Shaikh Rabee' bin Haadee's Advice to the Ummah and the Palestinians
Shaikh Rabee' bin Haadee, the Imaam of al-Jarh wat-Ta'deel, Aider of the Sunnah and a thorn in the throats of the Heretical Partisans, admonishes the Ummah with some great reminders and lessons, in his address dated 21/7/1421H (19th October 2000CE).
The Noble Shaikh first addressed the Nation [Jews] inviting wrath and anger upon itself, and reminded them that they are the nation of humiliation due to their killing of the Prophets and their arrogant disbelief. Their well-known characteristics were highlighted, those of deception, treachery, causing tribulation upon the earth, kindling war and what is besides that - which is well known to all the nations.
In particular, they were informed that they were not granted victory against the Army of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), and nor against the aqidah of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), the aqidah of Tawheed, that of "Laa ilaaha ilallaaha". The Shaikh continued and stated that they were not granted victory against the army which was led by the likes of Khalid Ibn Waleed or Abu Ubaydah Ibn al-Jarraah, or Sa'd bin Abi Waqqaas and Amr Ibn al-Aas and their likes - since they were those who were cultivated upon the aqidah and manhaj of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), and their armies were likewise cultivated upon that. And they were led for the purpose of raising the word of Allaah and making it supreme.
Then the Shaikh reminded the nation inviting wrath upon itself that they were only aided against an army the majority of whom do not hold the aqidah and manhaj of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and his companions, and who do not fight for the aim and objective which was fought for by Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and his companions. And that it was against the likes of this type of army that they were granted victory and due to its weakness and failure were they able to set up their state.
The Shaikh then mentioned that this is the history of the Nation that invites wrath and anger upon itself (that of mischief, corruption and plotting behind the scenes), and this is indeed the way Allaah will deal with them - as He had dealt with them in the past at the hands of the Magians (Majoos). Rather, as the Shaikh, mentioned, they will have what is more severe than that - at the hands of the army of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), the army of Islaam, just as they have been promised, due to their lowliness and despicableness in the sight of Allah, "And if you return (to your mischief and corruption) then we will return (with Our punishment)..." (Israa 17:8).
The Shaikh, then addressing the aforementioned, states that they have indeed returned to their mischief and corruption and therefore the punishment of Allaah will soon return, that which is promised, all at the hands of the army of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam).
The Shaikh then addressed the Ummah, the rulers and the ruled and the various groups and parties and asked them, until when will they keep inclining to this lowly life? How long will they keep living in this state? Until when? He reminds them that they have set up thousands of schools and universities but where are their fruits? Where are their benefits? Where is that observed in the welfare and wellbeing of the Ummah? The Shaikh swears by Allaah, that if only ten of these such schools and universities had been set up upon the Minhaaj of Prophethood, in terms of aqidah, and mannerisms and legislation then the world would have indeed been illuminated by the light of Imaan and Tawheed and the darknesses of Shirk and Innovation and Ignorance would have been terminated. In such a state, the Enemies would not have gained ascendancy and authority over you.
The Shaikh then admonished the Ummah by asking "Does not this true and bitter reality cause you to take another look at the methodologies (manaahij) of your schools and your universities, and the ways you have adopted in cultivating yourselves?" The Shaikh then demands that they change these methodologies which do not bring about any benefit, and in their place establish the Rabaaani Manhaj without which there is no rectification or victory or succcess, neither in this life and nor the Hereafter.
Then addressing the Rulers of the Muslims, the Shaikh reminded them of their great responsibility and that included within it is their adherence to the Book and the Sunnah and the Seerah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs with respect to the affairs of aqidah and ibadah and siyaasah - in their rule over their subjects and cultivating them. Also that they have a resolution from Allaah that they throw aside these non-Islamic laws, these variant, opposing, backward laws and to instead, organise the affairs in all aspects of life by the Book of Allaah, the Sunnah of His Messenger and that of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs. He reminded them that they are the Servants of Allaah, eating from His sustenance, and hence it is from His rights over them that they worship Him alone and give thanks to Him and hence they should adhere to His Deen and His Legislation, and likewise make their subjects adhere to all of that. And also that they should prepare armies which are nurtured and cultivated upon the Book and the Sunnah and upon the foundation of an Islamic army with the goals and objectives of the army of Muhammad (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam). That these armies should be nurtured and cultivated upon aqidah and manhaj of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), and that of Umar al-Faarooq, and that of Khaalid Ibn Waleed, and likewise they should be cultivated to attain and aspire for those goals and objectives which were laid down and sought by Muhammad and his Companions, such that they become the soldiers of Allaah in truth, "And indeed our Servants will be victorious." (Saaffaat 37:173)
The Shaikh cautioned them from worldly goals or goals which raise the banners of nationalism or patriotism or due to territorial issues and advised them that these things have been sufficient as a cause for the most lowly and despicable of nations to gain authority over them and showing great arrogance and oppression against them. The Shaikh reminded them that all of this cannot be repelled and undone except by adherence to Islaam and teaching the Ummah and its armies upon the foundations of Islaam and its pillars and throwing aside all other calls and slogans and banners and ideas and beliefs, all of which have made this Ummah fall into this bitter state.
