Bazat e Menhexhit Selefi dhe
ata që i kundërshtojnë ata
Shejkh Ahmed ibn Umar Bazmul hafidhehUllah.
Një ligjëratë vendimtare dhe shumë e rëndësishme për të kuptuar
e sidomos në kohën tonë kur njerëzit e bidatit janë vërsulur kundër Ehlus
Sunnetit nga të gjitha anët për ti përçarë ata. (A) Cilat janë Parimet e
Metodologjisë Selefije (Usul) - (B) Si mund të kundërshtohet ai i që i
kundërshton dhe u kundërvihet atyre dhe çfarë janë lojërat e tyre.
Shejkhu hafidhehUllah thotë se:
Kush thotë se Metodologjia e Selefëve nuk është kusht .... kush
e thotë këtë, ai do që ti devijojë njerëzit nga e vërteta dhe ti largojë ata
nga Dijetarët .... padyshim se ai hedh themele për devijim. "
"Kështu që kini kujdes o robër të Allahut, Allahu ju
bekoftë, kini kujdes prej këtyre individëve që i thërrasin njerëzit me forma të
tilla devijimi, dhe më fatkeqësisht ka të tillë prej tyre që u bëjnë thirrje
njerëzve me këtë devijim, dhe ata u përshkruhet atyre si 'Selefi', dhe nga
pamja e jashtme u shfaqen si Sunetli apo si njerëz që e dojnë Sunnetin, sa i
çuditshëm dhe sa i madh është ky ekstrem, sa i madh është ky komplot nga njerëzit
e bidatit dhe dëshirave, ata kurrë nuk janë të kënaqur me bidatin dhe devijimit
e tyre, deri atëherë sa të hyjnë (depërtojnë) në radhët (mesin) e Selefëve
(Ehlus Sunnetit) dhe ti përçajnë dhe devijojnë ata larg nga e vërteta dhe larg
prej asaj që i Dërguari i Allahut sal-lAllahu alejhi ue sel-lem, erdhi me të si
dhe prej saj që Sahabët radija_Allahu anhu, ishin mbi të. "

Indeed all the Praise is for Allaah. We praise Him and we seek His Aid and we
seek His Forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil that resides
within our souls and from the consequences of our own evil actions. Whosoever
Allaah Guides, there is none that can misguide him and whosoever Allaah
Misguides, there is none to guide him aright. And i bear witness that none has
the right to be worshipped except Allaah, who is One without any partners, and
i bear witness that Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam is the servant and
Messenger of Allaah.
Indeed the best speech is the speech of Allaah and the best
guidance is the guidance of Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam. And
the worst of all matters in the religion are the newly invented matters, for
every newly invented matter is an innovation, and every innovation is a going
astray, and every going astray is in the hellfire.
It has been authentically narrated from the
Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam that he said,
“Islaam began as something strange and it shall return to being something
strange just as it began so at-tooba is for the strangers.”
This hadeeth is magnificent. In it, the
Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, informs that at the inception of
al-Islaam, and its early stages, it began as being something extremely strange
due to the small number of its followers, and the small number of its helpers,
and the small number of those who established it. Then, Allaah established
al-Islaam and increased its followers and they spread throughout the earth and
they had strength and domination; however, due to an affair which Allaah wills
from the perspective of tests, the strangeness will return.
And the followers of the truth will be few, and its helpers will
be few, and the opposers will increase. Likewise, will increase those who
forsake them and those who wage war against the truth with which the Prophet
has come, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam. That which is evident from the
legislative texts is that the truth with which the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi
wa sallam came with is strange with the emergence of tribulations and when
they become thick (???) [unintelligible/cut off].
The Salafus-Saalih, may Allah’s Pleasure be upon them, during
the times of the Imaams of the Atbaa' at-Tabi’een and thereafter, embraced this
strangeness and they cultivated their students upon it. So what do we say with
regards to these later times? No doubt the strangeness therein is severe. This
is because it is important from the establishment of The Hour. The Hour will
not be established except upon the most wicked of the creation and it will not
be established except upon a people who do not know anything from their
religion except the statement “Allaah! Allaah!” This strangeness, as it relates
to the followers of the truth, they are the foremost in knowing this matter. So
they have no fear, nor any reservations or doubts regarding the truth which
they traverse upon.
