We thank our brother Anwar Wright and Sunnah Publishing for the above article and their support and defence of the manhaj of the contemporary Salafi Scholars, jazaahumullaahu khayran. One thing that must be highlighted and which is from the great benefits contained in the article is the following statement of Shaykh Muhammad bin Haadee (hafidhahullaah):![](image.gif) | quote: |
So these people sell their hereafter for their present, so the affair of sincerity dear brothers is something great. And sincerity (ikhlaas) is that a person does not intend by his actions except the face of Allah the Mighty and Majestic, and the Hereafter. So he walks straight upon the truth and upon guidance and he does not let anything turn him away from it. This is the true thabaat (being firm upon the truth)... Although many of the people who cause corruption today, the majority of them are hidden, even if they ascribe to the Sunnah, they are criticized, even if they ascribe to the Sunnah. Rather we do not see them speaking harshly except against Ahl as-Sunnah, and on the opposite, they make excuses for the people of desires and they defend them and they justify their falsehood! Sometimes they even say that they [the people of falsehood] are Salafis and other times they say: "We can not take them out of Salafiyyah" and the likes of these statements. So they open their chest to the likes of these individuals, however the Salafis are not safe from their tongues. So these individuals, their danger is greater upon the Salafis than the people of desires and innovation so be warned from them O my sons and brothers. Be warned from them at all costs! So if you see those from whom the likes of this statement comes and he does not open his chest to the people of the sunnah and does not make excuses for them however opens his chest for those who are criticized, and seeks to makes excuses for them then he by Allah is a liar!!! Even if his status and rank reaches the reigns of the heavens! |

The point made by Shaykh Muhammad (that which has been bolded above) is the very thing that has been repeatedly pointed out by "the Salafis" in the West when they repeatedly saw from certain people this very behaviour Shaykh Muhammad has pointed out, that we find individuals who will show the sternest, harshest of behavior towards their Salafi brothers, by openly refuting them, and demanding that ties be severed with them whilst at the same time promoting and defending open callers to misguidance - showing them the "Rifq" (leniency and gentleness) that Ahlus-Sunnah, the Salafiyyoon are deserving of! We also stated in one of the footnotes to Part 1 above (download here) the following:![](image.gif) | quote: |
Regarding this term, "the Salafis", despite all of the propaganda by Madeenah.Com, "the Salafis" walhamdulillaah are not a handful of people in one city in the West, rather "the Salafis" are a very large number of people who are united upon a single way, who honour and respect the Salafi manhaj, and who are behind the Scholars who uphold that manhaj - in particular those Scholars who are at the forefront of clarifying the methodologies of the Salaf as a result of which we have a da'wah that is upon clarity, whose adherents love each other for the sake of Allaah, and amongst whom there is mutual love and cooperation and they are found walhamdulillaah in all corners of the globe. Unfortunately, this type of clarity is not to the liking of Tahir Wyatt, Muhammad Akhtar Chaudhary and their likes, who quite often display greater closeness towards the callers to misguidance and their followers than those who (even if they may have shortcomings, as no one is free of them) are upon the Salafi manhaj, loving it, venerating it, calling to it, defending it and honouring it and its Scholars. This is the legacy of al-Ma'ribee no doubt. For this reason, when you see that Shaykh Muhammad bin Haadee, after the period in which these individuals were playing their games, he said what he said in commendation of Salafi Publications, then this really grieved Tahir Wyatt, Muhammad Akhtar Chaudhury and Nadir Ahmad, and out of hypocrisy in action, we see them today continuing to treat Salafi Publications as those who must be warned against at every expense and continuing to play games and using deception in order to confuse people in the West who do not really know the full details of what has been transpiring behind the scenes over the years. |
|
It looks like these "Madeenah Students" (yet again) fail to grasp and understand the usool of the Salafi manhaj and start criticising "the Salafis" because they have been pointing out and warning against a type of deviation which is the very type of deviation that the Scholars themselves have pointed out and warned against and which is the very deviation whose characteristics these "students" are displaying fairly openly in the West but showing a different face to the Scholars in their midst in Madeenah! Make no mistake, O reader, their "enmity" towards Salafi Publications and other brothers in the various parts of the West (Europe, UK and the US) is solely on the basis that they dislike the clarity which is being disseminated. It is NOT due to any deviations we have in the usool or the 'aqeedah - rather it is due to the fact that they are upon a particular orientation that accommodates the people of misguidance, shows lenience and support to them and allows for the infiltration of the political methodologies of the hizbiyyeen into the Salafi ranks.

