Naseehah (Sincerity of Purpose) to Allaah and to the Muslims
In the Name of Allaah, ar-Rahmaan, ar-Raheem...
All praise is due to Allaah, and may Allaah raise the rank of the Messenger of Allaah, his family, his Companions, and those who follow his guidance, and grant them peace.
To proceed:
Verily it (this advice) is due to the gloomy calamities and catastrophes that have afflicted Islaam and its people and the disgrace and humility that have reached them at the hands of the enemies of Islaam, as they gather around them to feast, as if they were gathering around a dish to eat it.
I turn with my request to the Muslims' scholars and educational foundations in every region of this world, and to all of the rulers of the Muslims, that they fear Allaah regarding this Ummah, and that they recognize the dangers that are closing in on them, dangers that are the cause of the calamities and catastrophes befalling them. They must respond quickly, being conscious of the accountability (they have) in front of Allaah to lead the Ummah away from the tribulations and afflictions that have reached them. Furthermore, (I advise them) to hasten to take every possible step that will help them to lead the Ummah out (of such calamities). At the very head of these affairs is to return to their Religion of Truth, in all affairs of beliefs, acts of worship, manners, and politics.
They must establish the correct school curriculums derived from the Book of Allaah, the Sunnah of His Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam), and what the righteous Salaf were upon so as to educate the (forthcoming) generations with it. This must be done in masjids and in schools, at all grade levels, and in all forms of media, keeping in mind the statement of the noble Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam):
"All of you are shepherds, and you are all accountable for your flocks."
They must also keep in mind the statement of the noble Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam):
"If you perform business transactions of 'Eenah, content yourselves with agriculture, follow after the tails of cows, and abandon jihaad in the way of Allaah, then Allaah will send humiliation upon you, such that He will not remove until you return to your Religion."
And no doubt, the Ummah has fallen into worse than these affairs, to the point that their affair has reached this bitter state.
Additionally, they must keep in mind the Statement of Allaah, the Most High:
"And it is not for any believing man, nor for any believing woman, when Allaah and His Messenger have made a judgement in an affair, that they have any choice on their part."
So know that there is no way for you to ever deliver the Ummah (from harm) other than this way. And (know) that taking other approaches will not increase the Ummah in anything except destruction and humiliation. And (know) that nothing short of taking the Ummah away from their Religion will please the enemies of Islaam:
"And the Jews and Christians will never be pleased with you until you follow their religion."
I ask Allaah, the Generous, the Lord of the mighty Throne, to grant the Ummah, its rulers, scholars, and people, success in hastening to take these beneficial steps. Our Lord will not accept other than this. And may He gather their hearts and statements together upon the Truth.
And at this occasion I turn my advice to those whom Allaah has allowed to follow the methodology of the righteous Salaf, that they fear Allaah and be mindful of Him in all situations, open and secret. And (I advise them) to be sincere to Him in all their statements and actions, and to apply themselves fully to seeking beneficial knowledge.
And I advise the proprietors of the Internet websites to make these sites successful means of disseminating the Salafee methodology in the proper, scholastic way, with regards to everything they present to the people through these means that have been afforded them.
And let a sufficient number of the scholars of this methodology take up this task, especially those who are specialists.
So whoever is a specialist in Tafseer of the Noble Qur'aan, then let him write things related to Tafseer and its sciences, and let him touch on various issues of belief, acts of worship, dealings, and manners by way of the Verses that he explains. Let him also touch on the principles of Tafseer and its various branches.
And let the specialist in Hadeeth derive his writings from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam), and let him focus on topics of beliefs and the other things that we mentioned for his brother, the explainer of the Qur'aan. Likewise, he should also write about the principles of Hadeeth Sciences and about the biographies of the imaams of Hadeeth.
And let the specialist in Fiqh write within this field, and let him choose subjects to write about that aid the students of knowledge in understanding the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam), pairing that with issues that he solves, along with their evidences.
And let the specialist in History write about the life of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam), the lives of His Companions, and the lives of the great mountains of this Ummah who produced outstanding efforts that aided Islaam.
And let the specialist in the modes of recitation (Qiraa'aat of the Qur'aan) and Tajweed write within his field.
And let the specialist in (Arabic) Language write within his field, on the condition that he stays away from that which is not recognized by the Salafee methodology, like figurative speech (majaaz) and its different types.
And (I advise that) no one takes up the task of criticizing the people of innovation and refuting their falsehoods except the people of knowledge.
And I hope that those responsible for these sites, like Sahab and its sisters, will not accept any posts unless they are signed by their authors using their real names. And (I also hope) that they will not accept (the writings of) those who write under pen names.
Similarly, I hope that the Salafees in general will shun arguments and all other causes of differing. And if some of this (differing) does take place between some of the brothers, (I hope that) they will keep it to a minimum, and not quote and place their (opponent's) statements on Salafee websites, or on other than them, rather they refer the issue back to the people of knowledge so they can speak a word of Truth about it that will put an end, in shaa' Allaah, to the differing.
And I advise the brothers to be vigilant in spreading beneficial knowledge between themselves, and to spread the causes of affection and brotherhood between themselves.
May Allaah grant everyone success in attaining what pleases Him, and may He reconcile what is between the hearts. Verily my Lord is One who answers the supplications.

Some concern was raised over the original title of the post, "Naseehah to Allaah and to the Muslims," so the meaning of the word naseehah was added to keep people from thinking something improper.
So I just felt a need to clarify an issue that some may misunderstand. That is that we are indeed obliged to give naseehah to Allaah, based on the hadeeth of Tameem ibn Aws, as collected by Imaam Muslim:
الدِّينُ النَّصيحة قيل لمن قال لله ولكتابه ولرسوله ولأئمة المسلمين وعامتهم
The Deen is Naseehah." They said, "To whom?" He replied, "To Allaah, His Book, His Messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk."
So we give naseehah to Allaah by shunning all objects of worship except Him, making our worship for Him Alone, fearing his Punishment, hoping for His Reward, placing our trust in Him, making thikr, calling to His Religion, etc. The Naseehah given to Allaah is obviously different from the Naseehah given to the Qur'aan, and that which is given to the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam), and that which is given to the Muslims.
Similarly, we "aid Allaah" in a way that is different from how we "aid the Muslims," and we "preserve Allaah" in a way that is different from how we preserve other than Him, and we "give Allaah a loan" in a way that is not like how we give people loans, and so forth.
Allaah says:
مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ وَلَهُ أَجْرٌ كَرِيمٌ
"Who is the one who will loan Allaah a good loan, so that He can multiply it for him, and for him will be a generous reward?" (57:11)
يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا إِنْ تَنْصُرُوا اللَّهَ يَنْصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ
"O you who believe! If you aid Allaah, He will aid you and make your feet firm!" (47:7)
ِAnd from the hadeeth (#19 from Nawawee's 40):
احفظ الله يحفظك
"Preserve Allaah and He will preserve you..."
This is just to show that there is nothing wrong with the phrase "Naseehah to Allaah". However the change made in the title leaves less room for confusion, so may Allaah reward the administration for their good addition, and may He grant them goodness in this life and the Next.

Assalamu Alaikum!
Above are words of Our Noble Shaikh Rabee. A request to our tullabul-ilm that they must make out a good overall education syllabus with the advice from our ulema to our kids who are living in non-Muslim lands. I have 6 of them .Some syllabus which I got when I checcked out they were put out by Hizbees and etc.
Al-hamdulillah knowing the dangers we have started a small"madrassah" In english the normative sciences plus Arabic and quraan. We request if anyone is holding a syllabus as the shaikh has mentioned please mail it to us.
