Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyah said:
------------ SHAYKH UBAYD AL-JAABIREE?S COMMENTS ON THE CLAIMS OF BILAL PHILIPS Concerning the statement of Bilal Philips in his response:
Also regarding the general statement made by Sheikh al Albaani then we sat with Sheikh Obayd al Jabree a month ago and this is what he said: Sheikh Obayd al Jaabree said:
Hence, there is no absolute negation at all, rather there is tafseel (detail) to this matter. And further, even in the words Bilaal quoted from Imam al-Albaanee, there is a clear exception to Sheikh Al-Albaanee?s view concerning the general rule. However, it is not appropriate for a person like Bilal to either take a single tape of al-Albani and build his whole manhaj of ta?aawun based upon it, or to take just the view of al-Albani (which is actually different to what he thinks it is in the first place), and then to build his whole manhaj of ta?aawun (co-operation) around it. And then on 14th December, the following reached us, being the comments of Shaykh Ubayd al-Jaabiree upon the ?clarification? of Bilaal Philips, in his response to myself, as transcribed by Abdul-Ilah from the cassette: THE CLAIM OF GIVING ?SUBTLE DA?WAH? TO THE INNOVATORS ..Bilal Philips said:
So Sheikh ?Ubayd al-Jaabiree continues:

ON ATTENDING THE GATHERINGS OF THE INNOVATORS Shaykh Ubayd said:
CONFIRMATION OF FIRST ADVICE GIVEN TO BILAL PHILIPS And the above understandings and explanations are precisely what I advised Bilaal in my response to him, but unfortunately, as we have noted before, there is a great disease rampant in the West of da?ees who work ?independently?, feeling there is no need for them to seek the advice and counsel of the Scholars known for the Salafiyyah, firm upon it, and who constantly advise the youth in these matters pertaining to ta?aawun (co-operation) with Ahl ul-Bid?ah and the hizbiyyoon. So they wish to be independent making their own decisions and implementations based upon their own flawed understandings and misconceptions of the stances of the scholars - and then when they are corrected, they respond with the type of response not dissimilar to what Bilal has responded with. Covering his previous tracks and his behaviour by explaining what his positions are now, without acknowledging the many serious mistakes he has made in the past, which need clarification, as is required by this manhaj - so that one is absolved of any blame and so that the people are not misled by previous errors. And as we shall see, from the quotes later, there are many issues that Bilal needs to clarify in no uncertain terms, such as his praise and commendation of the heads and chiefs of innovation - all of which exists in his books which are still circulated and read amongst the people. And especially since, he still holds onto misconceptions concerning the position of Imaam al-Albaanee towards the Innovators and dealing with them. I must also make it clear that the above words of Bilal Philips were taken to Shaykh Ubayd al-Jaabiree without my knowledge, and I was unaware that the brothers had sought responses from Shaykh Ubayd concerning Bilal?s response to me - just in case Bilal or anyone else for that matter attempt to claim that I sought to escalate this issue with the scholars. This matter was clear to me from the beginning, it is Bilal who needs to correct his misconceptions - which he continues to propagate. There is actually more to the response of Shaykh Ubayd to the statements of Bilal Philips, but the above is all that has been made available to me to date. And the full text and tape of the statements of Shaykh Ubayd al-Jaabiree will be made available soon, inshaAllaah. Just like it is also important to note that our issue with him was not merely that he goes to Tableegh and lectures to them, but that he goes to the likes of Al-Muntada (the Surooree/Qutubee group whom he no ability nor knowledge of correcting, especially since he has agreed with many of their positions), JIMAS, and other unsavoury organisations who wear the gown of Salafiyyah but in fact are hiding the doctrines of Syed Qutb, Mohammad Qutb, Safar al-Hawali and other deviants. And that this has been his practice all along for many years, despite the fact that all of the true Salafi du?aat in the West have been aware of these matters, ever since Imaam al-Albaanee (rahimahullaah) made tabdee? (declared them to be innovators) of these people, in generic terms, labelling them ?Khaarijiyyah ?Asriyyah?. It is hard to believe that Bilal could remain ignorant of these matters (especially since he claims a strong connection to the recordings of Shaykh Al-Albaanee), and if he was ignorant then it shows that he is not the one to be going on da?wah tours, especially in the current climate of mass confusion about the Salafi da?wah and its manhaj. Rather, he should refrain and learn from the scholars and their statements.

GIVING DA?WAH TO THE INNOVATORS, ITS NATURE, CONDITIONS, AND CONTEXT I also clarified to Bilal Philips that we do not reject giving da?wah to the people of Hizbiyyah (like Tableegh) and others, upon the correct Sharee?ah principles, and mixing with them, limitedly, for the sake of this purpose alone - in perfect agreement with what Shaykh ?Ubayd has said above - but we took issue and oppose Bilal Philips with his open attachments to the likes of Ali Timimi, Zarabozo, JIMAS and others known for their hizbiyyah and deviation, and going to the platforms of the likes of these people - all of whom are known to be amongst the Harakiyyoon (political activists), upon the manhaj of Safar and Salman and Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul-Khaaliq and others. Refer to the above point, which shows the correctness of this concern, by Bilal?s own acknowledgement. It is well known that when one corrects the people of innovation, there are three requirements that the Scholars mention that are important: 1. Knowledge and insight of the Salafi aqeedah and manhaj and the deviations you hope to correct in them. 2. That you will be listened to and your words will carry effect. 3. That you will make clear the errors without being bashful or shy and without flattering their deviated partisanship. In addition to that, we fail to understand what exactly is his ?subtle? da?wah that he is giving, and whether this type of ?subtle? da?wah was known by the Salaf, in their correcting, advising and admonition of those who had deviations in aqeedah, tawheed and manhaj. Rather the Salaf were clear in their affair. Shaykh Salih al-Fawzaan was asked,
We ask Bilal, in all of his co-operation with the people of hizbiyyah and deviation over many years, and his associations with them, did he ever follow the manhaj that the scholars above have outlined? Where are the cassettes of Bilal Philips in refutation/correction of JIMAS, or al-Muntadah, or Safar al-Hawaali, or the other groups and sects of hizbiyyah? Where are his 18 pages responses to the slanderers of Imaam Ibn Baaz, and Imaam al-Albanani? Where are his 18 page responses to those who rush to takfir and call to rebellion? Where are his 18 page responses to the Khawaarij of our times ? Al-Qutbiyyah and as-Surooriyyah? Where are his 18 page responses to those who call for nearness to the Innovators by way of their false principles of unconditioned ta?aawun (co-operation with the innovators) and al-muwaazanah (speaking good of the innovators along with their mistakes)? Where are his 18 page refutations of those who accuse our scholars of Irjaa?? Where are his 18 page responses to those who slander the Salafis with the terms Madkhalees and Jaamees? There are NONE! Rather his 18 page response, and for the first time ever, has only been to hide his own mistakes, and to demonise the Salafis and their du?aat and implicitly their scholars (as will be shown) ? but never before have we seen 18 page responses for the sake of the Salafi manhaj and the du?aat who truly carry it! And Al-hamdulillaah, the Salafis have been advising and correcting these partisans for years and years, whereas Bilal was intimate with them for years and years. Where is his walaa and baraa? for the Salafis? Why NOW has he chosen not to mix with al-Muntada? Or JIMAS? Is it because he now realises their deviation? Why has he made hajr from them now? Where is his personal understanding of the position of Al-Albaanee regarding hajr - When he holds that boycotting is not to be done in the current times? Or is it that what the Salafis corrected him for, was actually the truth and which he is too arrogant to concede to and to admit, and instead of showing gratefulness he returns it with patronising attitudes and unjustified lies, fabricated claims, and baseless narrations, aimed at undermining those who advised him, all of which is found in abundance in his second reply, and examples of which will be given later.

