Softness regarding weak chains in Targheeb wat Tarheeb

Shaikh Abdel Aziz Aal Abdel Latif:
http://alabdulltif.net/index.php?option=com_ftawa&task=view&id=15739 Question: Why does Saudi Arabia permit celebrating the commemoration of Muhammad bin Abdel Wahhab in a conference, paying hundreds of thousands for it, and it is not allowed for us to celebrate the commemoration of the mawlid of the Messenger of Allah -Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam-? 

Who is more deserving of that: the Messenger of Allah -Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam- or Muhammad bin Abdel Wahhab?

This is a question that some of the people of knowledge of Damascus ask, please give us an answer.

The Answer:

All praise be to Allah alone, and Salat and Salam be upon the Messenger of Allah.

The week of shaikh Muhammad bin Abdel Wahhab was only an academic conference held in 1400 Hijri, under the supervision of the Islamic
University of Imam Muhammad bin Sa’ud in Riyadh, it consisted for a number of researches regarding the dawah of shaikh Muhammad bin Abdel
Wahhab in terms of its emergence and its affects, and the doubts created surrounding it with its refutation. In addition to that, the works of
shaikh Muhammad bin Abdel Wahhab were printed after compiling and organizing it.

The difference between that conference and the celebration of the Prophetic Mawlid is obvious, as the week of shaikh Muhammad bin Abdel

Wahhab was not an act of worship itself, what was meant by it is to inform about this dawah and to do justice to its reviver; also, the week of the
shaikh does not reoccur or return as is the case with the ones who celebrate the Prophetic Mawlid, tending it every year; while this week was
held about a quarter century ago, and has ended.

—————-

Shaikh Ibn Uthaimeen -rahimahullah-:

The shaikh was asked: What is the difference between what is called “The week of shaikh Muhammad bin Abdel Wahhab” -Rahimahullah, and

the celebration of the Prophetic Mawlid, as the second is condemned, while the first isn’t?

So he answered:

“The difference between them -according to our knowledge- is from two sides:
The first is: the week of shaikh Muhammad bin Abdel Wahhab -Rahimahullah Ta’ala- was not done as a means to get closer to Allah -Azza wa Jal-, it is only meant for removing doubts that are in the hearts of some people towards this man, and to show what Allah has blessed the Muslims through this man.
The second is: the week of shaikh Muhammad bin Abdel Wahhab -Rahimahullah- does not reoccur and return (every year) as is the case with
‘Eids; it is something that has been clarified to the people, things were written in it, and the truth regarding this man, that was not known before,
was shown to many people, then it ended.”

Source: Majmu’ Fatawa wa Rasael Shaikh Muhammad Saleh al-Uthaimeen, volume 16 – Prayer of the two Eids.

He also said in “Liqa’ al-Bab al-Maftooh” :

The Question:
The people of innovation say: You commemorate some individuals or like the week of shaikh Muhammad bin Abdel Wahhab – rahimahullah-,
they say: what we do is similar to that, and the Messenger -alayhi assalam- is greater than Imam Muhammad?

The answer:
The Messenger of Allah is greater than all human beings, but the commemoration of the Messenger (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is not specific to to this night. I have mentioned to you before, that every act of worship includes the commemoration of the Messenger -alayhi assalatu
wasSalam-, this is from one point, and from another point: the week of Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab, was it made into a eid that reoccurs? we
say: it was not made an eid … and an eid is something that returns and reoccurs, you made this (i.e. mawlid) an eid that reoccurs every year, and
this is munkar; that is why if someone, one day, stood up and spoke about the mission of the Messenger – alayhi asSalatu wasSalam- and his
visiting, we would not call him an innovator, but to make it into an eid that reoccurs every year like a the religious eids such as Eid al Fitr and Eid
Al-Adha, then this is munkar; and if we assume that the week of the Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab was wrong, does that mean we compare a
wrong with wrong? we don’t.

