False contextualisation of an Ayah in Surah Hud in reference to Shaikh Abu Khadeejah’s critique of Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq

 

Allah [The Exalted] said:

وَلَا تَلْبِسُوا الْحَقَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتَكْتُمُوا الْحَقَّ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

And mix not truth with falsehood, nor conceal the truth while you know (the truth).
[Surah Al-Baqarah. Ayah 42]

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said:

Allah forbade (us) from mixing truth with falsehood and thus leading to the concealment of the truth. Mixing truth with false is by mixing the two until one of them is confused with the other. This is forgery and deceit by way of which what is made apparent is the opposite of what it is in reality. Likewise, when the truth is confounded with falsehood, the culprit manifests falsehood in the image of truth and speaks with a statement that carries two meanings- a correct meaning and a false meaning, so the listener is under the illusion that the speaker intends the correct meaning, whilst he intends the corrupt meaning. (1)

While attempting to twist reality, mix truth with untruth, and conceal the truth, Abu Makkah [may Allah guide him] employed another false analogy -under the cover of knowledge, proof, and sound extrapolation – to portray Shaikh Abu Khadeejah [may Allah preserve him] as an extreme oppressor!

Abu Makkah stated:

Where is Waheed from the manners of the Noble Prophet Nuh alayhis Salaam:

وَلَآ أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزۡدَرِىٓ أَعۡيُنُكُمۡ لَن يُؤۡتِيَہُمُ ٱللَّهُ خَيۡرًا‌ۖ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ‌ۖ

“nor do I say of those upon whom your eyes look down that Allah will never grant them any good. Allah is most knowing of what is within their souls”.

When extracting benefits from the story of Nuh alayhis Salaam Shaykh as-Sadi states that: Vilifying the hearts of the believers is a trait inherited from the enemies of the Messengers.

Ibn Abdil-Barr mentions in his at-Tamheed, “They have an Ijmaa (consensus) that the rulings of this Dunya is based on the apparent and the hidden affairs is left for Allah”.

Waheed Alam should have shame on himself, pity his own heart, and repent to Allah from such a vile statement”. [End of quote]

 

Response:

In the above quote, Abu Makkah vehemently disputed Shaikh Abu Khadeejah’s assertion that Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq [may Allah guide him] is afflicted with a disease in the heart as a result of his false alliances with the Musaafiqah extremists and ahlul bidah. Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “The diseases of the heart are two types: (I) Shubhah (a false affair that is considered or disguised as truth or reality) and Shak (doubt). (II) Shahwah (vain or unbridled desires) and Ghay (i.e. deviation from the straight path)”. (2)

Indeed, we agree with Abu Makkah that only Allah knows the secrets of the heart; however, he attempted to use this sound belief – in this particular discussion – to confound truth with falsehood, and turned a blind eye to the fact that his companion was judged based on his false alliances with Musaafiqah extremists and ahlul bidah – a classic illustration of what many of us have witnessed over the years from some of those who would affirm a mighty affair related to Aqeedah while – from what is witnessed – manifesting ulterior motives due to co-operating with ahlul bidah or defending oppressors, and thus they deliberately apply what they affirm in the wrong context. Is there any other reason Abu Makkah and Muhammad would have supported Musaafiqah extremists and collaborate with ahlul bidah besides the fact that they are either afflicted with the disease of Shubhah or Shahwa?! The only other reason would be insanity, and if that were the case, we would not have responded to Abu Makkah because the pen has been lifted from the insane. However, neither Abu Makkah nor Muhammad is insane.

According to Abu Makkah, Imaam As-Sadi stated that one of the attributes inherited from the opponents of the Messengers is that they vilify the hearts of the believers! We could not determine whether his quote from Imaam As-Sadi was in reference to the aforementioned Ayah, or if he was quoting the Imaam from elsewhere in his Tafseer, or from another book of the Imaam, or if he was citing from someone else’s annotation of the Imaam’s Tafseer, or whether he was quoting from a different print of the Imaam’s Tafseer. That because we could not find this statement of the Imaam in the explanation of this Ayah (i.e. Ayah 31, Surah Hud). Therefore, we transmit here what is found in the copy that is in our possession as follows:

 وَلَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِندِي خَزَائِنُ اللَّهِ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ وَلَا أَقُولُ إِنِّي مَلَكٌ وَلَا أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزْدَرِي أَعْيُنُكُمْ لَن يُؤْتِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا ۖ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ ۖ إِنِّي إِذًا لَّمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

وَلا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِنْدِي خَزَائِنُ اللَّهِ وَلا أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ وَلا أَقُولُ إِنِّي مَلَكٌ أي: غايتي أني رسول الله إليكم، أبشركم، وأنذركم، وأما ما عدا ذلك، فليس بيدي من الأمر شيء، فليست خزائن الله عندي، أدبرها أنا، وأعطي من أشاء، وأحرم من أشاء، ( وَلا أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ ) فأخبركم بسرائركم وبواطنكم ( وَلا أَقُولُ إِنِّي مَلَكٌ ) والمعنى: أني لا أدعي رتبة فوق رتبتي، ولا منزلة سوى المنزلة، التي أنزلني الله بها، ولا أحكم على الناس، بظني.

وَلا أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزْدَرِي أَعْيُنُكُمْ أي: ضعفاء المؤمنين، الذين يحتقرهم الملأ الذين كفروا لَنْ يُؤْتِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ فإن كانوا صادقين في إيمانهم، فلهم الخير الكثير، وإن كانوا غير ذلك، فحسابهم على الله.

إِنِّي إِذًا أي: إن قلت لكم شيئا مما تقدم لَمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ وهذا تأييس منه، عليه الصلاة والسلام لقومه، أن ينبذ فقراء المؤمنين, أو يمقتهم، وتقنيع لقومه، بالطرق المقنعة للمنصف

And I do not say to you that with me are the Treasures of Allah, nor that I know the Ghaib (unseen); “nor do I say I am an angel, and I do not say of those whom your eyes look down upon that Allah will not bestow any good on them. Allah knows what is in their inner selves (as regards belief etc). In that case, I should, indeed be one of the Zalimun (wrong-doers, oppressors, etc.).

[وَلَآ أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزۡدَرِىٓ أَعۡيُنُكُمۡ – nor do I say of those upon whom your eyes look down upon]- Meaning, those believers with a lower status in society about whom the chiefs – who disbelieved – look down upon; [لَن يُؤۡتِيَہُمُ ٱللَّهُ خَيۡرًا‌ۖ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ‌ۖ – that Allah will never grant them any good. Allah is most knowing of what is within their souls]- Meaning, if they are sincere in their faith, they will receive abundant good, but if not, then their reckoning is with Allah. [إِنِّىٓ إِذً۬ا – In that case]- Meaning, if I were to say to you any of the things mentioned (i.e. that with me are Allah’s Treasures, I know the unseen, I am an angel, or that those believers you look down upon will not be bestowed any good), [لَّمِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ – I should, indeed be one of the Zalimun (wrong-doers, oppressors, etc.)]. [end of quote]

Observation a: We could not find the statement transmitted by Abu Makkah from Imaam As-Sadi regarding opponents of the Messengers vilifying the hearts of the believers, but maybe it is found elsewhere, and Allah knows best.