LONG WINDED SPEECH OF BILAL PHILIPS TO HIDE AND CONFUSE THE ISSUES It was also extremely unfortunate for Bilal to go into unnecessary speech about this scholar or that scholar allowing photos for certain reasons - and going into detail about the rulings of photos - or his seeking to use Saleem al-Hilaalee's and Shaykh Ali?s appearance on video, to play down the fact that either he or his son were responsible for his pictures on his website. Since, there is NO justification for this matter at all. It was also unfortunate for Bilal to offer advice to read this book and that book to the brothers whom he was criticising (more on this below). All this long-winded speech is to merely hide his errors and to deflect from the real issues at hand? Why this patronising attempt - in front of the audience - to appear as if you are so knowledgeable of the manhaj of the Salaf, in knowledge and action - such that you appear to advise some of the youth or reprimand them - when all the du?aat asked you to do was to be careful of sitting on the platforms of the Innovators and not to be an ?independent? da?ee, and not to have pictures of yourself pasted here and there ? and truly what they advised you with was correct and true! And then in front of a dismayed audience you bring 18 pages of deceit, misrepresentation, baseless narrations in order demonise those who corrected you ? all in order to hide what was with yourself of errors. Allaahul-musta?aan. MORE ON BILAL PHILIPS PROMOTION OF THE INNOVATORS And about the likes of Qutb, Mawdudi and others, then I merely mentioned that it is incorrect to compare them to Ibn Hajr and an-Nawawi and others, as Shaykhul-Islaam Al-Albaanee himself pointed out. Since the errors of the contemporaries are far more serious and great than those of the past, for the simple reason that the contemporaries are ignorant and non-Scholars, unlike the great scholars of the past. Hence, for Bilal to equate between the two, and then build upon this the principle that we do not reject ?all what is bad?, and then to leave this unrestricted, is incorrect. Rather, this leans towards the wicked and evil bid?ah of al-Muwaazanah which was revived by the modern-day Ikhwanees such as Abdur-Rahman Abdul-Khaliq, Salman al-Awdah, all in order to accommodate the Innovators and present their works and methodologies to the people. Anyhow, this only applies to those who overwhelmingly were upon the correct Salafi aqeedah and manhaj and who then err in matters in which they make ijtihaad, while being qualified to make ijtihaad in the first place - so they are shown kindness and advised and corrected. As for those who are not like that but who have clear deviation, then they are blamed and censured - in general - so that the people are saved from their evil - while also being advised and corrected at the same time, so that they return. This is actually the manhaj of Imaam al-Albaanee as is clear from all of his tapes - not just taking from one tape from his many thousands of tapes - but taking all of his words and judgements together so one can clearly see his manhaj and also his implementation of his manhaj, so that there can be no confusion as to what he means in his words. Just to recall that Bilal Philips stated in his initial mail in November 2001 (not ten, twenty or thirty years ago!):
These were the simple points I made in my first response, explaining in all of them the rules and underlying principles, exactly as the people of knowledge of our times have explained them and clarified them, and pointing out that brother Bilal had errors either in his presentation of these matters or his acting upon the requirements of these principles - by way of his own admission. It was as simple as that. And I made these clarifications because the private responses of Bilal, which included references to myself in the absence of my knowledge, and certain claims about me, were made public - not by me, but others. So when they were brought to my attention, I responded. And one should note that those who made apparent and spread across the earth both responses of Bilal Philips were none other than the hizbees, takfeerees, Qutbees and Suroorees ? The very same people the shaykhs asked Bilal to keep away from ? So we see that the words of Bilal found a home in the hearts and minds of the very people the shaikhs asked Bilal to avoid!? So ponder. So Bilal?s email attacks upon the Salafi du?aat who are recommended by the scholars, can be found on the takfeeree and hizbee websites ? Ponder!

