The Scholars AND the Orators

What is known from the Deen of Al Islam by necessity is that seeking knowledge is fard upon every Muslim. This seeking knowledge must be seeking the Shari’ah knowledge and must be from the anbiyaa’ (prophets) or from the juristic scholars after them. 

As the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets, the question will always be asked, who is the Faqeeh and the Aalim in the Deen? It is reported by Imam Ahmed on the authority of Ubadah ibn Saamit that the messenger (saws) said, “He is not one of us the one who does not respect the elders and is not kind and merciful to the young and who do not know the rights of the scholars.” 
The messenger (saws) in this Hadith clearly orders us to respect the ulemaa and not to prevent them from seeking their rights, such as the respect, to cover their mistakes and to prevent any harm from coming to them. In return, the role of the ulemaa – as they are the defenders of the Deen and the faith – is to protect the Deen, to preserve it’s divine text and concepts, preventing and pushing away any attempt to distort it’s milestones or suppress it’s guidance and they have a role to stand to speak the truth and challenge the falsehood without any compromise, to struggle against all evil, being concerned for the interests of the people and many other roles and duties. 

Those scholars throughout the history of the Muslim Ummah fulfilled the haqq (right) of Allah over them and the right of the knowledge upon them and also the right of the general public upon them. However nowadays, when we are so much needier than ever before for the scholars after the level of ignorance about Islam has become so widespread, it becomes essential to discover the true signs and attributes of the knowledge and scholars from the Qur’an and Sunnah and from the sayings of the Salaf. Particularly as those who claim to be scholars nowadays have become many and the measurement of the people and their judgement have been altered to a great extent until the word ‘Aalim’ has become like a joke or a toy or a slogan that has no definition and even the attribute of the Aalim has been taken away from those who are eligible for it.

Responsibility of Muslim Scholars...

“…Muslim scholars are also responsible for our ordeal and for what has afflicted Islam. They are responsible for the sins and mischief caused by the colonialists and imperialists, by the rulers and governments and by the masses who are ignorant of and rebellious against Islam. 

These scholars are worthy of such accusations because they support imperialism or at least keep silent before its violence. They occasionally support the non-Islamic rule and compromise with it at other times. They have left the masses in their ignorance of the basic principles of Islam and in their unawareness of the conspiracies forged against Islam. 

They have detached Muslims from their religion, because they failed to indicate to the masses the judgment of Islam with regard to the colonialists, imperialists, and to the governments that aid and pay allegiance to them. As a result, the Muslim masses obeyed the pro-colonialist governments. Islam has been lost due to the silence of Muslim scholars, and the masses by turn, have been put in a state of loss due to the loss of their religion. The masses might have helped in reclaiming the loss because they believed that the Muslim scholars would not approve of anything unless it was in conformity with Islamic teachings and God’s commandment. 

Muslim scholars have closed their eyes, shut their mouths and plugged their fingertips in their ears, forgetting about Islam, and they have been asleep for centuries while the Muslim people followed them in their somnolence, believing that their Islam was safe and sound, or their scholars never would have kept quiet. 

Muslim scholars for long have disregarded their Islam. They have never censured any attitude violating Islam, nor tried to repel and revoke any injunction that ran contrary to the principles of Islam. They have never even convened a meeting to encourage the reinstitution of Islam jurisprudence.

Merits of the Sahabah

Sahabi (Companion) is anyone that met the Prophet (pbuh) while believing in him, and dying upon that condition.

The Companions (Sahabah) of the Prophet (pbuh) are the best from all those that accompanied the prophets, due to the statement of Allah's Messenger (pbuh): "The best of people are my Companions." [1] 

The best among the Sahabah are the Muhajirun (those who performed the migration from Makkah to Madinah), due to their combining between migrating and giving support (in Allah's Cause). Then after them, are the Ansar.

The best among the Muhajirun are the four righteous Khalifahs: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali.

Abu Bakr - He is "As-Siddiq" 'Abdullah bin Uthman bin Amir from the Tribe of Taym bin Marrah bin Kaab. He was the first male to believe in the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). He was his companion in the migration (Hijrah) and his deputy during times of prayer and Hajj. He was his Khalifah (designated successor) for his nation. Five of those who were given the glad tidings of Paradise accepted Islam through his hands. 

They are Uthman, Az-Zubair, Talha, Abd-ur-Rahman bin Awf and Saad bin Abi Waqqas. He died in Jumadal-Al-Akhirah, in the 13th year of Hijrah, when he was 63 years old. The above five along with Abu Bakr, Ali bin Abi Talib and Zayd bin Harithah form the eight that were the first of people to accept Islam. Ibn Ishâq stated this and what he meant by it, was that they were the first from amongst the males, after (the advent of) the Message.

