In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
Allah [The Exalted] said:
يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَكُونُواْ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ
O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah, and be with those who are true (in words and deeds). [9:119]
Abu Makkah said: “Waheed – in his delusion & pomposity – talks about how Muhammad would bring him “doubts” that he had EACH TIME they’d go for Umrah! The clear lies and exaggeration in this point is so clear that replying to it would be a waste of time”. [End of quote]
To begin with, we ask Allah to include us among those who fear Him both in private and in public. Indeed, Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq [may Allah guide him] was one who had doubts, and Abu Makkah’s aimless pursuit in the aforementioned statement is an attempt to hide the fact that Muhammad’s situation is worse at present. Allah [The Exalted] said:
وَإِن تَلۡوُ ۥۤاْ أَوۡ تُعۡرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرً۬ا
And if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do.
Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: Allah [Glorified be He and free from all imperfections] mentions two factors that will surely lead to concealment, then He warns against them and issues a threat: the first is distortion, and the second is to turn away from giving truthful witness. That is because when proof that supports the truth manifests and the one who wants to repel it is unable to do so, he refrains from mentioning it and therefore becomes a silent devil, and sometimes he distorts it. (1)
Indeed, we don’t need to ask Shaikh Abu Khadeejah [may Allah preserve him] how many doubts Muhammad [may Allah guide him] had because he has already broadcasted one on Twitter for everyone to see as follows:
This is a conversation on Twitter between Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq [may Allah open his eyes to reality] and someone else, whilst he encouraged people to attend the gathering of the Musaafiqah in the company of Dr Sulaymaan Ar-Ruhayli. Muhammad stated, “Utter falsehood. Did the Sahaabah say ‘O I’m not going to attend the circle of the Messenger bcos there’s a Munaafiq there?'” [End of quote]
Amazing is the similarity between Abu Makkah and Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq! The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said: “The souls are troops collected together. They come close upon what they recognize, and they differ upon what they reject”. [Al-Bukhaari 3109]
It is apparent that one of the characteristics they share is their fondness for ludicrous comparison. Indeed, the Messenger and the Sahaabah were upon clarity due to that which Allah revealed to him about the Munaafiqoon. As for Dr Sulaymaan and the ones who invited him, all of them were upon something blameworthy because they defend Dr Muhammad Bin Haadi, so how can a sensible person attend such a gathering to increase the numbers of Musaafiqah – those defending a person (Dr Muhammad Bin Haadi) who passed an oppressive judgement of Tabdee without proof!

Furthermore, it has become abundantly clear that Muhammad’s situation has deteriorated [may Allah guide him], and one of the risky ventures he has embarked on is collaboration with Ahlul bidah. Shaikh Abu Iyaad [may Allah preserve him] quoted Shaikh Al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allah have mercy upon him] as follows, “And Imaam is known about a man, just as all the states of his heart are known by way of his (outward) allegiances, enmities, his rejoicing, anger, hunger, thirst, and other such affairs. For these matters have certain outward bonding necessities (Lawaazim Dhaahirah) and the outward matters necessitate inward matters. And this is a matter known, the people know this concerning the one that they have experienced and tested (jarraboohu wamtahinoohu)…” NB: Must refer to the link so that the full context of this statement is understood. https://www.salafipublications.com/sps/downloads/pdf/BDH050015.pdf
Then go on to discover Muhammad’s real circumstances based on tangible evidence and witnesses. https://salaficentre.com/2023/07/29/abu-makkah-and-muhammad-abdur-razzq-watery-manhaj-and-flaccid-constitutions/
Indeed, our Scholars have admonished us all against becoming overconfident and deceived. Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] stated: “It is enough to recall that the Salaf fled from Fitan – not mixing, sitting, or discussing with the people of Fitan (i.e. ahlul bidah). Even among them, such as Ayyoub As-Sakhtiyaanee and Ibn Seereen, did not listen to the speech of those (people of bidah). And when Ibn Seereen was asked, “Why do you not speak; why do you not listen to them?” He said, “Indeed, my heart is not in my hands! I don’t have control over my heart, and I’m afraid I’ll be misguided.” So these Imams feared fitna and deviation for themselves, but you the Miskeen have the courage to confront ahlul bidah….!!!