IRRELEVANT ISSUES Also, why Bilal had to go into a detailed explanation about how he only read Mohammad Qutb 30 or more years ago as a non-Muslim and so on, makes no sense. Since I did not even raise this issue in the first place. It is unfortunate that he raised this issue in his 18 page response to me, falsely giving the impression to the readers, that this is a matter which I raised - when I did not - rather it was raised by somebody else. So it is incorrect for him to address this issue in the course of his reply to me - when it does not even relate to me to begin with - falsely giving the reader the impression that this is a matter for which I deserve correction and criticism. As for Mohammad Qutb, then he is the one who brought the madhhab of the Khawarij into the Arabian Peninsula. He is the one who spread the refuse of his brother, Sayyid Qutb within the Arabian Peninsula. He was the one who plotted the accusation of Irjaa? against the Salafis as has mentioned by the Shaykh Abdul-Maalik al-Jazaa?iree. He, Muhammad Qutb, is the one who makes takfeer of all the Muslim societies, and calls them societies of ?Jaahiliyyah?. He is the one who was refuted for his false understanding of the meaning of Laa ilaaha ilallaaha by Shaykh Fawzaan in his al-Ajwibah al-Mufeedah on p.67. He is the one who set up his student puppets within the Arabian peninsula to carry the poison of his brother, Sayyid Qutb, the banner of Khaarijiyyah. He is the one who infused the thought of Irjaa? into his disciples such as Safar and Salman, when they abandoned Istithnaa (making exception by saying InshaAllaah), which is the asl of Irjaa - when they said absolutely that Qutb is Shaheed, i.e. in Jannah for certain!! He is the one who incited these ignorant youth to attack the manhaj of Imaam al-Albaanee and Imaam Ibn Baaz, rather the manhaj of Prophethood in rectification of the affairs of the Ummah. So it is a great error to recommend these books, even if they have some goodness in them, since the authors are from the generality of the people of desires, censure and rebuke. And if Bilal had actually bothered to learn the affairs of manhaj, around which there has been great controversy for the past 10 years, if not more, then he would have understood these matters ? and instead of taking isolated statements from scholars which gave him ease and lenience, he would have researched into the arena of da?wah and would have observed what has taken place of great deviation and confusion in the affairs of knowledge and action and the manhaj of the Salaf. Anyhow, it seems that Brother Bilal?s involvement or sympathy with some of those who deviated in manhaj and aqeedah, like Safar and Salman and others, has led himself to make errors in manhaj, both in his understanding (or misunderstanding of the words of the scholars) and in his practical behaviour. Errors that for a person who is heavily involved in da?wah can lead to dangerous consequences for the audience he is addressing or to his readership audience. Especially since the many errors in manhaj that are found in his books have not received the type of clarification that is required. THE REVOLUTIONARY MANHAJ Bilal Philips states:
This is the thawree (revolutionary) manhaj, not the Prophetic manhaj, in rectification - and promoting these types of ideas only supports the ways and methods of the Harakiyyoon (political activists).

It is not correct to make ta?weel (interpolation) of ahaadeeth in this matter - especially when it is based upon speculation and probabilities. This might be a small matter to some - but to the Salaf it was not, since opening the door to one?s personal opinions in the ta?weel of the Qur?an and the Sunnah, leads to greater evil and constitutes lying upon Allaah and His Messenger.

RAISING OF THE INNOVATORS AND FALSE COMPARISONS Bilal Philips sates:
WE know from Hassan al-Banna, his unity with the Raafidi Shi?ah and his consideration of them and Ahl us-Sunnah to be the same. And as for Mawdudi then WE know his concept of Imaamah (leadership), which is akin to that of the Rafidah Shee?ah and that supreme overall goal, is the Islamic government, and that the acts of worship are only a means to that end. It is oppression and injustice to compare between an Imaam of Salafiyyah and deviants who merely carried and revived the flag of the Raafidah and Khawaarij !. Click below here for the true Salafi position on some these heads of innovation: >>Hasan Al-Banna<< [url=http://spubs.com/sps/sp.cfm?secID=NDV&subsecID=NDV08&loadpage=displaysubsection.cfm]>>Al-Mawdoodee<<[/url] MORE PRAISE AND RAISING OF THE INNOVATORS AND STATEMENTS BASED UPON IGNORANCE Bilal Philips states:
Then in his footnote to this translation he made, Bilal Philips states,
This might be an old statement, but these books are still in circulation and being read. Hence, some clarity is required, and a recantation made from praising the chiefs and heads of innovation. Particularly, when brother Bilal, whilst misunderstanding the words of Imaam al-Albaanee on hajr, and also presenting isolated words from Imaam al-Albaanee that would suggest to the reader that Qutb and Banna are just like Imaam an-Nawawi and Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajr! MORE PRAISING AND RAISING OF THE INNOVATORS AND TREATING THEM AS GREAT SCHOLARS AND LEADERS Bilal Philips translates:
Maududi was the great reviver of the manhaj of revolution, destruction, wastage and torment of the Muslims, which was adapted by Qutb in later years, only to unleash the tribulations and disasters upon them. Again this type of raising of the chiefs of misguided methodologies should be recanted from, since these books are in circulation being read and digested. [url=http://spubs.com/sps/sp.cfm?secID=NDV&subsecID=NDV08&loadpage=displaysubsection.cfm]>>Al-Mawdoodee<<[/url] NEGATING THE EXISTENCE OF GROUPS OF INNOVATION, DEVIATION AND MISGUIDANCE, AND DISLIKING THE DIFFERENTIATION OF SALAFIYYAH On the tape title ?Shi?ite Islaam? (In refutation of the Shi?ites and their kufr beliefs): Side B. A man asked a question to Bilal Philips, the question was ?Was Prophet Ibraheem, ?alayhi salatu wasaalam, a Sunni? What about such a person what should he be named?? The exact answer of Bilal Philips:
Refer to the well known tape of Shaykh al-Albaanee and his discussion with the questioner concerning the word Salafi and naming with it and the meaning behind it, and calling to what it represents, and in which he refutes these very same misconceptions. Bilal Philips certainly had misconceptions in some basic things pertaining to the Salafi manhaj, which were clarified by Imaam al-Albaanee amongst others. Hence, it is required that when the likes of these ideas were being promoted in public forums, they should be clarified in public to lift the confusion. Click here to read the correct position of the Salafi and Salafiyyah: [url=http://spubs.com/sps/sp.cfm?secID=SLF&subsecID=SLF01&loadpage=displaysubsection.cfm]>>Salafiyyah - Its Meaning and Ascription<<[/url] IGNORANCE (OR FEIGNING IGNORANCE) OF THE SECT OF QUTUBIYYAH AND OF THEIR EVIL AND OF THE EVIL OF WHAT THEY ARE UPON OF IGNORANCE, SCUM AND MISGUIDANCE Bilal Philips stated after the lecture at Leeds University entitled ?Existence Of God? in 1997. Question from Abu Tasneem Mushaf: ?How do we understand the differences between Safar and Salmaan and the rest of the Scholars?? Bilal Philips answered:
These differences were declared differences in aqeedah and manhaj, and on account of them, Shaykh al-Albaanee made tabdee? of this manhaj (in Dhul Hijjah 1417H) and declared its adherents ?neo-Khawaarij?, and also sought refuge from the ?evil of what they are upon of ignorance, misguidance and scum? - let alone the fact that they were imprisoned after the scholars saw through their revolutionary, takfeeri manhaj. Recently, before Shaykh Ibn Uthaimeen?s passing away, he called these differences ?khilaaf aqadiyy?, i.e. differences in aqeedah! - and advised against their tapes, saying that the good that is in their tapes can be found in the tapes of others and that the tapes of Al-Albaanee and Ibn Baaz should be listened to, not the tapes of the ?thawriyyoon? (revolutionaries). The above is again an illustration that Bilal Philips is not qualified to speak of these types of affairs - and that what has caused this, is his lack of being in touch with the scholars who can inform him and direct him. And this is the issue that we have with Brother Bilal, he should not act independently, like he has being doing for many, many years, as he is not qualified to do so, rather he should keep in contact with the scholars who are specialists in this field, to remain upon clarity in the positions he holds and the viewpoints he expresses. Otherwise, great confusion will remain as is clear to everyone.

