[13] 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.

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]

[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.

[Lesson 11] The Correct Methodology of Advising the Muslim Rulers – Beneficial Answers to Questions Regarding The Innovated Methodologies – Abu Khadeejah ‘Abdul-Wāhid

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.

[11] 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.

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. Must read:

http://www.salafis.com/index.cfm

http://www.themadkhalis.com/md/

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.

[10] 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.

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 at Wikipedia stated: “On Friday, 24 August 2012, Islamists loyal to Muhammad al-Mad’khali, demolished Sufi shrines in Zliten in Libya with construction equipment and bulldozers.[24] The act was condemned by twenty-two NGOs, in addition to the post-war Libyan government’s top religious official and UNESCO General Director Irina Bokova. The post-war Libyan government filed a complaint with the Saudi government regarding Muhammad al-Mad’khali, who is a professor at the Islamic University of Madinah”. [End of quote]

Under the guise of academic research and well-founded criticism against an imaginary  group, movement, or strain within Salafiyyah known as Mad’khalis, the liars at Wikipedia once again show their reprehensible ignorance of the sound Islamic creed while seeking to wage war against Salafiyyah. InShaaAllah, the first issue we must address is how grave worship began in this Ummah. 

Shaikh Shamsuddeen al-Afghaanee As-Salafi [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: Allah [The Exalted] guided mankind through Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] and what he conveyed of clear manifest proofs and guidance – guidance that could not be described by those skilled in description and transcended the knowledge of those with great perception. As a result of this guidance, Allah opened the eyes of the blind, the ears of the deaf, and the hearts of the heedless. After they had been in a state of disunity and hatred towards one another, having followed destructive and corrupt creeds, Allah united them on one religion- the religion of pure Islamic monotheism, Prophet Ibraaheem’s religion of pure monotheism. Through great blessing, Allah united their hearts, and they became true brothers in Islam. Following that, everything else that was worshipped ceased, including graves, trees, stones, images, and idols, and all worship was devoted to Allah (alone). Except for those whom Allah willed to remain as people of polytheism, hypocrisy, and followers of the altered and perverted old scriptures, the people followed the true Religion of Islamic monotheism, worshipped Allah alone, and established worship sincerely for Allah. The darkness of shirk (polytheism) was removed, and the banner of Tawheed (true Islamic Monotheism) was raised in the lands among Arabs and non-Arabs. Allah’s Messenger [Muhammad] returned to his Lord, while Islam was established and ruled supreme over all other ways of life and creeds. Following that, the Messenger’s rightly guided khulafaa [AbuBakr, Umar, Uthmaan, and Ali] continued on this path until the two powerful and great nations at the time- Rome and Persia- ended up in humiliation, degradation, and fear after they had been in security, and thus Caesar was restricted and besieged, and khosrau was subdued and destroyed.

When the enemies of Islam realised that they couldn’t destroy it, they implanted their disbelieving agents within Islam, pretending to be Muslims in order to foment confusion, trials, and tribulations, and spread Shirk (polytheism) by exaggerating the status of the pious people – exalting their graves through (beliefs and practices) that are not ordained by Allah. So, this Ummah faced trial through the schemes of the [atheist, heretic, and hypocrite] Abdullah Bin Saba, who claimed Uloohiyyah for Ali Ibn Abee Taalib [i.e. that Allah is to be worshipped].

The followers of Abdullah Bin As-Sabah were known as the Saaba’iyyah, and afterward as the rawaafid (shiites), ismaaliyyah (shittes), nusayriyah (shiites), and others among the Baatiniyyah. They used to worship graves and the deceased, erecting places of worship and domed (shaped) shrines on top of them. As a result, they revived the practices of Jews, Christians, and idol worshippers, and so the practices of grave worshippers in this Muslim Ummah manifested from the deeds of the rawaafid (shiites). [Footnote a]

Then the books of Greek philosophy that featured the ideas of grave and idol worship were translated into Arabic, thus many Muslims became preoccupied with these books, such as Al-Faraabee, Ibn Sinaa Al-Hanafi, Naseer At-Toosee, a proponent of disbelief and polytheism, and others who sought to play tricks on Islam in the same way that Paul did on Christianity”. [(2)]

Second, the cretins must also be informed that the Ummah was forewarned by Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) not to adopt the heresies of the Jews and the Christians. Imam Al-Aloosee [May Allah have mercy upon him] said: “It has been reported in a hadeeth in Al-Bukhaari and Muslim that the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “Indeed, you (Muslims) will follow the way of those before you (i.e. the misguided Jews and Christians), hand span by hand span, cubit by cubit, to the extent that if they entered into the hole of a lizard, you will enter it too”. [Al-Bukhaari 1397, Muslim 4822] The Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] informed us that indeed there will be in his Ummah those who will follow the previous nations – the ignorant people amongst the people of the scriptures and other than them – hand span by hand span as has been explained in the hadeeth. There is no doubt that what he [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] informed us has occurred because indeed he is As-Saadiq Al-Masdooq [the truthful one and the one who is to be believed in everything he says] and he does not speak out of his own desires. Certainly, those who adhere to his guidance and follow that which has been established in his Sunnah are not the ones intended in this hadeeth, therefore, it has to be the case that the people who follow the footsteps of the Jews and Christians are those who substitute and change (the religion), innovate in religious affairs and distort, imitate the previous nations in their actions and deeds, such as building tombs and mosques on the graves of their righteous people- invoking them during important events, during times when they face very painful situations and other than that (similar) to what the Jews, Christians and idol worshippers used to do. [(3)]

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] said: Ibn Abbaas and Aa’isha [may Allah be pleased with him and his father] said: When the last moment of the life of Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] came, he started putting his Khameesah [a woollen blanket] on his face and when he felt hot and short of breath he took it off his face and said, “May Allah curse the Yahood and Nasaaraa [i.e. those amongst them who changed the pure religion of the Prophets and Messengers of Bani Israa’eel – Mussa, Eesaa, etc (peace be upon them)], for they built the places of worship at the graves of their Prophets”. The Prophet was warning (Muslims) of what those people had done. (a) They [the Prophet’s companions] understood that the Messenger was giving a warning; Aa’isha and Ibn Abbaas said, “He was warning the (Muslims) of what these people had done”. Therefore, when it is the case that the Yahood and Nasaaraa were cursed and they earned the severe wrath of Allah, even though they loved the Prophets and built places of worship on their graves, then what about those who defile the greatest religion [i.e. Islaam] with shirk by doing what those Yahood did. [(4)]

The late Mufti of Saudi Arabia Imam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: Shrines are graves and the Prophetic tradition regarding this affair is that graves are to be raised a hand span from the ground so that they are recognised as graves and not degraded. This is why in the hadeeth of Sa’d Bin Abee Waqqaas [may Allah be pleased with him], it is reported that the grave of the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] was raised a hand span and Sa’d also gave orders that the same should be done to his grave. As for building over them, taking them as Masaajid, and building domes, this is not permissible. According to the people of knowledge, this is evil, innovation in religion, and one of the means to Shirk. And due to this, the Prophet stated in an authentic hadeeth, “The curse of Allah is upon the Jews and Christians [i.e. those Jews who deviated from the pure message of Musa and those Christians who deviated from the pure message of the Messiah] because they took the graves of their Prophets as places of worship”. And in a hadeeth in Saheeh Muslim, the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] forbade that graves should be plastered (made into permanent structures), used as sitting places, and built over them. [(5)]

 

Where Was the Grave of The Prophet Initially?

Shaikh Abdul Waahid Abu Khadeejah [may Allah preserve him] stated as follows: The grave of the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) was initially outside of his Mosque in Madeenah – the fact is that his house was next door to the Mosque and that is where he was buried after his death. Later, during the time of the rule of Waleed Ibn Abdul-Malik, he commanded that the Mosque be expanded, and thus the house of the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) was included in the Mosque as it was extended. This occurred to the displeasure of the Scholars – and they hated it – from them, Sa’eed Ibn Al-Musayyib (died 94H). As for the green dome that was erected high over the grave of the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam), then it was built at the end of the 6th century – it was built by one of the kings of Egypt. So whoever uses the grave of the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) in the Mosque as proof, or the presence of the green dome then, in reality, has no proof at all. That is because these constructions and affairs were initiated by people ignorant and devoid of knowledge. They had authority and the people were not able to prevent them. So they did what they did due to their claim that they were expressing their love of the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) and respect for him. This green dome at the Prophet’s Mosque in Madeenah, over his grave, was a later addition of the sixth century. It was not built or approved by the Companions or by the early scholars and well-known Imāms. [(6)]

Do the cretins want grave worship and other acts of shirk to continue in the Ummah of Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him]? Ibn Abbaas [may Allah be pleased with him and his father] said that the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “The most hated people to Allah are three: a person who deviates from right conduct [i.e. an evil doer] in the Haram [sanctuaries of Makkah and Medeenah], a person who seeks that the traditions of the Pre-Islamic Period of Ignorance should remain in Islam and a person who seeks to shed somebody’s blood without any right”. Al-Allaamah Zaid Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “The second major sin is committed by the person who wants the pre-Islamic traditions to remain in Islam as if he gives precedence to the pre-Islamic traditions – the evil customs that were followed during that period and the misguided deeds- over the Islamic practices, Imaan Ihsaan, their virtue and virtue of the Sunnah. He is guilty of committing a major sin, and this includes giving precedence to Bidah over (the authentic) Sunnah that guides (him) to the straight path”. [(7)]

Finally, it goes without saying that a Muslim who is aware of the serious sin of grave worship will not support or enable any means to this Shirk. Therefore, to a Muslim who is aware of Allah’s decree in this matter, no NGO or other protest is of the slightest significance. However, this does not imply that we are those who impose our own laws; rather, enjoining good and prohibiting evil must be done in accordance with one’s capacity and the authority that one is granted.

Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: “Anyone of you who sees evil (i.e. what is clearly declared to be evil in Islaam), then let him stop it with his hand. If he cannot, then with his tongue; and if he cannot, then with his heart, and that is the weakest of faith”. [Reported by Muslim, Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi & others] However, stopping evil by hand must be based on ability and should not result in greater corruption or evil. A man has the right to rectify matters with his hand in his home, a manager has the authority to make changes with the hand within the organization they are responsible for, in accordance with the instructions that were given to them (i.e. the authority given to them by the state authorities), otherwise, people should not change with their hand anything they are not authorised to change. If they do make changes in matters that they have no authority over, this will result in more evil and great corruption between them and the people and between the people and the state. In this case they should stop evil with their tongue (by speaking out). They may say: ‘’O Fulaan! Fear Allah! This is not permissible; this is Haraam, or “This is obligated on you,’’ and clarify it with evidence from Shariah. [NB: In the UK, objecting to certain behaviour can be viewed as harassment or verbal abuse, therefore a Muslim should be aware of what the law allows him before he says or does anything whilst living in the West]. As for stopping evil with the hand, this should be done where one has authority, such as one’s home (i.e. within what the law allows) when dealing with those under one’s responsibility, or those authorised by the ruler, such as organisations given permission and authority to enjoin Good. They should make changes in accordance with the authority they have been given- in the way prescribed by the Shariah, without exceeding their jurisdiction. The same applies to the governor of a city. [(8)]

This is the information that the cretins do not want to hear because they have been completely misled by their invented belief in a so-called group known as the Mad’khalis, despite the fact that the worship of graves and shrines and the construction of places of worship on them are clearly forbidden in the divine texts of the Shariah. Therefore, a Muslim ruler who has been taught Tawheed and Sunnah is commended if he demolishes shrines and tombs to eradicate Shirk from a Muslim country. May Allah also facilitate him with helpers in carrying out this mission. As for the Takfeeris (ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and others), they lack understanding and guidance, then they hasten in putting an end to what they perceive as evil, coupled with their terrorism and corruption in the world. May Allah guide the khawaarij or destroy them, and likewise, may Allah guide the compulsive liars at Wikipedia or break their backs Aameen.

[9] 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.

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].

[8] 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.

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, “Rabee al-Madkhali was incredibly influential, most of it through Saudi support, in the early 90s, during and after the time period the Gulf War was taking place. The Saudi regime attracted great ire from the Sahwa movement, due to their collusion with the US government and the Saudi’s allowing US military bases to be set up in the Arabian peninsula. In response, the Saudi government imprisoned the leaders of the movement and strongly promoted al-Madkhali, who was politically quietest, supported the regime, and was good at siphoning off potential opponents to the US and Saudi regime. Senior US policymakers Will McCants and Jarret Brachman have also advised the US to discretely fund figures like al-Madkhali to siphon off support for jihadis who advocate for violence against the US military. At the Madkhalist movement’s inception in the early 1990s, the governments of Saudi Arabia and Egypt promoted the group as a counterbalance to more extreme elements of the wider Islamist movement. During this time, a number of radical Jihadists converted to Madkhalism, especially in the Salafist stronghold of Buraidah. In Kuwait, the Madkhali movement was nurtured around individuals who would separate from “mainstream” Salafism in 1981 due to many amongst them entering into the political arena”. [End of quote]

Response: Back in the years between 1993 and 1995, we were among the youth who were misled by both the self-proclaimed Mujaahidoon during the Algerian civil war and the misguided political activists, namely Salman and Safar. However, by the immense mercy of Allah, we were guided towards Salafiyyah in the summer of 1995 after attending a lecture given by the respected elders at Salafipublications. It is worth mentioning that our esteemed teachers at Salafipublications were at the forefront in combating the Takfeeris, and by the grace of Allah, we have extensively read numerous articles written by Salafipublications on this subject from the mid-90s until today. Therefore, the deceivers at Wikipedia are unable to conceal the truth, even if they were present during the events of the 90s. Let us once again scrutinize their illusions in this piece.

The deceivers at Wikipedia stated, “Rabee al-Madkhali was incredibly influential, most of it through Saudi support, in the early 90s, during and after the time period the Gulf War was taking place. The Saudi regime attracted great ire from the Sahwa movement, due to their collusion with the US government and the Saudi’s allowing US military bases to be set up in the Arabian peninsula. In response, the Saudi government imprisoned the leaders of the movement and strongly promoted al-Madkhali, who was politically quietest, supported the regime, and was good at siphoning off potential opponents to the US and Saudi regime”. [End of quote]

Response: They want us to believe that Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] was solely responsible for exposing the Takfeeris and misguided political activists during and after the Gulf War. However, it is important to acknowledge that many other scholars also played a significant role in refuting the ignorance and misguided zeal of the Takfeeris. Insha’Allah, it will become evident that Imaam Abdul Azeez Baaz [may Allah have mercy upon him] was the prominent erudite Salafi scholar who effectively halted the misguided political activists and Takfeeris, such as Salman and Safar. Furthermore, the topic of Sahwa – Islamic Awakening has already been discussed in part 7 of this series, and to gain further insight into why US military outposts were permitted in Saudi Arabia, we recommend reading this article by Shaikh Abu Khadeejah [may Allah preserve him].

https://abukhadeejah.com/ibn-baaz-allowed-the-american-military-into-saudi-arabia/

 

Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz [may Allah have mercy upon him] asked the authorities to restrain the Takfeeris

A letter from the Mufti, Erudite Salafi Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz [may Allah have mercy upon him], to the Kingdom’s rulers via the Permanent Committee of Major Scholars clearly demonstrates that it was the Imaam who requested that the Takfeeris be restrained for the sake of the general good. He wrote: “So I inform your highness that the Sitting of the Committee of Major Scholars saw the aforementioned letter of your highness, along with its addenda: an abridgment of some gatherings and lessons given by the two aforementioned (the King had mentioned Safar and Salman and this is what Shaikh Bin Baz is referring to), beginning from the start of Muharram 1414AH, and a copy of the book of Safar al Hawali “Wa’du Kissinger”; and it discussed the topic from all its angles. It also examined some of the cassettes of the two of them. So after studying and discussing this, the Committee held – by total agreement – that: “The two aforementioned are to be faced with their errors that were presented before the Committee – along with the errors forwarded by the government, and in which two of the people of knowledge are to participate- to be chosen by his excellency the Minister for Islamic Affairs, Awqaaf, Daawah, and Irshad. So if the two of them excuse themselves for their transgressions and agree to comply to not returning to any of them, nor to the like of them, then all praise to Allaah, and that is sufficient. But if they will not comply, then they are to be prevented from giving lectures, seminars, khutbahs, public lessons, and from making cassettes – in order to protect the society from their errors: may Allaah guide them both and direct them both to the right conduct.” [(2)]

Other senior scholars, such the Muhaddith Imaam al-Albaanee [may Allah have mercy upon him] also rebutted the Takfeeris and misguided political activists. So, when 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 devised plot!! And I say this in light of [the statement of Allaah], “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…” [(3)]

The deceivers at Wikipedia then labelled Al-Allaamah as a quietist, which Shaikh Abu Khadeejah has already refuted in the following link: https://abukhadeejah.com/a-response-to-western-academics-who-categorise-salafis-into-quietists-politicos-and-jihadists-and-why-this-is-a-false-categorisation/

The deceivers continued their blathering as follows: “Senior US policymakers Will McCants and Jarret Brachman have also advised the US to discretely fund figures like al-Madkhali to siphon off support for jihadis who advocate for violence against the US military. At the Madkhalist movement’s inception in the early 1990s, the governments of Saudi Arabia and Egypt promoted the group as a counterbalance to more extreme elements of the wider Islamist movement. During this time, a number of radical Jihadists converted to Madkhalism, especially in the Salafist stronghold of Buraidah”. [End of quote]

Response: Once again, the above statement highlights the delusion of both the individuals at Wikipedia and anyone else who may have considered supporting this supposed funding. Al-Allaamah Rabee and the other Salafi scholars do not rely on assistance from non-believers to combat the jihadis. Fighting against the jihadis and khaarijites is an obligation in Islam, irrespective of any external support. This is because the Prophet has cautioned us about their malevolence and deviation. The Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “A people will come from the east who recite the Qur’an, but it will not go beyond their throats. They will pass through the religion just as an arrow pierces its target and they will not return to it just as the arrow does not return to the bow”. [(4)] Visit website: https://www.kharijites.com/kj/

Imaam Wahb Ibn Munabbih [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “I was acquainted with the early period of Islam. By Allah, the Khaawaarij have never had a group except that Allah caused it to split because of their evil state of affairs. Never did one of them publicize his opinion except that Allah caused his neck to be struck. Never did the Muslim Ummah unite behind a man from the Khawaarij. If Allah allowed the opinion of the Khawaarij to be accepted and established, then the earth would have been corrupted, the carriageways would have been cut off, Hajj to the sacred house of Allah would have ceased and the affair of Islam would have reverted to ignorance until the people seek shelter in the mountains as they did in the time of ignorance. If ten or twenty men among them were to rise, there would not be a man among them except that he claims the khilaafah for himself- every man among them would have ten thousand other men with him and all of them fighting each other, accusing one another of disbelief until the believer fears for himself, his religion, his life, his family, his wealth, and would not know where to travel or who to be with”. [(5)]

Imaam Ibn Katheer [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said, “If they ever gained strength, they would surely corrupt the whole of the earth, Iraq and Syria (Shaam) – they would not leave a baby, male or female, neither a man or a woman, because as far as they are concerned the people have caused corruption, a corruption that cannot be rectified except by mass killing”.More detail by Shaikh Abu Khadeejah [may Allaah preserve him]: https://www.abukhadeejah.com/isis-in-iraq-syria-ibn-kathir-died-774-ah-if-the-khawaarij-ever-gained-strength-in-iraq-and-syria-there-would-be-mass-killing/

The deceivers stated: “At the Madkhalist movement’s inception in the early 1990s, the governments of Saudi Arabia and Egypt promoted the group as a counterbalance to more extreme elements of the wider Islamist movement. During this time, a number of radical Jihadists converted to Madkhalism, especially in the Salafist stronghold of Buraidah”.

