Shadeed Muhammad Belittles the Importance of Knowing the Scholars and Knowing the People of Truth from the People of Falsehood



Shadeed Muhammad said,

quote:
But we're more concerned with knowing who the scholars are, knowing who's astray. An individual converted from Christianity to Islam he knows who's astray but he doesn't know that Isa was not the word. These are the things that, and you know we are to blame for that, because we have detailed the religion in such a fashion that it diverts people, and I've heard myself the scholars say this with a lot of these books and most of the times you'll hear this from some of the older scholars, Shaykh Ali Nasir Al Faqihi, Shaykh Abdul Muhsin Al-Abbad, older scholars, individuals who are eighty years old seventy eight, seventy nine, eighty years old. Who some of the scholars we quote they were their teachers. Shaykh Muhsin, Rahimuhallah taýala, hafithahullah ta'ala, taught ShaykhRabee'. Shaykh Ali Nasir Al-Faqihi taught Shaykh Rabee', taught Shaykh Ubaid, taught Shaykh Fulan and Fulan and any other scholars that we can think of, these were their teachers. And they have made statements like, you know the scholars they're putting these books out these works out which are very good, however they are too detailed. And in the process of the students getting involved in those details they've missed out on the fundamental principles of the religion.

An ongoing pattern of critcizing those who discern the people of truth from the people of falsehood - this is Shadeed's manhaj!

Shadeed Muhammad Claims the Salafees in America have Ignored Tawheed and Focused on the Principle of ar-Radd 'alal-Mukhaalif and al-Jarh wat-Ta'deel
Another of Shadeed Muhammad's Gross Exaggerations of the Realities!



Shadeed Muhammad said,

quote:
But we are creating, we are creating, an environment and a culture within Islam where we are teaching our children, especially the new shahadahs,that the intricate details of Islam, and the people don't even know the fundamentals about the religion. So you'll find a new shahadah today knows all about hizbiyyah and bid'ah and who's astray and who's not astray and jarh wa ta'dil and you know the science of criticizing a narrator and whatever the case may be but he don't know the difference between Tawheed Ar Ruboobiyyah and Tawheed al Uloohiyyah. He doesn't know the difference between Tawheed Al Uloohiyyah and Tawheed Ar Ruboobiyyah. But he knows the intricate details of criticizing someone and if this scholar says this and it's a Jarh mufassal and a muqaddim ala you know the criticism that is detailed takes precedence over the praise that is general. And all these other principals which have their place in the religion of al-Islam, however for someone who is new to the religion, someone who is a layman, a lemon from amongst the layman has no business having these intricate details about the religion but doesn't know the fundamentals of what will save him from the hellfire. And we are the ones that are responsible for that, those of us that are seasoned muslims, those of us that have been muslim for a while and understand, we've learned the lingo we got it down pack, we got salafiyyah down, we read a couple of books and then we drag the new shahadah into it, we drag our children into it.

Shadeed Muhammad Claims the One who Calls to Unity Today is Labelled a Mumayyi'



Shadeed Muhammad said,

quote:
That no one talks about uniting except a zindeeq, except a hypocrite or someone who is majnun or someone who is insane. Similar to what we do today. Many of the callers who call to the Muslims uniting, the salafis uniting in specific and the Muslims in general to uniting, and the salafis in specific uniting, many of the callers who call to that today are given a different label. What are they called? They're not called Zindeeq, they're called Mumayyi' and all of these other terminologies that they throw around about an individual because he wants to see the Muslims united, and he wants to see the salafis more specifically united. So when he calls the salafis to uniting and to pardon one another and all of the other things that will bring about Ijtimaa' and unification in the religion, he's labeled as a zindeeq; he's labeled as mutasaahil, someone easy going; he donýt talk about aqeedah, he don't never warn against the people of bid'ah, he don't ever warn against the people of ahl ahwaa; he's mumayi'; These are the terminologies that we use about our du'aat. Those who sacrificed their lives to call to Allah, while you sit in the back and go to work 8 hours a day and you take all your information from the internet, then you sit back on your couch and you make a hukm on people, and you talking about the callers, those who call to Allah's religion, and you address him as being Mumayyi' cause all he talks about is the Muslims, no different than what Muhammad Abdul-Wahhaab is talking about here. The only person that talks about uniting, and this was 300 and something odd years ago, was a person who was a zindeeq or insane, and today we call him Mumayyi' and mutasaahil, mutahaawin in the affair of the people of innovation he belittles the affairs of the people of innovation; he don't talk about the people of innovation. Every conference and lecture we going to warn against the people of innovation? When will the jahil learn the the difference between what's correct and not correct if we spend all our time talking about the people of innovation? And this is not to belittle advising the ummah about the people of innovation so we can stay away from them, but there is a time for this and a time for that and fee kulli maqaam maqaal. Not at every gathering we goin do that, but those whose perception and their concept of being a daee and calling to Allah consists of every lecture you have to speak about the Khawarij , every lecture you have to speak about the people of innovation, every lecture you have to warn against the people of desires, and the people don't even know Tawheed, and the people don't even know how to make wudu correctly. And the people, and the people and the people (till the end of that). The caller who speaks about unifying the ranks of the Muslims in general and the salafis more specific, heýs mumayyi'. Allahu mustaýaan wa alayhi tuklaan.

COMMENTS:

The mumayyi'oon of our time are the people of Ikhwaanul-Muslimoon, the followers of Hasan al-Bannaa and those who attempt to bring those principles of tamyee' into Salafiyyah, such as 'Adnaan 'Ar'oor, Abul-Hasan al-Ma`ribee, 'Alee al-Halabee and their likes.  Shadeed has somehow taken the speech of Shaykhul-Islaam Muhammad Ibn 'Abdul-Wahhaab about unity and turned it into an attack upon the Salafees who who warn and separate from the people of innovation.

Shadeed Muhammad Criticizes the Salafee Du'aat in America for Conveying the Warnings of the Scholars Against Abul-Hasan al-Ma`ribee



Shadeed Muhammad said,

quote:
Number one look at the maslahah and the mafsadah, look at the benefit and the harm. Weigh the harm and the benefit. And as we know as a general principle: if the harm outweighs the good, then leave it, then leave it. Because what we do sometimes when we warn against somebody, as Shaykh Rabee' uhh some of the brothers from France they came and asked Shaykh Rabee' about Abul-Hasan al-Ma`ribee. And Shaykh Rabee' said: Is any of Abul-Hasan al-Ma`ribee's translated into France? They said: No. He said: Do you listen to any of his lectures? They said: No. He said: Does he come there and visit you all and give you talks? They said: No. He said: Then why are you asking about him? laysh shughulu shaaghlukum su`aal, yan'ee su'aal 'an haadhar-rajul? Limaadhaa? Ish Sha`nukum feehi? What do you have to do with him? He doesn't... You don't listen to any of his tapes. He doesn't come there and give you lectures, none of his books are translated in your language. Why are you so concerned about him? Which is something we did here in America. That had it been permissible, it was to the extent, had it been permissible for individuals to draw weapons on each other, we would have done it. Over an individual that none of us have any ta'alluq, any connection to. I never even heard about Abul-Hasan al-Ma`ribee until his name came up, till he was warned against. I never read any of his books, I never knew who he was. Many of us were the same thing. But after the fitnah hit, you had this individual: What's your position on Abul-Hasan al-Ma`ribee? Ish shughuluk? What you have to do with Abul-Hasan al-Ma`ribee? You don't listen to any of his tapes. He has never been to America to give anybody a talk or a lecture and none of his books are translated in our language. What are you worried about him for? Because when you warn against somebody that is not known, you give him a name. You make him famous.