Observation b: This Ayah does not support the point Abu Makkah was desperately attempting to make about Shaikh Abu Khadeejah’s criticism of Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq, whether or not he mentioned any references. Imaam Ibn Al-Qaayim [may Allah have mercy upon him] quoted Az-Zujaaj [may Allah have mercy upon him] as follows: [وَلَآ أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزۡدَرِىٓ أَعۡيُنُكُمۡ لَن يُؤۡتِيَہُمُ ٱللَّهُ خَيۡرًا‌ۖ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ‌ۖ – nor do I say of those upon whom your eyes look down upon that Allah will never grant them any good. Allah is most knowing of what is within their souls]- Meaning, “If you claim that they simply follow me without thinking, then I don’t need to observe what’s going on in their hearts. If I observe someone singling out Allah in worship, I will deal with them based on what I see and delegate knowledge of what is in their souls to Allah”. (3)

Indeed, what is absolutely clear from this Ayah is that the poor believers were scorned and their Imaan was vilified when they performed good deeds and obeyed Prophet Nuh [peace be upon him]. As a result, this circumstance cannot be comparable to that of a person who purposefully opposes the Sunnah by collaborating with ahlul bidah and supporting Musaafiqah extremists, implying that such a person is either afflicted with Shubhah or Shahwah- the two diseases of the heart!

Amazing is Abu Makkah’s situation, for he defends someone who does something terribly wrong, but when that person is rebuked and warned of the consequences, he argues that people are vilifying his heart! Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab [may Allah be pleased with him] and will quote it again as follows: “People were (sometimes) judged by the revealing of a Divine revelation during the lifetime of Allah’s Messenger but now there is no longer any more (new revelation). Now we judge you by the deeds you practice publicly, so we will trust and favour the one who does good deeds in front of us, and we will not call him to account about what he is really doing in secret, because Allah will judge him for that; but we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us an evil deed even if he claims that his intentions were good”. [Saheeh Bukhaari. Number 2641]

Indeed, Abu Makkah [may Allah rectify his affair and distance him from deception] uses the Ayah (Hud 31) out of context in reference to Shaikh Abu Khadeejah’s critique of Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq, whose blameworthy and false affiliations are as visible as the midday sun.

[9] Abu Makkah quotes the questioner as saying, “How do these things occur?”

Written by The Salafi Centre of Manchester on . Posted in Contemporary Issues, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Refutations, Sin, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] used to say in morning and evening supplications:

يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغيثُ أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِيَ كُلَّهُ وَلاَ تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ

O Ever Living! O The Self Subsisting, upon Whom everything depends! By Your Mercy I seek assistance; rectify for me all of my affairs and do not leave me to myself, even for the blink of an eye. [Silsilah As-Saheehah Number 227]

Abu Makkah [may Allah rectify his affair] stated: He (i.e. he means the one who asked Shaikh Abu Khadeejah about the situation of Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq) then goes on to describe how akhuna Muhammad was close to “Mashayikh” but yet deviated, and then asks Waheed – a strange soothsayer-like questioning- how these things occur and if there were things to suggest that he would deviate. [End of quote]

In this section, we will provide brief comments on the words and phrases “deviated,” “a strange soothsayer-like questioning,” and “How these things occur… “

First, there is no question that Muhammad deviated in the matter involving the Musaafiqah extremists and collaborating with Ahlul Bidah. Regarding the alleged strange soothsayer-like questioning that Abu Makkah alludes to, we did respond to this folly in part one of this series as follows: “Abu Makkah attempted to portray himself as an articulate speaker while failing to recognise that he made a judgement without a sound basis. Indeed, his companion was judged based on what is apparent, and no soothsayer-like questioning is asserted in this case, save by those who lack sound understanding. Therefore, pay attention to this beautiful narration: Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab [may Allah be pleased with him] said: “People were (sometimes) judged by the revealing of a Divine revelation during the lifetime of Allah’s Messenger but now there is no longer any more (new revelation). Now we judge you by the deeds you practice publicly, so we will trust and favour the one who does good deeds in front of us, and we will not call him to account about what he is really doing in secret, because Allah will judge him for that; but we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us an evil deed even if he claims that his intentions were good”. (1)

Regarding “how these things occur” (deviation from a few or many upright affairs after accompanying scholars), as Abu Makkah reported from the question that the questioner posed to Shaikh Abu Khadeejah, we are reminded of a statement made by Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] as follows:

When you embark on the path of seeking knowledge- seeking (sound) understanding and acting on it, this is one of the signs that Allah wishes good for you. Therefore, receive glad tidings, have good thoughts about Allah, and be sincere to Allah [The Blessed and Exalted] in your statements, deeds, and knowledge. Neither be deceived – we seek Allaah’s Refuge from self-deception – nor feel safe from Allah’s plan.

فَلَا يَأۡمَنُ مَڪۡرَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلۡقَوۡمُ ٱلۡخَـٰسِرُونَ

None feels secure from the Plan of Allah except the people who are the losers].
[Surah Al-A’raaf. Ayah 99]

A believer always fears that his situation will change. It has been reported from Aa’isha and Anas [may Allaah pleased with them] that the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] often (supplicated):

يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِى عَلَى دِينِكَ – O turner of the hearts (Allaah)! Keep my heart firm upon your religion.

I [i.e. Aa’isha or Anas] asked, “O Allah’s Messenger! We believe in you and what has been revealed to you, so do you fear for us?” He said, “Yes, indeed the hearts are between two fingers among Allah’s fingers and He turns them how He pleases”. [end of hadith]

By Allah! This is (true) understanding that a person does not feel safe about himself because Satan flows through the human being like blood. Therefore, a person should guard his heart, intellect, and deeds with greater ardour than the way he guards his wealth and honour. Whoever has been given the authority to manage his own affairs has a duty to protect his heart above all else.

رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ

Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from You. Truly, You are the Bestower]. [ Surah Aal Imraan’ Aayah 8] (2)

Consider Al-Allaamah Rabee’s remark once more: “Therefore, a person should guard his heart, intellect, and deeds with greater ardour than the way he guards his wealth and honour. Whoever has been given the authority to manage his own affairs has a duty to protect his heart above all else”. [end of quote]

Allah’s Aid is sought! There is no doubt that both Muhammad and Abu Makkah [may Allah guide them] have neither been safeguarded from the Fitna of the Musaafiqah extremists nor the Fitna of collaborating with ahlul bidah. May Allah return them to what is correct and protect us from Fitan Aameen. The Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “A man is upon the religion of his best friend, so let one of you look at whom he takes as a best friend”. [Saheeh Abee Dawud. Number 4833]

We ask Allah

اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِي الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي

وَأَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي

وَأَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَادِي

وَاجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ

وَاجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ

O Allah! Rectify my religion for me, which is the safeguard of my affairs; rectify my worldly [affairs], wherein is my livelihood; and rectify my Afterlife to which is my return; and make life for me [as a means of] increase in every good and make death for me as a rest from every evil. [Saheeh Muslim Number: 2720]

[8] Abu Makkah asks a foolish or stupid rhetorical question to conceal truth and beautify falsehood

Written by The Salafi Centre of Manchester on . Posted in Contemporary Issues, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Refutations, Sin.

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Allah [The Exalted] said:

خُذِ ٱلْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِٱلْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلْجَٰهِلِينَ

Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish.

[Surah Al-A’raaf. Ayah 199]

[وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلْجَٰهِلِينَ – and turn away from the foolish]- Meaning, when the foolish (or ignorant) person behaves foolishly (or ignorantly) towards you, do not respond to him with foolishness (or ignorance). (1)

Abu Makkah posed a foolish rhetorical question after immersing himself in self-denial and self-delusion while seeking to deceive everyone because of his passionate desire to twist and distort reality. He stated, “Since when did Waheed Alam know the state of the hearts?” لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِالله

He made this statement even though it is absolutely clear that his companion was judged based on his companionship with Ahlul bidah and Musaafiqah extremists, which is a symptom of one of the sicknesses of the hearts – Shubuhaat or Shahawaat. His companion did not choose such blameworthy companionship except due to the disease of doubt or desires!

Therefore, this foolish rhetorical question that was presented to promote falsehood and hide truth will not be addressed with another foolish rhetorical question, rather, we’ll respond with what is beneficial from the Book of our Lord. Allah [The Exalted] said:

وَعِنْدَهُ مَفَاتِحُ الْغَيْبِ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا إِلَّا هُوَ

And with Him are the keys of the Ghaib (all that is hidden), none knows them but He.

[Surah Al-An’aam. Ayah 59]

Imaam Ash-Shanqeetee [may Allaah have mercy upon him] presented a number of robust proofs to demonstrate and establish that even the most knowledgeable amongst the creation- Allah’s Messengers and Angels-do not possess knowledge of the unseen. The Imaam [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said:

Aa’isha [may Allah be pleased with her] was falsely accused and the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] did not know whether she was innocent or not until Allah informed him, saying: [ أُولَٰئِكَ مُبَرَّءُونَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ- Such (good people) are innocent of (each and every) bad statement which they say].

Prophet Ibraaheem [peace be upon him] slaughtered a lamb for the angels, while not knowing that they were angels until they informed him that they were angels. Allah said that the angels said to him: [إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِ لُوطٍ – We have been sent against the people of Lout (Lot). (11:70)]

When the angels came to Prophet Lut [peace be upon him], he did not know that they were angels, and due to that, Allaah said: [عَصِيبٌ سِيءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَقَالَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ – He was grieved on their account and felt himself straitened for them (lest the town people should approach them to commit lewdness with them). He said: This is a distressful day]. And because of this Allah said that lut said: [لَوْ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلَىٰ رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ – Would that I had strength (men) to overpower you, or that I could betake myself to some powerful support (to resist you). (11:80)]. He did not know the news the angels brought until they said to him: [إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنْ يَصِلُوا إِلَيْكَ – Verily, we are the Messengers from your Lord!]

Prophet Ya’qub [peace be upon him] lost his eyesight due to grieving for Prophet Yusuf [peace be upon him], while he was in Egypt. He did not know anything about Yusuf until Allah reveal news about him.

Prophet Sulaymaan [peace be upon him], even though Allah gave him authority over the devils and subjugated the wind in his service, did not know about the people Bil Qees until the Hud hud came with news about them. Allah said that the Hud’hud said:

أَحَطْتُ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِ وَجِئْتُكَ مِنْ سَبَإٍ بِنَبَإٍ يَقِينٍ

I have grasped (the knowledge of a thing) which you have not grasped and I have come to you from Saba’ (Sheba) with true news].

Prophet Nuh [peace be upon him] did not know that his son – who was drowned- was not from those members of his household who were to be saved, as Allah said that Nuh said:

رَبِّ إِنَّ ابْنِي مِنْ أَهْلِي وَإِنَّ وَعْدَكَ الْحَقُّ

O my Lord! Verily, my son is of my family! And certainly, Your Promise is true.(11:45)]

He did not know the reality of the affair until Allaah informed him, saying:

قَالَ يَٰنُوحُ إِنَّهُۥ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ إِنَّهُۥ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَٰلِحٍ فَلَا تَسْـَٔلْنِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلْمٌ إِنِّىٓ أَعِظُكَ أَن تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجَٰهِلِينَ

He said: “O Nuh (Noah)! Surely, he is not of your family; verily, his work is unrighteous, so ask not of Me that of which you have no knowledge! I admonish you, lest you be one of the ignorant].

And indeed Allah (The Most High) also stated in Surah Hud about Nuh that he said to his people:

وَلَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِنْدِي خَزَائِنُ اللَّهِ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ

And I do not say to you that with me are the Treasures of Allah, “Nor that I know the Ghaib (unseen).

And when Allah said to the Angels: [هَٰؤُلَاءِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ أَنْبِئُونِي بِأَسْمَاءِ -Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful]; Allaah said that the angels replied: [قَالُوا سُبْحَانَكَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمْتَنَا -They (angels) said: “Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what you have taught us.

Therefore, it is very clear that the most knowledgeable amongst the creation, the Messengers and the Angels, do not know anything of the unseen except what Allah makes known to them. Allah (The Most High) informs His Messengers what He wishes from the knowledge of the Unseen, as Allah stated:

وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُطْلِعَكُمْ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَجْتَبِي مِنْ رُسُلِهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۖ

Nor will Allah disclose to you the secrets of the Ghaib (unseen), but Allah chooses of His Messengers whom He pleases. (2)

Finally, after asking his deceptive rhetorical question, he said: لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِالله

What a disaster! Indeed, there is no doubt that Abu Makkah was consumed by an intense desire to spread falsehood and conceal the truth at all costs, to the point where he mentioned a mighty statement that should have reminded him that the One Who owns all Power and Might was watching him as he pursued falsehood and desperately sought to conceal the truth.

