As for some of his Suhbah(Associates) and Ulfah(Intimates), then one of them is the Takfeeree, Muhammad Abdul Maqsood.
Supreme Tawfeeq (as Aboo Muslimah used to call himself while in his first two years of al-Madeenah and even used to receive mail in that name) was warned of him by someone who knows Abdul Maqsood very well. This warning occured at a camp that was held in Canada in 1998.
Even though Abdul Maqsood's case was explained to him in detail, that is, his deviance and the fact that he was a takfeeree and that he should not be invited to their masjid there in East Orange, he still not only allowed him to come and lecture but also sold his tapes in their bookstore! To add insult to injury Aboo Muslimah lied to Shaikhs Rabee and Muqbil when one (or the both of them) asked him had he invited him there he said:
"We did not invite him but rather he was visiting a Masjid in the area and just stopped by!"
Since then he -Abdul Maqsood- has been there at least five or six more times, and whether they invited him or
not, he was allowed to speak!
In addition to this and inspite of Muhammad Abdul Maqsood's clear deviance in terms of his takfeer of the rulers , belittlement of Shaikh Muhammad Naasiruddeen Al-Albaanee and his attribution of Irjaa to the Shaikh, they sell his tapes from their website and also call him 'our Shaikh'!
This can be heard also on the tape 'Who?s making Fitnah in East Orange?' recorded at the Masjid there in East Orange!
This is in spite of the fact that he (Aboo Muslimah claimed to have studied 'Explanation of the Creed' by Imaam al-Barbahaaree, from cover to cover while in al-Madeenah University where it states on page 106 that Sufyaan Ath-Thawree said:
"Whoever listens to a person of innovation has left the protection of Allaah and is entrusted to it - meaning the innovation."
And on page 107 Fudayl ibn 'Iyaad said: "Whoever honors an innovator has assisted in the demolition of Islaam!"
Regarding Abdullaah As-Sabt, then he did not bring him to the Masjid to just lecture but
in reality to give him a type of tazkiyya h or commendation!
[We will probably see Al-Maghraawee from Morocco visiting there soon]
Before we continue we would like to make an important point, and that is, while
Abdullaah As-Sabt was visiting the Masjid he made a few statements of innovation and
Abu Muslimah - may Allaah guide him - of which he did not even attempt to refute or
correct publicly.
Something that Abu Muslimah would have normally done with someone who was clearly salafee in his manhaj.
As for this unsteady hizbee Abdullaah As-Sabt, he did not bother to correct him
publicly which was required of him because his statement of incorrectness was done
publicly!
During Abdullaah As-Sabt's visit to Masjidu Ahlul Bid'ah (commonly known as Masjidu Ahlis Sunnah) he was questioned by one of the brothers there and as translated by Hishaam Alee, the Egyptian car dealer and close associate and supporter of
Muhammad Abdul Maqsood: "Our imaam here, studied, came back and he teaches us and we learn from him and
we don't know anything except good from him. He teaches Allaah said, His Messenger said, and that's what we learn from him, which is to follow what the Prophet came with and to follow the understanding from the People of Knowledge.
But suddenly, someone comes and says he has problems with the People of Knowledge.
What should our position be in the community?" So the unsteady Abdullaah As-Sabt
said:
"Firstly, there are no differences or problems between the Shaikh (Abu Muslimah),your imaam and the Ulamaaa. For the Ulamaa - the majority of them [vast majority of them, that is] - we have not heard from them anything. But rather [it is only]. Shaikh
Rabee - may Allaah preserve him - who spoke against the Shaikh (Abu Muslimah)kalaam ghara mabniyyin 'alaal Ilm (statements not based on knowledge)!"
Some questions that should now be asked are as follows:
Was it proper for the unsteady one, Abdullaah As-Sabt to call Abu Muslimah
shaikh while calling Shaikh Rabee shaikh? Does this not imply that they are equal?
Is it befitting the acumen,character and veracity of a scholar to speak about someone without knowledge?
And if he does make disparaging, criticizing, statements of dispraise about someone does he have to personally know him?
If the answer to the third question is that it is not befitting or correct then it was also not
not befitting or correct for the great imaams of the past like Al-Bukhaaree, Muslim,
Aboo Daawood, At-Tirmidhee, Ibnu Maajah, An-Nasaa'ee, Maalik, Ash-Shaafi?ee,
Yahyaa ibnu Ma'een, Ahmad ibnu Hanbal, Adh-Dhahabee, Ad-Daraqutnee, Abdullaah ibnul Mubaarak and their like to make such statements about individuals
who lived thousands of nautical miles away from them such as:
"He is a forger"
"He is a liar"
"So and so has a defective memory"
"So and so was accused of lying"
Without even meeting the people they criticized?
The truth and fact of the matter is that when a trustworthy, reliable person came to them
with information concerning those people they accepted the information!
In the not so distant past, Shaikh Muqbil said about Abdullaah As-Sabt: "So we are resolved to assail with our tapes and our books the Jam'iyyah Ihyaa at-Turaath and Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul-Khaaliq, and the unsteady Abdullaah As-Sabt, and [regarding him, i.e., As-Sabt] sometimes he affirms Hizbiyyah [and at] others he
forbids it - on a single tape! Sometimes he affirms the Jamaa'ahs [at] other times he
rejects them. And this is how it is. Study, study O Abdullaah As-Sabt. I advise you for Allaah, seeking Allaah's Face, that you study and learn so that you may call to Allaah
upon clear knowledge and not remain unsteady."
The Shaikh [Muqbil] also said about him:
"that I should speak and warn against your Hizbiyyah and that which you are upon, so that you may free yourselves before Allaah from Hizbiyyah. This is an obligation!" Then the Shaikh, may Allaah have mercy on him mentioned the authentic hadeeth of the
Prophet:
"Whoever amongst you sees an evil then let him remove it with his hand, and if he is not able, then with his tongue, and if he is not able then with his heart and that is the weakest of Eemaan!"
Are you still wondering why he brought these people to their masjid in East Orange?
It is clear!
Because a man is on the deen (manhaj) of his friend and he also hangs out with and accompanies those whom he loves!
Next: His blatant disrespect and belittlement for the People of Knowledge.