COMMENTS:

Here Shadeed criticizes the du'aat in who conveyed the warnings of the Scholars against Abul-Hasan al-Ma`ribee!  At the head of such du'aat were the likes of Abu Uways 'Abdullaah Ahmad, Daawood Adeeb, Abul-Hasan Maalik, Hasan as-Somali and many others.

Shadeed Muhammad Belittles the Importance of Correct Manhaj and Criticizes the Focus of the Salafee Du'aat in America



Shadeed Muhammad said,

quote:
But there's aspects of the Religion we haven't even talked about. I've been a Muslim for ten years, wa lillaahil-hamd, and there's aspects of Religion, lectures I have never heard, I've never heard about. Has anybody ever heard a lecture on inheritance? Has anybody have ever heard a lecture on meeraath? No. I've been a Muslim for ten years, I have never heard a lecture from a daa'ee in America, and I'm not blaming anyone. I'm just showing you that there's aspects of the Religion we haven't even tapped into yet, because we focus on the same thing. If you're not talking about who's astray, who's on it, who's off it, you don't have no knowledge of the Religion. You don't know manhaj. This is, this is the issues, this where we at right now.

Shadeed Muhammad Calls to
Broadening the 'Circle of Salafiyyah'




Shadeed Muhammad said,

quote:
Wallahil Atheem we have a no tolerance for sin policy in our communities. No tolerance, zero tolerance for sin in our communities. Individual got his pants to far below his ankles and we ready to oust him, we ready to kick him out of the community. A sister step out her home and she donýt have black gloves on, she don't have a black over garment on, she don't have a niqab on, we ready to kick her out the community. She's condemned, I mean we're so extreme and we exaggerate everything. Wallahil Atheem we gotta get away from that or we're gonna continue in the small circle that we call salafiyyah instead of broadening the circle and allowing, you know the muslims, to look at it as not just as a salafi circle but as muslims in general. Some of us have correct aqeedah and some of us don't, that's just how it goes,I mean, everybody is not gonna,we keep having these visions in our minds of everybody in the community is gone be salafi, thatýs not realistic, name to me one masjid in the dunya where everybody goes to the masjid is a salafi, and I'll stop talking and I'll go to that community and that's where I will remain until Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala calls me back. Every community has people in it that are salafi and have the correct Aqeedah correct Minhaj the correct understanding of Islam and then there are some people who are just you know, they are coming along, alhamdullilah, they coming along. By virtue of the fact that they go to a salafi masjid we should welcome them with open arms, and we shouldn't exclude them and condemn them because they not on your level. Wallahi you just left kuffar last week, you just left kuffar three months ago, you just left kuffar a year ago, and now you here you are talking about somebody ain't salafi or somebody ain't this, have some respect for yourself.

Shadeed Muhammad Lies upon Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan and Shaykh Rabee' Ibn Haadee
(hafidhahumullaah)




Shadeed Muhammad said,

quote:
The second type of people are the people who go to the extreme with the Scholars.  You find, you find a group of people and they take one particular Scholar and he becomes their Imaam.  They don't see nobody else's statement, except that Scholar.  And Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan - hafidhahullaahu ta'aala - he was asked about someone who says about a particular Scholar, that I don't accept from nobody from him.  And I am going to tell you, I'ma tell you the whole thing.  An individual said to Shaykh Saalih Fawzaan, or was brought that, or it was brought to Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan's attention that an individual said that I only take from Shaykh Rabee'.  I don't take from nobody else but Shaykh Rabee'.  Shaykh Saalih Fawzaan said that is 'aynul-hizbiyyah.  He said that is hizbiyyah.  He said it's hizbiyyah anytime you have ta'assub with any Scholar, even if he is a Salafee Scholar.  He said, "Haadhaa 'aynul-hizbiyyah."  And you can find the article translated in English and Arabic on Madeenah(dot)Com.  Uh...the article was translated and the reference from where that fat...where that statement was taken from.  The reference and everything is there.

COMMENTS:

So here Shadeed lies upon Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan to the Salafees in the west, claiming that someone asked Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan about a fictional group that follows no one other than Shaykh Rabee' and that Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan responded by saying that this was 'aynul-hizbiyyah.  He then references this answer to the website of his comrades in Madeenah.  We have yet to find such a fatwaa on Madeenah(dot)Com.  Here is the only fatwaa we've found:

quote:
Partisanship (Hizbiyyah) To a Scholar or a Da'ee

Shaykh Saalih ibn Fowzaan al-Fowzaan
     

Reference: Al Ajwibah Al Mufeedah ýan Asilat Al Manaahij Al Jadeedah: Q67 Beneficial Answers to Questions on New Methodologies."(Q: 67).
     

Category: Methodology

What is the ruling of an individual who loves a scholar or a Da'ee and says: I love him very much, I do not want to listen to anyone refuting him and I take his word even if it goes against the evidence, because the shaykh has more knowledge of the evidence than us?

This is detestable and blameworthy partisanship and it is not allowed. We love the scholars-and all praise is to Allaah-and we love the Du'aat (callers) for the sake of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic. However if one from amongst them makes an error in an issue, we make clear the truth in that issue with the evidence and this does not decrease our love for the one who is refuted nor does it decrease his status. Imaam Maalik-rahimahullaah- said: "There is no one from amongst us except that he will refute or be refuted, except the companion of this grave." Meaning the Messenger of Allaah SAllaahu Alihee Wasallam.

If we refute some of the people of knowledge and some of the people of virtue, this does not mean that we hate him or dispraise him, we only make clear what is correct and for this reason some of the scholars, when some of their colleagues made an error, said: "So and so is beloved to us, however the truth is more beloved to us than him. " And this is the correct way.

Do not understand from this that to refute some of the scholars in an issue where they have erred in, means lowering them or having hatred for them. Rather the scholars have not ceased refuting each other and at the same time being brothers and having mutual love. It is not allowed for us to take everything that an individual says unquestionably, whether he is correct or in error, because this is partisanship.

