In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Allah [The Exalted] said:

يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّٲمِينَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ شُہَدَآءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَوِ ٱلۡوَٲلِدَيۡنِ وَٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَ‌ۚ إِن يَكُنۡ غَنِيًّا أَوۡ فَقِيرً۬ا فَٱللَّهُ أَوۡلَىٰ بِہِمَا‌ۖ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ أَن تَعۡدِلُواْ‌ۚ وَإِن تَلۡوُ ۥۤاْ أَوۡ تُعۡرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرً۬ا

O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah; even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allah is a Better Protector to both (than you). So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do. [Surah An-Nisaa. Ayah 135]

The deceivers at Wikipedia stated: “Relations with governments of countries which are Muslim but not Arab have not always been as smooth. Both Madkhali brothers actively encouraged Muslims inside and outside of Indonesia to join the armed Maluku sectarian conflict which continued from the late 1990s until the early 2000s. In the year 2000, Muhammad al-Madkhali went so far as to declare the prohibition of jihad by then Indonesian President Abdurrahman Wahid, himself an internationally recognized Islamic scholar, as being contrary to sharia law”. [End of quote]

Response: 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, the deceivers have not named those non-Arab Muslim governments that have a negative relationship with the so-called Mad’khalists! Third, what was the dispute between the Indonesian government and the so-called Mad’khalists?! Who are the Mad’khali brothers and what specifically did they say to actively push Muslims inside and outside of Indonesia to engage in a violent sectarian conflict? Who were the specific individuals involved, and what were their views and remarks, so that everything is understood in its proper context? What was that precise Muhammad al-Mad’khali’s declaration, and why did he forbid Jihad in Indonesia?! The deceivers have not provided any detail even though Al-Allaamah Rabee’s Fataawaa are well-known. In addition the Salafiyyoon are well-known and distinct from Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen (The Muslim Brotherhood Sect), Hizbiyyoon (Illegal Partisans), and Takfeeris (ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Quutibies, Suroorees, and their ilk) in these countries; thus, anyone attempting to use the fictitious Mad’khali label to criticise Salafiyyoon must provide specific details. Dr. Shaikh Abu Iyaad [may Allah preserve him] demonstrates why it is very important to clarify and make this distinction. He said, “Salafis are the target of sectarian bias and bigotry for many factions, from them the Raafidah, Soofiyyah, Kharijites and Takfiris, the blind-followers of the madhaahib, Secularists, Modernists, and many others. As such there is a lot of propaganda in the field which is unfortunately entered into what is claimed to be “objective research”. To make matters more confusing is the presence of numerous orientations falsely ascribing to Salafiyyah despite their deviations from it in their foundations and methodologies. Many of the takfiri, and Khariji groups make this false ascription. This adds another layer of confusion to anyone wanting to research and understand Salafiyyah and leads to Salafis being wrongly attributed to the iniquities of the Takfiris and Kharijites. In light of all of these realities, this website aims to provide relevant information and critical evaluation and analysis of the various views and opinions that are being scattered in books, journals, blogs, websites, audios, and videos in relation to “Salafis” and “Salafiyyah”. http://www.salafis.com/index.cfm

Fourth, even if a writer explicitly identified and defined a group and then asserted that it supported or disagreed with a specific government without providing any additional information, their argument would still be rejected; therefore, what credibility is left for a writer whose claims are based on illusions that his or her criticism is directed at a group called Mad’khalists (i.e. so-called Mad’khalists) or an individual who founded the Mad’khalist thought, in addition to the fact that such a writer is either uninformed or frantically seeking to damage the reputation of Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah protect him], who refuted and exposed all those who seek to undermine Salafiyyah? Indeed, full details must be provided and statements examined for their contexts, otherwise, ambiguities, doubts, and a mixture of truth and falsehood would prevail, or the reader is left in one of the following situations: the lack of certainty in comprehending the reality of those statements, positions, and circumstances, the lack of wholesome comprehension, comprehending in a way contrary to its true reality, believing that he comprehends while being unaware of something else that should make one realise that he is mistaken, or, one assume that he is well-informed, even though he has overlooked information that contradicts what he believes to be true, or he bases his understanding on ambiguity, even though something else was present that is very clear and contradicts his understanding, but he remains in a state of speculation and misguidance, either due to being unaware or duped by the cretins, damn liars, and pseudo-researchers at Wikipedia and elsewhere.