The Shaikh then addressed the Palestinian peoples specifically and reminded them that Palestine was not conquered except by way of Islaam at the hands of the Farooq of Islaam (i.e. Umar) and his armies. Similarly, the impurity that exists on its soil will not be removed and freed except by way of the true and correct Islaam, by which it was initially conquered.
The Shaikh reminded them that they have defended themselves for so long, and he has not known a people who have shown patience like they have shown patience. However,the Shaikh continued, they do not at the same time carry the aqidah and manhaj of Umar al-Farooq, and had their Jihaad been established upon this aqidah and manhaj, then many of their difficulties would have been resolved, and they would have invited victory and success. Hence, it is necessary for them to establish their aqidah, manhaj and their Jihaad upon the Book and the Sunnah and that they should all hold on to the rope of Allaah and not to separate and split - and that they should adhere to all of this with strength and resolve along with sincerity of purpose for Allaah - in their mosques, their schools, their universities and be truthful to Allaah in all of that.
The Shaikh then reminded them that the People of Shaam have been given a promise of help against their non-believing opposers - upon the tongue of the Truthful and Believed (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) - and in light of which they ought to roll up their sleeves and with all zeal work in that which will bring about the accomplishment of this promise - and without this they will never succeed and will only invite loss and humility. Neither the involvement of America, or the United Nations will bring benefit to them and nor will nationalism or patriotism benefit them. Hence, they ought to strive in the true causes of benefit and assistance (from Allaah) - and they have experienced enough for them to realise these great truths.
The Shaikh finished by making supplications for this Ummah, for its correction, for the strengthening of the Muslims and for Allaah's Word to be raised high. Ameen.
And in all of this the Noble Shaikh has followed in the way of the Rabbaani Scholars of this Ummah, the likes of Imaam Ibn Baaz, Imaam al-Albaani and Shaikh Ibn Uthaimeen, whose methodology of Tasfiyah and Tarbiyah is apparent and evident. And we ask Allaah that protects our Ulamaa and our Mashayikh from the schemes of Ahl ul-Ahwaa wal-Fitan - for it is these Ulamaa who direct and guide the Ummah to where its success truly lies - the rectification of the Ummaah upon one creed, one manhaj and one Ibaadah.
Indeed this is the embodiment of the saying of Imaam Maalik, "The latter part of this Ummah will not be rectified except by that which rectified its earlier part."
And all of this is in opposition to the groups and sects of Innovation and Hizbiyyah who call for "the correction of side issues" as Shaikh Salih al-Fawzaan noted. So some of them call to correction of the rule and rulership and their concern is but takfir of the rulers and calling for revolutions and stirring hatred and undue commotion - and calling all of the groups and sects to come under one umbrella and embrace Shurocracy (Islamicised Democracy) and to leave aside their differences (in aqidah and manhaj). And yet others turn to asceticism and innovations in worship and extremes in this regard. So all of these orientations are falsehood and bring about more harm. Rather all good lies in the way of the Salaf, and throwing aside what the Innovators and Biased Partisans have unleashed upon the Ummah of Political Activism, Qutubism and Bannaawism - which over the decades have not borne any fruits except the unnecessary loss of life and the corruption of the Deen!

Subhanak Allaahuma wa bihamdika ash-hadu anlaa illaaha illa anta astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk
If I said anything correct, then it is from Allaah (subhanahu wa taa'ala), and if I erred, then that is from me and shaytan.
