The Scholar of Madīnah, al-‘Allāmah ‘Ubayd al-Jābirī Warns Against the Insanity and Recklessness of Usāmah al-‘Utaybī

 

The ‘Allāmah al-Shaykh ‘Ubayd ibn Abdullāh al-Jābirī stated:

This man, Usāmah ibn ‘Aṭāyah al-Falastinī, who nicknamed himself al-‘Utaybī, and Allāh knows best, but I have nothing to do with his lineage. However I say, his affair has reached the level of insanity (al-Junūn), recklessness and rashness, and I advise the people of Libya not to be deceived by him; not the common folk nor the educated ones.

Shaykh Abdullah al-Bukhari on Muhammad Ibn Muneer’s Statement: This Scholar Doesn’t Care About You

Statement of Muhammad Ibn Muneer “Mufti”:

Statement of Shaykh Abdullah Ibn Abdur-Raheem al-Bukhari:

[Q]: This questioner says: There is an American graduate from the Islamic University who claims that the Scholars do not give importance and they do not pay attention to the problems of the Muslims in other lands.  He says that these problems, due to which the Muslims have become distressed, do not prevent the Scholars from drinking tea and eating dates, and these problems do not disturb their rest and sleep.  So they are not overly concerned with these issues.  What is your view on this statement?  The questioner says: What is your view on this statement?

Shaykh ’Ubayd Ibn ’Abdullaah al-Jaabiree Clarifies Two Doubts Used to Defend Innovators

Shaykh 'Ubayd's Explanation of Usoolus-Sunnah of Imaam al-Humaydee
Shaykh ‘Ubayd’s Explanation of Usoolus-Sunnah of Imaam al-Humaydee

[Q]: When speaking about some of the deviants, we hear a couple of expressions from some individuals.  They are:

Firstly: Allaah will not ask you about them in your grave.

Secondly: He says, “The truth can be accepted, even from Shaytaan.”  And he uses the hadeeth of Abee Hurayrah (radiyallaahu ’anhu) as evidence.

[A]: Firstly: The Salafus-Saalih proceeded upon the way of warning against the innovators, rejecting them harshly and being stern with them publicly and privately up until the Ummah has been cautioned against them, because the intended purpose is to purify and purge the Religion for Allaah the Glorified and Exalted, yet he says: Allaah will not ask you about them in your grave!

The Path to Salvation and Holding Fast to the Straight Path – Al-’Allaamah Rabee’ Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee

The Quintessential Gathered Advices and Instructions of ash-Shaykh Rabee’ to the Youth

So Allaah the Blessed and Exalted sent Muhammad (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) with the guidance and the truth and the Religion of truth in order to make it manifest over all other Religions, though the polytheists may detest it.

And this Ummah has been commanded to obey this Messenger and to follow him and to hold onto whatever he came with from knowledge and guidance.  So when we say to the people, ‘Strive upon the Salafee manhaj,’ then we are enjoining upon them to hold onto the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) and whatever the Companions (radiyallaahu ’anhum) of the Messenger of Allaah were upon.

Prophetic Guidelines for Protection And Safety from Trials and Misguidance – al-’Allaamah Rabee’ Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee

lubaabbookIndeed, I advise myself and you with the taqwaa [1] of Allaah and ikhlaas (sincerity) [2] to Him and steadfastness upon the truth and holding fast to the Book and the Sunnah and that which the Salafus-Saalih were upon in terms of beliefs, acts of worship, manhaj (methodology) and moral character. I counsel you with these matters and advise that you give them the utmost importance.  You must direct your attention to them and form the mutual bonds of brotherhood amongst yourselves and you must inculcate mutual love amongst yourselves.  You must utilize the causes the mutual love, affection and unity and you must distance yourselves from stirring up trials and dilemmas.  And you must distance yourselves from the causes of disagreement amongst yourselves.  So such causes are many, so avoid them.

Concerning the Doubt that the Origin of Muslims is Integrity, Sunnah and Salafiyyah

Shaykh ’Abdul-Muhsin Ibn Hamad al-’Abbaad Clarifies the Origin of the Muslim is Ignorance:

[Q]: Allaah the Glorified and Exalted says,

O you who believe! If a rebellious evil person comes to you with a news, verify it.” [Sooratul-Hujuraat 49:6]

Is the report accepted when it comes from other than a rebellious evil person (faasiq), knowing that the origin concerning the Muslim is integrity (’adaalah)? Continue reading “Concerning the Doubt that the Origin of Muslims is Integrity, Sunnah and Salafiyyah”

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan: Being Silent About the People of Innovation and not Clarifying their Falsehood is from the Greatest Forms of Deceiving the Muslims

The ’Allaamah, the Shaykh, Saalih Ibn Fawzaan al-Fawzaan may Allaah preserve him was asked the following question:

“Is not refuting the people of innovation and concealing their falsehood and defending them from deceiving the Muslims?”

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan replied,

“This is from major deception of the Muslims, being silent about the people of innovation (bid’ah) and not clarifying their bid’ah, this is from deceiving the Muslims and if in addition to that he praised them (the innovators) than this is worse and more evil… and refuge is sought with Allaah.

So what is obligatory upon those who have knowledge is to make clear the innovations and newly invented matters (in the religion) and to prohibit them and warn against these innovations and to not be silent because indeed silence is from concealing (knowledge) (Allaah says:)

Verily, those who conceal the clear proofs, evidences and guidance, which We have sent down, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book, they are the ones cursed by Allaah and cursed by the cursers. Except those who repent and do righteous deeds, and openly declare (the truth which they concealed). These are the ones who I will accept their repentance. And I am the One Who accepts repentance, and the Most Merciful.” [Sooratul-Baqarah 2:159-160]

It is not permissible for the Muslim that has knowledge to be silent about bid’ah and oppositions (in the religion) and he is to make them clear to the people because if he was silent, the people will use (his silence) as proof, and they will say if this was unlawful or prohibited, the scholar so and so would of not been silent about it and he sees it (innovation, opposition).

From Shaykh Muqbil Ibn Haadee’s Advice to the Salafis of America: Beware of Racism!

Imaam Muqbil Ibn Haadee al-Waadi’ee (rahimahullaah) said,

Beware of the propaganda that is [designed] to sow [the seeds of] dissension between whites and blacks…You are a Muslim and your brother is a Muslim, regardless of whether he is white or black.”

I remember sitting in front of our Shaykh, the Imaam Muqbil Ibn Haadee al-Wādi’ee (rahimahullaah) when he articulated this heartfelt advice to the brothers and sisters in America. It was relevant then and it is even more significant now, at a time when individuals who claim to be from Ahlus-Sunnah are retweeting Louis Farrakhan, uniting on racial lines whilst overlooking creedal issues and using similar rhetoric to that of the NOI and other racists.
