[12] A Brief Look at Pseudo Researchers in Salafiyyah: [Examination of a Fabricated Quietist Faction Within Salafiyyah Called Mad’khalism]
In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
Imam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “If I had one supplication to be answered, I will not make it for none but the ruler because if the ruler is righteous, it will lead to the righteousness of the country and the people”. [Siyar A’laam An-Nubalaa 8/434]
The cretins stated: “As of early 2019, Madkhalists continue to be supported by the Saudi government and have found common cause with Libyan Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, who has been described as “Libya’s most potent warlord”, during the Second Libyan Civil War. Madkhalis have often found themselves supporting opposing political factions in Libya. This is due to the apparently contradictory fatwas issued by Rabee al-Madkhali, Muhammad bin Hadi al-Madkhali, and other Salafi scholars. One explanation for these different fatawa is that the Madkhalis will ally with whatever political faction gains more authority due to the Salafi principle of obeying the highest Muslim authority”. [End of quote]
First of all, as we have repeatedly established in this series, there is no such thing as a “Mad’khalist Movement or Strain” within Salafiyyah, rather, this term was concocted by those who want to vilify Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah protect him] because he rebutted and exposed those figureheads who attempted to undermine or falsify the sound Salafi Methodology. Second, a Salafi’s relationship with the Saudi government or any other Muslim government is solely dictated by the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah as it was understood and practiced by the Prophet’s companions. You must thus familiarise yourself with this principle in the following articles and may Allah bless Shaikh Abu Khadeejah and Shaikh Abu Iyaad for these beneficial clarifications.

Believer’s Bahaviour Towards Muslim Rulers – [Supplicates For Them….]
The cretins stated, “The Madkhalists (i.e. so-called Madkhalists) have found a common cause with Libyan Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, who has been described as “Libya’s most potent warlord”, during the Second Libyan Civil War”. [End of quote]
The damn liars either use confusing statements to keep people guessing, conceal the truth, or blend truth with untruth; so, we must reveal the truth behind Al-Allaamah Rabee’s advice to Libya’s Salafiyyoon. The Shaikh [may Allah preserve him] stated:
باسم الله، والحمد لله، والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم،
To proceed: I enjoin myself and the Muslims in general and the Salafis in particular, in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Libya, Morocco, Algeria, India, Pakistan, and other Muslim countries to fear Allah [The Mighty and Majestic] in secret and in public, and to adhere to the path and methodology of the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] based on the understanding of the (pious) predecessors of the Ummah. And I advise all the Salafis to be united (in faith) and forbearing (forgiving, tolerant) among themselves, and to put aside (blameworthy) differing and stay away from the causes of (blameworthy) disagreement, splitting, and dissension, and to leave everything that leads to them; for indeed, (blameworthy) differing weakens the Salafi ranks and is a cause of destruction and ruin of the Salafi call. Allah [The Exalted] says: [وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا – And hold firmly, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah (i.e. the Quran and the Sunnah), and do not be divided among yourselves (like the Jews and Christians divided into divergent sects). [Surah Al-Imran. Ayah 103] [Tafsir Al-Baghawi]
So, (in this Ayah) Allah commanded that we all hold on firmly (to the Qur’an and Sunnah) and then mentioned that there should be no division. It is incumbent on all Salafis to fear Allah [The Mighty and Majestic] and abandon all differences and their causes, come together, and be under one footing (in creed and methodology based on the Qur’an and Sunnah, as understood and practiced by the Prophet’s companions). Allah [The Mighty and Majestic] says: [وَلَا تَنَازَعُوا فَتَفْشَلُوا وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ – And do not dispute (with one another) lest you lose courage and your strength depart]. [Surah Al-An’faal. Ayah 46]
Dispute leads to a loss of courage and the disappearance of strength. It is incumbent upon the Salafis – Shaikhs, students of knowledge, and the youth – to call to the path of Allah based on the understanding of the (pious) predecessors of the Ummah. It is incumbent upon the Salafis in Libya to support the religion ordained by Allah [The Exalted] and protect it against “the Muslim Brotherhood (Sect)” and others because “the Muslim Brotherhood (Sect)” is the most dangerous sect against Islam since the establishment of the call of the Muslim Brotherhood. [Footnote a] They are the second-most-false sect after Rawaafid (in our era), and within them (that is, under the wing of this deviant sect are the concepts of the) unity of religions, Wahadatul Wujood, and secularism. [Footnote b] In a number of nations, governments have been set up for them, and they have not implemented Islamic law, which they have been humming about since the beginning of their call, and excommunicating leaders who do not rule by it (i.e., Islamic law). [Footnote c]
The individual known as Sadiq Al-Gharyaanee has threatened Benghazi, and he directs the youth to read Sayyid Qutb’s books, [Footnote d] which are full of great misguidance and include revilement of Allah’s Messenger Musa [peace be upon him] and some noble Sahaabah, as well as a statement (or idea) about Wahdatul Wujood, [Footnote e] and negation of Allah’s Attributes [Footnote f]
This (individual) Al-Gharyaanee threatens Benghazi (City) with war for no other reason than to fight the Salafis, (then), the Salafis must repel the aggression of the “Bankrupt Muslim Brotherhood (Sect)” and ensure that the Muslim Brotherhood (Sect) does not gain an advantage over Benghazi. The “Muslim Brotherhood Sect” portrays (themselves in the image of pure Islam or as callers to real Islam), but they are more dangerous to Salafis than Jews and Christians. ISIS was raised in Iran and is a faction of the “Muslim Brotherhood Sect.” They are the most detrimental group to the Salafis, excommunicating and killing them (i.e. killing the Salafis). [(1)] [End of quote]
This verdict of the Shaikh was as clear as the midday sun that the Salafis defend themselves against those among the Ikhwaanees and other deviant sects who desired to shed their blood, and so be it if this evil was to be repelled under the authority of Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar. What do the cretins expect from Al-Allaamah Rabee and other Salafi scholars who witnessed the year when, after the Russian Atheist Communist Army was defeated in Afghanistan, all the deviant sects attacked and murdered the Salafis for nothing other than the enmity they harboured against them for teaching Tawheed and Sunnah, repelling all that leads to deviation, sectarianism, bidah, and kufr, and all false methodologies! Read about this heart breaking incident in the link.