The one whose statement is taken absolutely and nothing from it is left, is the Messenger of Allaah Sallaahu ýAlihee Wasallam. Because he is a Messenger from his Lord and does not speak from his desires. As for other than them (messengers), then sometimes they make errors and sometimes they are correct, even though they may be from the best of the people, they are Mujtahidoon that make mistakes at times and are correct at others. No one is infallible from falling into error except the Messenger of Allaah Sallaahu ýAlihee Wasallam. It is therefore Waajib that we know this and that we do not remain silent upon error, due to love of an individual. Rather it is upon us that we make the error clear. The Prophet Sallaahu ýAlihee Wasallam said: "The religion is sincere advice. We said: To whom. He said: To Allaah, His book, His messenger, the leaders of the Muslims and their general people."

So clarification of an error is advice for all, as for concealing it, then this goes against advice.


So where is the mention of Shaykh Rabee'?

Shadeed Refuses to Acknowledge that the Ideal Place of the Muslim Woman is in the Home
This is His Promotion of Women's Rights in Action




Shadeed's biography - which used to appear on his website but has been removed since the Salafee Scholars started to respond to his falsehood - said,

quote:
Shadeed Muhammad is noted for promoting Women's Rights and Education in Islam and the world at large.


Shadeed Muhammad said,

quote:
Female Interviewer: But it is ideal that she be at home?

ShadeedMuhammad: Well, it depends, it depends. I can't say that across the board that it is ideal for her to be at home. It depends on each individual situation. A woman, some women are stay-at-home moms, and of course, for them that may be ok. Then you have the woman that's, maybe she has two children, she's single. Is it, would it be encouraged for her to stay at home or take care of her children. So it's not as black and white and this is the problem with many people who speak about the Religion of Islam. They make the Religion appear as if it's just black and white and it's not that way. It depends on the individual and the circumstances. And if I was asked a question like that, my response would always be: it depends on the circumstances or it depends on the individual...

COMMENTS:

So this is another example of Shadeed promoting "women's rights".  Notice that he was asked whether it is ideal for the Muslim woman to remain in the home.  In other words, he is being asked about the ideal and best situation, not the exceptions to the rule or unavoidable necessities!  He refuses to say that this is even the ideal situation and proceeds to list reasons that he finds for the Muslim working outside the home.  He also continues to berate those who "make the Religion appear as if it's just black and white and it's not that way."  One such example of these people is Shaykhul-Islaam 'Abdul-'Azeez Ibn Baaz (d.1420H), read his his treatise, [url=http://www.salafitalk.net/st/replytotopic.cfm?Forum=9&Topic=11794]Danger of Women Freely Mixing with Men[/url], especially in their Participation in the Work Arena of Men.  The Shaykh does not mention the exceptions or necessities to the rule, but he steadfastly expounds upon the general prohibition of the woman working outside the home.  Then, later in the same thread, he explains that the woman can work outside her him "if it is a noble and respected work with no free mixing."  Shadeed, however, make no such knowledge based tafseel (elaboration).

Shadeed Disparages the Salafee Sisters in Comparison to the Non-Salafee Muslim Sisters




Shadeed's biography - which used to appear on his website but has been removed since the Salafee Scholars started to respond to his falsehood - said,

quote:
Shadeed Muhammad is noted for promoting Women's Rights and Education in Islam and the world at large.


Shadeed Muhammad said,

quote:
And honestly, if you search the internet, you'll find that Muslim women, who may or may not be Salafee; they are busy. They, they have a magazine, they have magazines that have come out. Uhh, I'm forgetting the name of the magazine, one of the sisters in the UK. No, I can't remember. It's a magazine that comes out on a monthly basis...umm...uhh... If you look at the magazine, it looks exactly like, not exactly like, but its structured like an Ebony magazine. That thick, and it has nothing but Islamic infomation about the women. They're busy. While our sisters maashaa` Allaah, you say you're Salafee, Salafeee, Salafee, but where is the propagation of that Salafiyyah? Where is it? I mean, when we invite non-Salafees, or people who do not ascribe to the methodology of the Salaf, to our conferences and lectures, all they get when they come there is that the Salafee sisters can't control their children, they're talking during the lectures... What do they think about the sisters who call themselves Salafee? And she may not wear black, she may not have on a niqaab, but she's coming and she's watching how you conduct yourselves and then she leaves and she says: I have no business in those type of circles and I will never attend another one of those gatherings.

COMMENTS:

So this self-proclaimed promoter of women's rights attacks the Salafee sisters whilst praising a magazine run by non-Salafiyyaat!  In his usual pattern, he first attacks their ascription to Salafiyyah.  It seems he can never pass up an opportunity to criticize those who ascribe to Salafiyyah!  After that, all he mentions about the Salafiyyaat is that they cannot control their children.  Of course Shadeed has no positive comments for the sisters to ascribe to Salafiyyah.  The only women he is promoting here are the ones that are not Salafee!

Shadeed Muhammad Denies the Progress of the Salafi Da'wah in America in the Last 10 Years




Shadeed Muhammad said,

quote:
The Da'watus-Salafiyyah from 1999 or 2000 to 2010; how much progress have we made? So many people have been put off the da'wah. So many masaajids have been closed. So many people have been chased away from the da'wah. So many people have left Islaam. Wallaahi, so many people have left Islaam. People have been put off the da'wah, because of some wave that came through that everybody was riding, and then when the wave passed through, what about all the people that was put off the da'wah in the process? What are we to do with them? This, in a ten year span, how much progress have we made? Where are the masaajid, where are the Islamic institutions? Where are the younger people who we are sending away to go and learn Islam and come back and be an asset to the community, instead of a liability? This is something for us to ponder and reflect on and the next time we use that term, "I'm on the manhaj of the Salaf," wallaahil-'adheem, we should look at the manhaj of the Salaf first and then do an evaluation before we make that statement. Do an evaluation on yourself before you make that statement.

COMMENTS:

Here Shadeed does what he does best: Speak without proof or examples, with pure emotion and exaggeration!  Where are all these masaajid that have closed down yaa Shadeed?  Who are the people that were chased away from the da'wah?  What about all the people that came to Salafiyyah between 1999 and 2010 - do you not accept their Salafiyyah?  What about all the Salafee masaajid that were established within the range of 1999-2010 do you not accept their Salafiyyah?

Shadeed Muhammad Says Ikhtilaaf (Differing) is a Blessing




Shadeed Muhammad said,

quote:
Well, in Islam, um, as it relates to the Islamic legislative rulings regarding, you know, these issues, the woman's dress, or the man's dress for that matter... Um, the Scholars, past and present, they differ on issues of whether the face should be covered or shouldn't be covered... Um, and I think that that differing is actually a blessing because it shows that, you know, that things in Islam, there are room to do things more than one way.