Only dishonest and pseudo-researchers, as well as their comrades among ideologies, demagogues, and rabble-rousers, hide their identify or refuse to give specifics out of fear of being challenged, so they transmit ambiguities and leave the reader to guess. “Saasai Wahud Dega, Wai Yaa Khana khell – the seducer has not spoken the truth, but he has ruined the thoughts,” our mothers [may Allah have mercy upon them] used to say in the Wollof language. As a result, you will discover that sometimes pseudo-writers and researchers utilise sophistry or big words to conceal the fact that they are unskilled or emotionally unstable in their study of the subject matter. Research in matters pertaining to religion and creed demands fear of Allah, honesty, and detailed proofs rather than simply “Abdullah went to Serekunda and returned to Bakoteh” and what transpired in between is kept secret from the investigators, despite the fact that they want to hold him responsible for a something based on assumptions, conflicting witnesses, mistaken identities, rumours, etc. Al-Allaamah Abdur Rahmaan Bin Yahyah Al-Mu’allimee [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated: “To oppose desires for the sake of the truth -in affairs of knowledge and creed- can indeed be difficult to accomplish, therefore it requires (sincere) research and contemplation. And in this regard, one is in need of asking the scholars and benefiting from them, adhering to fear of Allaah, seeking the Tawfeeq of Allaah and guidance”. https://salaficentre.com/2021/12/29/some-reasons-behind-persistence-upon-error/

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “It is incumbent upon you to provide details and differentiation because unrestricted and general (statements) without clarity have corrupted this existence (i.e. the world) and misguided the intellects and viewpoints (of the people) in every era”. Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] commented as follows, “There has to be a thorough explanation. The person who is not skilled at providing information should remain silent because his discourse provides no benefit. And every time an error occurs, it is caused by a lack of a clear explanation of truth and falsehood. There must be a thorough explanation and distinction, with no confusion. Indeed, an opponent’s speech may contain both truth and falsehood, therefore it is not deemed entirely false or true, however, there must be a distinction between its truth and falsehood. All of it is neither rejected nor accepted; rather, a distinction is established between the truth and what is correct and the falsehood and error in it. And if you are not skilled at providing details, you should not engage in this field”. [An Excerpt from At-Ta’leeqaat Al-Mukhtasar Alaa Al-Qaseedah an-Nooniyyah. 1/216. Slightly paraphrased]

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Samura Bin Jundub [may Allah be pleased with him] said: The Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “I saw (in a dream), two men came to me.” Then the Prophet narrated the story (saying), “They said, ‘The person, the one whose cheek you saw being torn away (from the mouth to the ear) was a liar and used to tell lies and the people would report those lies on his authority till they spread all over the world. So he will be punished like that till the Day of Resurrection”. [(1)]

The cretins stated: “Madkhalism is often compared to Wahhabism, sharing a number of tenets with the wider movement. Media analysts have warned against generalizing such Islamists movements despite their differences, however. Madkhali has borrowed heavily from elder Salafist scholar Muhammad Nasiruddin al-Albani; Madkhali adopted more extreme positions than Albani in his teaching according to Qutbi clerics, (I) however, and Madkhalists were dismayed when Albani praised clerics Safar Al-Hawali and Salman al-Ouda”. [End of quote]

First of all, there is no such thing as “Mad’khalism, (II) let alone another so-called movement compared to it called Wahhabism, (III) as we have consistently demonstrated in this series. Indeed, similar to how Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi al-Mad’khali’s opponents concocted the term “Mad’khalism” to express their disapproval of him for rebutting their misguided figureheads, opponents of Imaam Muhammad Ibn Abdil Wahhaab concocted the term “Wahhabism” to express their disapproval of him for urging his generation to stop worshipping the dead in the graves and devote all acts of worship to Allah alone. Neither has Al-Allaamah Rabee started a movement nor did Imaam Muhammad Ibn Abdil Wahhaab, rather, they both called for adherence to the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah as it was understood and practiced by the companions of the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him]. As a result, those who know the truth do not give any consideration to what analysts have to say about this affair because the vast majority of them are either demagogues, ideologues, or pseudo-researchers.

It is true that groups that ascribe to Islam must be distinguished, however, this task can only be accomplished by someone who is honest as well as informed about what the Qur’an and Sunnah have ordained in terms of beliefs and methodology, as well as the path of the Prophet’s companions; then he can determine which groups, parties, or sects have diverged from Aqeedah and methodology of the Prophet’s companions. It is not enough to only know differences while being unaware of the one and only correct path among those differences. Allah [The Exalted] said: [ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ وَلِتَسْتَبِينَ سَبِيلُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ – And thus do We explain the signs (to you O Muḥammad) in detail, and so that the way of the criminals may become evident (to you)] [Surah Al-An’aam. Aayah 55] (a)

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said: ‘Those who know Allah, His Book, and His Religion are acquainted with the paths of believers and criminals; the two paths are clearly visible to them, just as a path heading to its destination and a path leading to destruction is made visible. They are the most knowledgeable among the creation–the ones who benefit (the people) the most, provide the most valuable advice, and are evidence of upright guidance. This is why the Sahaabah have excelled over all others who will come after them till the Day of Judgement, because they were raised on the path of misguidance, shirk, and routes leading to destruction, and they were well aware of them. Then the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] came to them and guided them out of darkness into perfect light–from shirk (polytheism) to Tawheed (true Islamic Monotheism); from ignorance to knowledge, misguidance into guidance, injustice into justice, confusion and blindness into guidance and clear-sightedness. They had the most in-depth understanding of the path. As for those who came after the Sahaabah, among them, is one who was raised in Islam yet does not know what is opposed to it. As a result, some of the details of the believers’ and criminals’ paths became confusing to him, because confusion occurs due to the weakness of one’s knowledge about both or one of them. In this subject, there are four types of people.

