An Advice For The People Of Palestine

By The Muhaddith, al-‘Allaamah, ash-Shaykh Rabee’ b. Haadee al-Madkhalee (hafidhahullaah)

The Future Is For Islaam

Imaam al-Albaanee rahimahullaah said: "There are other Ahaadeeth that clarify the magnitude of Islaam dominating and becoming uppermost and the extent of how far it will spread; such that it does not leave room for any doubt regarding the fact that the future is for Islaam - with the permission of Allaah and His Tawfeeq."

The Innovators Hide & Conceal Themselves Behind Prominent Scholars Whilst Not Being Upon Their Way
 
By The Muhaddith, al-‘Allaamah, ash-Shaykh Rabee’ b. Haadee al-Madkhalee (hafidhahullaah)
 
...this is one of the methods employed by the people of innovations and Fitan (strife); (which is) that they will inevitably hide and conceal themselves behind a person among the prominent figures (from Ahlus-Sunnah in order to spread and propagate their innovations).
 

The Muhaddith, al-‘Allaamah, ash-Shaykh Rabee’ b. Haadee al-Madkhalee (hafidhahullaah) mentions:

So they say: “We are students of Ibn Baaz, we are upon the Manhaj (methodology) of the Salaf (Pious Predecessors). And we are from the students of al-Albaanee, we are students of al-'Uthaymeen.” And they deceive the people into thinking that those (aforementioned) Imaams are with them, and thus they dupe and fool many from the youth with their ploys and deceptions. Those youth who love knowledge, they love the scholars, they love Islaam and they love the truth but the ploys and deceptions of those people have fooled many people and so they fall into their snares.

Hudhayfah b. al-Yamaan (radiallaahu 'anhu) mentioned that I said:

“O Messenger of Allaah, we used to be (living) in (a state of) evil and then Allaah brought us this Khayr (goodness), and we are in this (state of goodness). So will there be any evil after this good?...

Hudhayfah b. al-Yamaan (radiallaahu 'anhu) mentioned that I said:

“O Messenger of Allaah, we used to be (living) in (a state of) evil and then Allaah brought us this Khayr (goodness), and we are in this (state of goodness). So will there be any evil after this good?”
He (ﷺ) replied: “Yes.” 
I asked: “Will there be any good after that evil?”
He (ﷺ) replied: “Yes.”
I asked: “Will there be any evil after that Khayr (good)?”
He (ﷺ) replied: “Yes.”
I asked: “How (will that be)?”
He (ﷺ) replied: “There will come after me rulers who will not guide (others) by my guidance, and they will not follow my Sunnah (way); and there will be among them men whose hearts will be hearts of devils in the bodies of humans.”
I asked: “What should I do, O Messenger of Allaah, if I were to reach that?”
He (ﷺ) replied: “Hear and obey the ruler, even if your back is flogged and your wealth is taken – hear and obey.”

Reported by Muslim (no.1847).

Why Do People Attack Saudia Arabia And its Scholars?

By The Muhaddith, al-‘Allaamah, ash-Shaykh Rabee’ b. Haadee al-Madkhalee

Answer: This is a method employed by the Raafidah Shiites and their followers and allies from the people of innovations, the Munafiqoon (hypocrites), the 'ilmaaniyoon (secularists) and their ilk...

The great illustrious companion of the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) Aboo ad-Dardaa (d. 32H) radiallaahu 'anhu said:

“Indeed the beginning of a person’s hypocrisy is his Ta’n (censure and criticism) of his Imaam (ruler).”

Allaah Forgives All Sins

On the authority of 'Abdullaah b. 'Abbas (radiallaahu'anhu) that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:

« قال اللهُ تعالى: مَنْ عَلِمَ أَنِّي ذو قدرةٍ على مغفرةِ الذنوبِ غفرتُ لَهُ ولا أُبالِي، مالم يشرِكْ بي شيئًا ».

Allaah, the Most High, says:

"Whoever knows that I have the power to forgive all sins, I will forgive him and I shall not care, as long as he does not associate any partners with me."