Shadeed Muhammad Attacks the Integrity of the Salafees Once More!
He is Tired of Hearing People Say They are on the Manhaj of the Salaf




Shadeed Muhammad said,

quote:
We are nowhere near in comparison to them, subhaanallaah! And then we'll say we're on the manhaj of the Salaf. Maashaa` Allaah tabaarakallaah. Wallaahi, I am so tired of hearing that statement, "on the manhaj of the Salaf." We need to put that statement on pause for a second and then evaluate yourself in the manhaj of the Salaf and then really see if you are worthy of making that statement. You ascribe, or you are trying to be on the manhaj of the Salaf, but to say I'm on the manhaj of the Salaf, many of us don't have that privilege to say that.

COMMENTS:

Once again, Shadeed speaks unrestrictedly and with pure emotion against the Salafees!

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan said,

quote:
"The group of as-Salafiyyah is the group that is upon the truth and it is obligatory to attribute oneself to it, to work with it and to ascribe oneself to it. And whatever exceeds that from the various groups, then it is obligatory upon you to not consider them from the groups of da'wah, because they are in opposition, except if they affiliate themselves with the group of as-Salafiyyah." Refer to al-Ajwibatul-Mufeedah (p. 239)

Shadeed Muhammad Belittles the Salafees and Praises the Jamaa'atut-Tableegh Unrestrictedly!
This is More Evidence of His Hatred for the Salafees




Shadeed Muhammad said,

quote:
And then we we wonder why the numbers amongst the Hizbiyyoon are increasing, not because they have big masaajid and nice carpet in their masjid, that's not why. But because their nice with the people they have good character. You can't say anything else about them, huh?  The Tableeghees have very good character. When they want you to come out and give da'wah with them for forty days, they may even give you money, they even give you money! I am dead serious, they give you money!  They pay for your food, you know.  They might have one of their wives wash your clothes and everything. They might even marry you - all to get you to come out and giving da'wah.  Individual come to the Masjid to learn about Salafiyyah, first thing come out our mouth: You don't have no beard, where your beard at? Why your pants below your ankles, that's all we concerned with.  The individual  probably don't even pray!  Only thing we concerned with, he don't got no beard.  He don't have...his pants not above his ankles.  That's the only thing we concerned with.

Questions to Shaykh Falaah Ismaa'eel Concerning Shadeed Muhammad

Questions:



[Q1]: A person who is a caller in America says, we wonder why the numbers of the hizbees are increasing. It is not because of the large number in their masjids or because of their carpets and rugs, rather it is becuase they treat people nicely, say what you like about Jamaa'atut-Tableegh but they have good character.  If they want you to go out with them for forty days, perhaps they will give you money, and I say with all seriousness, they will even pay for your food or even have one of their wives wash your clothes, they may even marry you (off) for the purpose of you going out with them for da'wah. But if a person comes to the masjid to learn salafiyyah, the first thing that comes from our mouths is 'why don't you have a beard', 'why are your pants in the hellfire', 'why are your pants below your ankle' the person may not even pray but all we care about is that the person doesn't have a lihyah (beard), how do we answer the likes of this statement from one who says that he is salafee?  



[Q2]: Is it permissible for someone to take knowledge from someone who holds the aforementioned position? [The Shaykh interjects asking who makes these claims...the translator mentions that his name is Shadeed Muhammad, Shaykh Falaah also discusses the impermissibility of taking names such as Shadeed (severe) as a forename]



The Shaykh also discusses the new and crazy principles of Yusuf Qaradawi and delivers heart-felt advice concerning preserving this pure, beautiful deen from the many pitfalls surrounding us today.



The Shaykh also highlighted the similitude of Shadeed Muhammad's approach to that of the da'wah of the ikhwaanul-muslimoon and that he (Shadeed) is from them, for he is like them when he is 'shadeed' (severe) upon Ahlus-Sunnah, criticising and fighting then, whilst sahl (easy) with Ahlul-Bid'ah, praising and extoling them (traits of the Ikhwaanee da'wah).



The Shaykh concludes by discussing the dangerous principle that Shadeed Muhammad adopts: 'differing is rahmah for the ummah' (based on a fabricated hadeeth) and how it leads to the acceptance of all the corrupt methodologies under cooperation and ease.


The Scholars That Have Spoken About Shadeed And His Falsehood:

1. Shaykh Rabee'
2. Shaykh 'Ubaid
3. Shaykh Falaah Isma'eel
4. Shaykh Muhammad Ramzaan

Shadeed has wronged the Salafis with his attacks and false principles! And he has wronged himself by embracing the people of falsehood after blowing his whistle and his paradigm shift.

This brother needs to stop with the games and just retract his errors.

More scholars to speak soon on his situation and his Fitnah!!!!!!!!!

What follows in the thread below (inshaa'Allaah) are a number of statements that emanated from Shadeed Muhammad, may Allah guide him. After reading them and seeing their contradiction to the methodology of the Salaf, the noble Sheikh Muhammad Ramzaan al-Haajiree, may Allah preserve him, responded with detailed notes clarifying the errors and lies present in Shadeed's speech. From the things the Sheikh mentions is that from the speech of Shadeed is that which is in the manner of the Sururis and people of Muwaazanaat (couterbalancing between statements of praise and criticism). He also mentions that Shadeed is a liar in stating that the Prophet and companions overlooked some errors that were in contradiction to the Sunnah for the greater benefit, rather the sheikh mentions that Shadeed makes this statement so the people will overlook his own errors. He also clarifies that Shadeed is from those who is harsh against the people of the Sunnah and instead of defending them, he is with those who those who strike out at them. A translation of the Sheikh's words will be made available shortly.

Shadeed Muhammad Claims Salafiyyah is
Not a Card that will Get You into Jannah




Shadeed Muhammad said,

quote:
"We sit back and wait and see how many people gonna accept Salafiyyah.  Then boom.  There we go.  We Salafee now.  When Salafiyyah first hit, everybody stand in the back, tryin' to see, you know, how this thing gonna play itself out.  Then when people start comin' into the da'wah, okay boom, now I want to be Salafee.  And then when I come Salafee, I'm come Salafee more than everybody else, and you the last one to accept Salafiyyah!  Maashaa` Allaah, tabaarakallaah.  And that doesn't make anyone better than anybody else.  However, this is some of the things that has taken place in the past.  That doesn't make you any better than anybody else because you was the first... You should be ashamed of yourself to even say, "I brought Salafiyyah to my city," or, "I was the first Salafee in my city." That's tazkiyatun-nafs.  That's you considering yourself purified, more purer than anyone else.  And Allaahu subhaanahu wa ta'aalaa prohibits us from that, "falaa tuzakkoo anfusakum, huwa a'lamu bimanittaqaa."  "Don't purify yourselves.  Allaahu subhaanahu wa ta'aalaa knows who fears Him."  Salafiyyah is not a card that's gonna get you into Jannah."