Response: It is praiseworthy when Muslim authorities oppose the methods of the Takfeeris and misguided political activists, as it aligns with the approach of the righteous predecessors. It is strictly forbidden to rebel against Muslim rulers or incite rebellion, even in the case of oppression. We have previously shared explicit evidence on this matter, and we provide the link once more: https://abukhadeejah.com/the-tyranny-of-the-rulers-a-reason-for-rebellion/

Instead of admitting that whoever abandoned the Takfeeris’ path and accepted the Creed and methodology of the pious predecessors in dealing with the rulers was indeed guided correctly, the cretins at Wikipedia attribute it to conversion to so-called Mad’khalism. As for the sensible people, they praise Allah for guiding them to the Sunnah as Abu Isma’īl Al-Harawi (d. 481H) stated in his tremendous work entitled, “The Dispraise of Theological Rhetoric and its People” with his chain of narration to Al-A’mash from Mujāhid who said: “I do not know which of the two blessings of Allah upon me is greater, that He guided me to Islam or that He saved from [following] these desires?!” — Dhamm Al-Kalām wa Ahlihi, 4/56 no. 786. [(6)]

The deceivers stated: “In Kuwait, the Madkhali movement was nurtured around individuals who would separate from “mainstream” Salafism in 1981 due to many amongst them entering into the political arena”.

Response: The illegal partisans in Kuwait and their head are well-known and that is none else but Abdur Rahmaan Abdul Khaaliq and his ilk. http://www.ikhwanis.com/articles/zpjonpt-imaam-abd-al-azeez-bin-bazs-refutation-of-abd-al-rahman-abd-al-khaliq-takfiri-qutbi-turathi-part-4.cfm

It is clear that the deceivers and pseudo-researchers at Wikipedia tried to tell a story without including important information. They focus on Al-Allaamah Rabee because he exposed the leaders of Bidah, like the Takfeeri Sayyid Qutb and the political activist and Sufi Hasan al-Bannah, and their supporters. However, it was actually Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz and other senior scholars who suggested that the Takeeris and their followers be imprisoned by the Saudi authorities. To fully understand these events, one must read the insightful series by the seasoned elder student of knowledge Shaikh Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq [may Allah protect him and his family from all evil Aameen].

[7] 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.

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 at Wikipedia stated, “The movement has, in essence, been a reaction against the Muslim Brotherhood, rival Sahwa movement as well as the Qutbi movement; Sayyid Qutb, that movement’s figurehead, is considered to be an apostate by Madkhali and his movement”.[End of quote]

They say that this group known as the Mad’khalis (so-called Mad’khalis) was born out of opposition to the Muslim Brotherhood, the rival Sahwa movement, and the Qutbi movement! Indeed, this claim demonstrates the repugnant ignorance of these pseudo-researchers once again, due to the fact that the Kharijite methodology of the “Muslim Brotherhood Sect” and the “Qutbis” emerged during the era of the Sahaabah, and this destructive methodology has always been refuted in both the Books of Aqeedah and the scholars’ discussions regarding the deviant sects in the Ummah. Hafs Bin Humaid [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: I said to Abdullaah Ibnul Mubaarak [may Allah have mercy upon him], “How many sects have this Ummah spilt into?” He said, “The foundation of the sects are four: the Shia, the Harooriyyah (i.e. khawaarij), the Qadariyyah, and the Murji’ah. The Shia (further) split into twenty-two sects, the Hurooriyyah (further) split into twenty-one sects, the Qadariyyah (further) split into sixteen sects and the Murji’ah (further) split into thirteen sects. [(2)]

The above-mentioned deviant sects have been discussed by Ahlus Sunnah, both past and current, and each one is distinct from the others. Must-read articles:

https://www.aqidah.com/creed/articles/flqoi-the-splitting-of-the-muslim-ummah-part-4.cfm

Indeed, contemporary deviant groups and sects have already followed in the footsteps of the early deviant sects, and there is no doubt that Ikhwaan Al-Muslimeen (The Muslim Brotherhood Sect) and the Qutbies have had their fair share of this falsehood and deviation. Articles you should read:

Whether a group is called “The Muslim Brotherhood,” “Qutbi,” or “Islamic State (ISIS),” the fact remains that these groups subscribe to and propagate the khawaarij methodology, and scholars have not ceased refuting any group that subscribes to the methodology of any of the deviated sects. So, based on the imaginations of the deluded researchers at Vikipedia and elsewhere, it would be desirable or obligatory to concoct a specific group for every Salafi Scholar who has refuted the ideas of the Qutbies and the Muslim Brotherhood, namely Baazism for Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz, Fawzaanism for Al-Allamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan, Jaamism for Al-Allamah Muhammad Amaan Al-Jaami, Uthaymism for Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saalih Al-Uthaymeen, Jaabirism for Al-Allamah Ubaid Bin Abdillah Al-Jaabi, Al-Albaanism for Imaam Al-Albaanee, Abbaadism for Al-Allamah Abdul Muhsin Al-Abbaad, Luhaydanism for Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Luhaydaan, Salihism for Al-Allaamah Salih Aala Ash-Shaikh, Bukhaarism for Shaikh Abdullah Al-Bukhaari, Dhifirism for both Shaikh Khalid Adh-Dhafiri and Shaikh Abdullah Adh-Dhafiri etc. Imagine the response these cretins would receive if they approached Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan or Al-Allaamah Saalih Aala Shaikh and claimed that both of them deserved to be given a group name or that they both deserved to be called Mad’khalists for their writings against the Takfeeris among whom the Qutbis and Muslim Brotherhood Sects are the most active?!

The deluded researchers at Vikipedia say that Mad’khalism (i.e. so-called Mad’khalism) is a reaction against the rival Sahwa movement. Indeed, what must be made known as we stated earlier is that the scholars of Islam – throughout Islamic History – rebut any individual or group that opposes the sound Prophetic path whether in relation to beliefs, acts of worship, politics, enjoining good and forbidding evil, etc. When the Khawaarij first appeared and manifested their misguided zeal for upholding the pure Shariah, the Sahaabah clarified their misguidance. Ubaydullah Ibn Abee Raafi [may Allah have mercy upon him] reported that the Haruriyya (Khawarij) came out against Ali Ibn Abee Taalib [may Allah be pleased with him] and said, “There is no judgement except Allah”. Ali said, “A statement of truth by which is intended falsehood. Verily, Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] described some people and I recognized their description in these people. They speak the truth with their statements but it does not go beyond this”, then (the narrator) pointed to his throat. [Sahih Muslim 1066]

Ibn Abbas [may Allah be pleased with him and his father] debated with the Khawaawij and said to them, “As for your statement that Ali has appointed men to judge in an affair which only Allah can judge”, I recite to you a judgment given to men in the matter of the price of a rabbit and other hunted animals: “O you who believe! Kill not game while you are in a state of Ihram for Hajj or ‘Umrah (pilgrimage), and whosoever of you kills it intentionally, the penalty is an offering, brought to the Ka’bah, of an eatable animal (i.e. sheep, goat, cow, etc.) equivalent to the one he killed, as adjudged by two just men among you…”. [Surah Al-Maa’idah. Ayah 95] I implore you by Allah, is the judgment of men in hunted animals better or their judgment regarding their lives and reconciliation between them? You know that if Allah had willed, he would have judged himself and not appointed men. Regarding a woman and her husband, Allah Almighty said:

وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ شِقَاقَ بَيْنِهِمَا فَٱبْعَثُوا۟ حَكَمًا مِّنْ أَهْلِهِۦ وَحَكَمًا مِّنْ أَهْلِهَآ إِن يُرِيدَآ إِصْلَٰحًا يُوَفِّقِ ٱللَّهُ بَيْنَهُمَآ

If you fear dissension between them, send a judge from his family and a judge from her family. If they desire reconciliation, Allah will facilitate it between them. [Surah An-NIsaa. Ayah 35] So, Allah has made the judgment of men an established precedent (based on the final divine revelation – the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah). [As-Sunan Al-Kubraa 15389] [Read here a detailed version of this story: https://islamtees.uk/2012/10/02/the-great-debate-of-ibn-abbas-with-the-khawarij/ ]

Therefore, in order to distinguish between fact and fiction when discussing the Sahwa-Islamic Awakening, one must be familiar with the sound Prophetic approach because it is well-known to the Salafiyyoon that the groups either deviated towards extremism or negligence while in pursuit of revival, so the upright scholars either warn the Muslims in general or refute the deviants. Al-Allaamah Saalih al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] said:

The Islamic Awakening didn’t start in these days or in this era; rather, it began when Allah sent His Prophet with the message of Islam, which the people embraced in large numbers and groups. All the praises and thanks be to Allah, good has not ceased to continue in this Ummah, as the Prophet said, “There will not cease to be a group amongst my Ummah manifest (upon the truth). They will neither be harmed by those who forsake them nor by those who oppose them until the command of Allah come to pass [i.e. the day of judgment] whilst they are upon that”. Although the struggle between truth and falsehood continues, there are still callers to the truth and its helpers–those who follow the correct methodology and rise up to call it. The Ummah has not been all asleep or misguided in (any) era (during) the various eras to the extent that a group arose giving itself a name or the name “Islamic Awakening” because the meaning of this is that the entire Islamic World was misguided before these people (initiated) the awakening. This contradicts the statement of the Prophet “There will not cease to be a group amongst my Ummah manifest upon the truth”, and his statement, “My Ummah will never unite upon misguidance”.

