Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
Hammaad Bin Zayd said, ”I said to Ayyoub (As-Sakhtiyaanee): Is there more knowledge today or in the past?” So he (Ayyoub) said: ”There is more speech today and more knowledge in the past.”

Ibn Abee Dunyaa (rahimahullaah) narrates from Ad-Dahhaak (rahimahullaah) who said:
”I met a people who used to learn about Wara (i.e. acquainting themselves and being apprehensive about those things which they feared will ruin the affairs of their afterlife and avoiding them); but today they (i.e. the people) learn rhetoric.”

Imaam Ibn Seereen (rahimahullaah) said:
There is nothing more frightening than this Ayah:
[وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُولُ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَبِالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَمَا هُمْ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ]
”And of mankind, there are some who say: “We believe in Allah and the Last Day” while in fact they believe not.” [Q 2:8]

Question:
Concerning the statement of Allaah (The Most High): [وَكَرَّهَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْكُفْرَ وَالْفُسُوقَ وَالْعِصْيَان] – ”And has made disbelief, wickedness and disobedience (to Allah and His Messenger) hateful to you.” [Al-Hujuraat. Ayah 7] Al-Fusooq and Al-Faasiqoon have been mentioned several times in the Qur’aan and the Sunnah, so what is Fusooq and how can a Muslim be careful of becoming from a people who are Faasiqeen?
Answer:
Concerning Allaah’s (The Most High) statement: [وَكَرَّهَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْكُفْرَ وَالْفُسُوقَ وَالْعِصْيَان]- ”And has made disbelief, wickedness and disobedience (to Allah and His Messenger) hateful to you”; He (Glorified Be He) mentioned the three types of acts of disobedience in this noble Ayah:
(A) The type of disobedience that removes a person from the fold of Islaam, such as Kufr (Akbar) and Shirk (Akbar).
(B) The major type of disobedience which is lesser than Kufr (Akbar) and Shirk (Akbar) and it does not remove a person from the Religion but it decreases one’s Imaan—a manifest decrease–; such as fornication, theft, drinking alcohol and other than that of the major sins. They are referred to as Fusooq (wicked deeds) and the person who commits them is referred to as a Faasiq (wicked sinner) because Fisq means removing oneself from obedience to Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic].
(C) Then He (The Most High) mentioned the type of disobedience that is lesser than the major sins and are not tantamount to Fisq, and they are the minor sins.
So Allaah (Glorified Be He) informed (us) that He has made all these three types of disobedience hateful to the people of Imaan and make them have a love for the various types of acts of obedience and righteous actions that draws them close to their Lord.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Shaikh Muhammad Sa’eed Raslaan (may Allaah preserve him) stated:
”It is incumbent upon (a person) to be acquainted with what he criticizes and what he is not to criticize, and to make a distinction between what he commends and what he is not to commend; and if not, then there will be involvement in disparaging (one) who is not to be disparaged or praising without a right reason. And indeed Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajr (rahimahullaah) summarized this (affair) in his statement: ”Recommendation is accepted from the one who is acquainted with its reasons and not from the one who is not acquainted with it; so that he (i.e. a person) may not give a recommendation solely based on what is apparent in the beginning without pursuing (the affair practically) and without examination. Likewise, it is obligatory that disparagement and commendation are not accepted except from a person who is trustworthy and cautious. And disparagement is not accepted from one who exceeds the limits in it, such that he disparages with what does not necessitate rejection of the narration of a Muhaddith, just as (recommendation) is not accepted from the one who solely holds on to the apparent (affair of a person) and then gives a commendation.” [Source:Dawaabit At-Tabdee: page: 61-62]
Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said:
Likewise refuting ahlul bidah such as the Raafidah and other than them; if he (i.e. the person) does not do it with the intention of clarifying the truth and to guide the people out of mercy good treatment towards them, then his action will not be righteous. And if he becomes harsh in censuring bidah and sin, then his intention should be to clarify that which it contains of corruption, so that the slaves are warned against it. [Minhaajus Sunnah 5/239]
Imaam Muslim (rahimahullaah) said:
know-may may Allaah (The Mot High) grant you success-that it is obligatory upon everyone (i.e. the scholars who criticise or commend narrators of hadeeth) to know the distinction between the authentic chains of transmission and the faulty ones, and the (trustworthiness, precision etc) of the narrators of (the authentic chains) as opposed to those who have been charged (with weakness, forgetfulness, fabrication etc in their narrations); so that nothing is transmitted from these narrations except that which whose narrator is sound and blameless in his narrations, and to avoid that which is from those who have been charged with (weakness, forgetfulness, fabrication etc) and the obstinate ones amongst ahlul bidah. [Muqaddimah Saheeh Muslim: page 61]
Shaikh Muhammad Baazmool (may Allaah preserve him) said:
Speaking about the people with either criticism or praise is a field of knowledge in Islam and there are many affairs of Islamic Jurisprudence in which this is found. For example the affair of seeking knowledge: This affair is abiding and there has to be criticism and praise within it. One of the Salaf said that whenever they wanted to listen to hadeeth from a person, they would ask about him until the people thought that they wanted to marry him. And another one said, ‘’Indeed this knowledge is religion so look to the one you take your religion from.’’ What is the meaning of this statement: It means that you are in need of criticism and praise as long as there is knowledge of Islam to be sought after.