COMMENTS:

[1]: In his usual style, Shadeed cannot hold himself back from deriding and degrading the Salafees.  This has been observed as a constant theme throughout his lectures.  Meanwhile, the sects of innovation are safe from his tongue.

[2]: When he speaks, he speaks with exaggerations, instead of observing the tafseel with which the Scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah speak.  So for example, even when you see some of the Scholars giving an advice to the Salafees to rectify a shortcoming that they have, the Scholars will never belittle Salafiyyah itself.  However, Shadeed cannot resist the chance to throw in his comment, "Salafiyyah is not a card that's gonna get you into Jannah."

[3]: Since Shadeed was not around "when Salafiyyah first hit," what is he talking about?  Which individuals and which cities is he speaking about?  Once again, this is an example of his exaggerated manner of speaking.  This manner of speaking is far removed from the tafseel that we see from the Scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah.

[4]: He says, "Salafiyyah is not a card that's gonna get you into Jannah."  So if Salafiyyah will not get you into Jannah - yaa Shadeed, then what will?  Fear Allaah and leave alone such false slogans when speaking to the common-folk.  Better yet, take the advice of Shaykh Rabee' Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee and refrain from da'wah, as he said that you are not suitable for it.

[5]: Salafiyyah will get you into Jannah.  Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez Ibn Baaz (d.1420H) was asked about the Saved-Sect, so he said: "They are the Salafees." Refer to Minhaajul-Firqatun-Naajiyah (p. 10) of Muhammad Jameel Zaynoo.

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan said,

quote:
"Salafiyyah is the Saved Sect, and they are Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah."  Refer to the cassette tape at-Tahdheer minal-Bid'ah, casstte no. 2.


Additionally, Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan was asked, "Does the correctness of a person's methodology determine Paradise or Hellfire for him?"  
So he replied,

quote:
"Yes. When a person's manhaj is correct, he becomes one of the inhabitants of Paradise. So when he is upon the manhaj of the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and the methodology of the Salafus-Saalih, he becomes one of the people of Paradise by the permission of Allaah. However, when he traverses upon the methodology of those who are astray, then he has been threatened with Hellfire." Refer to al-Ajwibatul-Mufeedah (p. 125).


So this is what we see from the Scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah.  Salafiyyah is the methodology of the Saved-Sect.  And we see Shadeed contradicting this speech with his gross exaggeration, "Salafiyyah is not a card that will get you into Jannah."

[6]: Observe - noble reader - that the speech of the Scholars about Salafiyyah conveys a tone of praise and encouragement.  All we have seen Shadeed do is criticize and belittle, not just the Salafees, but Salafiyyah itself, as he has done in this statement.

[7]: It is important to note that even when the Scholars wish to make a statement about those who abuse the term, "Salafiyyah," they do it with the proper tafseel (elaboration), so as not to confuse the common folk.  For example, take a look the statement of Imaam Ibnul-'Uthaymeen (d.1421H),

quote:
"Indeed, we praise Allaah the Glorified and Exalted for facilitating our brother, Dr. Rabee' Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee to visit this region.  So that the one to whom certain matters are not apparent may come to know that our brother, may Allaah grant us and him success, is upon Salafiyyah, the way of the Salaf. And I do not mean here that Salafiyyah is a hizb (party) which is set up to oppose the Muslims outside of it, but I mean by Salafiyyah, that he (i.e. Shaykh Rabee') is upon the path of the Salaf in his manhaj. Especially in the field of actualising Tawheed and throwing aside what opposes this."


[url=http://www.sunnahpublishing.net/audio/uthayminpraiseforrabi.mp3]Click here to listen to the audio[/url]


So even though Shaykh Ibnul-'Uthaymeen mentioned that there are those who make Salafiyyah into a hizb, he still showed the honour that is due to the correct methodology by clarifying that Salafiyyah is the way of the Salaf.  He did not speak about Salafiyyah in a derogatory manner like Shadeed, "Salafiyyah is not a card that's gonna get you into Jannah."  And then the Shaykh mentioned the example of someone who is upon the correct Salafiyyah that he was referring to, namely Shaykh Rabee'.  This is the same Shaykh Rabee' whose advice to refrain from da'wah Shadeed has not heeded!  And refuge is sought from Allaah.

We ask you - yaa Shadeed - who from the Scholars has preceded you in your statement, "Salafiyyah is not a card that's gonna get you into Jannah."?  Imaam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal (d.241H) said,

quote:
"You should beware of speaking about an issue in which you are not preceded by a Scholar." Refer to I'laamul-Muwaqqi'een (4/266) of Ibnul-Qayyim.


So we are waiting - yaa Shadeed - for you to provide us with an aayah from the Qur`aan, or an authentic hadeeth, or a statement from the Salafus-Saalih, or the name of the Scholar of Ahlus-Sunnah - past or present - who preceded you in your statement, "Salafiyyah is not a card that's gonna get you into Jannah."  And if you cannot provide one, then it is upon you to openly retract this statement and proclaim that Salafiyyah is the 'aqeedah and the methodology of the Saved-Sect that will be in Paradise!

Where is Shadeed Muhammad's
Objection to the Movie Being Promoted by His Masjid?
How Does This Fit in with the "Community-Building"
That He Claims to Do?




Shadeed wrote in his "Paradigm Shift" article, whilst speaking about his going out to the cinema,

quote:
The other incident that took place while I was in Tobago, one which I make no excuses for and one which I am utterly ashamed of, is that I took my family to the movies. I realize that this was inappropriate...


And he wrote,

quote:
As for myself, I sincerely apologize to the brothers and sisters I have hurt in all of this. I am far from perfect...


And he wrote,

quote:
I don't want the people using the situation surrounding me as an excuse to be negligent regarding the rights of their Lord over them. Use this situation to make you a stronger slave of Allah...


And now we see the masjid, at which he is the Imaam, is advertising the movie, "Mooz-Lum" and its opening in Philadelphia :



Then they are advertising - in their newsletter - a preview and viewing of a trailer at a Kebab House!  They say the Muslim director/producer will be there.  Allaahul-Musta'aan!



Where is the inkaarul-munkar (objecting to evil) yaa Shadeed?  Why can you only write against the Salafees and not speak out publicly against the corruption from the masjid at which you have taken the Imaam-job?  And refuge is sought with Allaah.