So the individual who is a true Salafee traverses upon this
clear path even if no one accompanies him. As Ibn Mas’ood, radiyallaahu
'anhusaid,
“The truth is the jamaa’ah even if you are alone.”
So give glad tidings to the strangers, the People of Truth — those who cling to
it and traverse upon it with the statement of Mustafa, sallallaahu 'alayhi
wa sallam, in this hadeeth. “Tooba is for them. At-Tooba is for the
strangers.” At-Tooba is a supplication for entrance into Paradise and that they
acquire the great reward with Allaah the Mighty and Majestic, and there is
another glad tiding from the Prophet,sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, when he
said,
“There will come a time wherein the one who is patient upon his religion is
like one holding on to hot embers.”
The one who is patient upon his religion receives and enormous reward with
Allah the Mighty and Majestic, similar to the reward of fifty men.
So why this great reward: It is due to the abundance of
tribulation and the abundance of those who block him from the truth. Those who
try to divert him from this truth so they mock at them because they are strange
because they warn against the people of innovation and desires and they clarify
their deviation just as the scholars clarify it. And may Allaah have mercy upon
those who are dead from them and preserve those who are alive.
Moreover, within these times and within these days, there stands
before us some of those people who ascribe to the Sunnah and they outwardly
manifest the Sunnah while he cons with some false principles and corrupt usool
(foundations). And he comes maligning the scholars of sunnah in the name of the
sunnah! This is in effect of this extreme strangeness, and an effect of this fitnah
which spreads like a dark night. A man is upon the sunnah in the morning and by
the evening he is upon innovation and misguidance. Or, he is upon the sunnah in
the evening and by the morning he is upon innovation and misguidance except for
he upon whom Allaah has mercy and protects from this misguidance. The
strangeness is with the people of truth. If there is strangeness, it is not
except with Ahlus-Sunnah.
With the truth which they traverse upon and follow, they are diligent regarding
that which they know Allaah has promised them from the reward that is with Him
on the Day of Judgment. They are diligent because they know that they, by the
Permission of Allah the Mighty and Majestic, on the Day of Judgment, the Day
they are resurrected, they will be among st the Prophets, the
Truthful, the Martyrs and the Righteous. They will be among st the
Salaf as-Saalih, may Allaah’s Pleasure be upon them, in Paradise by the
Permission of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic. Rather, it is as the Companion
has said,
“I don’t care as long as i die as a Muslim in which place for the
Sake of Allaah, i meet my demise. That is up to Allaah if He so Wills.”
Meaning
as long as i am killed for Allaah, for the sake of Allaah in Allaah’s Path,
then i don’t care when it happens nor will i be sad because i know that the
reward with Allaah is magnificent. That the dunya is transient, fleeting, lowly
— it has no value. I am purchasing that which is with Allaah. I desire that
which is with Allaah and i desire the companionship of the Prophet sallallaahu
'alayhi wa sallam and the companionship of his Sahaba, may Allaah’s
Pleasure be upon them, and the companionship of the Imaams of the Sunnah.
Therefore, i am Salafee: I cling to this Truth and i am never
absolved from it. We all know the hadeeth of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam….The narration of Urbaa' Ibn Saariyyah, radiyallaahu 'anhu, when the
Prophet ssallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam was advising his Companions, he,
'alayhi salaatu was-salaam said, while advising his Companions, as is come in
the hadeeth of Urbaa' Ibn Saariyyah, wherein he said:
“Allaah’s Messenger, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, admonished us with
an eloquent admonition such that the hearts trembled and the eyes shed tears.