The first group is those who have a thorough understanding of both the criminal and believer paths, both in terms of knowledge and action. Among the creation, they are the most knowledgeable. The second group is those who resemble animals and are blind to both paths. They encounter the criminal’s path and follow it. The third group is those who are interested in learning about the believers’ path rather than its antithesis. He just has a general understanding of (the criminals’ path) and only understands it in relation to how it differs from (the believers’ path), and he maintains that everything that differs from the believers’ path is incorrect, even though he doesn’t get a full explanation of that. Instead, he tends to ignore information that runs counter to the method of the believers and does not spend time trying to understand or recognise its falsity. The fourth group knows the path of evil, bidah, and kufr, as well as the path of believers in general. This is the situation of many people who are interested in the beliefs of earlier nations and the people of bidah (proponents of religious innovation). They are acquainted with (these affairs) in detail, but not with what the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] conveyed; rather they are acquainted with it in general even though they may know some of its affairs in detail. [(b)]

Indeed, many of those who conduct research on Salafiyyah do not know what really opposes it, and as a result, some of the details related to the Salafi path and the path of the false claimants to Salafiyyah are confusing to them due to a lack of detailed knowledge about both or one of them. Furthermore, even if they know some of the deviated sects in detail, they either miss or misunderstand the guidance regarding this specific subject matter as conveyed in the Qur’an, the authentic Sunnah, and the understanding of the Messenger’s companions, so they either reach the wrong conclusions or fail to accurately describe every group.

The cretins also mentioned the term Islamist, which according to many Western ideologues, demagogues, rabble-rousers, and writers, is “a person who believes strongly in Islam, especially one who believes that Islam should influence political systems, an advocate or supporter of Islamic militancy or fundamentalism, radical Islamists”. Indeed, this definition contains both truth and falsehood, therefore let us examine the affair briefly. https://salaficentre.com/2022/12/06/islamist-and-islamic-fundamentalism-according-to-their-own-definitions/

The cretins stated: “Madkhali has borrowed heavily from elder Salafist scholar Muhammad Nasiruddin al-Albani; Madkhali adopted more extreme positions than Albani in his teaching according to Qutbi clerics, however, and Madkhalists were dismayed when Albani praised clerics Safar Al-Hawali and Salman al-Ouda”. [End of quote]

This is yet another desperate attempt by the damn liars to portray Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] and Imaam al-Albaanee [may Allah have mercy upon him] as two people who share certain similarities while propagating the myth that Al-Allaamah Rabee is an extremist. However, read what Imaam al-Albani had to say about Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali’s refutations of the Qutubies and others. https://www.themadkhalis.com/md/articles/iosjk-imaam-al-albani-to-shaykh-rabee-everything-with-which-you-refuted-qutb-for-is-correct-and-true.cfm

The cretins commit yet another fraud in their statement regarding Imaam Al-Albaani’s praise for Safar and Salmaan because, in the first place, scholars praise someone else based on what is apparent, however, this does not imply that the person who received the praise is worthy of the praise if there is evidence from another scholar to prove that this person is a proponent of misguidance. This is why Imaam Al-Albaanee [may Allah have mercy upon him] delivered his final verdict when the reality of these people became more apparent to him. So, when the Imaam was asked about the book “Dhahiratul-Irjaa Fil Fikr al-Islami” authored by misguided political activist Safar Al-Hawali, and in this book, Takfir is issued against Muslims for committing certain sins, the Imaam responded as follows, “I gave my viewpoint on a matter about thirty or so years ago when I used to be in the [Islamic] University (of Madinah) and I was asked in a gathering about my opinion on Jamaa’at ut-Tabligh. So I said on that day, ‘They are the Sufis of this era’. And now it has occurred to me that I should say about this Jamaa’ah who have emerged in the present times and who have opposed the Salaf, I say here, in accordance with the statement of al-Hafidh adh-Dhahabi: They have opposed the Salaf in much of the issues of manhaj, and it is befitting that I label them the Khawarij of the era. And this resembles their emergence at the current time – in which we read their statements – because they, in reality, their words take the direction and objective of that of the Khawarij in performing takfir of the one who commits major sins. And perhaps I should say, this is either due to ignorance on their behalf or due to a devised plot!! And I say this in light of [the statement of Allah], “Let not the hatred of a people make you depart from justice. Be just and fair and that is closer to taqwa”. I do not know whether they say that every major sin takes one outside the fold of Islaam! However, they always revolve around certain major sins but remain silent or just pass by other major sins! And for this reason, I do not see that we should make this label absolute and that we should say, ‘They are Khawarj’, except for certain aspects. And this is the justice that we have been ordered to abide by…” [Cassette: The Surooriyyah are the Khawarij of the Era, end of the first side]

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.

