Guidance for the People
So learn, O brothers, the correct methods of the Sharia'. The aim is guidance for the people and the
aim is conveying the truth to the hearts of the people.
O brother, it is upon you to use all that you can from
the ways of the Sharia' in the path of Dawa' to Allaah. And we do not believe that the ends justify
the means since this is from the characteristics of the people of Bida'
who fell into - due to these characteristics - lying, twisting, circling around
the subject and trickery. Just as the
Imam 'Alee bin Harb al-Moosalee said: 'Every person who follows his desire lies
and he doesn't care that he lies.'
We don't have any of these characteristics; we are the
people of honesty and the people of truth.
We present the truth in a form and fashion which the people accept and it
affects their hearts, may Allaah bless you.
Then we also went to 'Kasla' in Sudan and MashAllaah
the Dawa' was going smoothly and well and all praise belongs to Allaah,
we spoke there and praise belongs to Allaah and Allaah made our speech
beneficial.
Then we went to 'al-Ghazarif' it is a small city there
and we rotated between all the masajd in that place. The people said: there does not remain in
this city except one masjid, which is with the Tijaaneeyah, which
we cannot get to!
I said: 'why not?'
They said: 'They're prejudiced, severely prejudiced.'
I said: 'Let's go to them and request permission, if
they allow us to talk, we will convey the message and if they prevent us then
we have an excuse in front of Allaah, it is not necessary that we face them
with force and strength -BarakAllaahu Feekum..
So we went there and the imam led us in prayer. After we finished it, I gave him Salaams and
said to him, will you allow me to deliver a speech to these brothers?
He said: 'go ahead.'
So I spoke, called to Allaah, to Tawheed, to Sunnah
and to other matters of knowledge. I
criticized some of the mistakes which are present, points of misguidance until
I reached to the hadeeth of 'Aeysha –radhiAllaahu anha- which is mentioned by Bukhari and Muslim:
‘There are three things, whoever speaks with one of
them then he has told a major lie against Allaah: whoever says: that Muhammad
saw his Lord; then he has told a major lie against Allaah, whoever says: that
Muhammad knows what will happen tomorrow; then he has told a major lie against
Allaah’: and I mentioned the proofs for that - 'and he who claims that Muhammad
did not convey what was revealed to him; then he has told a major lie against
Allaah.’[1]
Then the Imam stood up - he was annoyed and he said to
me: ‘I swear by Allaah that indeed Muhammad saw his Lord with his own eyes!’
I said to him: JazakAllaahu khair. As for ‘Aeysha - who is the most
knowledgeable of the people about the Messenger - sallAllaahu
alayhi wa sallam -,
she said: ‘whoever says: that Muhammad saw his Lord; then he has told a major
lie against Allaah.’ If the Messenger of Allaah had seen his Lord he would have
told her, but he did not tell her this.
Then he began to make a din and press me, I said to
him: ‘O my brother wait until I finish my talk, then after that ask about
whatever you want. That which I know I
can answer, that which I do not know, I'll say to you Allaah knows best.’ I left him and continued speaking, I don't
know if he remained or left. I don’t
know, I didn't turn around towards him. Then I heard a man saying: ‘I swear that what this man is speaking the
truth!’
Then I heard the same sentence again from somebody
else and he added: 'the man is saying: 'Allaah said, the Messenger of Allaah
said.' -BarakAllaahu Feekum.
Then the Adhaan was called for the Isha
prayer, so the talk ended. The prayer
was about to begin and the people began pushing me to lead them in prayer. So I said to them: 'no way, I won't lead you
in prayer, the Imam will lead.'
They said: 'we swear by Allaah you will lead the
prayer, we swear by Allaah you will lead the prayer.'
I said: 'OK' and I led them in prayer. After we finished I left with the youth of Ansaar
as-Sunnah and I asked them: 'where did the Imam go?' They said:
'They evicted him.' I said: 'who evicted him?' they said: 'we swear by Allaah
his congregation evicted him.'
This is what happened. - O brothers -
So if a person comes and says that the Tijaaneeyah
al-Marganiyaah are fools! They
might slaughter him, not just evict him, but if you come to them with wisdom
and gentleness -BarakAllaahu Feekum then Allaah will make them benefit by this.
Advice to the Salafiyyoon
O brothers, use beneficial knowledge and solid proof
and beneficial wisdom in your Dawa'. You should have all the noble and
beautiful manners encouraged by the Book and the Messenger of guidance; indeed
they are causes for victory and causes for success.
You have to believe that the Companions did not spread
Islaam or enter it into the hearts except with their wisdom and their knowledge
more so than with their swords. However,
whoever enters into Islaam under the sword might not be firm, but whoever
enters Islaam by way of knowledge, proof and evidence then this is what makes
his Eemaan firm by Allaah's permission and His assistance.
And it is upon you to have these good methods and also
to be serious about knowledge. You have
to be serious about Dawa' to Allaah.
Now - O brothers - I advise you with two issues:
Firstly: Brotherhood between all of Ahl -ul-Sunnah;
So O you Salafiees, disseminate the soul of love and brotherhood between
yourselves. Put into effect what the
Messenger of Allaah - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam - informed us of regarding the believers: ‘Like
a building, some of its parts supporting others.’[2]
And that they are: ‘Like a single
body if one limb complains then the rest of the body suffers with fever and
insomnia.’[3]
This is how you should be O brothers: distance
yourselves from the causes of splitting, I swear by Allaah indeed it is a
dangerous evil and a disastrous disease.
Secondly: distance yourselves from the causes which
lead to enmity, hatred, splitting up and dissension.
Keep away from these things; because this has become
predominant nowadays at the hands of people, about whom only Allaah knows their
condition and intent. It has become
predominant and has torn apart the youth in this country - whether in the
university or other than it - or in the other parts of the Duniya.
Why?! Because those who are not from its people –
neither in knowledge nor in understanding - entered into the arena of giving Dawa'
to Allaah.
It is possible that the enemies could have entered
someone into the midst of the Salafeeyeen to tear them apart and split
them up, and this issue is not unlikely, rather it can truly happen -BarakAllaahu
Feekum.
Strive to have
brotherhood. If any dissension has
occurred between you, then both parties should make themselves forget what is
past and start with a clean slate now.
I say to the
brothers: whoever falls short it is not allowed to debase him, nor destroy the
one who is deficient. Whoever makes a
mistake amongst us we do not destroy him. -BarakAllaahu Feekum - but we cure him
with gentleness, wisdom and face him with love and friendship and all the rest
of the righteous manners, along with the correct Dawa' until he
repents. And if there remains a weakness
in him then we are not hasty with him, or otherwise, I swear by Allaah no one
will remain, no one will remain!
There are some
people now who chase after the Salafis so much so that they reached the
scholars and called them those who water things down (Mumaya’een)!! There is hardly any scholar in the arena of Dawa’ today except
that he has been falsely attacked with this claim about him! Of course this is the way of the Ikhwaan
al-Muslimeen and the way of Ahl-ul-Bida’ since, from the weapons of the Ahl
ul-Bida’ is that they begin by overthrowing the scholars, rather it is the
Jewish Masonic way: that if you wanted to discredit an idea, then discredit
their scholars or their personalities.
So keep away
from this rotten legacy and have respect for the scholars.