LACK OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MANHAJ OF THE SALAF IN THE ISSUE OF TA?AAWUN (CO-OPERATION) Bilal Philips again is scheduled to deliver lectures with the hizbee group known as the ?Islaamic Network? which headed by the likes of Abu Aaliyah in December 2001 and January 2002. This Abu ?Aaliyah who was criticized strongly by Shaykh Muqbil ibn Haadee al-Waadi?ee (rahimahullaah) on a tape that is available at Salafi Publications - And the Shaykh warned against him again before his death, rahimahullaah, after some people tried to praise Abu ?Aaliyah a few years later. The noble Shaykh Muqbil labeled him ?Abu Haawiyah? (Father of the pit) and refuted and warned his evil ? So Abu ?Aaliyah will be written down as one abandoned and humiliated by Al-Imaam Muqbil!. Abu ?Aaliyah is the same individual who stands upon the pulpit and invites people to the Qutubi Jimas hizb that has been inviting open hizbees and qutubis to its conferences since 1997 (to which Bilal Philips has been attending), the likes of Ali Timimi, Idrees Palmer and others. This Abu ?Aaliyah and his blind-followers praise and defend Safar and Salmaan and promote them as scholars, defending them whilst upon ignorance of their true state and condition, and utilising generalised statements to downplay and belittle the clear proof that makes their deviation and misguidance evident. There is a refutation of Abu ?Aaliyah on the TROID website. So now we find Bilal Philips once again finding for himself ?grey, misty? hizbees - who have been refuted by the scholars. Bilal Philips lecture program in Malaysia, July 2001:
This is a Malaysian web site - Saba is the name of one of the Malaysian states/districts. All the locations Johor Bharu, Melaka, Subang Jaya, Selangor are in Malaysia. Click on the names to get a short biography. So for Imran N Hossein, we get:
Our noble Salafi brother (reliable in his narrating), Abdur-Rahmaan Al-Fransee, who lives in Malaysia states:
Again, from the Salafi manhaj, is that one is careful, about whom one is associated with, and for whom one make?s public appearances and so on. This is just another example of Bilal?s ?independent? work, away from implementing the requirements of the manhaj of the scholars he claims to follow. Abu ad-Dardaa said,
We believe that Bilal does not have this fiqh, and nor has he displayed it, and he knows it, by way of his own admission. Hence, he needs to correct his understandings of hajr and ta?aawun, as this is door through which evil begins to enter into Ahl us-Sunnah, not necessarily through the doctrines or the ideas, as a starting point, but on account of undue lenience in these issues. Furthermore, it is to be noted that Bilal Philips? photo again appears on the posters of the Malaysian ?tour? along side the ?soofee? - Allaahul-musta?aan. THE ESSENCE OF THE ISSUE This is only a small sample and the intent here was not to be exhaustive. There is much more. But what is the point in all of this (i.e. what has been mentioned above)? The answer: Bilal has many errors, many of which are still propagated ? in the field of hajr, the ahl ul-bid?ah, ta?aawun, and we do not see any great clarity or the type of clarification from ones? errors that are required when errors are made of this nature - especially in the field of da?wah work. Remaining silent about this is a means of hiding the truth and earning the wrath of Allaah, by concealing these types of oppositions. Especially when the da?ee or person under question holds great sway over people - due to his popularity or whatever. And all of this is from the angle of wishing clarity and safety for Bilal? And secondly, so that those who might be misled by the orientations Bilal puts across can be protected from his errors. I would also like to make it clear that I have nothing personal to gain from this. The only concern is that there is in Bilal?s implementation in certain issues which is dangerous for him, first and foremost, and then to the many people who he has influenced since the people who hold him with reverence and respect, may not see through the errors that others can see. In addition he has some severe misconceptions about the way of the Salaf that he needs to correct by sitting and learning from the Scholars such as Shaykh Ubayd al-Jaabiree? or Shaykh Rabee? or any of the other scholars who have great experience about the Jamaa?aat and the people of deviation and Hizbiyyah, unlike Bilaal Philips, whose lack of awareness and knowledge in this field has not allowed him to take the required precautions and whose mixing with the people of hizbiyyah has coloured his perceptions. All I did was to convey their understandings (i.e. of the scholars) to Bilaal, to which he wrote his 18 page response. And what I found strange was that this audience, after Bilal released his response, did nothing but rejoice, as is clear from the way they distributed it and spread it over the Internet - while being blind to the fact that the response he was given initially, was a knowledge-based response, in perfect agreement with a sound understanding of the Salafi manhaj and in perfect agreement with what the scholars themselves advise in the likes of these situations, correctly outlining the errors in implementation and orientation of Bilal Philips in certain matters.

Bilal Philips? his False Accusations and Some of his Diplomatic Meanderings What follows below is a list of retractions or meanderings made by Bilal Philips, in his own diplomatic way, and also a list of his unfounded and baseless accusations (which could amount to slanders). And we ask him to take them back, and to recant from them. THE DECEPTION OF BILAL PHILIPS IN THE ISSUE OF HIS SELF-PROMOTION BY WAY OF PHOTOGRAPHS Bilal Philips stated in his last reply (December 2001):
Alhamdulillaah, the point that I originally made, and which we found fault with, was Bilal?s pictures which have no other purpose except self-promotion. I hardly believe, and I doubt anybody else does, that Bilal?s previous view that photographs are permissible, would allow him - as someone who preaches and writes on Tawheed and quotes the sayings of Allaah?s Messenger concerning the destruction of pictures - I hardly believe, that holding to the view that photos are permissible, is a justification of allowing one?s photos to be taken (and then displayed) for the purpose of self-promotion and glorification. However, this I believe is a diplomatic answer from Bilal. Since the issue has NOTHING to do with holding whether photos are permissible or not (and this was NOT the issue that was raised before by us). But the issue was that someone who 'preaches' Tawheed and writes on the subject, then it is inconceivable that such a person, even if he holds the taking of photos to be permissible, then it is inconceivable that such a person should not show rejection at personal photos being taken - whilst knowing that they are not being taken for any other reason than promotion (not for passports, not for driving licenses and what is similar to that), and additional to that, take the issue of one?s pictures being placed on ones website on the Internet, and then taking one whole year to remove them. This, as we originally stated, is something that for the one who is upon Tawheed, a Muwahhid, who has been nurtured upon Kitaab ut-Tawheed, and who understands the origins and emergence of Shirk, - rather one who actually preaches on these subjects - and then falls into the likes of this self-promotion, then this is a great calamity. As I said, this is a diplomatic answer from Bilal, which really does not address the actual issue that was raised. In fact, Bilal?s original justification in his first reply, was unconvincing, if not pathetic. You can read my original response to his first justification further below. Also he has surrounded his retraction (in the sum whole of his document) with a barrage of false claims, unfounded narrations, and propaganda aimed at discrediting and demonising those who corrected him. Let Bilal know that this type of talbees (deception) will not pull the wool over our eyes.