Indeed, when carried out on the basis of the methodology of the righteous callers and that of the pious predecessors- the book of Allah, the Sunnah, and that which the pious predecessors of this Ummah were upon- and far removed from affiliations that are in opposition to the methodology of the pious predecessors, this (revival) is commended and safe from criticism. Its goal should be to become acquainted with the truth in order to act and call for it and to become acquainted with falsehood in order to avoid and warn against it, but its goal cannot be to seek leadership or ascendency in the earth and revolt against the Ja’maa’ah. This is neither the correct Dawah methodology nor that of the pious predecessors; rather, it is the methodology of the Khawaarij and the Mutazilah-those who have deviated from the methodology of the Qur’an, the (authentic) Sunnah’, and the path of the pious predecessors. (They) were a disgrace in Islamic History and a wound in the body of the Ummah. We ask Allah to guide the misguided Muslims to what is correct. [(3)] 

All praise and thanks be to Allah, is this clarification by Al-Allaamah Salih Al-Fawzaan, not the identical one given by all scholars who adhere to the correct methodology of the pious forefathers? Yes, certainly, it is the same methodology taught by Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz, Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen, Imaam Al-Albaanee, and al-Allaamah Saalih al-Luhaydaan [may Allah have mercy on them] and others. So, will the cretins and compulsive liars at Wikipedia give Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan the fictitious name Mad’khali because he opposes the Qutbies’ and Muslim Brotherhood’s flawed methodology in their pursuit of revival?!

Finally, the vicious liars at Wikipedia then stated that Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali declares Sayyid Qutb an apostate:

We challenge Wikipedia’s spiteful, compulsive liars to identify a single unambiguous remark of Al-Allaamah Rabee that demonstrates that he has declared misguided Qutb an apostate (i.e. one who was a Muslim but has been ejected from the fold of Islam). If they do not offer their evidence, we say to them, “May Allah’s curse be upon the liars.”

[6] 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.

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]

Imam Abu Hatim Ar-Raazee [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “A sign of the proponents of Bidah is that they speak ill of those who adhere to the authentic narrations of the pious predecessors”. [Aqeedah As-Salaf 105]

The cretins at Wikipedia stated, “Madkhalis, in contrast to members of other groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic State, have been described as very simple men who do not have the same level of intellectual depth and knowledge. As such, they are viewed as less of a threat by their opponents”. [End of quote]

Once again, based on the illusion regarding the existence of a group known as Mad’khalis, the compulsive liars at Wikipedia invented a characteristic for this imaginary group that they claim distinguishes it from two other groups, namely the Islamic State (ISIS) and Ikhwaan Al-Muslimeen (The Muslim Brotherhood).

First, the goal of the cretins at Wikipedia in mentioning these two other groups besides the fictitious Mad’khali group is to merely make a false comparison while purposefully refraining from distinguishing between truth and falsehood because these pseudo researchers approach the subject matter related to the various groups that ascribe to Islam in the same way they seek to compare and distinguish between different ideologies. However, neither they nor the ideologues can hide the fact that ideologies are concocted by men and their proponents do not have an infallible text to judge between them, whereas any disagreement or debate between Muslims as well as others is to be referred back to the infallible final revelation, as Allah says:

وَمَا ٱخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ مِن شَىْءٍ فَحُكْمُهُۥٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبِّى عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ

And in whatsoever you differ, the decision thereof is with Allah (He is the ruling Judge). (And say O Muhammad to these polytheists:) Such is Allah, my Lord in Whom I put my trust, and to Him, I turn in all of my affairs and in repentance. [Surah Ash-Shuraa. Ayah 10]

The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said: “Verily he among you who lives long will see a lot of disagreement, so you must adhere to my Sunnah and to the Sunnah of the Khulafa ar-Rashideen [the rightly guided caliphs- AbuBakr, Umar, Uthmaan and Ali]. Cling to it stubbornly [literally: with your molar teeth]. Beware of newly invented matters [in the religion- related to beliefs and acts of worship], for verily every bidah (innovation in the religion) is misguidance. [Hadith 28. (Forty Hadith of An-Nawawi)]

Indeed, nothing remains after the preceding clarification other than to present the reality of the two groups – the “Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic State (ISIS),” and may Allah bless our elder teachers for revealing the reality of these Bidah groups. Read below:

Second, the compulsive liars at Wikipedia said that the Mad’khalis (i.e. so-called adherents to a strain of thought known as Mad’khalism) “Have been described as very simple men who do not have the same level of intellectual depth and knowledge. As such, they are viewed as less of a threat by their opponents”. [End of quote]

In the above claim, the liars desperately attempted to present a fictitious trait of the so-called Mad’khalis, which they say is lack of intellectual depth and knowledge in comparison to other groups. Once again the repugnant ignorance of these pseudo-researchers manifests because the intellect is not the criterion by way of which guidance and misguidance are distinguished in the Sight of Allah, rather, a believer is commanded to adhere to the divine revelation – the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah.  Allah [The Most High] says:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ

O you who believe! Do not put (yourselves) forward before Allah and His Messenger, and fear Allah. Verily! Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. O you who believe! Raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet. [Surah Al-Hujuraat. Ayaat 1-2]

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: When it is the case that Allah forbade us from giving precedence to (ourselves) over the Messenger, then which type of precedence to oneself over the Messenger can possibly be more severe than precedence to one’s intellect over the revelation he was sent with?! Many of the pious predecessors said, “Do not say anything until the Messenger speaks and do not act until he commands you”. The most disobedient individual among the people, and the worst in terms of giving precedence to himself over the Messenger, is the one who gives precedence to his or another person’s intellect over the revelation with which the Messenger was sent. And when it is the case that Allah has forbidden them from raising their voices above the voice of the Messenger, how about elevating their intellects above the Messenger’s statements and the revelation he brought? [(2)]

Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: What is required of the People of Imaan is that they be followers of the religion rather than innovators and that they refrain from putting themselves forward before Allah and His Messenger. The scholars say, “Do not speak until you are commanded by Allah and His Messenger and do not act until the Messenger acts and legislates; do not put (yourself) forward before him with either speech or action. Be followers of what has been prescribed and made clear to you in the (Islamic) legislation, and this is how the people of Imaan should be, neither innovate acts of worship nor rulings in Allah’s Shariah.

[وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيم – And fear Allah. Verily! Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing] -Meaning, Allah hears their statements, and nothing about your situation is hidden from Him. He knows the truth you utter and everything else you say, and He knows what you do. Be mindful of Him and be warned against (disobeying Him), for nothing is hidden from Him. He hears you and is aware of your situation. As a result, it is incumbent upon you to be followers rather than innovators in Allah’s Shariah. [(3)]

The Imam was also asked: “Do those who rely on their intellects to understand many religious matters fall into the category of those who are mistaken?”

Response: It is incumbent upon him not to rely on his intellect, but rather to study the texts and rely on the divine texts from Allah’s and the Messenger’s speech since there is guidance and direction towards good in them. The intellect can be correct or incorrect. Because of their intellects, the sects that reject Ahlus Sunnah were destroyed (i.e. misguided). They believed that they had good intellects and that their intellects arrived at what was correct, so they opposed the (divine) texts through their stagnated intellects, which they believed were sound.

What, other than their corrupt intellects led the Jahmiyyah to deny Allah’s Perfect Names and Attributes? What, other than their corrupt intellects led the Mutazilah to negate the attributes of Allah and declared that the sinners will remain in hell forever? (i.e. that the one who commits major sins besides Shirk is neither a disbeliever nor a believer in this worldly life, but will abide in the fire forever in the Afterlife). Similarly, their followers who repeat this speech are in their position. What, other than their corrupt intellects led the Khawaarij to excommunicate the people for committing sins – that the sinner is a disbeliever and that he will remain in the fire forever?!

Similarly, this is true of others among the proponents of Bidah. They are destroyed by their intellects because they believe they are secure, sound, good, and infallible, whereas that is not the case; rather, they are not infallible. They make a lot of mistakes, but they have a good suspicion of their intellects and a bad suspicion of the divine texts, so they are ruined. It is incumbent to have a good suspicion of the divine texts and an evil suspicion of the intellect and to submit the intellect to the divine texts. The texts are infallible if their chain of transmission is established to be authentic. As for the intellects, they are fallible. A person is susceptible to mistakes, shortcomings and desires. As for the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him], what he conveyed from Allah is infallible. Likewise, the Qur’an is infallible- the speech of Allah. Therefore, it is obligatory that the Qur’an and Sunnah pass judgement on your intellect and that you give precedence to the Qur’an and Sunnah over your intellect- over the intellect of the Shaikh, the Mashaayikh, your forefathers, ancestors and all the people. The texts are given precedence over all the intellects. [(4)]

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] also said: It is said that Iblees was distanced (from Allah’s Mercy) due to false interpretation. He made an analogy and gave it precedence over the divine text – that his reasoning by analogy takes precedence over the command to prostrate. [أنا خير منه – I (Iblees) am better than him (i.e. Aadam)]; that a virtuous one cannot humble himself to one who has been given virtue over him; then he said: [خلقتني من نار وخلقته من طين – You (Allah) created me from fire, and him (Adam) you created from clay].