We said ‘O messenger of Allaah, it is as if it is the admonition of one who is
bidding farewell, so advise us.’ He, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said, ‘I
advise you to have taqwaa of Allaah. And i advise you with hearing and obeying
even if a slave is appointed as a ruler over you, for indeed he who lives from
amongst you, he will see much differing. So upon you is my Sunnah and the
Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Khulafaa. Cling to it and bite on to it with your
molar teeth and beware of newly invented matters, for every newly invented matter
is an innovation, and every innovation is a going astray, and every going
astray is in the Hellfire.’”
The implication from this hadeeth is tremendous! We want to
review it briefly, and we say, we observe firstly how the Companions, may
Allaah’s Pleasure be upon them, sought from the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam to advise them and that he clarified for them, 'alayhi salaatu
was-salaam, with a comprehensive advice that which was good for them. This is
the state of the Muslim, thus it is the state of the one who clings to the
Truth that he be diligent upon the good and that he ask about it. His main concern
is not the tribulations and problems nor is his main concern the Dunya and that
which it contains of pastimes rather they live in this dunya while they know
that their journey is to Allaah.
So they sought advice, they didn't seek money nor did
they seek advice regarding worldly affairs. So the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi
wa sallam, advised them with a comprehensive advice. Within this advice were
the taqwa of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic. It is something which is strange.
The one who is a stranger within this dunyaa is in need of having taqwaa of
Allaah the Mighty and Majestic, to be firm upon the truth and to not incline
towards wealth or towards fitan and that one’s heart does not absorb the doubts
and desires and he sells his religion for a worldly gain. He has taqwa of
Allaah and is truthful both in secret and in the open; taqwa of Allaah – by
holding fast to the scholars of the Sunnah, loving them, returning to them for
fataawa, honouring and respecting them and clinging to the manhaj of the Salaf
as-Saalih, may Allaah’s Pleasure be upon them.
I advise you with taqwa of Allaah and to hear and obey and not
differ and have dissension and causing fitan and spilling blood. And i advise
you as well with the preservation of safety and security, that which one has
the ability to do and staying far away from trouble, that which is apparent
from it and that which is hidden. That is known from his statement, alayhi
salaatu was-salaam :
“Indeed he who lives among st you will see much
differing, differing from that which i came with from guidance and the truth.”
This is the affair of the people after the Companions. As for the Companions
themselves, may Allaah’s Pleasure be upon them, all of them are upright and all
of them are trustworthy and all of them are truthful and noble and no one
reviles a single one of them except a deviant innovator. One who has deviated
from the path of truth astray from the path of guidance, for all of the
Companions are upright; however, after the Companions there occurred fitna and
the People of Knowledge have said that after the time of ‘Uthmaan fitan became
manifest.
“For indeed he who lives after me from among st you
shall see much differing, differing from that which i came with from guidance,
and eemaan, and beneficial knowledge, and righteous actions.”
So the differing is not at the establishment of the Hour, the
differing will come early. Innovations and misguidance will come early, due to
this it is obligatory upon the Muslim to acquire knowledge and that he hold fast
to the Salafee methodology, to the Book and the Sunnah, and that he refer to
the Salafi scholars.
And the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam he said:
"For indeed he from amongst you who lives after me will see
much differing. ‘So what is the way out, O Messenger of Allaah?’ He said, ‘upon
you is to cling to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided
Khulafaa."
Not only the Sunnah of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam, rather the Sunnah of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam is a
must and the guidance of the Salaf as-Saalih, may Allaah’s Pleasure be upon
them, is a must. As for the one who says today that the Book and the Sunnah are
a foundation whereas the Way of the Salaf as-Saalih is not a foundation then
this is the statement of a deviant innovator. For the Prophet, sallallaahu
'alayhi wa sallam said, “Alaykum (displaying obligation) alaykum
bis-sunnatee, upon you is my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided
Khulafaa.” And he said when speaking about the Saved-Sect and the Victorious
Group that “They are that which my and my Companions are upon today.” Allaah
the Mighty and Majestic said. “And whoever contradicts and opposes the
Messenger after the right path has bee shown clearly to him and follows a way
other than the Way of the Believers, We will keep him in the path he has chosen
and burn him in Hell. What an evil destination.” The way of the Believers, it
is the manhaj of the Companions, may Allaah’s Pleasure be upon them, so
clinging to the understanding of the Salaf as-Saalih, may Allaah’s Pleasure be
upon them, is a must.
