The Intent of The Opponents

And I swear by Allaah; that those who make efforts in speech against me - or attack that which we are upon – do not do so except that the intended result is to bring down the Manhaj; so the one who dislikes this Manhaj speaks about its scholars.  He who hates this Manhaj and wants to bring it down follows this path, so that there are no obstacles for them: they follow way of the Jews and the way of the misguided groups from the Raawafidah and other than them.

The Raawafidah hate Islaam and they are not capable of speaking against Muhammad - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam, so they speak against Abu Bakr and Umar and the scholars of the Ummah; they want to overthrow Islaam.  If the people of major Bida' speak: then they don't speak against Ahmad and Shafi', but they speak against Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab and Ibn Taymeeyah and their likes; so that they can try to overthrow this Manhaj.

And now, we have people who have grown up amongst the ranks of the Salafeeyeen, I was not aware that they wanted to break up the leaders from amongst the scholars!

These people, what do they want? What do they want? If they intend Allaah and the Hereafter and intended to aid this Manhaj – they claim to love this Manhaj – but I swear by Allaah, if they really loved it they would have defended the scholars of this Manhaj.

So do not feel safe about your Deen with these people.  Do not regard them as trustworthy. BarakAllaahu Feekum - be completely careful of them, hold together firmly and have brotherhood amongst yourselves.

I know that you are not without blame, nor are the scholars without blame – we sometimes make mistakes with the exception of those who fall into Rafd or ‘aatizal or Tajahum or fall into Hizbeeyah from the different parties which are present; then this person is the one to be abandoned.

As for the Salafi who has allegiance to the Salafeeyeen and loves the Salafi Manhaj -BarakAllaahu Feekum- and dislikes the different groups, dislikes Bida’ and its people – amongst other aspects from the signs of the Salafi Manhaj – but then this Salafi becomes weak in other points, here we are gentle with this person we do not leave him but we advise him and we rescue him and we are patient with him and we try to cure him -BarakAllaahu Feekum.

If it were said: whoever makes a mistake is destroyed! Then according to this statement no-one remains! This is why you see these people, when they have finished dealing with the youth; they begin by overthrowing the scholars –  this is the Manhaj of the Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen when they entered into many countries.  The first thing they started with was overthrowing the scholars and at the same time they defend Sayyid Qutb, Hasan al-Banna, Mawdudi and others from amongst Ahl –ul Bida’.  They overthrow the scholars of the Salafi Manhaj and they described the scholars as being agents and spies and scholars of the rulers……and many other accusations!

So what is their intent!?

Their intent is to overthrow the Salafi Manhaj and to establish falsehood and misguidance upon mutiny.   Those who now defame the scholars say that they themselves are the Salafiyoon yet, along with that, they criticize the scholars of the Salafiyyah!

What do they want? Do they want to raise the banner of Islaam!? And raise the banner of the Sunnah and the Manhaj as-Salafi?!

Never, never!  These are indications and proofs that they are blameworthy liars, no matter what they claim for themselves.

Final Counsel

So I advise you O brothers and I emphasize that you leave off splitting and that you should have brotherhood and mutual cooperation upon the truth.  You should spread this Dawa' between the students of the university and other than them in its correct and beautiful form, not in the distorted form which these people follow!

Present the Dawa' as-Salafiyyah as I mentioned in a beautiful form with the words; ‘Allaah said, the Messenger of Allaah said, the Companions said, Shafi' said, Ahmad said, Bukhari said, Muslim said’, also the scholars of Islaam whom they respect and revere, bring their attention to the speech of the scholars -BarakAllaahu Feekum this will aid you a great deal.

Of course, you will find some people who will be obstinate but not everyone is obstinate.  You will find most of the people accepting your Dawa' whether it is here in the university or when you return to your countries. Use these methods which attract the people to the Book of Allaah and to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam -, to the Manhaj of the Salaf as-Salih, to the correct beliefs and correct Manhaj.

I ask Allaah - Tabaraka  wa Ta'ala - that He gives us and you capability and success in that which He loves and is pleased with and that He makes us from the sincere callers and practising scholars and keeps us and you away from the plots of Shaytaan, also from the plots of the Shayateen from Jinn and mankind.

I ask Him - Tabaraka wa Ta'ala - that He puts love between your hearts and gathers you upon the truth, that you are beneficial wherever you reside and wherever you travel and go to, and I ask Allaah to make that a reality.

All Praise belongs to Allaah, may His peace

and blessings be upon our final

Prophet Muhammad, his

Family, his Companions

and all those who

follow his

guidance.
