Hilaal Ibn Habeeb (rahimahullaah ) said: I said to Sa’eed Bin Jubayr,
“What is the sign of the people’s destruction?” He said,
“When their scholars depart (from this world)”.
[Siyar A’laam An-Nubulaa’ 4/326]
Ataa Ibn Deenaar (rahimahullaah ) narrated from Saeed Bin Jubair (rahimahullaah ) who said:
“Indeed reverential fear is that you fear Allaah until it becomes a barrier between you and disobedience. This reverential fear is remembrance of Allaah and obedience to Allaah; so whoever obeys Allaah is one who (truly) remembers Him. And whoever does not obey Allaah is not one who (truly) remembers Him, even if he utters a lot of words of glorification and recites the Qur’aan a lot”.
[Hilyatul Awliyaa’ 4/276]
Ibn Mas’ood (radiyallaahu-anhu) said to his companions:
“You observe fasting, perform prayer and Jihaad more than the companions of Muhammad (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam ), whilst they were better than you. ” They said, “Why is that the case?” He said, “They practiced more abstinence from the worldly life and we’re desirous of the afterlife”.

Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah) stated in Al Qawaa’idul Hisaan Li-Tafseeril Qur’aan Pages: 96-97:
[1] This is found in a number of Aayaat, that when the polytheists shunned the worship of Ar-Rahmaan (Allaah), they were put to test with the worship of images (idols). And when they displayed haughtiness and claimed that the Messengers were (only) humans (i.e. therefore they will not follow the Messengers), they were put to test with submission to everything that made (their) intellect and Religion unstable.
[2] And when Eemaan was clearly shown to them (i.e. the disbelieving nations) at the first instance and they recognized it, but then turned away from it, Allaah (Glorified be He and free is He from all imperfections) averted, afflicted and sealed their hearts. So, they did not believe until they perceived the painful punishment.
[3] And after the straight path was clarified for them, but they deviated from it by choice and approved the path of deviation in opposition to the path of guidance, they were punished- Allaah deviated their hearts and caused them to be confounded in their path (of misguidance).
[4] And when they belittled the signs of Allaah and His Messengers, Allaah belittled them with a humiliating punishment. And when they displayed haughtiness, Allaah humiliated them in this life and the next.
[5] And when they forbade that Allaah’s Name be glorified and mentioned in the Mosques of Allaah and strive for their ruin, then it was not fitting after that they should enter it except in fear.
[6] وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ عَاهَدَ اللَّـهَ لَئِنْ آتَانَا مِن فَضْلِهِ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَلَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ
فَلَمَّا آتَاهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِ بَخِلُوا بِهِ وَتَوَلَّوا وَّهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ
فَأَعْقَبَهُمْ نِفَاقًا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يَلْقَوْنَهُ بِمَا أَخْلَفُوا اللَّـهَ مَا وَعَدُوهُ وَبِمَا كَانُوا يَكْذِبُونَ
”And of them are some who made a covenant with Allaah (saying): ”If He bestowed on us of His Bounty, we will verily give Sadaqah (Zakat and voluntary charity in Allaah’s cause) and will be certainly among those who are righteous. ”Then when He gave them of His Bounty, they became niggardly [refused to pay the Sadaqah (Zakat or voluntary charity)], and turned away, averse. So He punished them by putting hypocrisy into their hearts till the Day whereon they shall meet him, because they broke that (covenant with Allaah) which they had promised to Him and because they used to tell lies”( 9:75-77)
The Aayaat with this meaning are numerous and in them is that the slave was close to being guided and made to follow the straight path, but then he abandoned it after knowing it, or he renounced it after following it, so he is punished and has no right to guidance. This is a recompense for his actions, as Allaah said about the Yahood (i.e. those who knew the truthfulness of Muhammad’s (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) Messengership, but turned away from it willfully)]:
وَلَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ عِندِ اللَّـهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ نَبَذَ فَرِيقٌ مِّنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ كِتَابَ اللَّـهِ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
وَاتَّبَعُوا مَا تَتْلُو الشَّيَاطِينُ عَلَىٰ مُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ
”And when there came to them a Messenger from Allaah (i.e Muhammad) confirming what was with them, a party of those who were given the Scripture threw away the Book of Allaah behind their backs as if they did not know! They followed what the (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulaymaan”. 2:101-102
They abandoned the most sublime, the most beneficial and the most truthful of the Books (i.e. the Qur’aan), so Allaah put them to test with following that which is the most debased, most untruthful, and most harmful. Those who wage war against Allaah and His Messenger abandon spending their wealth in obedience to Allaah, and (instead) spend it in obedience to shaytaan.

Imaam Ibn Rajab (rahimahullaah) said:
When it is the case that the original (place) of Taqwah is in the heart, then none can determine its reality except Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic), as he (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ‘’Indeed Allaah neither looks at your images nor your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and your actions.’’ And in another narration, [he (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam)] said: Indeed, Allaah neither looks at your bodies nor your images’’ [1]
Indeed, there may be many a person with a good looking image, or wealth, or prestige, or leadership in the worldly life, whilst his heart is deprived of Taqwah. And it may be that there is one with nothing (of the worldly life) but his heart is filled with Taqwah, so he becomes nobler in the Sight of Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic); rather this is mostly what happens. [2]

