The Good Effects of The True Mujaddideen Scholars Upon The Ummah- By Imaam Ahmad [rahimahullaah]

Imaam Ahmad [rahimahullaah] said:

All Praise is due to Allaah, Who, in every time period between the [advent of the] Messengers, raises up a group from the People of Knowledge who call the misguided ones to guidance and patiently bear their harm. Through the Book of Allah they give life to the dead, and by Allaah’s light they give sight to the blind. How many a person killed by Iblees have they revived; how many a people astray and wandering [blindly] have they guided; how beautiful their effect has been upon the people and how vile people have been towards them! They repel from the Book of Allaah the distortions of those going beyond bounds, the false claims of the falsifiers and the false interpretations of the ignoramus–those who uphold the banner of innovation and release the fitan. They differ about the Book, oppose the Book and agree to oppose the Book. They speak about Allaah and His Book without knowledge, argue about what is ambiguous in the Book and deceive the ignorant ones with such ambiguities. So we seek refuge with Allaah from the fitan [trials and tribulations] of the misguided ones.”