Unity between Ahlus-Sunnah and the Rafidhah ???

Question to Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz: Based upon the knowledge of your eminence of the history of the Raafidhah (Shi’ah). What is your position regarding initiating the coming together between Ahlus-Sunnah and between them?

Answer: “The coming together of Ahlus-Sunnah and the Rafidhah is not possible because the beliefs are different. The Belief of the Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah is to single out Allah alone with worship and sincerely making worship for Allah, The Most Perfect, The Most High, and not to call upon anyone along with Him, neither an Angel drawn close nor a Prophet sent.

And it is Allah who knows the matters of the Unseen. And from the belief of the Ahlus-Sunnah is love of the Companions and He is pleased with them ? and to believe that they are the most excellent of the creation of Allah after the Prophets, and the best of them is Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq, then ‘Umar, then ‘Uthmaan, then ‘Ali. And the Rafidhah oppose this, so there is no reconciling between the two (beliefs), just as there is no reconciling between the Jews, the Christians, the idol-worshippers and the Ahlus-Sunnah. So for this reason there is no coming closer between the Rafidhah and between the Ahlus-Sunnah due to the differing beliefs as we have clarified.”

Question: Is it possible/permissible to fight alongside them (i.e. the Rafidhah) against the foreign enemy such as the communists and so on?

BEWARE Of The DOORS Of The RULERS !!!

Abu Hurairah (ra) reported that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “Whoever lives in the dessert becomes rough; whoso follows the game becomes careless; and whoso comes to the doors of the rulers falls into fitnah (trouble); and a slave does not come nearer to the ruler, except that he becomes further from Allah.” [Musnad Ahmad, Shk Ahmad Shakir said its chain of narration is Sahih]

Ibn Abbas (ra) reported that the Prophet (saws) said: “Whoever lives in the desert, becomes rough; whoso follows the game, becomes careless; and whoso comes to the ruler falls into fitnah.” [an-Nisaee, at-Tirmidhi, and Abu Dawood – See Sahih al-Jam’i: 6296]

Abi al-‘Awar as-Silmi (ra) reported that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “Beware of the doors of the ruler for they have indeed become a source of trouble and humiliation.” [Sahih ad-Dailamee, Ibn Mundah, Ibn-‘Asaaki – See as-Sahihah: 1253]

In explaining the saying of (saws): “…and whoso comes to the doors of the rulers falls into fitnah”, The writer of Tuhfat ul-Ahwadhi said, with reference to the Qaadhi (judge): “…i.e. to come to him without any necessity or need, he falls into Fitnah. So if he complies with what he wants, and he leaves him (i.e. the ruler leaves the judge), then he has placed his Deen in danger. And if he disagree with him, then he has put his duniya (life of this world) in danger.” [Tuhfat ul-Ahwadhee: 6/533]

The Scholars of the Salaf were very cautious from going to the rulers for fear of Fitnah, and they have spoken much about this issue.

Shia Muslim, Shia Islam - Myth, Mirage or Reality ?!?

The Shia Raafidah And Taqiyyah

Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajr (rahimahullah) said: "It (Taqiyya) is to be careful of making known to others what is in the heart with regards one’s creed or other than it." [Fathul bari 12/314]

According to the raafidi Kulayni, one of their leaders said, “Taqiyyah is from my religion and the religion of my forefathers, and there is no imaan for the one who does not have Taqiyyah.” [Al-Kaafi 2/219]

The raafidah consider this Taqiyya to be of lofty virtue and high station in their religion. Kulayni also said in Usool Al-kaafi (the main book containing their heretical and polytheistic beliefs) that nine - tenths of (their) religion is based on Taqiyya and one cannot be (ascribed to the raafidah religion) if he has no Taqiyya. [Usool Al-kaafi 2/217]

Beware of the deceitful political partisans

Some of the deceitful political partisans-those who have been blinded by corrupt political ambitions and love of leadership-seek to confuse the general masses or the least they try to dilute and destroy the correct stances obligated on a Muslim to employ against the heretical raafidah. So some of these deceitful political partisans say that Taqiyya is not something specific to the raafidah, rather it is something established in the religion of Islam. However, these satanic forces of deceit amongst the deceitful political partisans do not give the full details regarding the differences between the satanic Taqiyya employed by the heretical raafidah and the Taqiyyah permitted in the pure Islamic legislation. They do not make known the fact that the legislated permissible Taqiyya is a concession and not a conviction in one’s faith, as Mu'adh Ibn Jabal (ra) said: “Taqiyya was (employed by the believers at the time when) Islaam was new and before the Muslims gained authority; but as for today, Allah has strengthened Islam and the (believers) do not fear their enemies.” [Tafseer Al-Qurtubi 4/57]