A Word About Tahir Wyatt's Translation of an Article Deceptively Titled, "Monopolizing Salafiyyah"
Truly, all praise is due to Allaah. May His peace and blessing be upon the last Messenger Muhammad, his Family and his Companions. As for what follows. It seems, wallaahul musta'aan (and Allaah is the One from whom aid is sought), once more, history has repeated itself. In February of 2007CE, Madeenah(dot)com, or more specifically Aboo 'Abdur-Razzaaq Taahir Wyatt, from the members and contributors to Madeenah(dot)com, published the translations of some of our noble and beloved Scholars regarding the tremendously important subject matter of participating in democratic elections. The questions that led to these fataawaa were indeed general and broad. They did not mention the specific conditions of any one community, or the intricacies that should undoubtedly be included in an affair that can so easily be misunderstood by the masses. Coincidentally, the publication of these verdicts were surprisingly close to the timing of Taahir Wyatt's attempt at entering some of the masaajid into the affairs of American democracy and assisting the former administration of Germantown Masjid in drawing close to the local politicians of the city; and if Allaah wills, we will address this issue in detail in the coming articles. It would seem, that Taahir Wyatt is inclined to present vague and incomprehensive fataawaa at times that suit him and his agenda. Yet once again, at a time when his companion, Abu Zubayr Shadeed Muhammad has been refuted by the likes of al-'Allaamah Rabee' Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee, al-'Allaamah 'Ubayd Ibn 'Abdullaah al-Jaabiree, al-'Allaamah Muhammad Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee and Shaykh Falaah Ibn Ismaa'eel, and this speech has been spread by the hands of our brothers all over the west, has Taahir Wyatt deemed it suitable to publish a translation of a fatwaa by al-'Allaamah Saalih Ibn Fawzaan al-Fawzaan titled by Taahir,[1] "Monopolizing Salafiyyah." As for what exactly is the intention of Taahir Wyatt, then that is between him and Allaah, but from what is apparent is that it is uncomfortably close to Shadeed Muhammad being labeled as "misguided, misguiding others" by Shaykh 'Ubayd al-Jaabiree and Shaykh Rabee's statement that Shadeed's sayings "are nothing but the wide, expansive methodology of Abul-Hasan al-Ma`ribee." As for the speech of our father, Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, may Allaah preserve him, then it is clear, and we also understand it in context with the abundance of other fataawaa from the Shaykh, some of which have been translated here to provide our brothers and sisters with a more comprehensive understanding of this affair. Abu Hafsah Kashiff Khan The Response of Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan to al-'Areefee's Article, "The Description Salafee, Tableeghee and Ikhwaanee is not from Islaam" His eminence, Dr. Saalih bin Fawzaan al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah), member of the Committee of Major Scholars has criticized what has been printed in the newspaper 'Ukaadh from the caller to Allaah, Shaykh Muhammad al-'Areefee. The criticism of Dr. Saalih al-Fawzaan was concerning the first installment of the series that was titled, "The Description Salafee, Tableeghee and Ikhwaanee is not from Islaam." Said ash-Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, "So indeed, I read in the newspaper 'Ukaadh published on Sunday 28/4/1426H (corresponding to June 5, 2005CE), issue (no. 14162), an evil title for a gathering that took place with some noble Scholars, and this was the text of it "The Description Salafee, Tableeghee, and Ikhwaanee is not from Islaam," and I was amazed at how the author of this title included as-Salafiyyah as being not from Islaam, and the meaning of it (i.e. Salafiyyah) is following the methodology of the Righteous Predecessors from the Companions, and their students, and the honourable generations. And Allaah the Most High says,

| And the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, "Indeed, this Ummah will divide into seventy three sects, each of them in the Fire save one." They said, "And who is that (saved one)?" He said, "Those upon what I am upon today and my Companions."[2] And he (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, "Mandatory upon you is my Sunnah and the Sunnah of my Rightly Guided Caliphs."[3] Therefore, Salafiyyah is that true methodology that is obligatory for us to follow, and we should abandon what opposes it from different methodologies and its adherents. They (as-Salafiyyeen) are the Saved Sect. They are Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah and the Victorious Group until the last day. May Allaah make us from them. Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan on Clarifying the Danger of Hizbiyyah to the Youth and Common Folk His eminence, Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, was also asked, "Is it permissible for the people of knowledge to clarify to the youth and common folk the danger of hizbiyyah (bigoted partisanship) and schisms?" He answered, "Yes, it is obligatory to clarify the danger of partisanship and the danger of dividing and separating so the people can be upon clarity, because nowadays the common folk are deceived by some of the sects, thinking that they are upon the truth. So it is a must to clarify to the students of knowledge and the laymen the dangers of the groups and parties, because if they (the people of knowledge) remain silent, the common people will say, 'the Scholars knew about these things and said nothing,' and therefore they would be misguided. So it is a must to make clarification when the likes of these matters occur. And the danger facing the common folk is greater than the danger facing the student of knowledge, because if the Scholars remain silent, the layperson will believe that this thing is correct and from the truth."[4] Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan on the "Jamaa'aat" He was also asked, "What is your opinion concerning the jamaa'aat as a general ruling?" He answered, "Everyone who opposes the jamaa'ah of Ahlus-Sunnah, then he is astray. There is no jamaa'ah according to us, except one: it is Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah.[5] Whatever opposes this Jamaa'ah, then it is in opposition to the manhaj of the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam). We also say, everyone that opposes Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah, then he is from the people of desires. And elements of opposition vary in ruling of them being misguided or outside of Islaam with relation to how large, small, far or near they are from the truth."[6] "Don't Refute the People of Falsehood" is the Call to Separation and Division He was also asked, "Many people say that those who refute the people of innovation are the cause of separation." Shaykh al-Fawzan answered, "Yes, separation between the truth and the falsehood; this is correct. We make a distinction between truth and the falsehood and (also between) the people of truth and the people of falsehood. We are going to refute (the people of falsehood), and the Scholars refuted (the people of falsehood). This is not for the purpose of causing division; this is to gather the people upon the truth, because with people remaining upon misguidance and upon the speech of falsehood, then this causes division between the Muslims. As for clarifying the truth for the people, so they can gather upon it, then this is the da'wah towards unity, not the da'wah towards separation. The da'wah towards separation is when it is said, 'The people of falsehood are not to be refuted.' This is the da'wah to division if they only gave thought."[7] More on the "Jamaa'aat" [Q]: We hear about what are called Islaamic Jamaa'aat in this age in the various parts of the world. So what is the basis of this term? Is it permissible to go along with then and assist them if they do not have an innovation? [A]: The Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) informed and explained to how we must interact. He did not leave anything that brings his Ummah closer to Allaah, except that he explained it to them. And he (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) leave anything that takes his Ummah farther away from Allaah, except that he clarified to them, and from that is this issue. The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, "So whosoever from amongst you lives long, then he shall see much differing." However, what is the treatment for these new occurrences? He (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) continued, "So hold firmly to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs after me. Hold onto it with your molar teeth, and beware of newly invented affairs. Indeed, every newly invented affair is an innovation and every innovation is in the Fire."[8] So who from amongst these jamaa'aat[9] is upon the guidance of the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and the Companions, especially upon the guidance of the of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs and the virtuous generations? So which jamaa'ah is upon this manhaj (methodology) so that we may be with this jamaa'ah, ascribe ourselves to it and work with it? So whatever opposes that guidance of the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam), then we must avoid it, even if it is called an 'Islaamic Jamaa'ah.' A term is not defined by names, it is defined by its realities. The names could be magnificent, but the thing itself could be futile, not consisting of anything, or being false. The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, "The Jews split up into seventy one sects, and the Christians split up into seventy two sects. And my Ummah shall split up into seventy three sects, all of them being in the Fire except one." We said, 'Which one is that, O Messenger of Allaah?' He said, "The one that follows what I am upon and my Companions."