As for he who comes to us today and wants to call the people to
his desires and is upon whims and he says that the methodology of the Salaf is
not a requirement or that the statements of Ahlus-Sunnah is [sic] not a
requirement and they are not required to take the statements of the 'ulamaa',
the scholars of sunnah, the scholars of the methodology of the Salaf as-Saalih,
we are not required to take their statements then no doubt this is the
statement of one who is astray. It is the statement of a deviant innovator. The
one who says this wants to divert the people from the Truth. One who does not
respect the scholars of the Sunnah, nor do they return to them – he is not
guided by their guidance. No doubt he lays the foundation for misguidance and
he wants to divert the people from the truth and call the people to falsehood,
which is not distinguished except by returning to the scholars of the Sunnah.
So beware, may Allaah Bless you, of he who calls the people with the likes of
this misguidance. Unfortunately a man who calls the people with the likes of
this misguidance is a man who may be described as being Salafee, a man who may
outwardly display the Sunnah. How great is this extreme strangeness! How great
is this plot from the People of Innovation and Desires! They are not pleased
and satisfied with their innovation and misguidance until they attempt to enter
into the ranks of the Salafees and separate them from the truth and deviate
them away from that which the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, came with
and that which the Companions, may Allaah’s Pleasure be upon them, were upon.
Due to this, my brothers, the affair is great and very
dangerous. It is befitting that we are aware of it and it is befitting that we
understand and we consider to be great and that we do not make light of it and
that we are not deceived by of the statements of some of the people from those
who may have some accusations and assumptions; or, some of the people who there
is [sic] good thoughts about from some of your brothers out of kindness towards
them saying, “do not revile one another”. My brother, we do not revile them. It
is they who revile themselves by their opposition to the Truth. They are those
who revile the book and the Sunnah with this false methodology. They are those
who desire to divert the people from the Truth. How can a person of truth be
silent regarding the Truth while he has the ability to clarify it? No doubt he
is a mute devil. No doubt he will lead the people astray and he will be
questioned about this. That man who sees evil and he does not repudiate it,
even if he be a righteous man, it will be said to him, “when Allah the Mighty
and Majestic, wishes to send a punishment down upon a people he will say to the
angel ‘Begin with him’” meaning that righteous man was who
silent concerning sins and evils.
So upon you is my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided
Khulafaa. Cling to it – and here is the shaahid – bite on to it with your molar
teeth. What has prevented you? For there are those who discourage us
from it, there are those who divert us from it, there are those who seek to
make us avoid it, there are those who wish to cause us to depart from the
truth, there are those who want us to be people who change colors and
people of misguidance. That we acknowledge that which we used to reject and
that we reject that which we used to acknowledge. Shaykh Rabee’, may Allah
preserve him. Shaykh ‘Ubayd, may Allaah preserve him – Imaams of the Sunnah in
our time, likewise Shaykh Fawzaan and others like Shaykh Zayd al-Madkahlee, may
Allaah preserve all of them. They are Imaams of the Sunnah in our time. There can
be found those of the people who describe them as being harsh, they describe
them as not having intellect and they try to divert the youth from them saying
that they do not leave anyone except that they revile them. Laa illaaha illa
Allaah! How severe is this strangeness? How appropriate for us that we cling to
this Truth – to the religion of Allaah the Mighty and Majestic. His Paradise,
His Bliss, and that we be with the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs and the
Righteous.We do not have any doubt due to the small number of followers of the
truth nor are we deceived by the large number of oppose-rs rather we
are to be firm upon the Truth and seek that which is with Allaah from reward
and good. Indeed, that which is with Allaah is better and more lasting that
which is with Allaah is the permanent bliss. The Home of the Hereafter: it is
eternal. As for the dunya, it is fleeting. You deviate, oppose, take
Ahlus-Sunnah as enemies and then you enter your grave and then you are raised
up on the Day of Judgment upon destruction.
