close to impossible! This is how he works: Step 1: Prove that he’s a vanguard and protector of the da’wah – how? Refute the Shi’ah, the soofees, HT, and the Hizbees (Turaath etc). Step 2: Use that as the stage to gather youth around him. Step 3: Once these youth are convinced that Muraad is the “true” defender of salafiyyah, he informs them of the Salafis who are “really under cover hizbees” against whom he has “hidden files” that one day he will expose for the world to see! Step 4: Get these youth to start the campaign. Step 5: Play the victim, “I am calling to the truth and these people don’t want it, so they oppose me” – so his campaign goes into high gear, and so on.
So best thing, tell the people he’s an ignoramus who feigns knowledge and uses his enmity against the Ahlul-Bid’ah as a launch-pad against the Salafis – same as the Haddaadiyyah! Not a single Salafi student of knowledge in the UK [i.e. those in the various Maraakiz known for their lessons, dawah efforts and connection with the scholars] has been with this foolish man for many years! That says a lot itself!
Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali (may Allaah preserve him) stated:
”Warn against Mourad Jaza’iree from Manchester: That he speaks ill of Shaikh Ubaid & Shaikh Bukhaaree & defends Hajooree.”
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
These are testimonies of the truthful and righteous Imaams of the Sunnah, which can neither be affected by the slanders of the sinful ones nor by the lies of the evil ones, such as the likes of Ali Al-Halabi—the ignoramus—and his misguided party. How many fabrications and lies do they have against Ahlus Sunnah in general and against Shaikh Rabee in particular! And from those (fabrications and lies of theirs ) is that they accuse Shaikh Rabee of ignorance, self-contradictory, having changes in his (Manhaj) and other lies which they have perpetrated upon the path of the people of desires. When they became unable to confront the clear proofs and manifest evidences, they resorted to these despicable and disgraceful paths. By Allaah they have lied, for indeed the senior scholars have testified a lot for Shaikh Rabee that he is a possessor of knowledge and that he is well grounded in it; and that he is an upright person; steadfast; an aider of the Salafi Creed and a defender of those who call to the Salafi Creed; and that he is a person who repels falsehood and its people with manifest evidences.
The writer (may Allaah preserve him) said:
Our Shaikh Rabee has been praised by his teachers and brothers; they have described him with great and noble characteristics, and from those descriptions is that he upon the path of the pious predecessors – in creed and action.
His Shaikh, Al-Allaamah Ubaidullaah Ar-Rahmaani Al-Mubaarakfooree (rahimahullah) said: “He (i.e. Shaikh Rabee) has sat and conversed with me regarding the affairs of knowledge. He also came to Mubaarakfoor several times and met me in my house, and indeed I found him to be in possession of abundant knowledge and great virtue–a person possessing sound understanding and an upright nature upon the path of the pious predecessors (may Allaah be pleased with them) in creed and action; a follower of the Book and the Sunnah; a supporter and defender of the Book and Sunnah–harsh against the people of innovations and desires, and a rebutter of the blind followers…..up until the Shaikh Al-Mubaarakfooree said: ‘’May Allaah bless him (i.e. Shaikh Rabee) in his knowledge and gratify the Muslims with a long life span for him.
Al-Allaamah Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah)
When one of the students of knowledge said to Al-Allaamah Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz: ‘’O Shaikh! Shaikh Rabee speaks ill of such and such, and he speaks ill of the callers;” so Al-Allaamah Bin Baaz replied to him, saying: ‘’Fear Allaah, the man (i.e. Shaikh Rabee) is an Imaam in the Sunnah.”
Al-Allaamah Bin Baaz also said: “Shaikh Rabee is from the best of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaa’ah and it is well known that he is from Ahlus Sunnah. His writings and statements are well known.
Shaikh Rabee’s Shaikh Al-Allaamah Ahmad Bin Yahyah An-Najmi (rahimahullaah) said: ‘’Shaikh Rabee is a mujaahid and may Allaah reward him. I am jealous of him due to his jihaad in spreading the Sunnah and in subduing bidah and its people, and due to his concern for the Sunnah and its dissemination in every way he is able….
Al-Allaamah Muhammad Bin Abdullaah As-Subayyil (rahimahullah) said: His (i.e. Shaikh Rabee) is the Salafi creed and he is from the best of the people, and none speaks against him except a person of desires and illegal partisanship.
Al Allaamah Muhammad Bin Saalih al Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said: Shaikh Rabee is from the scholars of the Sunnah and the people of good. His creed is sound and his Manhaj is upright.
Al Allaamah Muqbil Bin Haadi al Waadi’ee (rahimahullaah) said: Shaikh Rabee is a sign from the signs of Allaah with regards to his (i.e. Shaikh Rabee’s) knowledge about the people of illegal partisanship; but not like the Iranian signs–the Dajjaaleen (i.e. the liars/imposters of the iranian shee-ah raafidah with their claims to supreme religious leadership despite being callers to major shirk–worship of the dead, graves, shrines, tombs; cursing the companions and other filthy beliefs)
To be continued….Inshaa-Allaah

Reminder:
In 2002 Brixton Admin clung to the Jordanians, whilst they defended the Ikhwaani innovator Al-Maribi. Once again Brixton Admin are openly defending Ali Al-Halabi after he innovated in the Religion of Allaah (The Most High). The articles on this link http://salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=21&Topic=468 will show the reader the affair of Brixton’s Admin from the early days. On the other hand, the article is enough as a warning to all of us, regarding the danger of persisting upon falsehood and turning away from truth after clarification is given to distinguish between the two.
Finally, see this article as a reminder http://salaficentre.com/2013/10/5-o-you-who-believe-answer-allaah-and-his-messenger/ and may Allaah return Brixton to the truth and free their hearts from the traps of the innovators– Ali Halabi, Abul Hasan Al-Maribi and Muhammad Al-Maghraawi.