Benefits from ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (died in 795 H)

Rebuking of innovators in matters of Attributes.

In his book “Fadlul ilm as-salaf alal khalaf” (p 31, darussunnah in english) ibn Rajab al-Hanbali said:

“Some astronomers used their knowledge to reject the hadith of Descent at the last third of the night by saying: “The last third of the night occurs at different times in different countries so it’s not possible that this Descent occur at one time”. The repugnance of this claim is known in the religion by necessity. If the Messenger (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam) or the Rightly-Guided caliphs were to have heard such claims, not only would they haven’t listened to them, but they would have rushed to punish these people or would have considered them amongst the rank and file of the deniers and hypocrites”.

On ilmul-kalam and other innovated knowledge

And he also said (p 33):

“As for those sciences that were invented after the time of the companions, whose proponents claim that they are true knowledge and that whoever isn’t aware of them is either an ignorant or misguided, all of them are innovations and are to be counted amongst the newly invented affairs that have been prohibited”.

And in other place (p 51), he said:

“As for delving into the words of the speculative theologians (mutakalimin) and the philosophers, this is pure evil! Rare is it to find one who delves into them without being sullied by some of their filth. Ahmad said: “None delves into speculative theology (kalam) except that he takes on board the ways of Jahm (ibn Saffan)”. He, as well as the other imams of the Salaf, used to warn against the People of speculative theology (ahlul-kalam) even if their intention be to defend the Sunnah.

As for what is to be found in the words of those who love this rhetoric and follow its adherents in censuring those who don’t excel in disputation and debate, accusing them of ignorance and Hashw – or that they don’t have gnosis of Allah, or that they don’t possess true understanding of this religion – all of this is from following the footsteps of Satan. We take refuge with Allah from such a person”.

On faith in Attributes of Allah.

And he also said (p 36):

“Those who negate much of what is reported in the Book and Sunnah concerning the Attributes due to the implication, in their view, of a likeness between the creation and Creator. From amongst these ate the Mutazila who said: “If He can be seen, He must be a body because ne requires a direction in which to see”; “If His speech can be heard, He must be a body”. Those who negated His istawa did so by means of the same reasoning. This is the path of Mutazila and the Jahmiyah about whom the Salaf were agreed as to their being innovators and misguided. This path of theirs has been traversed, in some matters, by many of those who attributed to the Sunnah and Hadith amog the latter generations”.

And he continued (p 37):

“The correct position in all of this is the position of the Righteous Salaf in their leaving the verses and ahadeth concerning the Attributes as they came without explanation, asking how, or likening them to creation. There is nothing at all contravening this position that is authentically reported from them, especially Imam Ahmad. Neither is anything reported from them proving that they probed into their meanings or propounded analogies and similitudes for them. This, even though there were some who lived close to the time of Ahmad who did some of this, following the way laid out by Muqatil, but they aren’t to be followed in this. Those who should be followed ate the Imams of Islam such as ibn al-Mubarak, Thawri, Awzai, Shafi, Ahmad, Ishaq, Abu Ubaid and their likes.

One will not find anything in the words of those mentioned above that bears resemblance to the words of the speculative theologians (mutakalimin) le alone the words of the philosophers, indeed this is not to be found in the words of anyone who has not been censured or disparaged. Abu Zurah ar-Razi said: “Whoever possesses knowledge, yet his knowledge isn’t refined, and as such requires speculative theology (kalam) to spread it, you should have nothing to do with him”.

What is the hadd punishment for incest?

Praise be to Allaah.Firstly:

Zina with a mahram relative is a graven sin that zina with a non-mahram, because it is severing the ties of kinship, and an act of aggression against those with whom we are enjoined to uphold ties of kinship. Hence some of the scholars are of the view that the one who commits zina with a mahram should be executed in all cases, whether he was married or unmarried. This was narrated from Ahmad (may Allaah have mercy on him). The majority are of the view that he should be subjected to the hadd punishment; so if he was married he should be stoned and if he was not married he should be given one hundred lashes, even though his sin is greater.