HIDDEN ATTACKS AGAINST THE MANHAJ OF SHAYKH RABEE? AND SHAYKH MUQBIL, THE SHAYKHS OF MADINAH IN GENERAL, AND OTHERS WHO ARE THE ONES WHO REFUTED THE PARTISANS WHOM BILAL PHILIPS ACCOMMODATES, MIXES WITH, AND BEFRIENDS Bilal Philips stated in his last reply (December 2001):
I wonder who he is talking about? There is no one from the 'students of knowledge' who has been criticized in the West, except that the criticism has a precedence from the major scholars of today. Suhaib Hasan was criticized by many of the Salafi Shaykhs, for his hizbiyyah, attacks against the scholars and allying with Jam'iyyah Ihyaa at-Turaath (the organization spreading Qutubiyyah and Hizbiyyah). JIMAS likewise, the same with Abu Aaliyah, the same with Abu Muslimah, Ali Timimi, Zarabozo, al-Muntada and others. In fact the criticism of all those [du'aat] in the West, has a precedence from the Scholars, when these scholars were informed and consulted, about the antics of these people. The only problem Bilal really has, is that he co-operates with the likes of these people, and is not willing to admit that he is co-operating with the people who have been criticized by the great scholars of today, like Shaykh Rabee?, Shaykh Muqbil, and other Shaykhs. To attack the Salafis who present and adhere to the advices and positions of these Shaykhs, is in reality a hidden and veiled attack on the manhaj of these Shaykhs - whom, and all praise is due to Allaah - we keep in regular contact with and seek their advice in our affairs - especially on the affairs of da?wah and the affairs of the people of hizbiyyah and so on. Bilal in actual fact has a real problem with this connection that the Salafis have with the scholars, and who are upon baseerah (sure-sightedness) concerning the people of Hizbiyyah, and upon baseerah about the manhaj of the Salaf in da?wah and who are upon the straight path walhamdulillaah. Otherwise, let Bilal himself explain who are those people in the West who are masquerading as Salafis and who need to be exposed (as he himself acknowledges, and as he textually stated in his second response). So who exactly are these people? Is it the likes of Ali Timimi? The likes of al-Muntada? The likes of JIMAS? So who exactly are those who masquerade as Salafis in the West and who need to be exposed? And how should they be exposed? Is it by referring their affair and their condition to the Salafi scholars who are specialists in this field and who have a long history of dealing with the likes of these people and their form of hizbiyyah - such that they can advise others? And is this not what has been done by the Salafis in the West? In reality, this is the problem that Bilal actually has - he has a fundamental problem with this issue of Jarh and Ta?deel - and his attacking the Salafis in the West, is only his own way of attacking this methodology. Otherwise if he affirms this need, then in the lands of the West how is it to be fulfilled. By referring to the scholars and seeking their advice and judgments on issues pertaining to people and their speech and their behavior and so on. And this is exactly what the Salafis have been doing - when there emerged from certain people, statements or actions, which oppose the Salafi manhaj, or statements of defamation against the Scholars, or statements and actions which accommodate the people of hizbiyyah and the likes. The only sticking point is that unfortunately, those individuals and organizations who deviated are the very ones that Bilal was (and is) co-operating with. Anyhow the above statement of Bilal is full of exaggerations, lies and distortions, and I could expand on each one of those points and request proof, with the isnaad, for each of the claims he has made - and I know with certainty he will not be able to bring anything that relates to the Salafis he is attacking. Since, the Salafis have not made themselves the judges of common Muslims - this is a lie and slander. Nor do they willfully expel people from Salafiyyah. Nor do they spend their valuable time on following the mistakes of the people, or searching for them, for their time is too valuable for that to begin with. But what they do is seek the advice and counsel of the scholars, by keeping in regular contact with them. The likes of Bilal and others know that the Salafis want to connect the West to the real scholars, those who are upon sure-sightedness in their manhaj and in their positions towards the Innovators, and the people of Hizbiyyah. And a result of this will be that popular da?ees who like to work ?independently? and who like to preach their own understanding of the Salafi manhaj, which allows for them great ease and lenience and allows them to implement their ?Fiqh ul-Waasi?? (The Broader Fiqh) ? as a result they will dwindle in the eyes of the people. We know all of this rhetoric only too well. MORE? Bilal Philips stated in his last reply (December 2001):
Shanshanah Ma?roofah. Bring your proof with sanad if you are indeed truthful!? Name us the people who said that you are ?worse than the Jews and Christians??! Otherwise you have lied and slandered just to gain the sympathy of the people. And what has all of this got to do with the few issues on which Bilal was corrected and advised? And what has this got to do with me and my answers to Bilal?s confusion on the issues of co-operation with Hizbiyyah, on hajr and the issue of self-promotion by way of photographs? Why all this talbees and fooling of the people? BILAL PHILIPS ATTEMPTS AT PATRONISING AND SIGNS OF HIS ARROGANCE AND FLEEING FROM THE ACTUAL ISSUES Bilal Philips stated in his last reply (December 2001):
This is mere patronizing! - All praise is due to Allaah, we have been doing this for many years in the Birmingham and England as a whole. So whilst we were quoting and working from the books and works of the scholars that Bilal has named here, he was promoting the books, names and tapes of the people of misguidance? (see above for proofs of Bilal Philips? true call over the last several years!). Whilst we were promoting, translating, publishing and recommending the works of the true Salafi scholars - Bilal was busy co-operating with enemies of the Salafi scholars. While we were presenting the clarifications of the scholars concerning the Jama?aat of bid?ah and hizbiyyah in the west and the deviant callers, Bilal was actually co-operating with them. While we have around 20 brothers or so who have studied in Madinah, and around 20 or so brothers who have studied in Yemen, and through which we have a tight and constant link with the scholars ? Bilal Philips (on the other hand) has been co-operating with the enemies of the Salafi scholars. Then he has the audacity and the arrogance to come out with the nonsense above. This shows either Bilal?s ignorance, or his being far and distant from the scholars. It is quite sickening to see this patronizing attitude from da?ees who cannot simply admit their misunderstanding of the manhaj, their errors, and their incorrect conduct, and then resort to the likes of this rhetoric, beguiling and bewildering the audience with emotional rhetoric, away from any proper knowledge based discussion. THE GREAT SHAKINESS OF BILAL AND HIS CONTRADICTORY EXPLANATIONS Bilal Philips stated in his last reply (December 2001):
Really! See above for the reality of this statement. So you do make hajr from them (except the salaam!). So where is your (own personal) understanding of the statement of Shaykhul-Islaam Al-Albaanee now, in which you claim that there is NO hajr in our times absolutely?! And where was this hajr from the Suroorees like Jimas, Muntadah and Islamic Network - Did you and do you restrict your relationship with them to just the salaam!? Did you attend all those conferences of the people of hizbiyyah and go and visit the organisations of hizbiyyah JUST so you could give them salaams? And was the talks and lectures you did, just something you did on the side? Rather your hajr, may Allaah guide us all to His pleasure, was from the Salafis for many years. And again in this email you single out your attacks upon the Salafis - You retract begrudgingly and only when all avenues of slipping away are removed. You lie and misquote upon us without any proof. Why is it that you have not written such scathing attacks upon the Suroorees like Safar and Salmaan and Jimas and Muntadah? Or is it that you prefer to attack the Salafis and people of Sunnah over the misguided ones?! In the above statement is a clear sign of Bilal?s shakiness in his understanding and implementation of the Salafi manhaj. The perceptive reader will have noticed this all along. Again, leave aside this deceit and fooling with the minds of the people! BILAL PHILIPS :: YOU HAVE NOT STOPPED! The website of the "Ramadhan Foundation" there is an e-flyer for their "Convention on Muslim Unity". >>SEE THE FLYER HERE<< The speakers include Imran Waheed (Hizb ut-Tahrir), Jamal Badawi (Mu'tazili), Yvonne Ridley and Dr. Bilal Philips. Look who else is involved in this event upon which you were mentioned, may Allaah protect the Muslims from deviation and misguidance:
Just read the list of deviated groups! These are the speakers, may Allaah protect the Muslims from them:
MORE CONTRADICTIONS Bilal Philips stated in his last reply (December 2001):
Just read the quotes of Bilal Philips himself above to confirm the falsity of this paragraph! Furthermore this is what he wrote in his email response in November 2001:
It seems that Bilal Philips ?forgets? what he says from one email to the next!! Bilal, throughout, has shown no coherence, neither in his thinking, neither in his writing, and nor in his actions.