Abu Musa Al-Ash’aree [may Allah be pleased with him] said, “The Messenger of Allah [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said to me, ‘O Abdullaah Bin Qais! Shall I tell you a statement that is one of the treasures of Paradise? It is [لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ – (i.e. There is neither might nor power (to alternate from one state to another nor move from one thing to another) except by Allaah’s Will]. [Bukhaari 6384 & Muslim 2704]

“One of the treasures of paradise”- Meaning, its reward is great and that is paradise; and Paradise is the greatest thing sought after. This shows the virtue of the statement: لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

And why does it carry this reward? That is because it necessitates surrendering all of one’s affairs to Allah, manifesting one’s inability and poverty in the presence of Allah, and that indeed Allah is The One Perfect in Strength and The One Fully Able to do all things (and has power over all things). It is a great statement, easy to utter and repeat on the tongue. (3)

[7] Abu Makkah – A Pretender and Chancer – Reveals Some of His Deceptions Based On Three Ahaadith

Abu Makkah – A Pretender and Chancer – Reveals Some of His Deceptions Based On Three Ahaadith He Quoted to Hide Reality and Spread Illusions and Falsehood

Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with him] reported that Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “Whoever raises arms against us is not one of us. Whoever deceives us is not one of us”. [Saheeh Muslim. Number 101]

Abu Makkah [may Allah guide him] quoted the hadith, “Whoever defends the reputation of his brother, Allah will defend his face from the hellfire on the day of Resurrection”. This was one of the first narrations he shared in an effort to make it seem as though his quest was noble; nevertheless, he was actually being dishonest and attempting to misrepresent the truth in the name of protecting Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq [may Allah guide him].

He also transmitted the statement of Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, “I have not been commanded to pierce through the hearts of the people, nor to split their bellies (insides)” and desperately hoped that this hadith would obscure the reality that Muhammad Abdur Razzaaq was assessed according to what is obvious in light of his cooperation with the Musaafiqah extremists and Ahlul Bidah. And due to repugnant ignorance and false analogy, he claimed that Shaikh Abu Khadeejah [may Allah preserve him] judged his friend (Muhammad Abdur Razaaq) in a manner that was tantamount to seeking after the secrets of the hearts known only to Allah, and claimed that Shaikh Abu Khadeejah is guilty of the crime committed by Khaariji Dhul Khuwaysirah when he violated the Messenger’s [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] honour, despite the fact that his friend was judged based on his corrupt alliances with the Musaafiqah and ahlul bidah.

He also quoted, “The one who creates a false impression of receiving what one has not been given is like one who wears two garments of falsehood”. So, after presenting all of his lies, misconceptions, misrepresentations, and deceptions, he attempted to accuse Shaikh Abu Khadeejah of pretending to display what he does not possess, despite the fact that Abu Makkah demonstrated throughout his document that he is a pathetic pretender with an ugly understanding of some very important Manhaj issues. All this pointless and blameworthy pursuit was to conceal reality, propagate falsehood and delusion, and beautify himself and his friend despite the fact that they have already disparaged themselves due to their blameworthy alliance with the Musaafiqah extremists and ahlul bidah.

[6] Blind Abu Makkah Haunted by Self-incrimination After Making a False Accusation of Hizbiyyah Against Shaikh Abu Khadeejah

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Allah [The Most High] said:
وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ

Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness, and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. [5:2]

Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said:

All of the Masaalih (things that would bring about benefit and repel harm) for the servants of Allah in this life and the Hereafter—among themselves or in respect to their relationship with their Lord—are contained in this verse. That is because every servant of Allah is faced with two situations and obligations: fulfilling Allah’s obligations or fulfilling obligations owed to Allah’s creation. The obligations owed to the creation include (righteous) association, companionship, assisting one another in what Allah loves, and obedience to Allah, which is the objective of one’s pursuit of happiness and success in the afterlife. There can be no happiness in the afterlife except through Bir and Taqwa because they are the foundation of all affairs of the religion. A deed cannot be deemed an act of obedience to Allah and an act that brings one closer to Allaah unless it is founded on Imaan, such that what leads to the performance of the deed is exclusively due to Imaan – neither (un-Islamic) customs nor desires. It should only be founded on Imaan, with the goal of receiving Allah’s reward and pursuing Allah’s pleasure rather than seeking praise or status. (1)

We ask Allah to include us among those who truly co-operate upon righteousness and piety Aameen.

 

Abu Makkah said, “Alhamdulilah akhūna Muhammad is upon khair, he’s neither deviated walillaahil Hamd, nor has he gone astray. He continues to study with ulama and is busy with teaching and Da’wah upon ilm, away from the ignorances of Waheed and his Hizbiyyah which is something that doesn’t please Waheed. I ask Allah to continue to guide Muhammad and be in his aid until death reaches him; Aameen”. [End of quote]

After presenting all of his delusions, false comparisons and accusations, distortions, and concealing of the truth, Abu Makkah praises Allah in the aforementioned statement! Amazing is the affair of one who propagates and defends falsehood, and then says, “Alhamdulilah”. Indeed, what has already been revealed in the thorough refutation of him and Mohammad Abdur Razzaaq ought to make him understand that he should instead utter this “Alhadulil lah” after being shown his repugnant ignorance so that others do not follow the same course and thus he bears the blame for leading them astray. https://salaficentre.com/2023/07/29/abu-makkah-and-muhammad-abdur-razzq-watery-manhaj-and-flaccid-constitutions/

The Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “Whoever starts a good thing (i.e. something other than bidah and sin) and is followed by others, he will have his own reward and a reward equal to that of those who follow him, without it detracting from their reward in any way. Whoever starts a bad thing (i.e. a bidah, sin, or something that opposes Islam) and is followed by others, will bear the burden of his own sin and a burden equal to that of those who follow him, without it detracting from their burden in any way”. [Reported by al-Tirmidhi, no. 2675]

 

“Muhammad has not deviated,” Abu Makkah argues.

Response: We inform Abu Makkah that Muhammad has deviated from what is correct in the Fitna of the Musaafiqah. http://www.manhaj.com/manhaj/articles/uyryh-documents-and-resources-for-countering-and-exposing-the-musafiqah.cfm

 

“He (Muhammad) continues to study with ulama and is busy with teaching and Dawah upon ilm, away from Waheed’s ignorances and his Hizbiyyah, which does not please Waheed,” Abu Makkah argues.

Response: We inform Abu Makkah that many other students are also lecturing, sitting with scholars, and giving Dawah, but they not work in tandem with Ahlul Bidah. It was said to Imaam al-Awzaa’ee [may Allah have mercy upon him], “Indeed a man says, ‘I sit with Ahlus Sunnah and I sit with ahlul bidah’. So, Al-Awzaa’ee said, ‘This man wants to equate truth with falsehood'”. (2)

 

(Muhammad is) “Away from the Ignorances of Waheed” argues Abu Makkah.