[10] The path is clear, we must join the jamaa'ah which possesses this sign; whoever is upon the likes of what the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and his Companions were upon. So they are the true Islaamic Jamaa'ah. As for whoever opposes this manhaj (methodology), and traverses upon another manhaj, then he is not from us and we are not from him. We do not attach ourselves to him, nor can he attach himself to us; and that is not to be called a jamaa'ah. It is only to be called a sect from the astray sects, because the Jamaa'ah cannot be anything except the truth. So it is that which the people have united upon. As for the falsehood, then it divides and it does not unite. Allaah the Exalted said,

| [11] COMMENTS: As the audience can surely decipher, these fataawaa are readily available, not only in Arabic but also in the English language. Not only do they explain the reality of Salafiyyah, but also who are the Salafees, the characteristics of the opposition, and the mannerisms utilized whilst dealing with them. Is it that Taahir Wyatt and Madeenah(dot)com do not know where to find these fataawaa, or do they simply choose to publish what will suit there personal ambitions of labeling the Salafees in the west as extreme and excessive. Surely these fataawaa are just as readily available as those that they choose to promote. Endnotes: [1]: This brings to mind the question of where the translator, Taahir Wyatt, came up with title for this translation. For indeed we have seen some of the sites of hizbiyyah, most specifically those affiliated with Abul-Hasan al-Ma`ribee titling the verdict as تضييق السلفية (Restricting Salafiyyah). While Taahir's title carries the same meaning احتكار السلفية (Monopolizing Salafiyyah). At the same time, if the reader looks at the very same fatwaa on the Shaykh al-Fawzaan's website - or other Salafee websites, you will not find such a title, rather, on the Shaykh's page you will find it in the section فرقة السلفية (Sect of Salafiyyah) without any title whatsoever. So if the Shaykh himself did not title it in this way, and we cannot find it titled in this way on the other Salafee websites, then this leads to either one of two possibilities: [1]: Taahir took the likes of this titling from a hizbee website or [2]: He subconsciously came up with a title very similar to that the followers of al-Ma`ribee, and the sweetest of the two is bitter. Additionally, Taahir's title was read to some of the Scholars who were surprised at his choice of wording. [2]: Saheeh: Related by at-Tirmidhee (no. 2641), al-Haakim (1/129) and Ibn Maajah (no. 3992). It was authenticated by al-Albaanee in Silsilatus-Saheehah (1/358). [3]: Saheeh: Related by Aboo Daawood (no. 4607), at-Tirmidhee (no. 2676) and Ibn Maajah (no. 34). It was authenticated by al-Albaanee in al-Irwaa`ul-Ghaleel (no. 2455). [4]: Refer to Dhaahirut-Tabdeeý (p. 50) of Saalih al-Fawzaan. [5]: Jamaal Ibn Fuhrayhaan al-Haarithee adds, "So they are the Taa`ifatul-Mansoorah (the Victorious Group), the Firqatun-Naajiyah (Saved-Sect), Ahlul-Hadeeth, Ahlul-'Ilm (people of knowledge). From them, upon the likes of their way, are the Four Imaams for whom Imaamate has been testified to, and others who were in their generation. Then there are those who followed them traversing their methodology, even if he came long after their era. As for referring to these sects that oppose the one Jamaa'ah of the Muslims as jamaa'aat, then that is not correct as I have mentioned previously. Rather, it is to be said about them: sects (firaq) and parties (ahzaab)." [6]: Refer to al-Ajwibatul-Mufeedah (p. 10) of Saalih al-Fawzaan, with the annotations of Jamaal al-Haarithee. [7]: Taken from the recorded lessons of Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan in explanation of Sharhus-Sunnah of Imaam al-Barbahaaree (d.329H). [8]: Saheeh: Related by Aboo Daawood (no. 4607), at-Tirmidhee (no. 2676), Ibn Maajah (no. 34). It was authenticated by al-Albaanee in Irwaa`ul-Ghaleel (no. 2400). [9]: Jamaal Ibn Furayhaan al-Haarithee comments, "It is better to label very group that opposes the Book and the Sunnah upon the methodology of the Salafus-Saalih as sects. This is the Sharee'ah term for them, as the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) labeled them in the following hadeeth of sects. As for the jamaa'aat, then there are none, except the Jamaa'ah of the Muslims, as is pointed out in the hadeeth of sects, and Allaah knows best." [10]: Saheeh: Related by at-Tirmidhee (no. 2641), al-Haakim (1/129) and Ibn Maajah (no. 3992). It was authenticated by al-Albaanee in Silsilatus-Saheehah (1/358).