ANOTHER CLEAR LIE Bilal Philips stated in his last reply (December 2001):
Is this a retraction or a denial of ever being associated!? Is this just another diplomatic retraction, given the great lavish praises given by Bilal to the likes of Mawdudi and others, or is it just another denial? Bilal Philips states:
Bilal Philips translates:
Previously, they were considered to be great scholars, revivers, blessed with such vision and insight by Allaah, then following on from that, they were placed on a par with the likes of Ibn Hajr and an-Nawawi (which Bilal still holds to this day until we see a retraction), and then he still promotes the propagation of their books, which is actually forbidden (in accordance with the Salafi manhaj). Then after all of this, when he is corrected and advised and his false understandings and perceptions explained to him, he comes with words and statements of deceit, like the one above, all aimed at covering himself. We know this only too well Bilal, we know this type of behaviour only too well, because we have the experience of the Shaykhs from whom we learn from and with whom we have sat and learnt about the reality of the Hizbiyyoon, and those who lean towards them and ally with them, and choose to attack the Salafis instead of the Hizbiyyoon, and whose history is replete with love for the people of hizbiyyah ? as evidenced by their writings and actions.

ANOTHER DECEPTION Bilal Philips said in his previous reply,
Many readers may not notice the deception of Bilal Philips here and how he has cleverly constructed his words above to apply the words of Imam al-Albaani in a context and manner which is falsehood. First he says that the books of Mohammad Qutb, Islam the Misunderstood Religion is good for political people. WRONG!! The books of Mohammad Qutb are the LAST BOOKS to be given to anyone coming from politics, because he will be led to the madhhab of the Khawaarij, which is what the Qutubi da?wah is all about. He will read one book, and then go to his other books and then go the books of Sayyid Qutb and so on. Anyhow, he then says ?the attitude of rejecting everything from a ?scholar? due to some errors is extreme and rejected?? then this is deception that is under way by Bilal here. This only applies to those who are real and true scholars not the ignoramous heads of innovation like Qutb and Mawdudi who were upon the thought of the Raafidah, and who were ignorant of Islaam. Bilal Philips has made this statement here, which needs clarification, but he left it vague and general so that he can then build upon it, his actual goal and objective. He then says,
So now, he enters the idea of Shaykh Al-Albaanee?s rejection of those who reject the scholars like Ibn Hajar and an-Nawawee. We do not reject these two great scholars as they are true scholars, whom Allaah blessed with true knowledge, and who were overwhelmingly free from innovation, and were not known to have deviation. However they erred in certain areas due to certain factors, but they are to be excused for that. Anyhow, Bilal has sought to deceive the reader into thinking that Mawdudi, Qutb and other deviants, are just like Nawawi and Ibn Hajar, and thus their ?good? can be taken, and that their mistakes should be overlooked. And all of this is deception on behalf of Bilal Philips and playing and toying with the reader?s mind and making generalizations and equivocations that are false ? all in order to build concepts in the mind of the audience, which can then be moulded and shaped to justify or at least play down his own ta?aawun (co-operation) and promotion of the people of hizbiyyah. In fact the statement of Bilal Philips stated in his last reply (December 2001):
Then this is hardly believable, given what has preceded. Then why recommend their books? And why go to great lengths in seeking out fatwas from Imaam al-Albaanee, giving the impression that Qutb and Mawdudi are just like an-Nawawi and Ibn Hajar and that they should be given the same treatment?