Are you pleased to be with those who oppose the people of the
truth? Are you pleased to be beside one who has opposed Allaah and His
Messenger and the Imaams of the Religion? No doubt, you will not be pleased
with this. So what is the way out – clinging to the manhaj of the Salaf
as-Saalih and to the major scholars, loving and respecting them, venerating
them, respecting the truth which they have with them, respecting the manhaj of
the Salaf as-Saalih.
Then he, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said, “beware of
newly invented matters”. Beware of new
statements, new principles, new paths, those who come to us with new ways: 'Abdul-Malik
al-Ramadhaanee, 'Abdul-'Azeez ar-Rayyis, Ibraaheem ar-Ruhaylee, Saalim
at-Taweel. Those who claim the Sunnah but they bring affairs which oppose
the manhaj of the Salaf as-Saalih. Between us and them is the Book of Allaah
and the Sunnah of the Messenger, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and the manhaj
of the Salaf as-Saalih. By Allaah, they have opposed the Sunnah of the Prophet,
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and the Manhaj of the Salaf as-Saalih in (not)
declaring the People of Innovation to be innovators and warning against them.
Due to that, O brothers, it does not benefit a person to follow personalities
and their statements nor does it benefit a person to love someone blindly even
if the people elevate him. Rather, it is as Ibn Rajab has said,
“the Truth is more beloved to us that an individual who is
venerated even if he is deemed great by his followers.”
The Truth is more beloved to us, due to that, the Companions,
some of them would refute others if they saw from them something which opposed
a statement of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam. Naturally, from that
which is known, the Companions, may Allaah’s Pleasure be upon them, did not
intentionally oppose the Sunnah of the Prophet. So if they would give a fatwaa
based on their opinion then they were informed that the Sunnah is in opposition
to it they would return to the Sunnah. As Ibn 'Abbaas, may Allaah be pleased
with him, when he answered a question concerning a type of ribaa', then it was
clarified to him so he recanted from his fatwa to the truth; thus are the
people of the truth. If the truth is clarified to them they return to it and
they follow it rather they are the first to clarify to the people that they
have made a mistake in such and such an issue.
This is in opposition to that which is seen from these people
who oppose the truth. One of them would institute false principles and you
clarify the truth to him and he will stand upon new and false affairs which he
rebuts the Truth. Laa illaaha illallaah! How severe is this strangeness! Due
to this, the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, warned against newly
invented matters, new affairs which were not present in the time of the Salaf
and the 'ulamaa ar-Rabaaniyyoon are not upon and the Imaams of the Religion are
not upon. Where did you bring this from O ('Alee
Hasan) al-Halabee? Mixing with the People of Innovation
and defending them. Where did you come from O Ibraaheem
ar-Ruhaylee? With your corrupt advice which contains
association with the people of desires in order to lead the youth astray. Where
did you come from O 'Abdul-'Azeez ar-Rayyis? With
the concept of “gentle amil” “gentle bid'ah”. Where
did you come from O so and so? The list of names is long of those who outwardly
display the Sunnah but they oppose its reality.
When the scholars of the religion in this era speak and the
students of the Sunnah speak, we find those who forsake them and those who
oppose them…the imaams of the da’wah spoke truthfully when they said, “the
People of Innovation, when they are unable to rebut the truth, and spread
falsehood, they belittle the people of goodness. They revile them and abuse
them and accuse them of evil. Aw kamaa qaalu alayhim rahmatullaah (Instead of
saying may Allaah have mercy upon them).”
Due to this my brothers, know the truth and you will know its
people. And do not connect the truth to men. The Imaams of the Religion are
well-known and if you wish to follow a way then follow the way of those who
have passed. For those who are alive are not safe from fitnah. And beware of
newly invented matters, for every newly invented matter is an innovation and every
innovation is a misguidance. These new principles are innovations and
misguidance, innovations and deviations. Due to this, the people of knowledge
take up the task of clarifying and refuting calling the individual to return to
the truth to not persist upon his falsehood and if he persists in that, they
declare him to be an innovator and astray.