Brief Acquaintance With Afghani Scholar, Shaikh Jameel Ar-Rahmaan – (By Shaikh Abdullah Al-Bukhaari), and a Claim of The Astray Groups After Murdering Him – (By Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadi)

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.

[(2)]: Al-Fath 7/13]

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Samura Bin Jundub [may Allah be pleased with him] said: The Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “I saw (in a dream), two men came to me.” Then the Prophet narrated the story (saying), “They said, ‘The person, the one whose cheek you saw being torn away (from the mouth to the ear) was a liar and used to tell lies and the people would report those lies on his authority till they spread all over the world. So he will be punished like that till the Day of Resurrection”. [(1)]

The pseudo researchers at Wikipedia stated: “Another break between Madkhalists and the mainstream of purist Salafism has been the reaction to the Arab Spring. While most purist Salafists initially opposed both the Libyan Civil War and the Syrian Civil War, eventually they threw their support behind the opposition in both cases due to the extreme violence on the part of the Gaddafi and Assad regimes; the Madkhalists attacked the mainstream purists for these stances”. [End of quote]

The so-called terms “Madkhalists” and “Mainstream Purist Salafists” is desperately used by many damn liars to conceal their fake analysis and categorisation in the aforementioned statement. Indeed, we have repeatedly established in this series that there is no such thing as a “Mad’khalist Movement or Strain” within Salafiyyah, let alone anything that would set them apart from so-called “Mainstream Purist Salafists”. This is a false categorisation because Salafiyyah is one and there are no factions within it, however, the fact that the cretins deliberately ignore the facts, embark on a so-called categorisation of the Salafiyyoon, invent so-called differences within Salafiyyah, and use those differences to create a stereotype from which they draw false conclusions. Their main target is Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali because he refuted the misguided figureheads with solid evidence derived from the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah as understood and implemented by the pious predecessors. As a result, they started a smear campaign against him and concocted a group for him within Salafiyyah. Then, the misinformed Muslim believes that this is how things are, rather than how someone has chosen to portray their beliefs without facts, misrepresent realities due to a desire to propagate falsehood or due to ignorance, negligence, and dishonesty, or use mockery and nicknaming to divert people from facts and therefore deceive them.

https://abukhadeejah.com/a-response-to-western-academics-who-categorise-salafis-into-quietists-politicos-and-jihadists-and-why-this-is-a-false-categorisation/

Anyone who reviews the information offered in the above links will know -InShaaAllah- that the people they fraudulently refer to as “Mad’khalists” and seek to differentiate from so-called “Mainstream Purist Salafists” are none other than Salafiyyoon, and that this categorisation is nothing but fraudulent research and false categorisation of the highest degree.

Regarding the Arab Spring (i.e. so-called Arab Spring), the cretins claimed that while the majority of Salafists (so-called purists) initially opposed both the Libyan and Syrian Civil Wars, they eventually switched their allegiance to the opposing sides as a result of the extreme violence used by the Gaddafi and Assad regimes. They also claimed that the Madkhalists attacked the mainstream purists for taking these positions. First, we repeat once again that Salafiyyah is one creed, one methodology, and one group based on the teachings of the Qur’an, the authentic Sunnah, and understanding of the Prophet’s companion, and there are no factions or strains within it that are categorised as “Mainstream Purist Salafists” or “Mad’khalists”.

Second, the damn liars must first provide precise details and clarification of the incidents during the so-called Arab Spring, the specific individuals involved, and their stances and statements so that everything is understood in the context that it actually belongs in. This is due to the fact that the Salafiyyoon are well-known and distinct from Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen (The Muslim Brotherhood Sect), the Hizbiyyoon (Illegal Partisans), and Takfeeris (ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and its ilk) in these countries. At this point, the following statement by Dr. Shaikh Abu Iyaad [may Allah preserve him] demonstrates why it is very important to clarify and make this distinction. He said, “Salafis are the target of sectarian bias and bigotry for many factions, from them the Raafidah, Soofiyyah, Kharijites and Takfiris, the blind-followers of the madhaahib, Secularists, Modernists, and many others. As such there is a lot of propaganda in the field which is unfortunately entered into what is claimed to be “objective research”. To make matters more confusing is the presence of numerous orientations falsely ascribing to Salafiyyah despite their deviations from it in their foundations and methodologies. Many of the takfiri, and Khariji groups make this false ascription. This adds another layer of confusion to anyone wanting to research and understand Salafiyyah and leads to Salafis being wrongly attributed to the iniquities of the Takfiris and Kharijites. In light of all of these realities, this website aims to provide relevant information and critical evaluation and analysis of the various views and opinions that are being scattered in books, journals, blogs, websites, audios, and videos in relation to “Salafis” and “Salafiyyah”. http://www.salafis.com/index.cfm