AbuKhadeejahSP | -- 07-11-2002 @ 12:00 AM | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
THE ERRORS IN MANHAJ OF BILAL PHILIPS I would like to draw Bilal Philips' attention to the fact that he has fallen into the following: 1) Lavish praises of the people of bid?ah and dalaalah 2) Calls to innovated affairs (such as incitements to rebellion and revolution) 3) Promotion of the books of Ahlul-Bid?ah (which are written by innovators and contain within them innovation that will lead the people astray) 4) Co-operating with the people of hizbiyyah and vain desires, those who curse the Salafi scholars and accuse them with evil and of innovation 5) His promotion of false understandings of certain affairs of manhaj (like hajr) 6) False comparisons between the Imaams of Bid?ah and Dalaalah and the Imaams of Sunnah and Salafiyyah 7) His erroneous implementations, in statements and actions, of the affairs of the Salafi manhaj. All of this is something that has appeared in the open from Bilal Philips, either written, or spoken or in the form of publications. Now in light of this, it is obligatory for the Muslims to speak about this, in order to reduce the potential harm that may be caused by these open errors. THE CLAIM OF NOT BEING ADVISED, AND BILAL?S FLEEING FROM SEEKING THE GUIDANCE OF THE TRUE SCHOLARS Additionally, we dispute the claim of brother Bilal Philips that he was not corrected nor advised - And if one analyses the reply of Bilal, he will recognize this. Amongst those who advised him include a group brothers from the University of Madinah, amongst them our brother Abu Hakeem from Birmingham. Even if Bilal Philips claims the advice was unclear, then why did he not sit with the scholars of Madinah (since he was there anyway) to seek clarity upon Muntadah Al-Islaamee? Why did he not ask the scholars for clarity upon hajr (abandonment) of the ahlul-bid?ah? Why did he not sit with the Imaam of jarh wa ta?deel Shaykh Rabee ibn Haadee? Why did he not sit with Shaykh Muhammad ibn Haadee, Shaykh ?Ubayd al-Jaabiree and the rest of the mashaykh? Bilal Philips admits in his response his unclarity, so why not seek clarity from the scholars that you claim to love? Why suffice with some students from the University, when you were only a doorstep away from those who know the misguidance of al-Muntada and Suroor and the other partisans, the most? In reality, we perceive that Bilal Philips actually has a problem with these scholars, and he dislikes (or disliked) them. Indeed, his involvement with the Qutubiyyah, like Safar al-Hawali and other individuals whose orientation is the same, has perhaps led him to come out with the same rhetoric against the Salafis that many of the hizbiyyoon have brought. Those hizbiyyoon who call our scholars ?Jaamiyyoon? (Jaamees) and ?Madkhaliyyoon? (Madkhalis) and who mock what these scholars brought of the revival of al-jarh wat-ta?deel, after the Innovators, (those whom Bilal praises in his books, like Hasan al-Banna) destroyed this principle - all in order to allow the co-operation between the innovators, the biased partisans. This is what we perceive from Bilal, that he has a fundamental problem with those whom Imaam al-Albaani praised for their efforts in al-Jarh wat-Ta?deel, and if not, then let Bilal express his viewpoints on the following: his position on Shaykh Rabee?s refutations of Mohammad and Sayyid Qutb, his position on Shaykh Rabee al-Madkhalee?s, Shaykh Muhammad al-Madkhalees refutation of the Qutubiyyah such as Safar al-Hawali and Salman al-Awdah and others like Nasir al-Umar and al-Qarnee. Shaykh Muqbil?s refutations of the Qutubiyyah, of al-Muntadah and all the other hizbees of the current times. Let Bilal explain to us, sincerely, and truthfully, his position towards these scholars (the ?Madkhalees?), because in reality, as I have indicated earlier, when Bilal attacks the Salafis in the West, he is in reality attacking the scholars that the Salafis actually follow, and he is attacking the manhaj of these scholars. Our brother Abu Junayd Yusuf (from Madinah) narrates to us from Abu Hakeem Bilaal Davies, who said, that Sulaymaan al-Kanadie said to him, after having spoken to Bilal Philips on the phone, ?Bilal Philips told me ?to beware of the Madkhalis in Madinah!??. This was about 2 years ago. But this narration has come from these two brothers, who state that this was definitely stated by Sulaymaan al-Kanadie. So we ask Bilal Philips for confirmation or corroboration. Is there any truth to this narration? Please tell us if there is or if there is not, and this is from the angle of making confirmation, as we have been ordered. Have you made the likes of this statement, either to the Sulaymaan under question or other than him, either in wording or in meaning? Since the two narrators, Abu Hakeem and Abu Junayd, are both reliable and trustworthy (may Allaah preserve). So is Bilal Philips hiding something more than what he has already made apparent? We would really like to know and we only wish he would leave aside this patronizing attitude, his diverting away from the real issues, his gross exaggerations and untruths, all aimed at focusing the attention of the audience away from the real issues.

ERRORS THAT ARE PROPAGATED IN PUBLIC ARE TO BE EXPLAINED AND CORRECTED IN PUBLIC Coming back to what has emerged from Bilal Philips of open errors, then in light of the above, the quote from Shaykh ul-Islaam below highlights some of the principles of the Salafi manhaj in the issue of openly correcting or warning from those who promote or call to innovation or who manifest some sort of evil or opposition which may have a detrimental effect upon the Muslims. By quoting this, I do not intend tabdee? of Bilal or to make examples between him and those alluded to in the answer, but only to extract the principles, that the people of knowledge themselves have extracted from it. I mean to extract the principles that warning from something that has occurred from an individual, of the promotion of erroneous affairs, in public, is something that is required by the Sharee?ah and is a means of lessening the preponderance of evil, and there are many statements in this regard, but this will suffice. Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taimiyyah (rahimahullaah) said:
Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taimiyyah (rahimullaah) said in his tafseer of Allaah?s statement:
So here we see from Shaykhul-Islaam the great importance of censuring error that opposes the noble religion, ?Thus if it is done publicly, then its recompense must be done in public, as well, in accordance with conceivable justice. For this reason, it is not considered backbiting to talk about one who openly publicizes his innovations and wickedness, as has been reported on Al-Hasan Al-Basree and others.? So take note Oh brother Bilal. A GREAT LESSON FROM THE ANTICS OF ABDUR-RAHMAAN ABDUL-KHAALIQ The perceptive reader, the one who has followed what has happened within Ahl us-Sunnah, of turmoil and confusion, due to the bid?ahs of Abdur-Rahman Abdul-Khaliq and others and who followed up the sad state of affairs of Abdur-Rahman Abdul-Khaliq, will see that this behaviour of Bilal Philips, in the face of the youth who corrected him and advised him in two or three matters, is not too dissimilar to Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul-Khaaliq himself, when he was corrected for two or three matters by a student of knowledge. In return, Abdur-Rahman Abdul-Khaaliq poured his wrath and anger upon those who did not agree with false understandings of hajr, and ta?aawun with the Innovators. In reality, he was attacking the manhaj of Shaykh Rabee? bin Haadee and Shaykh Muqbil bin Haadee and the Madinan Shaykhs who exposed and refuted the deceit and deviation of the neo-Bannaawiyyah and the neo-Qutubiyyah. We see that this is the same that Bilal Philips is doing, he cannot humbly admit his mistakes, correct them and clarify them, and instead has chosen this disastrous path of writing compositions of irrelevance, deceit, misdirection, confusion ? all to divert away from the two or three issues for which he was originally advised. Allaahul-Musta?aan. Additionally, he raises the Innovators (and to this day we have not seen any recantations from him on this issue), promotes their books, and always seems to be with the groups and organisations who are upon the thought of these people. We advise those who sincerely want to know the truth, let them read these two books, ?Jamaa?ah Waahidah Laa Jamaa?aat? of Shaykh Rabee? and also ?Nasr ul-Azeez ?Alaa ar-Radd al-Wajeez? also of Shaykh Rabee? in which refutes the lies and slanders and demonisations of Abdur-Rahman Abdul-Khaliq of the Salafis.