All praise is due to Allaah. The Salafi students of knowledge in the West carry out criticism based on knowledge transmitted from the Imaams of the Sunnah in this Era, whilst nullifying the satanic views and innovations of the deviants, the callers to the gates of hellfire and ahlul bidah. As we can see from the above quotes, criticism is not a job that requires zero qualifications; rather the one who applied this statement to the criticisms carried out by the Salafi students of knowledge against the deviants is only seeking to conceal his satanic views and innovations. This statement of his is false and ambiguous when applied to the people of Sunnah because it is ahlul bidah that criticise Ahlus Sunnah based on falsehood and a desire to conceal their destructive innovations; but as for Ahlus Sunnah (the Ulama and their steadfast students), they carry out criticism based on knowledge and justice.

Shaikh Jameel Ar-Rahmaan (rahimahullaah) was murdered on a Friday at the hands of one of the young Kharijites with the support of the people of misguidance; and everyone kept silent. However Safar al-Hawali claimed with his saying: It was a fitnah in which Allaah saved our hands (from involvement), so our tongues were saved (from involvement)! This (statement of Safar) is a statement of truth by way of which falsehood is intended, for they (i.e. Safar and others) did not speak with truth; rather (they did) the opposite, and their tongues were not saved from keeping quiet about falsehood; rather they spoke with falsehood from the angle of not speaking truth out of forsaking (Ahlus Sunnah), and (out of) hiding and defending those whom they have praised for a very long time, such as Hikmatiyaar, Sayyaaf Rabbaanee and those affiliated with them, whose defects were exposed, (and likewise) their resentment towards Tawheed and its people.

Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari (may Allaah preserve him) said:
He (rahimahullaah) established an institute called [(المعهد الشرعي لإعداد الدعاة] in Peshawar. A number of callers (to Islaam) studied in this institute and its aim was to furnish callers (to Islaam) with sound knowledge of the sharia founded upon the Qur’aan and the Sunnah, and the affair was just as he (rahimahullaah) wished. And from the efforts of the institute was the publication of Salafi Books and included amongst them were: [منهج و دراسات لآيات الأسماء والصفات] of Imaam Muhammad Al-Ameen Ash-Shanqeetee (rahimahullaah); [أصول في البدع والسنن] of Al-Allaamah Muhammad Ahmad Al-Adawi (rahimahullaah)—a beneficial and good treatise; and also the book of Al-Allaamah Muhammad Sultaan Al-Ma’soomee Al-Makki (rahimahullaah) titled: [هل المسلم ملزمٌ باتباع مذهب معين من المذاهب الأربعة], and many other books besides them.
All this effort infuriated Ahlul Bidah amongst the hizbiyyeen (i.e. those particular hizbiyyeen at the time) and those affiliated with them; so they pondered, contemplated and masterminded his killing. They embarked upon that which gives a clear indication of their malicious intentions and rage against the Sunnah and its people—those who defend the Sunnah. They waged war against the caller to Tawheed and Sunnah—the one who erected the true flag of Jihaad [i.e. during the Soviet-Afghan war -1979-1989]. So they besieged Sheikh Jameel and surrounded his people, and they sought the aid of the bad, aggressive and deadly people, and every vandal and destructive person—and all this was for the purpose of putting an end to the banner (i.e. the call) to Tawheed and the Sunnah!! Then take admonition, O you with eyes (to see)!

Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari (may Allaah preserve him) said about Shaikh Jameel Ar-Rahmaan (rahimahullaah)
He was scholar and a teacher; active in calling to the Book and the Sunnah; (manifesting) opposition against Bidah and waging war against it; making every endeavour to manifest Tawheed and the Sunnah. He spoke a little, kept quiet a lot and reflected much. A person of (good) ettiquetes, lofty manners alongside a great deal of humility; (a person) of careful thought and consideration; a worshiper, (a man) of abstinence (from the permissible but unnecessary worldly things) and eager in spreading Sunni-Salafi learning….[Abridged and slightly paraphrased. see link: http://www.elbukhari.com/node/31]

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Question:
Shaikh Albaanee, Shaikh Ibn Baaz and Shaikh Uthaymeen have passed away, so who remains from the scholars?
Answer:
Those who remain are numerous and all praise is due to Allaah. The Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) died and his noble companions (radiyallaahu-anhum) remained; Ahmad Ibn Hanbal (rahimahullaah) died and his companions (rahimahumullaah) remained; Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) died and his companions (rahimahumullaah) remained; Ibn Abdul Wahhaab (rahimahullaah) died and his companions (rahimahumullaah) remained; and those ones [i.e. Albaanee, Ibn Baaz, Uthaymeen(rahimahumullaah)] died and their students and brothers remain by Allaah’s Will. The truth will not be lost.
When Umar (radiyallaahu-anhu) was stabbed, it was said to him: ‘’Appoint a successor!’’ He said: ‘’Allaah will not allow His Religion to be lost.’’ So by Allaah this Religion will never be lost. It is upon you to put shoulder to shoulder and embark upon work–raise the flag of the (authentic) Sunnah and the flag of the truth. [The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam)] said: ‘’There will not cease to be a group amongst my Ummah manifest upon the truth–neither will they be harmed by those who betray them nor by those who oppose them till Allaah’s promise come to pass (i.e. the day of Judgement).
By Allaah neither knowledge nor the committee of senior scholars have died–all praise is due to Allaah—and there is good and blessing with them. Our Salafi brothers are in the different regions of the world; the world is filled with senior students of knowledge who fill this gap—all praise is due to Allaah–; so neither can the people of falsehood rejoice nor become happy.