He thought that this reasoning by analogy that resembled truth, despite being wrong, would aid him in his false interpretation. Then what happened to transpired and he became the leader of everyone–until the day of judgement–who gives a false interpretation of the texts. Many people in this world are followers of this cursed leader. If you contemplate the vast majority of the doubts that are presented as the truth by those who misinterpret the texts and seek to disprove them, you will discover that they are similar to the doubts that Iblees attempts to present as truth. So, someone says: “If the intellect and the divine text conflict, give the intellect the upper hand”. This is where this principle comes from, and he utilises it as a fundamental principle to reject the divine texts that he believes are in opposition to the intellect, much as his leader Iblees said that a (so-called) rational proof contradicted the instruction to make Sujood. This doubt arose as a result of his pride, which stopped him from submitting to the clear texts of the divine revelation. Similarly, every false disputer against the divine texts does so out of pride. Allah [The Exalted] said:

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي آيَاتِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَانٍ أَتَاهُمْ ۙ إِن فِي صُدُورِهِمْ إِلَّا كِبْرٌ مَّا هُم بِبَالِغِيهِ ۚ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ

Verily, those who dispute about the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, without any authority having come to them, there is nothing else in their breasts except pride [to accept you (Muhammad ) as a Messenger of Allah and to obey you]. They will never have it (i.e. Prophethood which Allah has bestowed upon you). So seek refuge in Allah (O Muhammad from the arrogants). Verily, it is He Who is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer]. [Surah Ghaafir. Aayah 56] [(5)]

Indeed, there is no honour for the one who wilfully misinterprets the Quran and falls into bidah, then pretends to be superior in intelligence, because all of this is a legacy of Iblees. The Salafiyyoon follow the true texts, the Qur’an and Sunnah, as practised and understood by the Sahaabah. Imaam Ash-Shaatibee [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: “Know that Allah has established this Shari’ah as evidence against the creation (i.e. humanity and jinn) – the old and the young, the obedient and the disobedient, the upright and the wicked. He did not specify the proof against anyone in exclusion of another person. Furthermore, all other revealed laws were established as evidence against all other nations to whom they were revealed. The Shariah is the judge, both in specific and in general, the (means of judgement) and the judge over all those who have reached the age of responsibility. It is the path connected to (what Allah has ordained) and it is the Greatest Guide. And have you not read Allah’s statement?

وَكَذَٲلِكَ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ رُوحً۬ا مِّنۡ أَمۡرِنَا‌ۚ مَا كُنتَ تَدۡرِى مَا ٱلۡكِتَـٰبُ وَلَا ٱلۡإِيمَـٰنُ وَلَـٰكِن جَعَلۡنَـٰهُ نُورً۬ا نَّہۡدِى بِهِۦ مَن نَّشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا‌ۚ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَہۡدِىٓ إِلَىٰ صِرَٲطٍ۬ مُّسۡتَقِيمٍ۬

And thus We have sent to you (O Muhammad) Ruhan (an Inspiration, and a Mercy) of Our Command. You knew not what is the Book, nor what is Faith? But We have made it (this Qur’an) a light wherewith We guide whosoever of Our slaves We will. And verily, you (O Muhammad) are indeed guiding (mankind) to the Straight Path (i.e. Allah’s religion of Islamic Monotheism).’’ [Surah Ash-Shuraa. Ayah: 52]

He (the Messenger) was the first to be guided to the Book and Imaan, followed by others who followed him. The Book is the Guide, and the Sunnah that was sent down to him explains that guidance [i.e. the Sunnah and the Qur’an explain each other]. It guides all of creation [including mankind and Jinn]. When this is the case, the Shariah is worthy of being the decisive proof against them (i.e. against humans and Jinn) as well as a light that guides people to the truth. Their nobility is determined by how completely they embrace its rulings–through acting on them in speech, belief, and deeds–rather than merely due to the level of their intellects or nobility among their people. This is because Allah [The Most High] determined nobility through Taqwa and no other than it. Allah [The Most High] said: [إِنَّ أَڪۡرَمَكُمۡ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَتۡقَٮٰكُمۡ‌ۚ – Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has more fear of Allah. [Surah Al-Hujuraat. Verse 13] The one who is more steadfast in his adherence to the Shari’ah is more deserving of honour and nobility”. [(6)]

To conclude, the compulsive liars should understand that a person’s so-called superior intelligence is not a criterion of guidance or misguidance; rather, what is given consideration is one’s adherence to the clear divine texts – the Qur’an and the Sunnah as understood by the Sahaabah. What good would intellects be to the inhabitants of the fire of hell (may Allah protect us from it) if they did not utilise their faculties as their Lord commanded?!

Allah [The Exalted] says:
وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لَّا يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ ءَاذَانٌ لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَآ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ كَٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰفِلُونَ

And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray. It is they who are the heedless. [Surah Al-A’raaf. Ayah 179]

Allah [The Exalted] said:
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِىٓ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ

And they will say, “If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze.” [Surah Al-Mulk. Ayah 10]

We ask Allah
اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِي الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي
وَأَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي
وَأَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَادِي
وَاجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ
وَاجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ

O Allah! Rectify my religion for me, which is the safeguard of my affairs; rectify my worldly [affairs], wherein is my livelihood; and rectify my Afterlife to which is my return, and make life for me [as a means of] increase in every good and make death for me as a rest from every evil.

Popes Received a Deserved Precise Response From An Erudite Contemporary Senior Scholar of The Ummah [Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali]

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

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] stated:

It has been broadcasted and spread in the media, including via broadcasts, newspapers, and websites, that the Pope of the Vatican Benedict the 16th attacked Islam and Allah’s Messenger, Muhammad [peace and blessings be upon him], describing him and his message to be evil and rough. This is a strange and astounding affair that contradicts sound reasoning and intelligence, and the evident reality of Islam – the Islam through which Allah removed humankind out of darkness (and entered them) into light, (removed them) from the tyranny of (false or distorted) religions to the justice of Islam, which (even) the people of intelligence amongst its enemies bear witness to. I will not prolong my praise of Islam and the Messenger of Islam, because indeed the world and the libraries are filled with it, so I say:

Indeed, Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger- truly and truthfully. Allah sent him as a mercy to the entire creation, as a bearer of glad tidings, a warner, a caller to (the path of) Allah, and an illuminating lamp (through Allah’s instructions from the Qur’an and the Sunnah). He came honouring the Prophets and their books; rather he came with love for them, belief in them and their books. Allah [The Exalted] said:

آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللّهِ وَمَلآئِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لاَ نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ

The Messenger (Muhammad ) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. They say, “We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers”. [Surah Al-Baqarah. Ayah 285]

Allah [The Exalted] – whilst commanding the Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] and his Ummah- stated:

قُولُواْ آمَنَّا بِاللّهِ وَمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْنَا وَمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَالأسْبَاطِ وَمَا أُوتِيَ مُوسَى وَعِيسَى وَمَا أُوتِيَ النَّبِيُّونَ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ لاَ نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ

Say (O Muslims), “We believe in Allah and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma’il (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Ya’qub (Jacob), and to Al-Asbat [the twelve sons of Ya’qub (Jacob)], and that which has been given to Musa (Moses) and ‘Iesa (Jesus), and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islam).” [Surah Al-Baqarah. Ayah 136]

Allah [The Exalted] said:

قُلْ آمَنَّا بِاللّهِ وَمَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَمَا أُنزِلَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَالأَسْبَاطِ وَمَا أُوتِيَ مُوسَى وَعِيسَى وَالنَّبِيُّونَ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ لاَ نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ

Say (O Muhammad ): “We believe in Allah and in what has been sent down to us, and what was sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma’il (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Ya’qub (Jacob) and Al-Asbat [the twelve sons of Ya’qub (Jacob)] and what was given to Musa (Moses), ‘Iesa (Jesus) and the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between one another among them and to Him (Allah) we have submitted (in Islam).” [Surah Aal Imran. Ayah 84]

Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] brought Adl and Ihsan, forbidding indecency, evil and transgression. Allah [The Exalted] said:

إِنَّ اللّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالإِحْسَانِ وَإِيتَاء ذِي الْقُرْبَى وَيَنْهَى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاء وَالْمُنكَرِ وَالْبَغْيِ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

Verily, Allah enjoins Al-Adl (i.e. justice and worshipping none but Allah Alone – Islamic Monotheism) and Al-Ihsan [i.e. to be patient in performing your duties to Allah, totally for Allah’s sake and in accordance with the Sunnah (legal ways) of the Prophet in a perfect manner], and giving (help) to kith and kin (i.e. all that Allah has ordered you to give them e.g., wealth, visiting, looking after them, or any other kind of help, etc.): and forbids Al-Fahsha’ (i.e all evil deeds, e.g. illegal sexual acts, disobedience of parents, polytheism, to tell lies, to give false witness, to kill a life without right, etc.), and Al-Munkar (i.e all that is prohibited by Islamic law: polytheism of every kind, disbelief and every kind of evil deeds, etc.), and Al-Baghy (i.e. all kinds of oppression), He admonishes you, that you may take heed. [Surah An-Nahl. Ayah 90]

He brought Jihad to uphold the statement of Allah [i.e. none has the right to be worshipped except Allah] and eliminate disbelief, polytheism and corruption. Musa [Moses – (peace and blessings be upon him)] and the Prophets of the Children of Israel preceded him in this. And he brought Qisaas [the law of Equality in punishment] and Hudood [prescribed limits related to lawful and unlawful based on the Qur’an and Sunnah] to protect religion, lives, honour and wealth. And indeed, Musa (Moses) and the Prophets of the children of Israel after him preceded Muhammad in this affair, and that is good, benevolence, preservation of honour and wealth… to establish security and safety, facilitate (sound, lawful things that are) beneficial and ward off harm. No one describes Muhammad and his message as evil except a disbelieving liar who attacks Musa and his message, and attacks the Prophets after him who used to rule by the Torah. Allah [The Exalted] said:

إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَا التَّوْرَاةَ فِيهَا هُدًى وَنُورٌ يَحْكُمُ بِهَا النَّبِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ أَسْلَمُواْ لِلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَالرَّبَّانِيُّونَ وَالأَحْبَارُ بِمَا اسْتُحْفِظُواْ مِن كِتَابِ اللّهِ وَكَانُواْ عَلَيْهِ شُهَدَاء فَلاَ تَخْشَوُاْ النَّاسَ وَاخْشَوْنِ وَلاَ تَشْتَرُواْ بِآيَاتِي ثَمَناً قَلِيلاً وَمَن لَّمْ يَحْكُم بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللّهُ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْكَافِرُونَ وَكَتَبْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهَا أَنَّ النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِ وَالْعَيْنَ بِالْعَيْنِ وَالأَنفَ بِالأَنفِ وَالأُذُنَ بِالأُذُنِ وَالسِّنَّ بِالسِّنِّ وَالْجُرُوحَ قِصَاصٌ فَمَن تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٌ لَّهُ وَمَن لَّمْ يَحْكُم بِمَا أنزَلَ اللّهُ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