It says in Mataalib Ooli al-Nuha (6/18): The one who commits zina with his sister is like one who commits zina with anyone else (with regard to hadd punishment), because of the general meaning of the reports. It was narrated from him (i.e., Imam Ahmad) that the one who commits zina with a mahram should be killed whatever the case, whether he was married or not. It was said to him: What about the woman? He said: It applies to both of them. But out view is what was stated above, i.e., that zina with a mahram is like zina with anyone else. End quote.

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said concerning intercourse with one’s mother, daughter or sister: There is a totally natural repulsion towards that, and the hadd punishment for that is one of the most severe of punishments according to one of the two opinions, which is execution in all cases, whether he was married or not. This is one of the two views narrated from Imam Ahmad, and it is also the view of Ishaaq ibn Raahawayh and a number of the scholars of hadeeth. Abu Dawood narrated that al-Bara’ ibn ‘Aazib said: I met my paternal uncle and he was carrying the banner. I said to him: Where are you going? He said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has sent me to a man who married his father’s wife after he died, to strike his neck and confiscate his wealth. [Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel (2351).]

In Sunan Abi Dawood and Sunan Ibn Majaah it is narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever has intercourse with a mahram relative, kill him.” [Classed as da’eef by al-Albaani in Da’eef al-Jaami’ (5524).]

The Muslims are unanimously agreed that the one who commits zina with a mahram deserves the hadd punishment; they only differed with regard to the nature of hadd punishment: should it be execution in all cases, or is it the hadd punishment of the (ordinary) zaani? There are two points of view. Al-Shaafa’i, Maalik and Ahmad, according to one of the reports from him, were of the view that he should be subjected to the hadd punishment for zina. Ahmad, Ishaaq and a number of the scholars of hadeeth were of the view that his punishment is execution whatever the case. End quote from al-Jawaab al-Kaafi, p. 270.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) favoured the view that the one who commits zina with a mahram should be executed in all cases. He said: The apparent meaning of the author’s words is that there is no difference between zina with a mahram relative and zina with anyone else, but zina with a mahram is punishable by execution in all cases, because of a saheeh hadeeth that speaks of that. This view was favoured by Ibn al-Qayyim in al-Jawaab al-Kaafi , where he said that the one who commits zina with a mahram should be executed whatever the case.

For example, if a man committed zina – Allaah forbid – with his sister or his paternal aunt or his maternal aunt or his wife’s mother or the daughter of a wife with whom he had consummated the marriage and so on, then he is to be executed whatever the case, because this intimacy is not permissible to him under any circumstances whatsoever, because the woman is one of his mahrams, and because this is a grave immoral action. There is also a hadeeth which was narrated from the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) about executing the one who has intercourse with one of his mahrams. This was narrated from Ahmad, and it is the correct view, that the one who commits zina with one of his mahrams should be executed even if he was not married. End quote from al-Sharh al-Mumti’ (6/132).

