A reminder for all the Salafi Maraakiz–Fear Allaah (The Most High)

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Ustaadh Amjad Rafiq (may Allaah preserve him and keep him steadfast) wrote:

”The reader should also note that there are those in the West, mingling in the ranks of the Salafis, harbouring sympathy for Yahya al-Hajuri. They withheld their tongues from al-Hajuri but work intrigues to undermine their Salafi brothers and cause dissension. One should beware of this type of faction, for they are intending for the da’wah the same as what al-Hajuri brought upon the da’wah in Yemen. They wish for the Salafi Maraakiz to be undermined and to fall for whatever desires they have and pursue.” [End of quote: see link: alhajuri.com/?dbeusoq  pic.twitter.com/3B3LuBSxbI]

 

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) stated:

”The greatest of reliance and trust in Allaah, is reliance and trust in Allah (whilst) seeking (His) guidance, actualizing Tawheed, following the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and striving against the people of falsehood.  This is the reliance of the Messengers and (that of their true) followers.” [Al-Fawaa-id. Page.138]

 

So if you are from those engaged in running the affairs of the Maraakiz or from those who believe that they understand the refutations of the scholars against Hajoori, then fear Allaah (The Most High).  Be very vigilant regarding your companionship.  Neither are you to entertain nor conceal any affair of falsehood from the likes of these people.  Fear Allaah and do not fear the blame of the blamers.  Seek the Aid and Assistance of Allaah in transmitting the refutations of the scholars against the Hajaawira and may Allaah bless you.

 

Deviation, desires, concealment, ignorance, injustice, transgression etc

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) said:

”And under the guises of those ones who pronounce Takfeer based on falsehood are a people who do not know the creed of Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jamaa’ah as it is obligated, or they know some of it and are ignorant of some of it.  They conceal that which they know of it and do not clarify it for the people. They neither forbid innovations nor censure Ahlul Bidah and punish them; rather they may even censure a statement in the Sunnah and a fundamental of the religion completely, and they would not differentiate between what Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaa’ah say and what Ahlul Bidah Wal Furqah (i.e. the people of innovation and splitting) say, or they would affirm all their differing ways. (i.e. declare all of them correct even though the path of Ahlus Sunnah is the only truth)”

[Majmoo Al-Fataawaa 12/467]

 

 

The Path Is One!

Shaikh Raslaan (may Allaah preserve him) said:

The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) was sent (during) circumstances about which a Muslim cannot say, ”Indeed, the circumstances in which we live in (today) are eviler and more depraved in its depravity than (the state of affairs in which the people lived when the Prophet was sent).”   (This is) because the Prophet (salal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) was sent to a disbelieving people and he guided them through one way.  He directed them towards one path—the worship of one Lord; the only true God; The Perfect Lord and Master upon Whom all the creation depends and He is self-sufficient; The Unique One in His Names, Attributes and Actions. There is neither another true God (worthy of worship) besides Him nor another true Lord (i.e. Creator, Provider and Controller of the affairs of the creation) besides Him.

So the path [of Prophet (Salal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) in calling to Allaah in those circumstances] was one, and it was the (path) the Messengers came with.  The Prophet (salal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) called the Ummatud Dawah (i.e. the nation that had not yet accepted the message of Islaam) to that which is obligatory for today’s Ummatul Ijaabah (i.e. the nation that has already accepted the call of Islaam) to call to.

A lofty benefit and ruling in Soorah Al-Hujuraat—Imaam Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz

Imaam Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) said:

”In this great soorah there are lofty benefits and rulings. The Muslims are greatly in need of understanding and being conscious of it, and they are to take benefit from it. In the first part, there is a warning against putting oneself forward before Allaah and His Messenger, and that which is incumbent upon the people of Eemaan is that they should be followers and not innovators, and that they do not put themselves forward before Allaah and His Messenger.” [Source: Al-fawaa-id Min Ad-Durar Al-Baaziyyah: page391: vol: 4]

Another Important Supplication

يا حَـيُّ يا قَيّـومُ بِـرَحْمَـتِكِ أَسْتَـغـيث ، أَصْلِـحْ لي شَـأْنـي كُلَّـه ، وَلا تَكِلـني إِلى نَفْـسي طَـرْفَةَ عَـين

”O The Ever-Living! O The One Who sustains and protects all that exists! By Your mercy I seek aid and deliverance, rectify all my affairs for me and do not leave me to myself, even for the blink of an eye.” [ صحيح الترغيب والترهيب 1/273]-[Number 654]

Shaikh Muhammad Bin Ibraaheem Aala Shaikh (rahimahullaah) said: It is neither obligated nor permissible to depend on oneself, as reported in the hadeeth (i.e. the supplication a believer makes): [فَلاَ تَكِلْنِى إِلَى نَفْسِى طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ ] ”Do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye.” [Majmoo al-Fataawaa of Shaikh Muhammad Bin Ibraaheem 1/70]

If one of you knew what he has in …..Umar Ibnul Khattaab (radiyallaahu-anhu)

Umar Ibnul Khattaab (radiyallaahu-anhu) said:

”If one of you knew what he has in saying to his (Muslim) brother, [جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا], you would have increased in saying it to one another.” [Musannaf Ibn Abee Shaybah 26519]

The Faqeeh

Indeed, the Salaf did not apply the term Faqeeh, except to the one whose knowledge was accompanied by action; as when Sad bin Ibraaheem was asked, ”who amongst the people of Madeenah was most superior in understanding”, he said, ”the one with more Taqwah”[Al-Haqeeqatus Shar-iyyah Fee Tafseeril Qurýaanil Adheem Was-sunnatin Nabawiyyah’ of Shaaikh Muhammad Baazmool.

From the greatest affairs of reliance and trust in Allaah—Imaam Ibnul Qayyim

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) stated:

”The greatest of reliance and trust in Allaah, is reliance and trust in Allah (whilst) seeking (His) guidance, actualizing Tawheed, following the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and striving against the people of falsehood.  This is the reliance of the Messengers and (that of their true) followers.” [Al-Fawaa-id.