ADVICE TO BILAL PHILIPS 1. Repent from your errors and make yourself clear and apparent to the people, as is required from someone who has fallen into what you have fallen into of false understandings and errors. 2. Recant from your lies and exaggerations and your use of talbees in your reply, in order hide the real issues from the people, and in order to demonise the Salafis who advised you and corrected you. Be with them and not against them. 3. Go and sit with the Kibar Ulama, the scholars who are upon the correct aqeedah and manhaj, and who have refuted hizbiyyah. Sit with Shaykh Rabee?, Shaykh Fawzaan, Shaykh Ahmad an-Najmee, Shaykh Ubayd al-Jaabiree and others from the scholars of this manhaj. Sit with them and study the books of the Salaf with them. 4. Read the books of these Kibaar and understand the Salafi manhaj and Salafiyyah from them. 5. Read ?Al-Ajwibah al-Mufeedah? of Shaykh Salih al-Fawzaan, ?Manhaj Ahl us-Sunnah fi an-Naqd ir-Rijaal wal-Kutub wat-Tawaa?if? of Shaykh Rabee. Read ?Jamaa?ah Waahidah Laa Jama?aat ? Siraat Waahid Laa Asharaat? (One Jama?ah, Not Many ? One Path Not Tens Of Them!) Of Shaykh Rabee Ibn Haadee. 6. Listens to the cassettes of Imaam al-Albaani on the issue of Intisaab (ascription) to and Tasmiyah (naming) of Salaf and Salafiyyah. Listen to the tapes of Imaam al-Albaani in his responses to the Qutubiyyah of today, the likes of Safar and Salmaan. 7. Read the two volume work of Shaykh Ibraaheem ar-Ruhailee on the position of Ahl us-Sunnah towards the Ahl ul-Bid?ah, which is recommended by the Salafi scholars to the students of knowledge, as a comprehensive treatment of the subject. 8. Read the refutations of the major scholars of Sayyid Qutb, and also the refutations by them of Mohammad Qutb. And May Allaah guide you to sincerity and truthfulness in your all your affairs. And all praise is due to Allaah, Lord of the worlds.

بسم الله الحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله أما بعد Bilal's Claim
We ask Bilal Philips politely in which field is he a scholar that Abu Khadeejah is discrediting him from? Is he a Scholar of Hadeeth? [By Authoring a book on Usool al-Hadeeth] Is he a Scholar of Fiqh? [By Authoring Evolution of Fiqh] Is he a Scholar of Tafseer? [By Authoring a book on Usool at-Tafseer] Is he a Scholar in the field of Aqeedah? [By Authoring The Fundamentals of Tawheed] Listen to the attached audio file - Bilal Philips had a session of Video recording which lasted for an hour or more in Bangalore in November 2002 with fanatic followers of Zakir Naik who consider Bilal Philips as a GREAT SCHOLAR!!! like Mr. Naik!!! In Contrast look at the humility of Shaykh Salih al-Fawzaan(hafidhahullah) when he was addressed as a SCHOLAR!!! http://salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=6&Topic=5574 This message was edited by abdul.azeem on 9-4-06 @ 8:01 AM

بسم الله الحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله أما بعد DEVIL'S DECEPTION OF BILAL PHILIPS - II NEGATING THE EXISTENCE OF GROUPS OF INNOVATION, DEVIATION AND MISGUIDANCE, AND DISLIKING THE DIFFERENTIATION OF SALAFIYYAH And I explained that at length that this is a concept that is being promoted by orientalists and others to create this delusion in our minds that they are different kinds of Islaam, but the fact of the matter is that what was revealed to Adam, ?alayhi salatu wasalam, through all the Prophets to Muhammad, salla Allaahu alyhi wasalam, that is Islaam and there is just one Islaam, nothing else and we are Muslims ?And I myself, I don?t like these other titles of you know - Ikhwani or Salafee and all .. people calling themselves labelling themselves in such a way as to create divisions among Muslims, we are Muslims first & last Alhamdulilah.? [Refer Abu Khadeejah's Post Above] The questioner from Bangalore asks Bilal Philips of the statement above - Bilal Confirms this!!! However Abu Ameenah reasons why he did not like the labels - BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT TO APPEAR AS A FACTIONALIST to the people - Sub'hanAllaah! This same concept was taken by Zakir Naik (his close friend - displaying each other's photographs on the websites of one another respectively) who went further to claim Salafees are Sects!!! Refer:- http://www.salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=9&Topic=2538 Bilal's Response -
So Bilal Philips deserted so many of the Salaf who took this position? So many of the books of the Scholars in several generations? DID HE ALSO THINK THAT THE SALAF BY NAMING THEMSELVES AHL-US-SUNNAH OR SALAFEE WERE FACTIONALISTS? I hope Bilal Philips realizes what level of harm he has caused by making such irresponsible statements for which he has got no precedence. Must be shameful to give such reasons in order to cover up in this dunya!! And by Allaah I have waited for nearly 4 years now before I put this finally out on the Internet. And Allaahu A`alam.

If Troid was attacking the Quraan and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) then what was Bilal Philips doing with ALL THE SCHOLARSHIP BEHIND HIM? WHY DID HE NOT RESPOND TO TROID? However! If he has some deceptive meaning which he knew the people in Bangalore are not aware of then he needs to fear Allaah and be clear when he accuses someone especially in the matters relating to the deen of Allaah!