Shadeed Muhammad's Belittlement of those who Teach the Qur`aan and Usooluth-Thalaathah and his Belittlement of those who Teach and Give Importance to the 'Aqeedah and Proof of his Lack of Understanding of the Importance of the Islaamic Creed


Prepared by Anwar Wright




Shadeed Muhammad says:

quote:
Unless we start to encourage the brothers, as well as the sisters to start educating themselves, to start going to college and getting degrees and getting careers. Looking at the types of careers out there, that are, you know careers that are never ending careers like the IT field, technology field. And in most of the inner cities man, subhaanallaah, they offer free programs, but you find the brothers and sisters... We don't find that type of encouragement coming from the du'aat, coming from the Imaams. We don't hear that encouragement for the people to go to college, for the people to get degrees for the people to get skills, trades. Where is that encouragement coming from? All we hear is the encouragement to memorize the Qur`aan, to memorize Usooluth-Thalaathah, take from the Scholars. Na'm, all of that has its place, but what about the economic affairs we're suffering from now. Salafee masjids closing down because we don't have sufficient funds.

Shadeed also says:

quote:
That was the social ills of this community.  While we tend to just kind of overlook these things and you know, focus more on Tawheed, focus more on teaching classes and that's it and not dealing with this aspect.  We have brothers and sisters who suffer from a variety of social ills. Domestic ills, you have domestic violence in our community. Brothers have a problem with putting their hands on women. You have sisters who subconsciously like for men to put their hands on them so they provoke the man to put their hands on them because they...[words unclear] All of these issues exist in our communites and you're not going to...[scoffs]... you're not going to address those issues just by teaching Kitaabut-Tawheed. You're not going to address these issues by teaching Usooluth-Thalaathah. That only covers one aspect of your role as a leader in the community.

Shadeed also says:

quote:
But the majority is doing what? The majority is doing what? Sitting back memorizing - maashaa` Allaah tabaarakallaah - we not going to be able to keep the lights on because you memorized Thalaathatul-Usool, and that's not downplaying Thalaathatul-Usool, but that's also doing exactly what the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) encouraged us to, encouraged us to do. Be self sufficient. You can't be self-sufficient, we can't be Salafee and...and be self sufficient from the hizbees and self-sufficient from the kuffaar. Wallaahi, we're a minority amongst a minority.  As Salafees we are a minority amongst the Muslims who are a minority living in the lands of the kuffaar. But where is, where is the encouragement to get an education? Where is the encouragement for brothers to go out, brothers, you have brothers...Wallaahil-'Adheem, you have brothers who will not take a job because he will not take off his thawb.

Shadeed also says:

quote:
We are the ones who have made the Religion so difficult. And in the midst of us putting all this information out there, we are losing the..just the, the, the very basics of the Religion, the very basics of the Religion. We've taken Usooluth-Thalaathah and turned it into, you know what I'm saying, something that takes us months, maybe even take us a year to complete; Usooluth-Thalaathah, the three questions, three fundamental principles, extracted from the three questions that will be asked to you in the grave.  Who is Your Lord?  What is Your Deen? And Who is your Messenger? Those three questions, something very basic, very simple. You find the Scholars come behind and they go into so much detail, I mean, Wallaahi, I've seen Usooluth-Thalaathah explained, explained in a week. And of course this is more of the older Scholars because they not going into all those details. And of course, this is more of the older Scholars, because they're not going into all those details.  Shaykh Ibn Baaz - rahimahullaahu ta'aalaa - is not going into any detail.  He's going to explain to you what Tawheed is, he is going to explain to you who the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) is and what our... and what his rights over us areand he's going to explain to us in general the pillars of Islaam, which clarify the Deen of Allaahu subhaanahu wa ta'aalaa.

We say, Subhaanallaah! What is Shadeed's grudge with Thalaathatul-Usool??? Here Shadeed finds the Imaams and du'aat blameworthy for encouraging the Muslims to memorize the Book of Allaah and Usooluth-Thalaathah and not encouraging them to get degrees. Does he also criticize the great Scholars of Islaam as well who have written numerous works on Islaamic creed, tafseer, hadeeth and other subjects but did not mention worldly degrees?

He also insinuates that the reason for the lights being shut off in the Masaajid and their closing is because people are sitting back memorizing Usooluth-Thalaathah. Where is the  reality of this individuals speech??!! By Allaah, we challenge him to name these Salafee masjids that have been closed down. This is another example of his gross exaggeration. In actual fact- And all praise is due to Allaah, the number of Masaajid upon the Sunnah is increasing and not decreasing.

Has he become so deceived with the dunyaa and obtaining worldly degrees that it has led him to wrongfully criticize those who encourage the memorization of the Book of Allaah and the 'aqeedah of Tawheed, which is the wisdom behind the creation of the Jinn and mankind?

Firstly, as for you belittling the memorization of Qur`aan, has not Allaah the Mighty and Majestic said:

 Al-Isra (17):9
Åöäøó åóÜÐóÇ ÇáúÞõÑúÂäó íöåúÏöí áöáøóÊöí åöíó ÃóÞúæóãõ æóíõÈóÔøöÑõ ÇáúãõÄúãöäöíäó ÇáøóÐöíäó íóÚúãóáõæäó ÇáÕøóÇáöÍóÇÊö Ãóäøó áóåõãú ÃóÌúÑðÇ ßóÈöíÑðÇ

Verily, this Qur'ân guides to that which is most just and right and gives glad tidings to the believers (in the Oneness of Allâh and His Messenger, Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam), etc.). who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a great reward (Paradise).



Was it not authentically reported that the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:

quote:
The best of you are those who learn the Qur`aan and teach it.


Did he (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) not used to say during the Khutbatul-Haajah:

quote:
And indeed the best speech is the speech of Allah.


So where is the blame in encouraging the Muslims to memorize the the Qur`aan whether they mention worldly degrees besides this or not?

Furthermore we have not heard any of the du'aat warning against obtaining worldly degrees in those matters that are a necessity to benefit the Muslim Ummah. Rather, no one denies that we need Muslims who have degrees in various fields for the benefit of the Muslim communities. However, this does not take precedence over learning the 'aqeedah and learning Tawheed, so that one may know its opposite, which is Shirk, to be warned from it and stay away from it.

Secondly, it is possible that Shadeed continues to make these general and blanket statements due to his lack of communication with the Imaams and callers that he consistently scorns and looks down upon.

There is a section on Salafitalk about hijrah and in it there is a post about getting degrees and how to obtain degrees online and through distance learning. [url=http://salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=27&Topic=9834]Here's the link on Salafitalk.[/url]


This was posted in 2009!!  We mention to you the well known principle: "Absence of knowledge does not necessitate a thing's absence." And just because Shadeed didn't know that we have been discussing these matters does not mean we were not, and here is a clear example we have!

We also would like to make mention that if one must obtain a worldly degree, it must be through proper means (like independent study) that avoid impermissible intermingling. You also find that in these universities there are many things that are taught that oppose the beliefs of the Muslims from Polytheism to Atheism to Darwinism, Philosophy etc. And there is no question that the average Muslim's belief can be corrupted by these teachings and may cause many to go astray. So for example, in a biology class, they teach that Evolution is a fact and that Creationism is a myth. Imagine the common Muslims being bombarded with these teachings on a daily basis in the university without Islamic knowledge to counter and protect them from the falsehood!