Therefore, claiming that so and so supported, opposed, or changed his position is far from sufficient; rather, full details must be provided and statements examined for their contexts, otherwise, ambiguities, doubts, and a mixture of truth and falsehood would prevail, or the reader is left in one of the following situations: the lack of certainty in comprehending the reality of those statements, positions and circumstances, the lack of wholesome comprehension, comprehending in a way contrary to its true reality, believing that he comprehends while being unaware of something else that should make one realise that he is mistaken, or, one assume that he is well-informed, even though he has overlooked information that contradicts what he believe to be true, or he bases his understanding on ambiguity, even though something else was present that is very clear and contradict his understanding, but he remains in a state of speculation and misguidance, either due to being unaware or duped by the cretins, damn liars and pseudo-researchers at Wikipedia and elsewhere.

Third, the stance of the Salafi Scholars against the so-called Arab Spring is well-known. Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] was asked, “What do you think about what is now called the Arab Spring?” Response: By Allah, the spring has not brought us any remedy (or cure, or restored something good, etc.) It has not brought us any remedy, rather, (it brought) killing. It has not brought us any remedy, rather (it brought) trial. Unbelievers refer to it as (Arab Spring). The Muslims do not refer to it as “Spring”, rather, they call it trial and evil. True, it is a spring for the unbelievers since it harms Muslims and they are pleased with what harms Muslims. This makes them happy, and it is their spring. [Paraphrased and abridged. Listen here: https://youtu.be/1zHFpGCXGCI ]

This was Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan’s stance, so which category do the cretins, damn liars, and pseudo-researchers put him in, the so-called “Mad’khalists”, the so-called “Mainstream Purist Salafists”, or the so-called “Quietists”?! Indeed, their research is plagued with misleading statements and doubts due to their disregard for the fear of Allah and their deep-seated animosity towards the authentic Salafi Methodology. Consequently, they are unhindered in their propagation of falsehoods, distortion, and deceptive arguments. Shaikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “When it is the case that the person who adjudicates amongst the people in disputes over wealth, blood (such as murder cases, acts of physical violence, etc.), and honour is (threatened) with entry into hell if he is not a just scholar, then what about the one who makes judgements – without knowledge and justice – on creeds, religions, fundamentals of belief, divine knowledge, and general fundamental principles relating to many subject matters, as is the case with Ahlul Bidah Wal Ahwaa [the proponents of religious innovations and followers of vain desires] who follow ambiguous doubtful matters, abandon those explicitly clear texts that the Prophets have transmitted, cling to affairs that share an ambiguous similarity through mere analogy and opinions, and then present affairs whose differences cannot be reconciled or equated.

[2] An Excerpt from “Al-Jawaabus Saheeh”. 1/26-30

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Samura Bin Jundub [may Allah be pleased with him] said: The Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “I saw (in a dream), two men came to me.” Then the Prophet narrated the story (saying), “They said, ‘The person, the one whose cheek you saw being torn away (from the mouth to the ear) was a liar and used to tell lies and the people would report those lies on his authority till they spread all over the world. So he will be punished like that till the Day of Resurrection”. [(1)]

The deluded researchers Wikipedia stated: “After high-ranking members of Saudi Arabia’s religious establishment denounced the movement in general, and Saudi Grand Mufti and Permanent Committee head Abdul-Azeez ibn Abdullah Aal ash-Shaikh’s criticism of Rabee al-Madkhali specifically, the movement lost its support base within the wider Arab world. The remaining followers of Madkhali within Saudi Arabia tend to be foreign workers of Western origins, Saudis from Rabee al-Madkhali’s hometown, and Kuwaitis and Yemenis. Madkhali also retains a national network of disciples to promote his work and monitor the activities of competitor clerics, and although Madkhalists are outnumbered by followers of Society of the Revival of Islamic Heritage in Kuwait, they retain an extensive international network in the Middle East, Europe and Southeast Asia. Despite losing its audience in its country of origin, the movement had branched outward by the early 2010s, with Madkhalists gaining followers in western Kazakhstan, where the Government of Kazakhstan views them and other Islamists with suspicion. Regardless of these gains, Western analysts have still described the movement as now being relegated to a primarily European phenomenon. Analysts have estimated that Madkhalists and their allies comprise just over half of the Salafist movement in the Netherlands”. [End of quote]

Response to their statement: “After high-ranking members of Saudi Arabia’s religious establishment denounced the movement in general, and Saudi Grand Mufti and Permanent Committee head Abdul-Azeez ibn Abdullaah Aal Ash-Shaikh’s criticism of Rabee al-Madkhali specifically, the movement lost its support base within the wider Arab world”. [End of quote]