Response: We inform him that Muhammad has deviated from sound knowledge in this Musaafiqah fitna, as well as from the Salaf’s understanding and methodology on not cooperating with Ahlul bidah! Is cooperating with ahlul bidah knowledge and wisdom or ignorance?! Indeed, no sensible person abandons upright Salafiyyoon in the name of keeping away from ignorance and then exposes his heart to those whose company leads to the sickness of the hearts?!  Imaam Al-Barbahaaree [may Allah have mercy upon him] reported in Sharhus Sunnah that Imaam Al-Fudayl Ibn Iyaadh [may have mercy upon him] said, “Whoever sits with a person of bidah has not been granted wisdom”. Ibn Abbaas [may Allah be pleased with him] said, “Do not sit with the people of desires (i.e. ahlul bidah), for indeed sitting with them will cause sickness to the hearts”. (3)

 

Abu Makkah Haunted by Self-incrimination After Making a False Accusation of Hizbiyyah Against Shaikh Abu Khadeejah

First, when it comes to Abu Makkah’s allegation about the so-called “Hizbiyyah of Waheed,” he clearly does not grasp what Hizbiyyah is. Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] stated, “Bigoted partisanship for a certain idea that contradicts the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Messenger, and allegiance and hostility based on it, this is Tahazzub [illegal partisanship]. Even if it is not carried out by an organisation, this is still Tahazzub. Regardless of whether it is carried out within an organisation or not, coming up with wrong ideas and rallying support for them constitutes a Hizb”. (4)

Second, one of the distinguishing features of the hizbiyyoon is the collaboration with ahlul bidah, which is what Abu Makkah and his ilk do first and foremost.  Third, he and his allies are unable to name even one false idea or concept that Shaikh Abu Khadeejah (may Allah preserve him) concocted, let alone rally people around such a falsehood. And indeed, it is Abu Makkah and his allies who support a person who has committed false Tabdee (Dr. Muhammad Bin Haadi) and attack those who disprove his dishonesty. Al-Allaamah Zayd Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated:

“There is no (unconditional) allegiance except to Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] because he is infallible and never speaks out of his desires. As for unrestricted allegiance to personalities whether they are correct or mistaken, then indeed this is not permissible for the seeker of knowledge. On the other hand, he should look to such and such Shaikhs as to which of them is upon uprightness and is following the Manhaj of the Salaf. This is the one whom we place our hands on his hands- not out of blameworthy blind following, but rather due to the fact that he is upon the truth. So we agree with him upon truth and follow a singular path in obedience to the statement of Allah [The Mighty and Majestic]:

وَأَنَّ هَٰذَا صِرَاطِي مُسْتَقِيمًا فَاتَّبِعُوهُ ۖ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَن سَبِيلِهِ

And verily, this is my Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His Path] [6:153]

As for the one who selects Shaikhs, leaders, and guides, whilst being in agreement with them- in what is correct and wrong- to the extent that they do not leave their Manhaj whether they are correct or wrong, then these are the people who bring evil upon themselves and upon others. And if they do not repent, then they are most worthy of being blamed. So the affair-and all praise belongs to Allah- is clear and it is not permissible for a person to be confused regarding this affair. Therefore, we are with those who follow the straight path-we follow a singular path that Allah [The Mighty and Majestic] has commanded us to follow and which the Messenger called us to. None is followed in everything except the Messenger of Allah. As for the people, then indeed they can be correct or mistaken. Indeed, we do not follow them and we do not follow their footsteps solely because they are Shaikhs, Callers to Islam, leaders or guides; rather you should be with the people of the Salafi Manhaj-those who follow the correct Manhaj and correct understanding”. (5)

Indeed, the above speech of Al-Allaamah Zayd Bin Haadi [may Allah have mercy on him] should be written in gold, and there is something very specific about Abu Makkah’s condition in what Shaikh Abu Iyaad [may Allah protect him] has mentioned in this link regarding the types of people in Dr. Muhammad Bin Haadi’s Fitna. http://www.manhaj.com/manhaj/assets/docs/types-of-people-mbh-fitnah.pdf

This is what displeases Shaikh Abu Khadeejah and the Salafiyyoon: the deception that has been wilfully chosen and perpetuated by Abu Makkah in the name of knowledge, guidance, and Salafiyyah.

وَٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُسْتَعَانُ

 We ask Allah:

اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِي الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي

وَأَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي

وَأَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَادِي

وَاجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ

وَاجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ

O Allah! Rectify my religion for me, which is the safeguard of my affairs; rectify my worldly [affairs], wherein is my livelihood; and rectify my Afterlife to which is my return; and make life for me [as a means of] increase in every good and make death for me as a rest from every evil. [Saheeh Muslim Number: 2720]

[5.2] A brief examination of a reality that deluded Abu Makkah seeks to present as “delusions”

Written by The Salafi Centre of Manchester on . Posted in Brotherhood, Contemporary Issues, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Refutations, Sin, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

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!

Read and listen:

Muhammad Ibn Hādi’s Allegations and the Response of the Major Scholars in Light of the Manhaj of the Salaf

Warning against a Mistake or Behaviour Does Not Automatically Necessitate Tabdee; & a Mention of Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadi’s & Shaikh Sulaymaan Ar-Ruhaylee’s Affair- From 52mins onwards: https://albaseerah.mixlr.com/recordings/1805145

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].

[5.1] Some of our youth say, “Don’t give Abu Makkah attention because he is an attention seeker”

Written by The Salafi Centre of Manchester on . Posted in Contemporary Issues, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Refutations.

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

May Allah reward our young brothers for their suggestion that the elders should not pay too much attention to Abu Makkah, but we must remind them that young people can, just like the elders, set excellent examples for others or serve as a great source of Fitna and misguidance.

Firm Young Men

Allah [The Exalted] stated about the youth of the cave:

نَّحۡنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ نَبَأَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ‌ۚ إِنَّہُمۡ فِتۡيَةٌ ءَامَنُواْ بِرَبِّهِمۡ وَزِدۡنَـٰهُمۡ هُدً۬ى
وَرَبَطۡنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ إِذۡ قَامُواْ فَقَالُواْ رَبُّنَا رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ لَن نَّدۡعُوَاْ مِن دُونِهِۦۤ إِلَـٰهً۬ا‌ۖ لَّقَدۡ قُلۡنَآ إِذً۬ا شَطَطًا
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوۡمُنَا ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦۤ ءَالِهَةً۬‌ۖ لَّوۡلَا يَأۡتُونَ عَلَيۡهِم بِسُلۡطَـٰنِۭ بَيِّنٍ۬‌ۖ فَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبً۬ا

We narrate unto you (O Muhammad ) their story with truth: Truly! They were young men who believed in their Lord (Allah), and We increased them in guidance. And We made their hearts firm and strong (with the light of Faith in Allah and bestowed upon them patience to bear the separation of their kith and kin and dwellings, etc.) when they stood up and said: “Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, never shall we call upon any ilah (god) other than Him; if we did, we should indeed have uttered an enormity in disbelief. “These our people have taken for worship aliha (gods) other than Him (Allah). Why do they not bring for them a clear authority? And who does more wrong than he who invents a lie against Allah. [Surah Al-Kahf. Ayaat 13-15]