Related to this topic is that which was mentioned by al-'Allaamah Saalih al-Fawzaan - may Allaah preserve him - in his explanation of Usooluth-Thalaathah pg. 19 ( Mu`assasatul Risaalah print):

quote:
And as for worldly knowledge, whoever is ignorant of it does not incur sin, and whoever learns it then it is permissible and if he benefits with this knowledge the Ummah then he is rewarded for that. And if a person dies and is ignorant of this knowledge, he will not be called to account on the day of resurrection, however whoever dies and he is ignorant of the legislative knowledge, especially the necessary knowledge (i.e. the 'aqeedah), he will be asked about this on the Day of Resurrection. Why didn't you learn? Why didn't you ask? The one who says when he is put in his grave: my Lord is Allaah and Islam is my Religion, and my Prophet is Muhammad (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam). This is the one who will be saved, and it will be said to him: where did you get this from? He will say: I read the book of Allaah and I learned it.


Lastly, there is  a hadeeth reported with the wording:

quote:
Verily, Allaah hates the one who walks boastfully and is harsh, the one who raises his voice in the marketplace about worldly matters, a corpse at night (i.e. sleeps through the night and doesn't rise for the night Prayer) and brays like a donkey during the day, knowledgeable about the worldly affairs, ignorant about the affairs of the hereafter.


Shaykh al-Albaanee - may Allaah have mercy on him - initially found this hadeeth to be authentic and then declared it to be weak, but comments on the narration by saying:

quote:
"And how great does this hadeeth apply - even though it is weak - on the kuffaar who do not give importance to their Hereafter, although having knowledge of the affairs of their dunyaa. Just as Allaah says regarding them: "They know that which is apparent from the worldly life, and they are unmindful of the Hereafter." Also you find that some Muslims have a great portion of this description. Those who spend their day walking through the marketplaces and screaming therein, and they neglect the obligations and Prayers.
  Al-Ma'un (107):4-7
Ýóæóíúáñ áøöáúãõÕóáøöíäó  ¤  ÇáøóÐöíäó åõãú Úóä ÕóáóÇÊöåöãú ÓóÇåõæäó  ¤  ÇáøóÐöíäó åõãú íõÑóÇÄõæäó  ¤  æóíóãúäóÚõæäó ÇáúãóÇÚõæäó  ¤ 

So woe unto those performers of Salât (prayers) (hypocrites), Who delay their Salât (prayer) from their stated fixed times, Those who do good deeds only to be seen (of men), And refuse Al-Mâ'ûn (small kindnesses e.g. salt, sugar, water, etc.).

See Silsilatud-Da'eefah no. 2304.


As for you belittling Usooluth-Thalaathah and criticizing the Scholars, claiming we have turned it into something that takes months or even a year to complete and that it is something very basic and simple and you've seen it taught in a week - we say: this statement along with your insinuation that the Imaams and callers are blameworthy for not encourage towards the obtainment of worldly degrees the same kind encouragement they give to the memorization of the Qur`aan and Usooluth-Thalaathah, and also your position that learning the likes of this book and also Kitaabut-Tawheed are not enough to correct the ills of society or will not keep our children off the street corners.

Verily these statements of yours reminds us of the statement of Muhammad Suroor Zainul-'Aabideen - may Allaah guide him - who said:

quote:
"Our era is in need of new solutions and the style of the books of 'Aqeedah are (jaafah) dry and dull because its just texts and rulings."


Dear readers, look at how Shadeed's statement coincides with Muhammad Suroor's statement that both indicate, that the books of 'Aqeedah will not rectify the ills of present day society, and that we need new solutions!!!!! Wallaahi, that which corrected the early generations was Tawheed and no doubt it is the only thing that will correct the latter generations. Imaam Maalik, -may Allaah have mercy on him- said:

quote:
The latter part of this Ummah will not be rectified except with that which rectified its beginning."


And indeed  the scholars have refuted Muhammad Suroor and this statement of his. From them Shaykh Muhammad Amman al-Jaamee - may Allaah have mercy on him- and Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan - may Allaah preserve him.

Shaykh Saalih al Fawzaan answers when asked about Suroor's statement:

quote:
"There are people who have asceticism when it comes to teaching 'aqeedah and they abstain from the books of the Salaf and they abstain from the books of the Imams of Islam. And they want to turn the people to their own works and books and those like them from the ignorant and the callers to misguidance. This person is from the callers to misguidance and we ask Allah for the well being. So it is a must that this book of his (Manhajul-Anbiyaa` fid-Da'wah ilallaah) be warned against and we warn against him. And I mention to you that Shaykh Muhammad Amman al Jaamee - may Allaah have mercy on him- filled an entire tape surrounding this statement "the books of 'aqeedah are (merely) text and rulings." He refuted him extensively, so upon you is to find the tape and spread it amongst the Muslims so they may be warned from this evil..."
See al-Ajwibatul Mufeedah by Shaykh Fawzaan, question number 28.

We ask Shadeed, how many Scholars have given importance to the extraordinary work Usooluth-Thalaathah by the Imaam of Da'wah Shaykh Muhammad Ibn 'Abdul-Wahhaab - may Allaah have mercy on him? From them are Shaykh Ibn Baaz and Shaykh 'Uthaymeen and Shaykh Saalih al Fawzaan and Shaykh Ahmad an Najmee and Shaykh Muhammad Amaan al-Jaamee and Shaykh Ubayd al-Jaabiree and Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhlaee - May Allah have mercy on those who have passed and preserve those still amongst us. Why did they give great importance to this book? It is because they know that the most noble of affairs is the affair of Tawheed, which is the right of Allaah upon His slaves?

Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhalee - may Allaah preserve him - mentions in the  introduction of his explanations  to Usooluth-Thalaathah,

quote:
"And the foremost of affairs to be given importance to in a complete manner in this affair of Tawheed is what was authored by this great Imaam, Usooluth-Thalaathah, due to it entailing the important foundations of the Religion and great and priceless principles, supported by the Book and Sunnah. And it is easy for the beginner to memorize and the one who isn't a beginner is not exempt from taking understanding from it. And even if it may be small in size, its meaning is very vast." Refer to Tareequl-Wusool (p. 14) of Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhalee.


As for your statement,

quote:
"You find the scholars come behind and they go into so much detail. I've seen it explained in a week."