First, which high-ranking Saudi Arabian religious figures specifically condemned the fictitious Mad’khalism movement in general, and what specifically did they say about it?! What are the precise objections of Al-Allaamah Abdul Azeez Aal Shaikh [may Allah preserve him] of Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him], the substance of the criticism, and its unequivocal knowledge-based conclusion? Indeed, these assertion serves no purpose because it fails to establish and distinguish between truth and falsehood, and it remains as such until the cretins at Wikipedia state exactly what was said and then it is evaluated based on sound Salafi principles. Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “It is incumbent upon you to provide details and differentiation because unrestricted and general (statements) without clarity have corrupted this existence (i.e. the world) and misguided the intellects and viewpoints (of the people) in every era”. Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] commented as follows, “There has to be a thorough explanation. The person who is not skilled at providing information should remain silent because his discourse provides no benefit. And every time an error occurs, it is caused by a lack of a clear explanation of truth and falsehood. There must be a thorough explanation and distinction, with no confusion. Indeed, an opponent’s speech may contain both truth and falsehood, therefore it is not deemed entirely false or true, however, there must be a distinction between its truth and falsehood. All of it is neither rejected nor accepted; rather, a distinction is established between the truth and what is correct and the falsehood and error in it. And if you are not skilled at providing details, you should not engage in this field”. (2)

Al-Allaamah Saalih al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] was asked: “What is the meaning of the principle, ‘The truth is not known by way of men, rather men are known by way of the truth?'” Response: It means that we do not simply blindly follow anyone, because one may be blindly followed based on inaccuracy. It is possible that the Mujtahid is erroneous, therefore we do not take (his statement, opinion, etc.) and say, “This is the statement of such and such; this is truth because such and such is good, he is a scholar; such and such is Taqiy (i.e. one who fears Allah). We do not say this since he is not infallible and can make mistakes; thus, we know men by the truth – those who know, adhere to the proofs, and are known to be scholars. Those who are unconcerned about proofs are not scholars; they are not people of (sound) understanding and knowledge, hence their statements are never taken at face value. It is imperative that the proof is presented, so, if the evidence is established as a witness to (what he says or believes, etc.), then it is the truth; however, if he opposes the evidence, then it (i.e. his says) is rejected. If he is a Mujtahid and he is mistaken, he is rewarded (once) due to his Ijtihaad; however, if he consciously holds on to error, he has sinned. (3)

Therefore, every claim must be established and analysed based on solid Salafi principles, and only what is established based on sound knowledge-based proofs is given consideration, whether the subject matter is related to Aqeedah, acts of worship, methodology, criticism, or praise.

And regarding their view that the so-called Mad’khalis lost support in Saudi Arabia, this claim is based on delusion because the group does not exist. However, even if the majority were to reject or oppose an upright caller to Islam, that is not a measure of right and wrong; rather, the only thing taken into account is the truth. Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] said: Allah [The Most High] says:

قُلۡ هَـٰذِهِۦ سَبِيلِىٓ أَدۡعُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ عَلَىٰ بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَا۟ وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَنِى‌ۖ وَسُبۡحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أَنَا۟ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ

Say (O Muhammad): “This is my way; I invite unto Allah (i.e. to the Oneness of Allah – Islamic Monotheism) with sure knowledge, I and whosoever follows me (also must invite others to Allah i.e. to the Oneness of Allah – Islamic Monotheism) with sure knowledge. And Glorified and Exalted be Allah (above all that they associate as partners with Him). And I am not of the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah; those who worship others along with Allah or set up rivals or partners to Allah).”

[أَدۡعُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ – I invite unto Allah (i.e. to the Oneness of Allah – Islamic Monotheism)]. This part of the Ayah contains a notification regarding sincerity because some people call to themselves. It may be that a person propagates, and delivers lectures and sermons, but his aim is to become apparent to the people – to receive some status, be praised by the people, and that people gather and become numerous around him. If this is his aim, he is not one who calls to Allah; rather he is a caller to himself. The person who abandons Dawah has indeed abandoned a great obligation and the person who is not sincere in Dawah has indeed fallen into great danger because Dawah has to be carried out sincerely for the Sake of Allah and the aim should be to establish Allah’s Shariah – to guide and benefit the people, whether you are praised or rebuked. As for some people, when they are not praised and promoted, they abandon Dawah. This is proof that such a caller is not a caller to Allah, rather he only calls to himself. Therefore, the Muslim should be warned that his aim in dawah should be sincerity, to benefit the people, free them from Shirk and bidah, free them from those affairs that are in opposition to the Shariah, and fulfill what is obligated to him.