 

Misguided and Foolish Young Men 

Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with him] said, “I heard the truthful and trusted by Allah [i.e., the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)] saying, “The destruction of my Ummah will be through the hands of young men from Quraish”. (1)

Ali Bin Abi Talib [may Allah be pleased with him] said, “No doubt I heard Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] saying, “During the last days there will appear some young foolish people who will say the best words but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for whoever kills them shall have a reward on the Day of Resurrection.” (2)

Ali [may Allah be pleased with him] said: Whenever I narrate to you anything from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) believe it to be absolutely true as falling from the sky is dearer to me than that of attributing anything to him (the Holy Prophet) which he never said. When I talk to you of anything which is between me and you (there might creep some error in it) for battle is an outwitting. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: There would arise at the end of the age a people who would be young in age and immature in thought, but they would talk (in such a manner) as if their words are the best among the creatures. They would recite the Qur’an, but it would not go beyond their throats, and they would pass through the religion as an arrow goes through the prey. So when you meet them, kill them, for in their killing you would get a reward with Allah on the Day of Judgement. (3)

First, despite the fact that Abu Makkah is not a Khaariji — and may Allah protect us and him from this calamity, however, he has clearly demonstrated his foolish youthful, and immature thought by hastening to attack those who refute Dr. Muhammad Bin Haadi, a man who is guilty of false Tabdee. Therefore, youth, like elders, can either be firm and moderate within the confines of the Sunnah, or they can be negligent or extreme. We discovered that some of the most outspoken, the most extreme, vile, and disrespectful participants in the Fitna of the Hajaawirah were young people, such as Abu Fajr (footnote a). Similarly, some of the loudest, most extreme, vile, and disrespectful participants in the Fitna of the Musaafiqah (footnote b) are young people, such as Abu Makkah and his ilk.

Therefore, even though some of our young brothers say that Abu Makkah craves attention and should not be given what he is desperately looking for, however, we hope they understand that this loud and disrespectful mouth that seeks to revile any elder who rebuts Dr. Muhammad Bin Haadi’s Ghuluww must not be allowed to think that he can say whatever he desires without any consequences. Without a doubt, our Salaf reprimanded youth when they were being too overbearing. We shall not respond to his insults, but we shall rebut his absurd and misleading analogies. May Allah guide him and protect us from his extremism Aameen.

[6.1] Unveiling -For Blind Abu Makkah- Reality Behind Proclamation, “Such and Such Has Not Been Given Tawfeeq In The Pursuit of Knowledge”

Written by The Salafi Centre of Manchester on . Posted in Brotherhood, Contemporary Issues, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Pearls of Wisdom, Purification of The Soul, Refutations, Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said:

The loftiest ambition in seeking knowledge is to acquire knowledge of the Qur’an and the Sunnah- to be granted understanding by Allah (i.e. to be granted Tawfeeq to acquire sound knowledge) and through the Sunnah of the Messenger, and to familiarise oneself with the boundaries of the revelation (i.e. not going into excess or being lax in its rulings). And the most pointless ambition of knowledge seekers is to confine their ambitions to following strange issues and what has neither occurred nor been revealed; or familiarising oneself with the variations in viewpoint and exploring the statements of the scholars, without aiming to learn which of those statements is correct. Little is there to benefit from the knowledge of these people. (1)

To begin, take great attention to Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim’s comment regarding one of the signs of a lack of lofty ambition in the path of knowledge, which is “familiarising oneself with the variations in viewpoint and exploring the statements of the scholars, without aiming to learn which of those statements is correct. Little is there to benefit from the knowledge of these people”.

Without a doubt, Abu Makkah and his allies have shown a lack of lofty ambition in the Fitna of Dr Muhammad Bin Haadi because they have no evidence to support their defence of him, just as Dr Muhammad lacks evidence to support his false Tabdee. However, they have wilfully chosen extremism and stubbornness in this matter over sound evidence and humility, clinging to flimsy claims and desperately searching for lame excuses to persist upon error. Read: http://www.manhaj.com/manhaj/articles/uyryh-documents-and-resources-for-countering-and-exposing-the-musafiqah.cfm

Second, Abu Makkah should focus on one of those very matters that a seeker of knowledge must always keep in mind, rather than futilely attempting to demonstrate if Shaikh Abu Khadeejah has been given Tawfeeq in the path of knowledge. Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saalih Al-Uthaymeen [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said: If one asks, “How can sincerity in the pursuit of knowledge be (attained)?” We say: Sincerity in seeking knowledge can be attained by making an intention for the following:

To fulfil Allah’s command because Allah [The Exalted] commanded it (i.e. to seek knowledge). Allah said: [فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنبِكَ- So know (O Muhammad) that La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), and ask forgiveness for your sin. (Surah Muhammad Ayah19)] Therefore, Allah [Glorified and Exalted be He] strongly urged (a person) to acquire knowledge, because strongly encouraging something entails having love for it, being pleased with it, and commanding it.

To preserve Allah’s Shariah because preserving Allah’s Shariah can be accomplished through learning, memorisation, and writing.

To protect and defend the Shariah because without scholars, no one would have protected or defended Shariah. As a result, we see people of knowledge such as Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah and others repelling ahlul bidah and exposing the fallacy of their innovations (in religious practice). We can see that they accomplished a lot of good.

To follow Muhammad’s Shariah because you cannot follow his Shariah until you learn about it. (2)

Third, Abu Makkah and his associates must remember that even if one has a lot of knowledge, one must also be trustworthy. Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen [may Allah have mercy upon him], “We add trustworthiness as an additional characteristic alongside competence since competence is a strength that must be accompanied by trustworthiness. Allah said:

إِنَّ خَيۡرَ مَنِ ٱسۡتَـٔۡجَرۡتَ ٱلۡقَوِىُّ ٱلۡأَمِينُ

Indeed, the best one you can hire is the strong and the trustworthy.