Many people say, “We sit with ahlul ahwaa [i.e. the people of desires (ahlul bidah)] and we take; we distinguish between truth and falsehood, we take what is true and abandon falsehood,” while he (i.e. the speaker) is a Miskeen who cannot distinguish between truth and falsehood and is not in control of his heart. How many young people have been put to the test by this devilish viewpoint and thus degraded, reverting back on his heels (into misguidance), and depraved?! Allah’s aid is sought! In the domain of the people of Fitan, he becomes prey (or a victim)! A student of knowledge is therefore required to (refrain from thinking of) himself as immune to ahlul bidah because he cannot be as knowledgeable as Ayyoub and Ibn Seereen or reach their level (in knowledge and piety) and those who came after them. (2)
This is the reality that dishonest Abu Makkah is attempting to obfuscate! Both he and Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq collaborate with Ahlul Bidah, however, he claims without any shame, “Waheed – in his delusion & pomposity – talks about how Muhammad would bring him “doubts” that he had EACH TIME they’d go for Umrah! The clear lies and exaggeration in this point is so clear that replying to it would be a waste of time”. [End of quote]
He desperately tries to depict this reality about himself and Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq as an illusion. Is it a fallacy or an illusion to say that both he and Muhammad harbour doubts?! Then why are they collaborating with AhlulBidah? Why did they succumb to the Fitna of the Musaafiqah in the first place? What else, if not their doubts, must have influenced them to commit what has been refuted in this link?! https://salaficentre.com/2023/07/29/abu-makkah-and-muhammad-abdur-razzq-watery-manhaj-and-flaccid-constitutions/
Abu Makkah is obstinate in his pointless attempt to repel reality. Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: “The fact that a statement is a lie or falsehood about something can sometimes be determined by looking at the statement itself, its contradictions, its complication, and the appearance of those clear signs that it is a lie. Lies may manifest based on what it is in reality, what is being disguised, and what is apparent. It can occasionally be determined based on the circumstances surrounding the utterer of the lie, for it is true that those who are notorious for lying, wickedness, and deception do not manifest anything else except assertions that are consistent with their behaviour. He does not utter a statement or perform an action similar to that of a pious and truthful person – the one innocent of all evil, deception, lie, and wicked behaviour; rather, the heart, intention, statements, and acts of the truthful one share same image, as do the liar’s heart, statements, deeds, and intents”. (3)
The Imam [may Allah have mercy upon him] also said: Beware of kadhib, as it corrupts one’s ability to teach people as well as one ability to illustrate information based on how it should actually be. The liar presents what is present as something non-existent and what is non-existent as something present; misrepresents the truth as being something false and falsehood as being something true; misrepresents the good and the evil, so he corrupts his conception and knowledge, which subsequently results in his punishment. Then he portrays what is not true to the one who has been duped by him – the one who is drawn to him – and therefore corrupts his conception and knowledge.
The soul of the liar turns away from existing reality, preferring the non-existent, and falsehood. And when his conception and knowledge is corrupted, which is the basis of every wilfully chosen deed, his deeds become corrupt and marked by lies, so those deeds would emanate from him just as lies emanate from the tongue- neither benefits from his tongue nor his deeds (i.e. in relation to the specific affair). Because of this, lying serves as the foundation of immorality, as the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “Indeed, lies lead to immorality (or wickedness), and indeed, immorality (or wickedness) leads to the fire.” [Bukhaari 2606/2607]
Lies first emerge from the heart and then on the tongue, corrupting it; then they transfer to the limbs and corrupt their deeds, just as they corrupt statements of the tongue. As a result, lying prevails over his utterances, deeds, and state of affairs; corruption gets deeply ingrained in him, and its disease leads to destruction if Allah does not grant him recovery with the medication of truthfulness, which uproots the source (or basis) of the lies. This is why the basis of all deeds of the heart is truthfulness, and the basis of their opposites is lies, such as boasting, self-amazement, pride, being glad (with ungratefulness to Allah’s Favours), conceitedness, boastfulness, insolence, weakness, laziness, cowardice, disgrace, and others.
Every righteous deed, whether done privately or publicly, is founded on truthfulness. And the source of every corrupt deed, whether private or public, is lies. Allah punishes the liar by preventing him (i.e. due to his own chosen evil) from those things that will bring him well-being and benefit, while He rewards the truthful one by granting him the ability to attain the beneficial things of the worldly life and Afterlife. There is nothing comparable to truthfulness in terms of how it brings about the affairs of well-being in this life and the next, and there is nothing comparable to lying in terms of how it corrupts and harms one’s worldly and Afterlife affairs.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ
O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah, and be with those who are true (in words and deeds) [9:119]
هَٰذَا يَوْمُ يَنْفَعُ الصَّادِقِينَ صِدْقُهُمْ ۚ
This is a Day on which the truthful will profit from their truth. [5:119]
فَإِذَا عَزَمَ الْأَمْرُ فَلَوْ صَدَقُوا اللَّهَ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُمْ
And when the matter (preparation for Jihad) is resolved on, then if they had been true to Allah, it would have been better for them. [47:21] (4) [End of quote]
So, let us all ask Allah:
اللهم كما حَسَّنْت خَلْقِي فَحَسِّنْ خُلُقِي
O Allah! Just as You made my external form beautiful, make my character beautiful as well].