Verily, We did send down the Taurat (Torah) [to Musa (Moses)], therein was guidance and light, by which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to Allah’s Will, judged the Jews. And the rabbis and the priests [too judged the Jews by the Taurat (Torah) after those Prophets] for to them was entrusted the protection of Allah’s Book, and they were witnesses thereto. Therefore fear not men but fear Me (O Jews) and sell not My Verses for a miserable price. And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the Kafirun (i.e. disbelievers – of a lesser degree as they do not act on Allah’s Laws ). 45. And We ordained therein for them: “Life for life , eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal.” But if anyone remits the retaliation by way of charity, it shall be for him an expiation. And whosoever does not judge by that which Allah has revealed, such are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers – of a lesser degree). [Surah Al-Maa’idah. Ayaat 44-45]

Allah [The Exalted] said: [وَلْيَحْكُمْ أَهْلُ الإِنجِيلِ بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللّهُ فِيهِ وَمَن لَّمْ يَحْكُم بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللّهُ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ – Let the people of the Injeel (Gospel) judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed (then) such (people) are the Fasiqun (the rebellious i.e. disobedient (of a lesser degree) to Allah]. [Surah Al-Maa’idah. Ayah 47]

Indeed, the Jews and Christians disbelieved in the Torah and the Injeel (i.e. those amongst them who disbelieved during and after the departure of their Prophets), and they did not act according to the (sound) beliefs and rulings in them. And they belied Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him], who came to confirm the Prophets and their books, including the Torah and the Injeel. They disbelieved in Muhammad and what was included in his message of ratification of all the Prophets and ratification of what is in the Torah and the Injeel, and what is in them of (sound) beliefs and rulings, except what Islam abrogated.

And they fought him with the fiercest of war, especially their rabbis, monks and popes, out of arrogance, envy and transgression after they distorted their books and manipulated their texts, and turned what they contained of (sound) beliefs, monotheism and faith into polytheism and disbelief, and invalidated the rulings in them!! So if this is their stance towards their books that they claim to believe in, then how is it difficult for them to disbelieve in Muhammad and in what he brought of the Qur’an, which falsehood cannot approach from before it or behind it [i.e. no devil -amongst humankind and Jinn – can approach it, neither by stealing nor by entering what is not part of it, neither by addition nor taking away something from it, because Allah preserved it at the time of its revelation, preserved its words and meanings, and indeed the One who revealed it (Allah) guaranteed that it will be preserved, as He [The Exalted] said: إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ ۥ لَحَـٰفِظُونَ – Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Quran) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption). (see Tafseer as-Sadi. Surah Fussilat. Ayah 42]

O People of the Scripture! Repent to Allah with sincere repentance, and follow Muhammad, about whom your books and Isa (Jesus) [peace and blessings be upon him] gave glad tidings. Allah says:

وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقاً لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَمُبَشِّراً بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِن بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ فَلَمَّا جَاءهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ قَالُوا هَذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ

And (remember) when ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), said: “O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allah unto you confirming the Taurat [(Torah) which came] before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed . But when he (Ahmed i.e. Muhammad ) came to them with clear proofs, they said: “This is plain magic.” [Surah As-Saff. Ayah 6]

Allah says:

قُلْ يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ تَعَالَوْاْ إِلَى كَلَمَةٍ سَوَاء بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ أَلاَّ نَعْبُدَ إِلاَّ اللّهَ وَلاَ نُشْرِكَ بِهِ شَيْئاً وَلاَ يَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً أَرْبَاباً مِّن دُونِ اللّهِ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَقُولُواْ اشْهَدُواْ بِأَنَّا مُسْلِمُونَ

Say (O Muhammad ): “O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allah, and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: “Bear witness that we are Muslims.” [Surah Al Imran . Ayah 64]

Allah says: [يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لِمَ تَلْبِسُونَ الْحَقَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتَكْتُمُونَ الْحَقَّ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ . O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): “Why do you mix truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know?”] [Surah Al Imran. Ayah 71]

Allah says: [قُلْ يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لِمَ تَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ تَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجاً وَأَنتُمْ شُهَدَاء وَمَا اللّهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ – Say: “O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Why do you stop those who have believed, from the Path of Allah, seeking to make it seem crooked, while you (yourselves) are witnesses [to Muhammad as a Messenger of Allah and Islam (Allah’s Religion, i.e. to worship none but Him Alone)]? And Allah is not unaware of what you do.”] [Surah Al Imran. Ayah 99]

O you who is called the Pope of the Vatican! Submit in Islam and you will be safe, and Allah will reward you twice; but if you refuse, then you are responsible for the sin of your followers among the European and non-European Christians. Submit to Islam so that the adherents to your religion will be safe, and Allah will enter you into a garden as wide as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the righteous, the followers of the truthful messengers. Believe in this great Qur’an, which is (trustworthy in highness and a witness) over all messages, brought the correct beliefs and just rulings that are supported by those with the most superior (sound) intellects and sound (uncorrupted) natural disposition.

Believe – you and your followers – in this Qur’an that contains what I have mentioned to you, and has reached a degree of miraculousness that cannot be matched by any other type – material or religious. Allah challenged Jinn and mankind to come up with the like of it, but they are unable to come up with the like of it; rather, they are unable to come up with ten chapters like it, and not even a chapter like it. They are unable, even if they aid one another. In this alone is what should invite the popes and their followers to (Islamic) faith if they have a share of reason, prudence, comprehension and fairness. Submit in Islam O Popes, surrender and obtain a paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth, or else be sure of the severe, eternal punishment of a fire that Allah has prepared for the unbelievers, whose heat is intense and its bottom is far away. Allah [The Exalted] stated in the Great and His Book full of wisdom (i.e. full of laws, evidences, and proofs): [إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ سَلاسِلا وَأَغْلالاً وَسَعِيراً – Verily, We have prepared for the disbelievers iron chains, iron collars, and a blazing Fire]. [Surah Al-Insaan. Ayah 4]

Allah [The Exalted] says in His Great Book:

وَذَرْنِي وَالْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُولِي النَّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلاً إن لدينا أنكالا وجحيما وطعاما ذا غصة وعذابا أليما يوم يوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ الْجِبَالُ كَثِيباً مَّهِيلاً . إنا أرسلنا إليكم رسولا شاهداً عليكم كما أرسلنا إلى فرعون رسولا فعصى فرعون الرسول فأخذناه أخذا وبيلا

And leave Me Alone to deal with the beliers (those who deny My Verses, etc.), and those who are in possession of good things of life. And give them respite for a little while. Verily, with Us are fetters (to bind them), and a raging Fire. And a food that chokes, and a painful torment. On the Day when the earth and the mountains will be in violent shake, and the mountains will be a heap of sand poured out and flowing down. [Surah Al-Muzzammil. Ayaat 11-14]

O popes! Neither be deceived by the life of this worldly life nor let the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allah. And know that your predecessors have distorted your books, corrupted your religion, made human beings objects of worship besides Allah and claimed that Jesus is the son of Allaah or the third of three -Exalted is Allaah, far away and above is He from this. Allaah stated in His eternal and miraculous book that is preserved against distortion and alteration: [قل هو الله أحد الله الصمد لم يلد ولم يولد ولم يكن له كفوا أحد – Say (O Muhammad): “He is Allah, (the) One. Allah-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks). He begets not, nor was He begotten; and there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him]. [Surah Al-Ikhlaas]

And [The Exalted] stated in this great, miraculous book:

لقد جئتم شيئاً إدا تكاد السماوات يتفطرن منه وتنشق الأرض وتخر الجبال هدا أن دعوا للرحمن ولدا وما ينبغي للرحمن أن يتخذ ولداً إن كل من في السماوات والأرض إلا آتي الرحمن عبداً لقد أحصاهم وعدهم عدا وكلهم آتيه يوم القيامة فرداً

Indeed, you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing. Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins, that they ascribe a son (or offspring or children) to the Most Beneficent (Allah). But it is not suitable for (the Majesty of) the Most Beneficent (Allah) that He should beget a son (or offspring or children). There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Beneficent (Allah) as a slave. Verily, He knows each one of them, and has counted them a full counting. And everyone of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection (without any helper, or protector or defender). [Surah Maryam. Ayaat 89-95]

O People of the Scripture and O Popes! All the messengers – including Jesus [peace be upon him] – came with monotheism and fought against polytheism. Allah [The Exalted] said:

لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُواْ إِنَّ اللّهَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَقَالَ الْمَسِيحُ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اعْبُدُواْ اللّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ مَن يُشْرِكْ بِاللّهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللّهُ عَلَيهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوَاهُ النَّارُ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ

Surely, they have disbelieved who say: “Allah is the Messiah [‘Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary).” But the Messiah [‘Iesa (Jesus)] said: “O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.” Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode . And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) there are no helpers. [Surah Al-Maa’idah. Ayah 72]

So he [Isa (Jesus – peace be upon him)] commanded that Allah is worshipped alone, declared that Allah is his Lord, the Lord of those he addressed and was sent to (as their Messenger), and that whoever associates partners with Allah, then indeed Allah will forbid him from Paradise and his abode is Hell (if he dies in that state and did not repent). Allah [The Exalted] says:

لَّقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلَاثَةٍ ۘ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّا إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۚ وَإِن لَّمْ يَنتَهُوا عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Surely, disbelievers are those who said: “Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity).” But there is no ilah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilah (God -Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them. [Surah Al-Maa’idah. Ayah 73]

O Christians and popes! Refrain from what Allah has warned you against about deifying Jesus and others amongst the creation, otherwise you are upon disbelief and polytheism, and the recompense for that is that Allah will forbid you from entering Paradise and make your abode the Fire (forever if you die in that state and refrain from repentance through Islam).