A great number of people around a person is not proof that such a person is virtuous, because some of the Prophets were only followed by a few people. “A Prophet will come on the day of judgement with a few followers and a Prophet will come with no followers”. [Bukhaari 5705]. So, does this mean that such a Prophet is not virtuous? No, definitely not! A person does not look at the large number of people who are present, because the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] said to Ali, “If Allaah gives guidance to a single man through you, it is better for you than possessing red camels”. [Bukhaari 3009] (4)

The Shaikh [may Allah preserve him] also stated: Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaa’ah are not harmed by those who oppose them. If you are with them- all praise is due to Allah, they are pleased with this because indeed they want good for the people. If you oppose them, you cannot harm them and due to this the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him]said, “There will not cease to be a group of my Ummah who will be manifest upon the truth- not harmed by those who forsake them until the command of Allah comes to pass (i.e. the day of judgement) whilst they are (still) upon that (truth)”. The one in opposition does not harm except himself. What is given consideration is not the great numbers; rather what is given consideration is to be in agreement with the truth, even if a small number of people were upon it. And even if in some eras there is only one person (upon truth), then he is the one upon truth and he is the Jamaa’ah. The Jamaa’ah does not necessitate great numbers; rather the Jamaa’ah is what is in agreement with the truth – in agreement with the Book and the Sunnah, even if those upon it are few. However, if many come together and (upon) truth, then – all praise is due to Allaah- this is strength. But if the majority oppose it (i.e. the truth), then we side with the truth even if only a few are upon it. (5)

The liars stated: “The remaining followers of Madkhali within Saudi Arabia tend to be foreign workers of Western origins, Saudis from Rabee al-Madkhali’s hometown, and Kuwaitis and Yemenis. Madkhali also retains a national network of disciples to promote his work and monitor the activities of competitor clerics, and although Madkhalists are outnumbered by followers of the Society of the Revival of Islamic Heritage in Kuwait, they retain an extensive international network in the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia”. [End of quote]

They spoke here regarding the leader, followers, clerics, and networks of the so-called Mad’khalis, and then differentiated them from Al-Ihyaa Ath-Turaath (The Revival of Islamic Heritage) in Kuwait. Indeed, by identifying Al-Ihyaa Ath-Turaath as a different group, they spoke the truth (Footnote a), but they spoke lies when they invented the Mad’khalis group. The purpose of this falsehood is to convince uninformed Muslims that there are various strains within Salafiyah, each of which pursues its own agenda in the name of Islam, and allows dubious individuals and false claimants to Salafiyyah to blend in with the Salafiyyoon in order to further their own objectives. This sinister plot has been exposed by many prominent Salafi Scholars and students of knowledge, but Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali in particular pays special attention to it in some of his books. The Shaikh says, “Where did the Ikhwaan Al-Muslimeen and the Qutubiyyoon (Footnote b) get these ideas in this country [Saudi Arabia]? What inspired Juhaymaan’s thoughts as well as those of Abdur Rahmaan Abdul Khaaliq, Al-Haddad, Al-Maghraawi, and Abul Hasan Al-Maribi? They are all extensions of Ikhwaan Al-Muslimeen’s ideas. All of them, from Juhaymaan’s Fitna to the present, are the tail ends of Ikhwaan Al-Muslimeen’s Fitna, whose principal goal is to topple the scholars. They do, however, don a variety of garb and outward manifestations; they go by the names Al-Ikhwaan, At-Tasawwuf, and As-Salafiyyah at various times. The most dangerous one (used as cover) is the term As-Salafiyyah because they are unable to confront the Salafi Methodology with the terms At-Tab’leegh and Al-Ikhwaan, so they hide this charade with the term As-Salafiyyah and then challenge the (upright Salafi) scholars”. (6)

Al-Allaamah Rabee (may Allah preserve him) is hated by infiltrators and deviants for the reasons that are explained in the articles below by Shaikh Abu Iyaad and Shaikh Abu Khadeejah (may Allah preserve them).

The liars stated: “Despite losing its audience in its country of origin, the movement had branched outward by the early 2010s, with Madkhalists gaining followers in western Kazakhstan, where the Government of Kazakhstan views them and other Islamists with suspicion. Regardless of these gains, Western analysts have still described the movement as now being relegated to a primarily European phenomenon. Analysts have estimated that Madkhalists and their allies comprise just over half of the Salafist movement in the Netherlands”. [End of quote]

First, they concocted the Mad’khalis strain within Salafiyyah and have even gone so far as to call it a “Movement”. The reason pseudo-researchers refer to it as a movement is because one of the characteristics of movements is that they can all share some basic unique characteristics, however, things don’t just happen with one leader or in one location; instead, things may appear differently in different locations, but they share some similar values. This is not Salafiyyah because one is not judged to be a true follower of the Sunnah merely on one or a few characteristics. Al-Allaamah Rabee bin Haadi al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] said: “”Every sect of ahlul bidah gathers between truth and falsehood; denies the truth that the other sect of bidah possesses and believes in the falsehood that they possess. Shaikh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allaah have mercy on him] said: Allah said: [ وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ ءَامِنُواْ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ قَالُواْ نُؤۡمِنُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيۡنَا وَيَكۡفُرُونَ بِمَا وَرَآءَهُ ۥ وَهُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ مُصَدِّقً۬ا لِّمَا مَعَهُمۡ – And when it is said to them (the Jews), “Believe in what Allah has sent down,” they say, “We believe in what was sent down to us.” And they disbelieve in that which came after it, while it is the truth confirming what is with them]. [Surah Al-Baqarah Aayah 91]

