Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) stated in As-Sawaa-iq Al-Mursala 3/1038 about Bishr Al-Marreesee a head of the Mutazilah that he said to his companions: ”If they (i.e. Ahlus Sunnah) bring evidence against you by way of the Qur’an, then seek to prove them wrong by way of erroneous interpretation. And if they bring evidence against you by way of the narrations (of the Messenger), then repel those narrations through disconfirmation.”
Imaam Dhahabi (rahimahullaah) stated in Siyar from Abdur-Rahmaan Ibn Mahdi (rahimahullaah) from Taawoos (rahimahullaah) who said: I heard Ibraaheem Ibn Adham (rahimahullaah) saying: ”A person who loves fame cannot be truthful to Allaah’’

Halabi’s state of affairs exploded when he authored his book titled Manhajus Salaf As-Saalih in 1429AH to wage a so called war against ”Those who exceed the limits when criticising others”; however in reality this book manifested the corrupt principles he used to hide from the Salafis, which he established in order to decfend the people of innovation and aid the Manhaj of Tamyee. This Manhaj of Tamyee was firstly established by Abul Hasan Al-Maribi (The Innovator), but Halabi completed it.
Therefore, Shaikh Rabee and his students refuted and warned against Halabi’s book but they refrained from declaring him an innovator. Then Halabi and his students set up a website to wage war against Shaikh Rabee and his students, and they were accompanied by some of the people of ignorance and desires who raised his status. They went into extremes in speaking ill of the Salafi Scholars of this era and described them with the ugliest descriptions. They also propagated the doubts of ikhwaan al-Muslimeen and that of the illegal partisans until this website became a place for some of the deviants and the people of Tamyee; and until one could not notice a big difference between it and the websites of the ikhwaan al-Muslimeen and the people of illegal partisanship; and until he manifested an affair which no truthful salafi can ignore – his praise of the Book titled ‘Risaalatu Amaan’ a book that contained statements concerning Wahdatul Adyaan [the call to the unity of Religions].
So the Salafis refuted Halabi for praising this Book and clarified the severity of the affair. However, his students defended and praised the book, and they warned against those who refuted it. Then Halabi agreed with his students in their defence of the book and this was a great catastrophe. Then Shaikh Rabee warned against Halabi and declared him an innovator.

Halabi Defended Those Who Were Refuted For Their deviations
Observations were made concerning the state of affairs of Usaamah Qoosee, Abu Ishaaq Al-Huwaynee, Muhammad Hassaan and Muhammad Husain Yaqoob; but even before a group of people rallied behind them and listened to them, they did utter statements indicating their deviation from the Salafi Manhaj. Therefore, the Salafis demanded from them a recantation from these deviations, but they did not; rather they launched a war against those Salafi Scholars who refuted them.
Then Ali Halabi and his companions at Markaz Imaam Albaanee did nothing but join the ranks of these people in opposing Shaikh Rabee and his brothers amongst the Salafi scholars. He did this under the false pretence of pursuing the middle path and that they were waging war against Extremism in the affair of Criticism and declaring people innovators without a justified reason. So Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi stopped him and Mash-hoor Hasan in their tracks by refuting and warning against them. Likewise, Shaikh Ubaid did the same. As for Shaikh Rabee, he exercised a lot of patience towards Halabi and his companions and advised them repeatedly. He advised them repeatedly despite the fact that they did utter unbefitting statements against him. However, he still gave them a final advice in his house but it did not benefit them.
Then a hidden affair became manifested and that was the connection between Markaz Imaam Albaanee and the organisation Ihyaa Turaath—that organization well known for hizbiyyah, politics, its Qutbi orientation and affiliation with one of the heads of innovation of this era known as Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul Khaaliq.

Al-Allaamah Al-Izz Bin Abdis Salaam (rahimahullaah) said: Had it not been for the appointment of a ruler, the beneficial universal affairs would have been lost, universal corruption would have become the reality, the strong would have overcome the weak and the (immoral) lowly ones would have overcome the noble (mannered) ones.
Shaikh Abdus-Salaam Burgess (rahimahullaah) said: The explanation of this is that the majority of the children of Adam are inclined towards injustice and love of vengeance. And had it not been that there was a ruler who administers their affairs, they would have become like the beasts of the wild and fish of the sea—the strong eats the weak.

Shaikh Raslaan (may Allaah preserve him) said:
The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) was sent within circumstances concerning which a Muslim cannot say: ”Indeed, the circumstances in which we live in more evil and more deprave in its depravity than (the circumstances in which the Prophet was sent).” (That is) because the Prophet (salal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) was sent to a disbelieving people and he guided them through one way and one path-to worship one Lord, one God, The Perfect Lord and Master upon Whom all the creation depends and He is self-sufficient, The Unique One in His Names, Attributes and Actions. There is neither another true God (worthy of worship) besides Him nor another true Lord (i.e. the creator, provider and controller of the affairs of the creation) besides Him.
Therefore, the path [of Prophet-salal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam in calling to Allaah in those circumstances] was one, and it path the (way) that the Messengers brought. The Prophet (salal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) called the Ummatud Dawah (i.e. the nation that had not yet accepted the message of Islaam) to that which is obligatory for today’s Ummatul Ijaabah (i.e. the nation that has already accepted the call of Islaam) to call to.

”A man who used to speak to the Jinn informed us that they (i.e. the Jinn) said: ”There is none more severe upon us than the one who follows the Sunnah. As for the people of desires (i.e. the innovators), we play about with them.”
[Source: Talbees Iblees of Imaam Ibnul Jawzee (rahimahullaah) with the checking of Al-Allaamah Zaid Bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee (may Allaah preserve him) Page: 43]
Al-Allaama Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madhalee (may Allaah preserve him) said:
I remember we were on a journey to one of the Arab countries-unfortunately-and arrived at one of the hotels; then we said, ”direct us to a restaurant”, and they directed us to what they claim was the best restaurant. We sat down and got the menu list and in it was alcohol and swine meat. So we said to the one who gave us the menu list: ”Are you a Muslim?” He said: ”Yes, I am a Muslim.” We said: ”How can you serve alcohol and swine meat to diners?” He said: ”This is my sustenance and from where would I eat then?” We said to him: ”your sustenance is with Allaah (Glorified and Exalted Be He). Indeed Allaah has guaranteed your sustenance and the doors of sustenance are open, so fear Allaah.” And we advised him in every way.
The testimony (in this incident) is that some of the Muslims work in some of the hotels in which there is alcohol and they serve swine meat. This is in an Islamic land (in which) alcohol and swine meat are served, so how about those who travel to Europe? I believe that many of them may work in these hotels, serving swine meat to those who eat it amongst the sinful Muslims, the Muslim evil doers and the disbelievers. This is from the greatest affairs of wrongdoing and from the greatest of the major sins, and it may be a means to an evil end (in this life). And Allaah’s protection is sought.
”We do not have time to defend ourselves; but we (defend) the Sunnah. And even if we are tormented with fierce battle we will not leave anyone who speaks against the Sunnah of the Messenger (Sallal-laahu-alayhi- wa-alaa-aalihi-wasallam) — be he a Shia, or a Soofee or from Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen (i.e. the deviated and destructive innovated Muslim brotherhood of Egypt and else- where); because we are to sacrifice (ourselves) for the Sunnah and our objective is the Sunnah.”