Look how Shadeed finds blame in the Scholars who go into detail in teaching Usooluth-Thalaathah, which entails the foundations of the Religion. This is another aspect of his profound ignorance and also his disrespect for the Scholars. How many of the Scholars past and present that have authored books or have written many pages surrounding one hadeeth. An example of this is Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah's explanation of the hadeeth, "O my slaves, verily I have made oppression forbidden upon myself," and Aboo Amr al-Madeenee's (d.333H) explanation of the hadeeth, "May Allaah illuminate the face of the one who hears my statementý" And Shaykh 'Abdul-Muhsin al-'Abbaad has a lengthy  explanation of the same hadeeth. Also Shaykh 'Abdul-Muhsin's explanation of the hadeeth of Jibreel. Also, see at-Tabaraanee's gathering of the paths of the hadeeth, "Whoever lies upon me intentionally." Also, see as Suyootee's gathering of the paths of the hadeeth, "Seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim." And what about Ibn Rajab's explanation of the hadeeth, "No two hungry wolves amongst a flock of sheep..." regarding the blameworthiness of seeking wealth and status, which was translated by our brother Daawood Burbank, and what about Ibn Rajab's explanation of the hadeeth, "I have been sent with the sword before the coming of the hour?" Do you blame all of these Imaams of going into "so much detail" in explaining just one hadeeth? So what about if the Scholar is explaining a matn and the matn is surrounding the affairs of 'aqeedah??

As for your statement:

quote:
"I've seen it explained in a week."


If we submit for argument sake that you did witness this for example during some of the dawraat (seminars) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia which are held during the breaks, even with this you almost always hear the Scholars when explaining books at these dawraat mention that the time allotted for these seminars are not enough and it is only intended that the student of knowledge obtains some benefit and a general understanding of the book. However, as for giving the book the detailed explanation it deserves, then no. Then more importantly we know that the Scholars teach the students in accordance to their levels. So is the level of the common folk here in America the same as students of knowledge who study in Saudia???? So this is another example of  how Shadeed belittles teaching Tawheed and him mocking the Scholars who nurture the Ummah upon these books.

Our noble brother Abul Hasan Maalik on his journey to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia this past summer met with Shaykh Rabee' - may Allaah preserve him - in his house and he asked Abul-Hasan what he was teaching the Muslims in America. Abul-Hasan replied that he was teaching Imam an-Nawawee's Forty Hadeeth and al-Kabaa`ir (Major Sins) by adh-Dhahabee. Upon hearing this, the Shaykh stopped Abul-Hasan and said:

quote:
"Is this it? You should also be teaching the people the treatises of 'aqeedah and Tawheed."


Shaykh Saalih al Fawzaan-May Allah preserve him- was asked in al-Ajwibatul-Mufeedah question 34: "You find many of the youth in these times neglecting and abandoning learning 'aqeedah, studying it and giving importance to it, and busying themselves with other matters so what is your advice to these youth?"

The Shaykh answered:

quote:
"Verily, I advise the youth and other than them from the Muslims to firstly give importance to the 'aqeedah before everything because 'aqeedah is the foundation which all actions are built upon in regards to being accepted or rejected. And if the 'aqeedah is correct, in accordance to what the Messengers ('alayhimus-salaam) was sent with and in particular the Last of the Prophets, our Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam), then the rest of the actions will be accepted if these actions are sincerely seeking the face of Allaah and in accordance to what Allaah and His Messenger legislated. And if the 'aqeedah is corrupt or misguided by being based on customs and blind following of forefathers or is an 'aqeedah based on Shirk, then the actions will be rejected and none of them will be accepted, even if a person was sincere seeking thereby the face of Allah. This is because Allah does not accept any deeds except that which is sincerely seeking His Glorious Face and in accordance with the Sunnah of His Messenger (sallallaahu 'alahyi wa sallam). So whoever would like savior for himself and wants their actions to be accepted and wants to be a true Muslim, he has to give importance to the 'aqeedah. That he knows the correct 'aqeedah and that which opposes it and contradicts it so he can build his actions upon that. And this only occurs by learning it from the people of knowledge and the people of insight who have learned it from the Salaf of this Ummah. He The Most High and Exalted said to His Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam):

 Muhammad (47):19
ÝóÇÚúáóãú Ãóäøóåõ áóÇ Åöáóåó ÅöáøóÇ Çááøóåõ æóÇÓúÊóÛúÝöÑú áöÐóäÈößó æóáöáúãõÄúãöäöíäó æóÇáúãõÄúãöäóÇÊö æóÇááøóåõ íóÚúáóãõ ãõÊóÞóáøóÈóßõãú æóãóËúæóÇßõãú

So know (O Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)) that Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), and ask forgiveness for your sin, and also for (the sin of) believing men and believing women. And Allâh knows well your moving about, and your place of rest (in your homes).





Lastly I would like to refute Shadeed's claim,

quote:
"We cannot be Salafee and be self sufficient from the hizbees and kuffaar."


Has Shadeed forgotten the well known mutawaatir hadeeth in which the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) states:

quote:
"There will not cease to be a group from my Ummah victorious upon the truth, those who oppose them or forsake them will not harm them until the command of Allah is established."


'Alee Ibnul-Madeenee (D.234H) said:

quote:
"They are Ahlul-Hadeeth and those who stick close to the statements of the Messenger and defend the knowledge. If it wasn't for them you would not find amongst the Mu'tazilah, the Raafidah, the Jahmiyyah, the people of al-Irjaa` and opinion, having anything from the narrations.


And Imaam al-Bukhaaree (d.256H) said:

quote:
"We were three or four on the doorstep of 'Alee Ibnul-Madeenee and he said: Verily I hope that the explanation of this hadeeth from the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam), "There will not cease to be a group from my Ummah victorious upon the truth, those who oppose them or forsake them will not harm them," verily I hope that the explanation of this hadeeth means you (i.e. meaning al-Bukhaaree and those with him and Ahlul-Hadeeth), because the merchants have become busy with their trading and the people of trades have become busying with their trades , and the kings have become busy with their kingdom, and you love the Sunnah of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam)." Refer to Sharaf Ashaabul Hadeeth by Khateeb Baghdaadee.



So where are you - O Shadeed - from the way of the Salaf from the Sahaabah and those who followed them in goodness up until this day?  How far removed are you from that which they were upon! Due to this we will continue to warn the people from your misguidance, so as not to become victim to your corrupt teachings and philosophies. It is clear that Shadeed does not understand the way to achieve rectification according to Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah, may Allaah guides us and him to the truth.

Clarification Concerning the 'Aqeedah and the Manhaj of the Salaf - Our brother Abul-Hasan Maalik reads from the book, al-Mawrid, of the noble Scholar, al-'Allaamah Ahmad Ibn Yahyaa an-Najmee - rahimahullaah - to clarify what the Salaf of this Ummah were upon in terms of 'aqeedah (belief) and manhaj (methodology).  Included within this lecture is a warning against some of the errors of Shadeed Muhammad - may Allaah return him to the truth - such as, his claim that the Sahaabah differed in 'aqeedah, his comparison of Jamaa'atut-Tableegh with the Salafees and more...