This is because they initiate an innovation in religion (i.e. beliefs, acts of worship, or methodology), combine it with what the Messengers brought, split their religion, and become sects, so there is truth and falsehood within each of them. They reject the truth of the other group and believe in the falsehood with them. This is the situation of all the people of Bidah, for there is truth and falsehood among them, thus they split their religion and became sects. Every sect, such as the Khawaarij and Shia, denies the truth of the other sect and believes in the falsehood with them. (7)

Therefore, one is not judged to be a true follower of the Sunnah merely on one or a few characteristics, as Imaam Al-Barbahaaree [may Allah have mercy upon him] also stated: “It is not permitted for a man to say, ‘So and so is a person of the sunnah’ until he knows that he combines the characteristics of the Sunnah, so it is not said of him, ‘a person of the Sunnah’ until he combines all the Sunnah”. Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] commented on the above statement of Imaam Barbahaaree saying: “Do not give a person a recommendation and praise unless it is founded on knowledge, lest people be misled by your praise of him, because he is not what (you have asserted about him). So, when his real affair and the path he follows are evident to you, his knowledge and steadfastness, you can recommend him. As for praising and giving recommendations without knowing anything about him, is a dangerous recommendation that will lead to people being deceived by this person. The characteristics of the Sunnah include creed, knowledge, and adherence to the (path of) pious predecessors; but if there is nothing in him but a single characteristic, he is not regarded to be from Ahlus Sunnah on the basis of a single characteristic or one thing, so what about the one who has nothing from that? (8)

The Messenger of Allah [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “Indeed, the one who lives long amongst you will see a lot of differences, and beware of newly invented matters [in the religion] because it is misguidance. So whoever amongst you reaches that, then upon him to hold onto to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided khulafaa, and bite onto it with the molar teeth”. (9) Imaam Ibn Ibn Rajab [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: “In this hadeeth is the command that when splitting and differing occurs, (one must) adhere to the Sunnah of the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] and the Sunnah of the khulafaa [AbuBakr, Umar, Uthmaan and Ali (may Allah be pleased with them)] after him. The Sunnah is a path that should be adhered to and it includes that which the rightly guided khulafaa were upon in creed, practice, and statements. This is the complete Sunnah”. (10)

Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud [may Allah be pleased with him] said: Whoever wants to adhere to a path, then let him adhere to the path of those who have passed away, for indeed the ones who are alive are not safe from trial, and they (i.e. those who have passed away) are Muhammad’s Companions. They were the best of this Ummah, the ones with the most righteous hearts, the most perfect in knowledge, and the most uncomplicated. Allah selected them to accompany His Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] and to establish His religion. Therefore, acknowledge their status, follow their footsteps, and cling as much as you can to their pattern of behaviour and attitude because they followed true guidance. (11) 

This particular distinction enrages the infiltrators and pseudo-researchers since they waste their time trying to misrepresent Salafiyyah just to learn that the Mujaddidoon Salafi scholars have already refuted them. The Prophet [peace and blessings be upon him] said, “Allah will raise for this Ummah at the end of every hundred years the one who will revive its religion for it”. (12) “Allah will raise for this Ummah at the end of every hundred years” – Meaning, at the end of every hundred years when there is little knowledge of the Shariah and the authentic Prophetic Tradition, whilst ignorance and Bidah are rife; “One who will revive its religion for it”– Meaning, a scholar who is alive and well known. He will clarify the authentic Prophetic Tradition and distinguish it from Bidah. knowledge will be abundant again and its adherents will be aided, and the proponents of Bidah will be overcome and degraded. This reviver is none else but a scholar who has a sound understanding of the religious sciences that deal with acts of worship, the underlying wisdom of the religion, and the texts that deal with beliefs of the heart. (13)

The liars stated: “Regardless of these gains, Western analysts have still described the movement as now being relegated to a primarily European phenomenon. Analysts have estimated that Madkhalists and their allies comprise just over half of the Salafist movement in the Netherlands”. [End of quote]

As for those they refer to as Mad’kalis in the UK, they are referring to the Salafiyyoon, who challenge their Bidah and expose all their figureheads of Bidah- our elder teachers at Salafipublications and elsewhere. Finally, in regard to their claim that there is Mad’khalism in Kazakhstan, it is important to remember once again that no group, strain, or movement known as Mad’khalis exists within Salafiyyah anywhere on the earth, including Kazakhstan nor does Salafiyyah have different orientations. If the cretins desist, then may the curse of Allah be upon the liars!

NB: One cannot properly comprehend these affairs unless he or she visits this website http://www.salafis.com/index.cfm as well as reads this remarkable series by the seasoned elder student of knowledge Shaikh Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq [may Allah protect him and his family from all evil Aameen].