Do not be deceived by what you found your predecessors upon, your popes and monks, because indeed – By Allah – they were upon falsehood and disbelief, and they have distorted the Torah and the Injeel, as I have told you before. Do not think that Jesus will intercede for you or enter you into paradise and save you from Hell, because this is not in his hand, and because you have opposed him and his belief- the belief in monotheism; and you have taken him as a god, whilst he has declared that one who does so is a disbeliever, and he will free himself from you and your misguidance, and your taking him and his mother as two deities besides Allah. Allah [The Exalted] says:

وَإِذۡ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ يَـٰعِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ ءَأَنتَ قُلۡتَ لِلنَّاسِ ٱتَّخِذُونِى وَأُمِّىَ إِلَـٰهَيۡنِ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ قَالَ سُبۡحَـٰنَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِىٓ أَنۡ أَقُولَ مَا لَيۡسَ لِى بِحَقٍّ‌ۚ إِن كُنتُ قُلۡتُهُ ۥ فَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتَهُ ۥ‌ۚ تَعۡلَمُ مَا فِى نَفۡسِى وَلَآ أَعۡلَمُ مَا فِى نَفۡسِكَ‌ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلَّـٰمُ ٱلۡغُيُوبِ
مَا قُلۡتُ لَهُمۡ إِلَّا مَآ أَمَرۡتَنِى بِهِۦۤ أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّى وَرَبَّكُمۡ‌ۚ وَكُنتُ عَلَيۡہِمۡ شَہِيدً۬ا مَّا دُمۡتُ فِيہِمۡ‌ۖ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيۡتَنِى كُنتَ أَنتَ ٱلرَّقِيبَ عَلَيۡہِمۡ‌ۚ وَأَنتَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ۬ شَہِيدٌ
إِن تُعَذِّبۡہُمۡ فَإِنَّہُمۡ عِبَادُكَ‌ۖ وَإِن تَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ فَإِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ

And (remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): “O ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: ‘Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?’ ” He will say: “Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden and unseen. “Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allah) did command me to say: ‘Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’ And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world). “If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily You, only You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise .” [Surah Al-Maa’idah. 116-118]

This is Jesus disavowing the belief of the Christians and their false belief in him and his mother that they are deities besides Allah, and declares in the presence of Allah that he only commanded people as his Lord commanded him (to worship Allah alone, my Lord and your Lord). Allah is his Lord and the Lord of people, and it is impossible for him to claim deityship for himself and his mother, and command people to associate partners with Allah.

If you deny the realities contained in this speech, argue and dispute about it, then indeed, I (i.e. Rabee Bin Haadi) invite you to Mubahala (see footnote a), just as Allah commanded His truthful and trustworthy Messenger, saying:

فَمَنْ حَآجَّكَ فِيهِ مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْاْ نَدْعُ أَبْنَاءنَا وَأَبْنَاءكُمْ وَنِسَاءنَا وَنِسَاءكُمْ وَأَنفُسَنَا وأَنفُسَكُمْ ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَل لَّعْنَةَ اللّهِ عَلَى الْكَاذِبِينَ

Then whoever disputes with you concerning him [‘Iesa (Jesus)] after (all this) knowledge that has come to you, [i.e. ‘Iesa (Jesus)] being a slave of Allah, and having no share in Divinity) say: (O Muhammad ) “Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves – then we pray and invoke (sincerely) the Curse of Allah upon those who lie.” [Surah Al Imran. Ayah 61]

There is a perfect example – for me and every Muslim – in this to follow Muhammad [may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] And peace be upon those who follow guidance.

———————————–

Footnote a: Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Tamiyyah [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: As for the Christians, then indeed the people of Najraan – from Yemen – came to debate with him [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] in his Masjid, so Allah revealed Surah Al Imraan regarding them. And when his proofs became manifest and it became clear to them that he is a Messenger of Allah sent to them, Allah commanded him that if they do not respond to his call, then he should call them for MUBAAHALAH [i.e. invoke the curse of Allah on the liars]. Allah [The Exalted] says:

فَمَنۡ حَآجَّكَ فِيهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ فَقُلۡ تَعَالَوۡاْ نَدۡعُ أَبۡنَآءَنَا وَأَبۡنَآءَكُمۡ وَنِسَآءَنَا وَنِسَآءَكُمۡ وَأَنفُسَنَا وَأَنفُسَكُمۡ ثُمَّ نَبۡتَہِلۡ فَنَجۡعَل لَّعۡنَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلۡڪَـٰذِبِينَ

Then whoever disputes with you concerning him [‘Iesa (Jesus)] after (all this) knowledge that has come to you, [i.e. ‘Iesa (Jesus)] being a slave of Allah, and having no share in Divinity) say: (O Muhammad) “Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves – then we pray and invoke (sincerely) the Curse of Allah upon those who lie.” [Surah Aal Imraan. Aayah 61]

When he called them for MUBAAHALAH, they asked him to give them some time until they consult one another. So they said to one another, “Do not do this, because by Allah, if he is a Prophet and we do this invocation, then neither we nor our offspring after us will be successful”. So they excused themselves from Mubaahalah and agreed to pay Jizyah, because they were scared of his supplication as they knew that he is Prophet. [An Excerpt from ‘Al-Jawaabus Saheeh. Pages 50-51. Slightly paraphrased]

MUBAAHALAH: Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajr [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said, “There is a benefit in the story of the people of Najraan, and in it is that Mubaahalah is legislated against the opposer when he persists upon [falsehood] after the proofs have been manifested. Indeed, Ibn Abbaas [radiyallaahu-anhumaa] did call to it, then Al-Awzaa’ee [rahimahullaah] and some of the scholars. And that which is well known from experience is that the affair of one who performs Mubaahalah – whilst he is one upon falsehood – does not extend beyond the year of the Mubaahalah. This occurred between me and a person who was fanatically supporting some of the heretics and after two months he could not stand up”. [An Excerpt from ‘Fat-hul Baari’ 12/195. Slightly paraphrased]

Imaam Al Albaanee [may Allaah have mercy upon him] was asked about the ruling on MUBAAHALAH in relation to worldly matters: Question: The hadith regarding the Najran delegation is well known when they came to the Messenger of Allah [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him], and then Allah revealed:

فَمَنۡ حَآجَّكَ فِيهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ فَقُلۡ تَعَالَوۡاْ نَدۡعُ أَبۡنَآءَنَا وَأَبۡنَآءَكُمۡ وَنِسَآءَنَا وَنِسَآءَكُمۡ وَأَنفُسَنَا وَأَنفُسَكُمۡ ثُمَّ نَبۡتَہِلۡ فَنَجۡعَل لَّعۡنَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلۡڪَـٰذِبِينَ

Then whoever disputes with you concerning him [‘Iesa (Jesus)] after (all this) knowledge that has come to you, [i.e. ‘Iesa (Jesus)] being a slave of Allah, and having no share in Divinity) say: (O Muhammad) “Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves – then we pray and invoke (sincerely) the Curse of Allah upon those who lie.” [Surah Aal Imraan. Ayah 61]

So he called them to MUBAAHALAH, but they refused. It is well known to us that MUBAAHALAH is not to be done except in issues related to Aqeedah, but some people amongst the Muslims suggest this ruling in worldly affairs between him and his Muslim brother; meaning, if my Muslim brother owes me money but denies it, then would it be permissible to suggest this ruling between me and my Muslim brother?

Answer: May Allah bless you. The answer to this question is that it is not permissible to suggest this in such a situation or suggest this Shariah ruling in relation to material issues due to two reasons: Firstly, because this story is related to issues of Aqeedah as you have stated today. Secondly, as for the material issues, then Islam has legislated a system and principle for it. He [i.e. the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)] said, “The burden of proof is on the claimant and an oath is a duty upon the one who denies the claim”. So, there is no room for Mubaahalah in this affair, which Allah [The Mighty and Majestic] legislated in that affair between His Messenger [peace and blessing of Allah be upon him] and those Christians of the Najran who denied true Islamic Monotheism and persisted on the Trinity. So, this affair is not suggested in another issue besides this because neither is there a narration of the pious predecessors nor a hadeeth regarding it. However, if it must be done, then it can be suggested when two groups of Muslims differ in some ideas or Aqeedah- for example between the Mutazilah and Ahlus Sunnah. It is possible that if some Mu’tazilee is haughty after discussion and after evidences have been presented, then the Sunnee seeks Mubaahalah from him – that may the curse of Allah be upon the liars. Therefore, it is possible to suggest this in such an affair. (see footnote b) But as for the question with regards to suggesting this affair in issues related to material dispute, then this is not permissible. [An Excerpt from ‘Silsilah Al-Hudaa Wan-Noor 703’. Slightly paraphrased]

[5] 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.

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 liars at Wikipedia stated: “In addition to Arab regimes, US policy-makers and senior advisors to the U.S. State Department have also advised the US government to fund al-Mad’khali and his strain of thought”. [End of quote]

Relationship with Muslim rulers: We’ve already talked about a Muslim’s relationship with the Muslim ruler, regardless of whether the ruler is pious or sinful. Read below:

https://abukhadeejah.com/the-tyranny-of-the-rulers-a-reason-for-rebellion/

Believer’s Bahaviour Towards Muslim Rulers – [Supplicates For Them….]

