EXTRACT from the Appendix of the Marvellous Book:
Manhajul Anbiyyah Fid Da'wah Illallaah
(The Methodology of the Prophets In Calling to Allaah)
By al-'Allaamah Rabee' Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee.
APPENDIX [324]
All praise is for Allaah alone, and may He send praises and blessings of peace upon the Messenger of Allaah, and upon his family and true followers, and his Companions and those who follow his way.
To proceed, I praise Allaah, with abundant, pure and blessed praise for every blessing which He has bestowed on me, and I give thanks to Him, the Most High, and praise and extol Him, and I cannot praise and extol Him as truly befits Him, and no-one can do so.
Then from the blessings which Allaah has bestowed on me is that He has enabled me,despite my weakness, to speak the truth openly according to my capability, whether in writing or face to face encounters, so I thank Him and praise Him with praise such as would fill the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. I also ask that He grants me firmness upon that until I meet Him and that He is pleased with me. I further ask that He grants me increase in guidance to what is correct, and protection, and I do not forget, and all praise is for Allaah, that when my book, 'The Methodology of the Prophets in Calling to Allaah - That is the Way of Wisdom and Intellect,' was published it was accepted by the true Muslim youth in every place with joy and was greatly welcomed. This was because it made the call of the Prophets clear to them, until it became as clear as the sun in the middle of the day, and it removed confusion, distortions and the deception of some writers whose hearts were like those of devils in the form of humans those whose only concern is to gather the people around them and around their fraudulent slogans. It does not worry such people that this gathering of people should include the Raafidees (extreme Shee'ah ), the hypocrites, the heretical Khawaarij [325], the extreme Sufis who are guilty of apostasy, the ignorant and their like from the worshippers of the graves, or whichever of the wretched and unfortunate groups.
It does not worry them that this type of people rally together with them and rally to their slogans, despite the evil consequences of this in this world and the Hereafter. This is because they are as they were described by Allaah's Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam), "Callers to the gates of Hell, whoever answers their call will be thrown into it," and because they are as the sincere, truthful and trustworthy Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) described them, "Devils in the bodies of humans." If this is not the case then what is it that causes them, and those who follow their lead, to flee from and separate themselves from the clear and radiant way and methodology of the Prophets, which is made clear by the Qur'aan and shown to be their way and their methodology?
Tawheed of Allaah with regard to this His names and attributes, tawheed of Allaah in His lordship, and tawheed of Allaah in His worship, and to disbelieve and reject everything that is worshipped besides Him - that is the pure religion. Allaah the Most High, says:
"We sent a Messenger to every nation, ordering them that they should worship Allaah alone, obey Him and make their worship purely for Him, and that they should avoid everything worshipped besides Allaah." [326]
He said:
"We did not send any Messenger before you, O Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam), except that We revealed to Him that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah - so make all of your worship purely for Allaah." [327]
Study any of the other da'wahs of the sects and parties - other than the Salafee[328] da'wah - do you see this methodology or any trace of it in their schooling, their persons, or their jamaa'aat? Then show it to me if you are truthful. As for myself I do not find in these sects and parties except that they wage a fierce war against this methodology and its people. I do not see except belittlement and mockery of this methodology and its people. I do not see except hatred and enmity for this methodology and its people, and I do not see except warm greetings and respect from them for the deviant and misguided calls and their people.
Indeed you will frequently see and hear the last of these from those who disguise themselves as Salafees but are in reality closer in relation to their enemies, and there are ties and relationships between them which are such as they are known only to Allaah.
Then there are some who are passionately in love with the state of superstitions, innovations and misguidance who think- and evil are their thoughts, and evil is the lie which they invent- that Imake a separation between the religion and the State, and that I dispute about the importance of the subject of authority of sovereignty.
"What a serious word it is that comes out of their mouths! What they say is nothing but a lie" [329]
So this book displeased them and it made clear the falsity of their calls and their misrepresentation and distortion of Islaam and of the text concerning tawheed - particularly with regard to the da'wah of the Messengers, may Allaah's praise and blessings of peace be upon them. The book did not join them in welcoming the state of the Raafidee Shee'ahs. Nor did it support them in seeking establishment of statelets founded upon the building of the tombs and upon the belief that the pious who have died know the Hidden and Unseen and have some control over the creation. Nor did it support them in seeking establishment of statelets based upon any such things as have preceded, nor in accepting the misguidance and shirk of secularism which seeks to disguise itself in the guise of Islaam.
Rather the book, and all praise is for Allaah, made clear that the true and trustworthy da'wah is that which follows the methodology of the Prophets in calling to Allaah, and the state which is established upon this correct methodology - that is the Islamic state. Then despite the fact that the book was dealing with a particular topic - which was to explain the methodology of the Prophets in calling to Allaah - it still gave attention to mentioning the Islamic state which it mentioned repeatedly and emphasised a number of times. It even had a chapter headed: "The view of the scholars of Islaam concerning leadership (al-Imaamah) and their proofs of its obligation". Then the scholars sayings about that were quoted and their proofs mentioned. However what angered the people of innovations and desires, and the callers to falsehood, is that I placed leadership and the state in the place given to them by Allaah and which was accepted by the scholars of Islaam. I did not support the people of innovation and desires in their abandonment of the methodology of the Prophets in calling to tawheed, and fighting shirk, innovations and the rest of the types of misguidance and deviation, and fighting idolatry and grave-worship.

[328] Publisher's note: One who attributes himself to the salaf. The salaf being primarily the Companions of the Prophet (*), and the two generations that came after them (taabi'een and the atbaa at-taabi'een). Therefore a Salafee will always refer to the Qur'aan and Sunnah, relying on the explanation of the salaf.