The cretins stated: “Madkhalis have often found themselves supporting opposing political factions in Libya. This is due to the apparently contradictory fatwas issued by Rabee al-Madkhali, Muhammad bin Hadi al-Madkhali, and other Salafi scholars. One explanation for these different fatawa is that the Madkhalis will ally with whatever political faction gains more authority due to the Salafi principle of obeying the highest Muslim authority”. [End of quote]
Once again, the burden of proof is on the claimant. The cretins must first provide precise details and clarification of incidents during the second Libyan civil strife, as well as specific Fatawaa issued by Al-Allaamah Rabee and others so that everything is understood in the context that it actually belongs in, as well as examined so that no one can claim that this or that Fatwa contradicts each other. Similarly, claiming that such and such supported, opposed, or changed his viewpoint is insufficient; rather, full information must be presented and statements scrutinised for context; otherwise, ambiguities, doubts, and a mixture of truth and untruth will prevail.
Then the cretins stated: “One explanation for these different fatawa is that the Madkhalis will ally with whatever political faction gains more authority due to the Salafi principle of obeying the highest Muslim authority”. [End of quote]
Once again, the burden of proof is on the claimant, where are the various Fatwas and who did the so-called Mad’khalis ally with? Second, the fact that Salafis obey the greatest Muslim authority must be explained, which is that every Muslim must obey Muslim rulers in good and not in sin, however, rulers are not rebelled against if they encourage sin. The Salafis are not chaotic, unpredictable, or hasty; rather, they follow the Qur’an, the authentic Sunnah, and the Ijmaa (scholarly consensus), and they apply this principle in all eras and places. Every Muslim should be aware that rebellion against Muslim rulers is prohibited, and those who engage in rebellion should be dealt with by the authorities rather than aided in their sin, as Abdullah Bin Amr Bin Al-Aas [may Allah be pleased with him] reported that Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “He who gives the oath of allegiance to a Caliph should give him the pledge of his hand and the sincerity of his heart (i.e. do so both outwardly as well as inwardly). He should obey him to the best of his capacity. If another man comes forward (as a claimant to the Caliphate), disputing his authority, they (the Muslims) should behead the latter. [The one who heard this hadith from Abdullah Bin Amr said: ‘I came close to him and said to him: Can you say on oath that you heard it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?] He (Abdullah) pointed with his hands to his ears and his heart and said, ‘My ears heard it and my mind retained it'”. [Sahih Muslim 1844]
However, if someone rebels against a Muslim ruler and is fought, but succeeds in taking control of the government’s machinery, then this is a situation in which the scholars have provided clear guidance to protect the lives and honour of the populace. Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajar [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated, “The jurists unanimously agreed that it is obligatory to obey the Sultaan who gained authority through overpowering (others until all the apparatus of government comes under his authority in a country or region) and to perform Jihaad alongside him and that obedience to him (in what is good) is better than revolting against him because it prevents bloodshed and calms the masses”. [(2)]
The Ikhwaanees and their ilk are well aware that the Salafis do not engage in rebellion or seek to establish themselves in power, but they still have the audacity to criticise the Salafis for defending themselves or taking the moral course that protects the honour and blood of a nation’s citizens during times of unrest. Indeed, following this clarification, it is very evident that the writers at Wikipedia and others of their ilk are nothing more than shameless pseudo-researchers, compulsive liars, and outright purveyors of falsehood. May Allah guide them or break their backs Aameen.