Relationship with non-Muslims in their lands: On July 28, 2000, Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saalih Al-Uthaymeen [may Allah have mercy on him] explained the Muslim’s relationship with a non-Muslim ruler and their subjects in the West as follows: Likewise, I invite you to have respect for those people who have the right that they should be respected, from those between you and whom there is and agreement (of protection) [i.e. Non-Muslims]. For the land which you are living is such that there is an agreement between you and them. If this were not the case they would have killed you or expelled you. So preserve this agreement, and do not prove treacherous to it, since treachery is a sign of the hypocrites, and it is not from the way of the Believers. And know that it is authentically reported from the Prophet that he said: “Whoever kills one who is under an agreement of protection will not smell the fragrance of Paradise.” Do not be fooled by those sayings of the foolish people: those who say: ‘Those people are Non-Muslims, so their wealth is lawful for us [i.e. to misappropriate or take by way of murder and killing].’ For by Allah – this is a lie. A lie about Allah’s Religion, and a lie in Islamic societies. So we may not say that it is lawful to be treacherous towards people whom we have an agreement with. O my brothers! O youth! O Muslims! Be truthful in your buying and selling, renting, and leasing, and in all mutual transactions. Because truthfulness is from the characteristics of the Believers, and Allah – the Most High – has commanded truthfulness – in the saying of Allah – the Most High –“O you who believe – fear and keep your duty to Allah and be with the truthful”. And the Prophet encouraged truthfulness and said: “Adhere to truthfulness, because truthfulness leads to goodness, and goodness leads to Paradise; and a person will continue to be truthful, and strive to be truthful until he will be written down with Allah as a truthful person”. And he warned against falsehood and said: “Beware of falsehood, because falsehood leads to wickedness, and wickedness leads to the Fire. And a person will continue lying, and striving to lie until he is written down with Allah as a great liar.” O my brother Muslims. O youth. Be true in your sayings with your brothers, and with those Non-Muslims whom you live along with – so that you will be inviters to the Religion of Islam, by your actions and in reality. So how many people there are who first entered Islam because of the behaviour and manners of the Muslims, and their truthfulness, and being truthful in their dealings.

As for the statement of the deluded liars “US policy-makers and senior advisors to the U.S. State Department have also advised the US government to fund al-Mad’khali and his strain of thought”, we must first remind the cretins that Al-Allaamah Rabee does not prioritize his intellect over the final divine revelation; rather, he uses Shariah texts to clarify the truth and refute all callers to falsehood. The religion he adheres to “is not a set of ideas, rather it is a divine revelation sent down – by the Lord of the universe – in the Magnificent Qur’an and the (authentic) Sunnah of the noble Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] – the Messenger who never speaks based on his desires, rather [إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحۡىٌ۬ يُوحَىٰ – It (i.e. the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah conveyed by the Messenger) is nothing else but a revelation that is inspired]. As for an idea, it can be (rejected, disapproved, etc) and debated, and it may be correct or incorrect. Therefore, it is not permissible to associate Islam with the term ‘Idea’ because it is something specifically attributed to the creation [i.e. humankind and Jinn]. An idea can either be correct or wrong, (but) as for the Shariah [i.e. the sound divine law, creed, and acts of worship conveyed by the final Messenger from the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah], it is infallible. Likewise, it is not to be said, an “Islamic idea”, because the scholar who has reached the level of Ijtihaad is restricted by the pure Shariah, so he is not allowed to contemplate (without referring back to infallible texts of the final revelation) and then legislate; rather he searches and follows the legislated Islamic path of (sound) Ijtihaad in order to derive rulings”. (2)

Indeed, if the disbelievers embarked upon funding so-called Mad’khali thought, they would have funded an illusion. Al-Allaamah Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali follows the Qur’an and Sunnah as understood and implemented by the pious predecessors, whereas the disbelievers and liars at Vikipedia follow conjecture and desires, as Allah says:

إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهۡوَى ٱلۡأَنفُسُ‌ۖ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّہِمُ ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ

They follow but a guess and that which they themselves desire, whereas there has surely come to them the Guidance from their Lord! [Surah An-Najm]

Examine an example of the call of this Erudite Salafi Scholar (i.e. Al-Allaamah Rabee) when he stated: “The comprehensive Shariah understanding of Al-Fiqh Fid Deen “Whoever Allah wishes good for, He grants them an understanding of the religion!” When this understanding of the religion is mentioned amongst the people, they understand it to mean the books of Islamic jurisprudence (i.e. the books that discuss the rulings related to prayer, charity, fasting, marriage, etc); this is a deficient understanding. Fiqh (understanding) first and foremost is the understanding of the creed and Islamic monotheism. This is the highest level of Fiqh because the nobility of knowledge is (determined based on the) nobility of its subject matter. The best and noblest subject matter is Islamic Monotheism which teaches the people about the Attributes of their Lord and the perfection of His Attributes, (about) His Oneness, to worship Him alone and sincerely establish the entire religion for His Sake. Therefore, we seek an understanding of Islamic Monotheism from Allah’s Book (the Qur’an), the (authentic) Sunnah of Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him], and from the understanding of our pious predecessors. We seek understanding in all areas of knowledge – understanding of halaal and haraam, acts of worship, mutual dealings, (sound) Islamic politics, economics, and in every affair. All these affairs – and all praise and thanks be to Allah – are extensively (found) within the (message) that Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] brought.

When Fiqh is mentioned, its intended (meaning includes) understanding of every affair that is connected to our religious and worldly affairs, and the foremost of them is the knowledge of Islamic Monotheism. There is nothing that can do without the knowledge of Islamic Monotheism. Some people deeply preoccupy (with other) sciences and subject matters, but he does not know this knowledge that Muhammad brought, to such extent that you find many people who are well versed in language, Islamic jurisprudence, philosophy and the science of rhetoric, but – by Allah – he does not know (the correct meaning] of Laa ilaaha illal laah’ – the Islamic Monotheism Allah sent all the Messengers with- the first and last of them. [وَلَقَدۡ بَعَثۡنَا فِى ڪُلِّ أُمَّةٍ۬ رَّسُولاً أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱجۡتَنِبُواْ ٱلطَّـٰغُوتَ‌ۖ – And verily, We have sent among every Ummah [community, nation] a Messenger [saying]: “Worship Allah [Alone], and avoid [or keep away from] all false deities.” [Surah An-Nahl Ayah 36]

Every Messenger came with this until the advent of the seal of the Messengers Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him], who resided in Makkah for ten years and called to Tawheed (Islamic Monotheism) – the foremost aspect and basis of his call. The prayer – the second pillar of Islam after the testimony of faith Laa ilaaha illal laah – was not legislated until in the 10th year (of his Messengership), and the full details of Zakat were not legislated until [after his migration (to Madeenah) and all the other laws. This shows the importance of Tawheed, so how is it that many people who ascribe to Islaam- those who claim knowledge – are ignorant of it, then how about the ignorant people?! And due to this, misguidance, Bidah, and the worship of graves have become widespread, and this arose due to ignorance regarding the (perfect) Names and Attributes of Allah and negation of Allah’s (perfect) Attributes. (Also), a people from other religions entered into Islam and plotted against the people (through) corrupt sciences – rhetoric, philosophy, forged historical accounts, and what is similar to that, and thus corrupted their creed and methodology”. (3) [End of quote]

Would the unbelievers endorse Al-Allaamah Rabee’s above declaration and disseminate his works translated into English to their colleagues and universities, allowing the Salafiyyoon to promote Tawheed and Sunnah as understood and practiced by the pious predecessors in those institutions and their mainstream media?! There is no question that Allah can guide them to the Qur’an and Sunnah, and the sacred scripture is the sole upright guidance, not so-called Mad’khalism. Al-Allaamah Rabee follows the Qur’an and Sunnah even though the compulsive liars desperately seek to distort or deny what is as clear as the midday sun. Look at some of his rebuttals against the figureheads of kufr and shirk!

Who expects the unbelievers to support the stances of someone who rallies the scholars and senior students of knowledge in the Ummah to examine the unbelievers’ schemes?! Examine the Shaikh’s statement as follows: “So, it is not permissible for the Ulamaa to remain heedless of their plans (i.e. the enemies of Islaam), their actions, their publications, their missionary activities and their various calls (to the Muslims). And also the various poisons they are infusing – which are in opposition to the Qur’an and the Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) and his Sunnah. And nor of what plans they have for (the destruction of) the beliefs and methodologies of Islaam. It is not permissible either, to remain heedless of their concentrated efforts to Christianize or secularize the Muslim youth. And along with that, the Muslim youth and the students are not able to oppose this plan and strategy. Rather it is necessary that the distinguished Ulamaa – those who are experienced and shrewd – it is for such people, in all the places to undertake this duty. So it is obligatory for some of the intelligent and ingenious people from the field of Aqeedah to be mobilised for opposing these plans. And likewise it is a must that the intelligent and distinguished from amongst the specialists in the Sunnah – that they be mobilised for the refutation of these and similarly the eminent and distinguished from amongst those in the fields of Orientalism for the refutation of the plans of the Orientalists.” (Ahl ul-Hadeeth, p.102)

He also says: “I myself believe that it is a benefit – rather it is of necessity – that we know what the enemies are planning for us, and that it is necessary for us to prepare (ourselves in strength) to destroy their plans. However, I do not exaggerate in this matter, rather my view is the view of our Ulamaa and they have all agreed upon this – that amongst the obligatory matters, there are some that are Fard Ain and others that are Fard Kifaayah – and even if knowing the state of the enemies is harmful – it is still necessary for us to know it – but it is treated as Fard Kifaayah. When some attend to it, then the harm is removed from the rest” up until he said: “So I consider that there is no criticism for the Ulamaa and the students of knowledge who take great concern for preserving the Sharee’ah of Allaah – in terms of the Book, the Sunnah, and its understanding – for this is one of the duties of the Kifaayah actions. And I believe that these people are more superior, noble, truthful and of more benefit to Islaam than those who are weak in their knowledge of the religion of Allaah or those who have no share in acquainting themselves with it.” [An excerpt from an article at www.salafipublications.com titled: The Salafis and Looking into the Affairs of the Ummah]

The above is enough to unveil the repugnant illusions of the liars at Wikipedia. Therefore, if these cretins want to demonstrate that they have realised the repugnance of their claims, lies and illusions, let them send these links to the unbelievers and command them to spread the true Salafi path; otherwise, they are among those whose lies are known to everyone with a smidgeon of common sense.