Hence, once again we have returned to this strangeness.
Strangeness is as Ibnul-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, may Allaah have mercy upon him,
has said in Madaarij as-Saalikeen and has clarified with a
very beautiful clarification when he said the people of al-Islaam are strangers
amongst the people of disbelief because they are few in comparison to the
people of kufr. The people of eemaan are strangers amongst the people of
al-Islaam because the Believers are few and the Muslims are many in comparison
to them. The people of knowledge are strangers amongst the people of eemaan
because the people of knowledge are few and the people of eemaan are many in
comparison to them and perhaps the people of eemaan would oppose the people of
knowledge. The people of sunnah, who cling to it, are strangers amongst the
scholars.
How great is this advice and clarification for the state of affairs of the
people of the time in which we live? Ahlus-Sunnah are few. They manifest the
Truth. The people of innovation do not hinder them nor do the commoners hinder
them. We find those who hinder them, from the students of knowledge, and we
find those who hinder them to be from those who are opposed to the da'wah and
learning from the people of knowledge. So they describe them with evil
descriptions and evil words when they are stern against the opposers when they
refute the people of innovation, then they stand in front of Ahlus-Sunnah as
hinderers and helpers for other than them from the People of Falsehood.
Due to this my brothers, i advise you and i advise myself with
clinging to the Sunnah and acting upon it, returning to it and giving it
precedence over opinions and desires. For indeed, Islaam is the Sunnah and the
Sunnah is al-Islaam – neither of them can be established without the other, as
al-Barbahaaree has said in Sharhus-Sunnah. My brothers, i
advise you that at the end of this speech with affairs, which i ask Allaah
'Azza wa Jal, that they be a benefit for me and for you. I advise you my
brothers at the end of this speech, which i ask Allaah the Mighty and Majestic,
that it be a hujjah for us and not a hujjah against us. I advise you:
1.
Firstly, with sincerity
in actions for Allaah the Mighty and Majestic and being mindful of Allaah the
Mighty and Majestic, and to be wary of ar-riyaa' and ostentation and doing an
action of the hereafter seeking by way of that gain in the dunyaa. Some people
may do a righteous action or they may do actions which oppose the truth desiring
by way of that to please the people and some actions are done seeking something
from the dunyaa.
2.
Secondly, i advise you
with acting upon the Book and the Sunnah and the manhaj of the Salaf as-Saalih.
3.
Thirdly, i advise you
with clinging to the major Salafee scholars, in particular the scholars who are
upright and well-known for that from the likes of Shaykh Rabee' al-Madkhalee,
Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhalee, Shaykh 'Ubayd al-Jaabiree, may Allah preserve them,
and other then them from the Imaams of the Sunnah in this time.
4. Fourthly, i advise you to stay away from the people of
Innovation and to beware of them and not to mix with them. I advise you with
abandoning them to keep away from them.
5.
Fifthly, i advise you
read the books of the well-known Salafee scholars.
6. Sixthly, i advise you with love and brotherhood amongst
yourselves and leaving off disunity. And i advise you with seeking knowledge
and comprehension of the religion of Allaah and i also advise you to stay away
from fitan; that which is apparent from it and that which is hidden.
I also advise you, may Allaah bless you, with not engaging in
'he said, she said' and wasting of wealth and an abundance of questions which
are of no benefit and are about that which is a reason to divide the people. I
advise you, may Allaah bless you, to recite the Qur’aan at night and some
portions of the day. I advise you may Allaah bless you, with acting upon the
Sunnah, to learn it, to act upon it, to call to it, and to be steadfast upon
that. I ask Allah the Mighty and Majestic, to benefit us and you with that
which I say and you hear and that He make it a proof for us and not against us.
And may prayers and peace be upon the Prophet Muhammad, his family members and
his Companions altogether.