Reported by at-Tabaraanee (11/241), al-Hakim (no.7676). Shaykh al-Albaanee declared it to be Hasan in Saheeh Jaami' as-Sagheer (no.4330).

Allaah Will Punish Them All

عن جَرِيرٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: مَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ يُعْمَلُ فِيهِمْ بِالْمَعَاصِي، هُمْ أَعَزُّ وَأَكْثَرُ مِمَّنْ يَعْمَلُهُ، ثم لَمْ يُغَيِّرُوهُ إِلَّا عَمَّهُمُ اللَّهُ تعالى منه بِعِقَابٍ.


On the authority of Jareer b. 'Abdullaah  (radiallaahu 'anhu) that the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:

"There is not a people amongst whom sins are committed, whilst they are stronger and more numerous than those who commit them, yet they do not change it (i.e. prevent them) except that Allaah, the Most High, will send His Punishment upon them all."

Reported by Imaam Ahmad in his Musnad (no.19230), Sunan Abee Dawood (no.4339), Sunan Ibn Maajah (no.4009) & others. Shaykh al-Albaanee declared it to be Saheeh in Saheeh Jaami' as-Sagheer (no.5749).

Al-Ihsaan (Benevolence) Towards Those Who Wrong You

By Imaam As-Sa'dee (rahimahullaah)

...the performance of good deeds and the acts of obedience (that are done) seeking the pleasure of Allaah, the Most High, are not equal to perpetrating evil deeds and sinning which bring about His Anger and do not please Him. And al-Ihsaan (being benevolent and kind) to the creation is not equal to acting in an evil manner towards them...

Then Allaah commands with a specific type of Ihsaan which has a great station (in Islaam), and it is to have al-Ihsaan (benevolence and kindness) to the one who acts in an evil way towards you...If he cuts relationship with you, keep ties with him. If he wrongs you, forgive and pardon him. If speaks ill of you whether that is behind your back or in your presence, then do not respond to him (in the same manner)...

A Warning & Advice To The Students Of Knowledge

Shaykh 'Abdur-Rahman b. Hasan (the grandson of Shaykhul-Islaam Muhammad b. Abdul-Wahhaab) said to some of his brothers from the students of knowledge:

So fear Allaah, and adorn yourself with the manners of knowledge, and seek after the reward from Allaah in learning knowledge and teaching it. And follow up the knowledge with action, for indeed action is the fruit of knowledge and it is a means of attaining it; as is reported in the narration: "Whoever acts in accordance to what he knows Allaah will cause him to inherit knowledge that which he did not possess (know of) before."

The Reference Point In Every Matter Of Expertise Is The Specialist

By Shaykh Rabee b. Haadee al-Madkhali (Hafidhahullaah)

The Reference Point In Every Matter Of Expertise Is The Specialist

The Muhaddith, the Mujaahid Scholar, al-‘Allaamah, ash-Shaykh Rabee’ b. Haadee al-Madkhalee (hafidhahullaah) mentions:


فما كشف عوار أهل البدع وهتك أستارهم إلا أئمة الحديث، والعلماء من فقهاء وغيرهم تبع لهم وعيال عليهم في هذا الباب العظيم؛ لأنّ هذا اختصاصهم والمعول في كل فنّ على أهله المتخصصين فيه وهذا من البدهيات عند العلماء وعقلاء البشر.


So the faults of the people of innovations were not uncovered and exposed except by the Imaams of Ahlul-Hadeeth. And as for the 'Ulamaa (Scholars) from the Fuqahaa (the Jurists) and others besides them then they would follow them and refer back to them in this great field (of knowledge of Jarh wa Ta'deel). That is due to the fact that this is their specialty, so the return or the reference point in every Fann (expertise and speciality) are the specialists in it, and this is from the most elementary and obvious matters with the scholars and the intelligent people.

Boycotting Innovators and the People of Desires

Al-Khattabee (d. 386H) - rahimahullaah - said:

“Verily Hijrah (boycotting and abandonment) of the people of desires and innovations is continuous over the passage of time; so long as they do not clearly manifest their repentance and return back to the Truth.”