A husband finished worked very early today and had a long day with his wife and kids. After dinner, husband washed the dishes to demonstrate a nice gesture. Wife insisted that the dishes and the rest of the household affairs are her responsibility and not that of the husband, but husband insisted that he only wanted to lighten her burden after she stood for two hours making dinner for him and the children. We ask Allaah (The Most High) to grant us a lot of compassion in our marriages. Aameen. picture: nice gesture
Husband says that he only desires to remind us of some of those little things that can make a big difference In-Shaa-Allaah.
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
A sensible and honest person should ask himself/herself: “What is the basis of Shaikh Wasiyullaah’s criticism against Maktabah Salafiyyah and what is the basis of the praises received by Maktabah Salafiyyah from Shaikh Rabee, Shaikh ‘Ubaid, Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadee, Shaikh Abdullaah al-Bukhaari, Shaikh Hasan al-Banna and others?
Indeed, the basis of Shaikh’s Wasiyullaah’s criticism was due to the uncompromising and courageous stance Maktabah As-Salafiyyah took against Suhaib Hasan, Abdul Haadi, Jamiat ahle Hadeeth and Abu Usaama. This is the basis of the Shaikh’s criticisms. So before examining the evidences, ask yourself the following questions:
So ask yourself the following questions:
*Does Maktabah As- Salafiyyah defend or co-operate with a single Mubtadi?
*Does Maktabah As-Salafiyyah have any links with a single Mubtadi or an organization that defends Mubtadi’ah?
*Do they co-operate with the Jamaa’aat Siyaasiyah or those who co-operate with such Jamaa’aat?
*Do they co-operate with any other group of bidah or anyone associated with them?
*Do they promote the innovated principles of Hasan Al-Banna and Ikhwaan al muslimeen, or associate with anyone who does so?
*Do they uphold the false Manhaj of Muwaazanah or associate with anyone who promotes such false principles?
*Do they defend Sayyid Qutb or co-operate with anyone who defends him?
*Do they endorse the false principles: “We do not disparage but we only correct mistakes’’ and “Let’s not make our differing about someone else a reason for differing amongst ourselves.’’
*Do they make a differentiation between Aqeedah and Manhaj when the scholars pass judgements against the people of bidah, or do they have a link with anyone who calls to these false principles?
*Do they hold the false view that the Salaf differed in Aqeedah, or do they have a link with anyone who holds this false view?
*Do they revile the Sahaabah and defend those who call them Ghuthaa-iyyah, or co-operate with anyone who defends such people?
*Do they utilise innovated principles in order to place the misguided sects, parties and organizations into the arena of ahlus Sunnah, or do they co-operate with anyone who deliberately utilises such false principles?
*Do they utilise the principles of the contemporary Mubtadi’ah, such as Ali Al-Halabi, Abul Hasan al-Maribi, Muhammad Al-Maghraawi, Yahyah al-Hajoori and others similar to them, or do they co-operate with anyone who defends these Mubtadi’ah after being well aware of the unambiguous knowledge based refutations against them?
*Do they praise Ahmad Raza Khan Brelvi, or was it Abdul Haadi who praised Him?
*Do they praise the Mubtadi – Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul Khaaliq- or was it not Abu Usaama who transmitted a praise on his behalf?

So after examining the evidences against the above organizations and individuals, do we find Maktabah As-Salafiyyah upon these clear Manhaj errors? Do we find the students at Maktabah Salafiyyah upon the platforms of the innovators? Indeed, never do we find Maktabah As- Salafiyyah co-operating with the people of bidah and this is a favour of Allaah upon them. Therefore, do we ignore the proofs and follow desires, or do we ask Allaah for Tawfeeq and follow what is correct? A sensible and honest person knows that the Manhaj of Greenlane and Jamiat Ahl Hadeeth is tainted with Hizbiyyah based on their companions and affiliates mentioned above. We ask Allaah for Ikhlaas, Thabaat, Sidq and Husnul Khaatimah…Aameen.
Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadi (hafidha-hullaah) was asked:
A lot of mistakes and differing occurs amongst the Salafi youth as a result of the return or claimed return of an opposer of the Salafi Manhaj to the domain of Salafiyyah; What is your advice to the youth, (as) some of them accept the repentance of (such a person) and others do not.
Answer:
Whatever the case may be, if a person falls into Sin, doubts and Bidah, but then he repents and turn to Allah in obedience, it is not permissible for anyone to close the door of repentance in his face. That is because the door of repentance is open up until the sun rises from the West. If a person repents and returns (to correctness) it is obligatory to praise and encourage him.
However, some people are well known for lying and inconsistency, so he acts as if he is repentant. So regarding this person, we say: Inshaa-Allaah your repentance is accepted, but we are cautious of him until he manifests his correct repentance.
Abul Hasan Al-Ash-ari announced his repentance on the Mimbar. He used to be an extreme Mutazili-a leader among the leaders of the Mutazilah and he persisted in defence of this evil school of thought for forty years and repented after that. He announced his repentance and from the proofs of his repentance is that he began to author astounding refutations against the Mutizalah-refutation against their doubts. So there are signs of the truthful acts of repentance which dispels the doubts (about his repentance); Meaning: He publicized and manifested to the people that he follows the truth.
So there are affairs that show the truthfulness of (the repentant one) and there are factual evidences that show the untruthfulness of (the one who merely claims to have repented). He (the person) is encouraged if there are factual evidences showing his truthfulness, and (on the other hand) it is incumbent upon the Salafiyyoon to be cautious of him if there are factual evidences showing only the mere claims of his (repentance), as it can be that he is being deceitful.
The groups are widespread; It is not possible to ruin the Salafi youth and hinder the Salafi youth from the Salafi Methodology, except with either claims of (ascription) to Salafiyyah or (claims) of withdrawal from mistakes that are in opposition to the Salafi Manhaj. So if they incline towards him (i.e. the one who claims repentance), he may be able to entice the one he can entice towards a corrupt Methodology. This does take place.
Whatever the case may be, encouragement is given to the one from whom repentance is manifested and it is obligatory to be cautious of the one from whom playing games is manifested. The Salafiyyoon should be alert with regards to the likes of these (people).