[Surah Al-Qasas. Ayah 26]

A scholar may be proficient and vast in knowledge, capable of deriving and explaining subsidiary issues from fundamental principles, as well as categorising, distinguishing, and placing various subject matters in their proper place, but he is not trustworthy and may misguide you from where you do not know. (3)

Indeed, Abu Makkah and his followers have no choice but to humble themselves and submit to the truth. However, there are dangers for those who are taken aback by their ideas or have ulterior objectives. We should all be wary of these perilous things that prevent humankind and Jinn from yielding to the truth. Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim [may Allaah have mercy on him] gives the following reasons:

Ignorance: This reason is mostly what overwhelms the majority of people, for indeed the one who is ignorant of something will show enmity to it and its people. If in addition to this reason, (the person) hates the one who commands him to (follow) the truth, and harbours enmity and envy, then this (i.e. reason behind being prevented from accepting the truth) becomes more intense. If in addition to this, it (i.e. the truth) opposes the ones close to his heart, his customs, the one who nurtured him, the ways of his forefathers and the ones he loves and exalts, then this (i.e. the reason behind being prevented from accepting the truth) becomes even more intense. If in addition to this, he carries a wrong perception that the truth he is being called to (is an obstacle to) his status, honour, desires and goals, the (reason behind being prevented) from accepting the truth becomes very intense. If in addition to this, he fears his companions, his family and his people (i.e. due to the harm he anticipates) against himself, his wealth and his status – just as what happened to Heraclius, the king of the Christians in Shaam during the era of Allaah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him], then the reason (behind being prevented from accepting the truth) increases even greater because indeed Heraclius knew the truth and he had the desire to accept Islam, but his people did not obey him, so he feared for himself and thus chose disbelief over Islaam after the guidance was made clear to him.

Envy: It is one of the greatest causes (behind being prevented from accepting the truth) because indeed it is an ingrained disease in the soul. The envier sees that the one he envies has been given virtue over him or has been given the likes of that which he has not been given; therefore this envy prevents him from complying with (the truth). Iblees was not prevented from prostrating to Adam [i.e. out of respect, when Allaah commanded him and the angels to do so], except out of envy, because when he saw that Aadam [peace be upon him] was given virtue and raised above him, he chose disbelief over Eemaan, even though he used to be in the company of the angels.

This disease is what prevented the Jews from believing in Eesaa the son of Maryam [peace be upon both him and his mother], even though they knew -without a doubt – that he was a Messenger of Allaah, who came with clear proofs and guidance, however, envy led them to choose disbelief over Eemaan and complied with it, even though they were a nation amongst whom were Rabbis, scholars, Zuhhaad [i.e. those who abstained from those lawful but unnecessary pleasures of the worldly life], judges, kings and rulers.

Fear of losing one’s status and prestige: Conversation between Abu Jahl and His Nephew Al-Musawwar Bin Makhzamah

Al-Musawwar Bin Makhzamah: ‘’O my uncle! Did you use to accuse Muhammad of lying before he started saying what he says now [i.e. his call to Tawheed]? Abu Jahl: “By Allaah, indeed Muhammad was a trustworthy young man amongst us and we have never experienced lying from him. Al-Musawwar Bin Makhzamah: “O my uncle! So why is it that you do not follow him?” Abu Jahl: “O son of my sister! We competed with Banu Haashim in nobility [i.e. which clan is more noble], so they used to feed [the pilgrims] and we used to feed the [pilgrims]; they used to provide water for [the pilgrims] and we used to provide water for [the pilgrims]; they used to give protection [to the destitute] and we used to give protection [to the destitute] until we were equal [i.e. in competing one another for nobility]. Then they said, “There is a Prophet from us”, so when are we going to get something similar to this!!

Conversation between Abu Jahl and Akhnas Bin Shuraiq

Akhnas Bin Shuraiq said to Abu Jahl on the day of Badr [i.e. the battle of Badr]: “O Abul Hakam! Inform me about Muhammad, as to whether he is a truthful person or a liar, for indeed there is no one here from Quraish who will hear our speech! Abu Jahl replied to Akhnas: “Woe to you! By Allaah, indeed Muhammad is a truthful person and Muhammad has never lied, but if Banu Qusay takes the leadership, the position of gatekeepers of the Kabah, providers of water for the pilgrims and Prophethood [i.e. the Prophet Muhammad is from their clan], then what will the rest of Quraish have?! (4)

Al-Allaamah Abdur Rahmaan Al-Mu’allimee [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said: To oppose desires – by way of action – for the sake of the truth is a manifest affair due to the obligation and difficulty it involves, and this can be viewed from different angles as follows: a person sees that by acknowledging the truth, it would necessitate that he has acknowledged that he was upon falsehood because a person is nurtured upon a religion, creed, school of thought or views, which he acquired from his nurturer and teacher, considers it to be the truth and followed it for a long time. Then when it becomes clear to him that (the religion, creed, view, or school of thought) is false, it becomes difficult for him to acknowledge, just like when his forefathers, ancestors or the one he follows are upon a (particular) way and its falsity is clarified for him because he sees that their deficiencies necessitate his own deficiencies, and an acknowledgement of their misguidance or errors necessitates his own.

It may be that clinging to falsehood gave him prestige, fame and a livelihood, so it becomes difficult for him to acknowledge that (what he is upon is) falsehood and thus all those benefits (i.e. the fame, prestige, livelihood etc) would disappear.

It may be that a person is upon ignorance or falsehood, then another person comes along and clarifies the proofs for him, so he sees that by acknowledging such proofs, it would necessitate that he is lacking (in understanding) and that it was that person who guided him. And due to this we find that it is not difficult for some of those attributed to knowledge to acknowledge their mistakes when it becomes manifest to them in their research and studies, but it becomes difficult for them if it was others who clarified such mistakes.

When another person clarifies the truth for him, he sees that acknowledging such truth would necessitate an acknowledgement of the clarifier’s virtue, knowledge and correctness due to that clarification, and thus that becomes great in the eyes of the people and many people follow him [i.e. the person who clarified the truth]. So you will find some of those attributed to knowledge being eager to prove the mistakes of other scholars even if that is done by way of falsehood due to envy and seeking to diminish their status amongst the people.

To oppose desires for the sake of the truth -in affairs of knowledge and creed- can indeed be difficult to accomplish, therefore it requires (sincere) research and contemplation. And in this regard, one needs to ask the scholars and benefit from them, adhering to the fear of Allah, and seeking the Tawfeeq of Allah and guidance. (5)

Al-Allaamah Abdur Rahmaan Bin Yahyah Al-Mu’allimee [may Allaah have mercy upon him] also stated: Ponder on the fact that truth is noble and falsehood is lowly. Ponder on the Greatness of Allaah [The Mighty and Majestic]- the fact that Allaah is the Lord of the entire universe, Allaah loves truth and hates falsehood, and that the one who follows truth is deserving of the Pleasure of the Lord of the universe. Allaah [Glorified be He] will be his protector in the worldly life and the Afterlife by choosing for him everything that is good, better, more beneficial, more perfect, more noble and loftier until Allaah removes his soul whilst being pleased with him. Then Allaah raises him, brings him close and makes him dwell in paradise with honour- in permanent bliss and eternal nobility which no imagination can fully conceive its greatness. He should ponder on the fact that the one who clings to falsehood is deserving of the displeasure, anger and punishment of the Lord of the universe, and if he receives anything of worldly bliss, then indeed that is only a means of humiliating him in order that he is increased in being distanced from Allaah so that the painful torment of the afterlife is multiplied for him, which no imagination can fully conceive its severity. He should ponder on the bliss of the worldly life [i.e. temporary] as compared to the pleasure of the Lord of the universe and the bliss in the afterlife [i.e. eternal], compare the misery of the worldly life to the displeasure of the Lord of the universe and the punishment in the afterlife [i.e. the severest punishment in this life is nowhere equal to punishment in the afterlife]. He should ponder on the statement of Allaah [The Mighty and Majestic]:

وَقَالُواْ لَوۡلَا نُزِّلَ هَـٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ۬ مِّنَ ٱلۡقَرۡيَتَيۡنِ عَظِيمٍ
أَهُمۡ يَقۡسِمُونَ رَحۡمَتَ رَبِّكَ‌ۚ نَحۡنُ قَسَمۡنَا بَيۡنَہُم مَّعِيشَتَہُمۡ فِى ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا‌ۚ وَرَفَعۡنَا بَعۡضَہُمۡ فَوۡقَ بَعۡضٍ۬ دَرَجَـٰتٍ۬ لِّيَتَّخِذَ بَعۡضُہُم بَعۡضً۬ا سُخۡرِيًّ۬ا‌ۗ وَرَحۡمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٌ۬ مِّمَّا يَجۡمَعُونَ
وَلَوۡلَآ أَن يَكُونَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةً۬ وَٲحِدَةً۬ لَّجَعَلۡنَا لِمَن يَكۡفُرُ بِٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ لِبُيُوتِہِمۡ سُقُفً۬ا مِّن فِضَّةٍ۬ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيۡہَا يَظۡهَرُونَ
وَلِبُيُوتِہِمۡ أَبۡوَٲبً۬ا وَسُرُرًا عَلَيۡہَا يَتَّكِـُٔونَ
وَزُخۡرُفً۬ا‌ۚ وَإِن ڪُلُّ ذَٲلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَـٰعُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا‌ۚ وَٱلۡأَخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ

And they say: “Why is not this Qur’an sent down to some great man of the two towns (Makkah and Ta’if)?” Is it they who would portion out the Mercy of your Lord? It is We Who portion out between them their livelihood in this world, and We raised some of them above others in ranks, so that some may employ others in their work. But the Mercy (Paradise) of your Lord (O Muhammad) is better than the (wealth of this world) which they amass. And were it not that all mankind would have become of one community (all disbelievers, desiring worldly life only), We would have provided for those who disbelieve in the Most Beneficent (Allah), silver roofs for their houses, and elevators (and stair-ways, etc. of silver) whereby they ascend, and for their houses, doors (of silver), and thrones (of silver) on which they could recline, and adornments of gold. Yet all this (i.e. the roofs, doors, stairs, elevators, thrones etc. of their houses) would have been nothing but an enjoyment of this world. And the Hereafter with your Lord is only for the Muttaqun”. [Surah Az-Zuhkruf. Verses 31-35] (6)

We ask Allah:
اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِي الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي
وَأَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي
وَأَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَادِي
وَاجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ
وَاجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ

O Allah! Rectify my religion for me, which is the safeguard of my affairs; rectify my worldly [affairs], wherein is my livelihood; and rectify my Afterlife to which is my return, and make life for me [as a means of] increase in every good and make death for me as a rest from every evil. [Saheeh Muslim Number: 2720]

[5] Uncovering Reality – For Blind Abu Makkah – Behind Sitting With Mashaayikh While Having Other Blameworthy Alliances!

Written by The Salafi Centre of Manchester on . Posted in Brotherhood, Contemporary Issues, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Refutations, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “A man is upon the religion of his best friend, so let one of you look at whom he befriends.” [At-Tirmidhī 2378]

Abu Makkah [may Allah guide] desperately tried to conceal the fact that Muhammad Abdur-Razzaaq [may Allah rectify his affair] sits with Mashaayikh like every other student, but his companionship in the UK is blameworthy, and no one can play hide and seek with this affair because we must all refer back to the sound principles that distinguish reality from delusion and ambiguity.

Al-Allaamah Ubaid Bin Abdillah Al-Jaabiri [may Allah have mercy upon him] said:

If a person’s affair is hidden from you, the one whose books and cassettes are well-known and whose popularity is widespread, then ask those who are well acquainted with him and his situation. Neither the Sunnah nor its adherents are hidden, and a man’s Tazkiyah is his own deeds – his Tazkiyah is his own deeds that he is an adherent to the Sunnah. It is the witness, and people refer to him with it both during his life and after his death.

There is none who hides behind the Sunnah, the people beguiled by him, gathered around him to learn, adhered to him, became dependent on him, and accepted everything he said, except that Allah will reveal his affair, uncover and expose his concealed state of affairs to specific individuals and the general public, regarding what was hidden and apparent of his deception, his mixing truth with falsehood, his plots and deceitful practices. Allah enables men of virtue, intelligence, wisdom, strength, and great natural ability–possessors of knowledge, skill, and good comprehension of the religion–through whom He reveals the affair of that trickster, dubious, and deceitful person. It is incumbent upon you to be careful of that person when his state is revealed–the one whose fame is widespread–as long as he was warned against by those of understanding and Imaan who follow the Sunnah because they will expose his affair with evidence.

Al-Allaamah Ubaid [may Allah have mercy upon him] also stated: It is not permitted for a person who is aware of a mistake and it is clear to him to blindly follow a scholar who is unaware of an affair. And, as you already know, scholars are not infallible in their Ijtihaadaat, therefore, it is not permissible to adopt them (i.e. the errors of the scholars) as a methodology.

Al-Allaamah Ubaid [may Allah have mercy upon him] also stated: “Some argue, ‘Such and such praised him–Al Albaanee, or Ibn Baaz, or Ibn Al-Uthaymeen praised this book’. However, these scholars are excused, rather, the trickster was hidden from the scholar. So, what is left? We establish the proof against this deceiver, trickster, intrigant, and plotter from his books. We establish the manifest clarifications against him from his books and say to the one who argues with us, “Take it, this is his speech.” Therefore, it is incumbent upon you to be fair and free of that passionate and fanatical attachment, as well as the desires that blind a person. (1)

Listen to Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi on this link about those who hide behind Mashaayikh and how their affair is unveiled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWPR3Eacn4k

Therefore, we remind Abu Makkah that even though he desperately seeks to hide the reality and slanders one of our elder Salafi teachers, however, the truth must be uttered regardless of the harm received from him. Imam Muhammad Ibn Saalih Al-Uthaymeen [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “If there is a person who reviles the truth and rejoices because of his enmity against the one who acts upon the truth, then one should not be humble in the presence of this person; rather, one should humble himself to the truth and debates this man, even if he belittles or speaks against you, because the truth must be aided”.