It says in al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah (24/20): The sin of zina varies in severity. Zina with a mahram or married woman is worse than zina with a stranger (non-mahram) or unmarried woman, because it is a transgression against the sacred rights of the husband and corrupting his lineage, and it may involve attributing offspring to him who are not his, and other kinds of damage. So it is a worse sin than zina with a woman who does not have a husband or who is a stranger (non-mahram). If her husband is a neighbour then it also involves bad treatment of neighbours, and mistreating neighbours is one of the worst kinds of mistreatment and one of the worst sins that may doom a person to Hell. If the neighbour was a brother or one of his relatives, it also involves severing ties of kinship, so the sin is compounded. It was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “He will not enter Paradise from whose harm his neighbour is not safe.” There is no harm greater than zina with one’s neighbour’s wife. If the neighbour is absent doing something in obedience to Allaah, such as worship, seeking knowledge or jihad, then the sin is compounded. The one who commits zina with the wife of one who is fighting for the sake of Allaah will be made to stand before him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will take as much of his good deeds as he wants. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The sanctity of the wives of the mujaahideen for those who stay behind is like the sanctity of their own mothers. There is no man among those who stay behind who looks after the family of one of the mujaahideen and then betrays him with regard to them, but he will be made to stand on the Day of Resurrection, and he (the mujaahid) will take as much of his good deeds as he wishes, so what do you think?” Narrated by Muslim (1897). i.e., do you think he will leave him any of his hasanaat (good deeds)? It has already been ruled that he has the right to take whatever he wants at the time when all people will be desperate for even a single hasanah. If it so happens that the woman was also his relative, the sin of severing ties of kinship will be added to that. If it so happens that the zaani was also married, then the sin is even greater. If he was an old man, the sin and punishment will be greater. If that also occurred during a sacred month or in a sacred place, or at a time that is held in high regard by Allaah, such as the time of prayer or times when du’aa’s are answered, the sin is further compounded. End quote.

Secondly:

The one who has done any such thing should hasten to repent to Allaah, may He be exalted. Repentance may be valid for any sin, no matter how great. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Know they not that Allaah accepts repentance from His slaves and takes the Sadaqaat (alms, charity), and that Allaah Alone is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful?”

[al-Tawbah 9:104]

“And those who invoke not any other ilaah (god) along with Allaah, nor kill such person as Allaah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this shall receive the punishment.

69. The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein in disgrace;

70. Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds; for those, Allaah will change their sins into good deeds, and Allaah is OftForgiving, Most Merciful

71. And whosoever repents and does righteous good deeds; then verily, he repents towards Allaah with true repentance”

[al-Furqaan 25:68-70]

“And verily, I am indeed forgiving to him who repents, believes (in My Oneness, and associates none in worship with Me) and does righteous good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them (till his death)”

[Ta-Ha 20:82]

These verses indicate that the one who repents must do a lot of good deeds and follow the path of guidance, and keep away from the causes of temptation.

And Allaah knows best.

Ali Ibn Abi Talib [RA] – THE “Wahhabi”!

dNOTE: This post will be updated from time to time to collect a biggest resource of evidences that prove that Ahl Al Sunnah are in fact upon the Madhab and Aqidah of Ali -radiyallahu anhuand that the Rafidah are nothing but Zanadiqa (heretics) who claim to follow him and in most cases even do the exact opposite.

Strange headline, yet the facts testify to this and the intent is to show what our Khalifa, Ali Ibn Abi Talib -Allah is well pleased with him- would most probably face IF he would have met a Rafidi Shi’i today (before the days of Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Abdilwahhab they would have called him Nasibi IF they only knew what he was upon)

As you all know a MUNAFIQ is the one who OPENLY displays his Islam and INWARDLY hides his KUFR. It is well known amongst the people of the knowledge that HATING, REJECTING or RIDICULING only ONE part (even a TINY ONE) of the Sunnah of Muhammad -salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallama- constitutes major Kufr, even the tiniest Sunnah, like the Siwak (tooth brush) IF a Muslim would mock it, then he would have commited MAJOR KUFR. (beware of Takfeer cause the one who commits a major kufr is NOT necessary a Kafir)

And it is no secret to ANY knowledgable Sunnah Muslim, how many times the Rafidah have mocked the Sunnah of the Prophet -peace be upon him- be it the the Siwak (traditional teeth cleaning twig), the garments/trousers above the ankle OR the famous LONG beard of the Sunnah Muslims (whom Rafidah call “Wahhabis” to demonize and disunite the ranks of the Sunnah).

It’s not difficult to find them ridiculing the Sunnah beards, the practice of ALL Prophets, Sahaba and Ahlul-Bayt, the beards MOSES, JESUS and Ali himself (it is reported that he used to have one of the most EPIC beards amongst the Sahaba yet most Rafidah have a two-day-old beard), nay even their MAJOR scholars (“Ayatollahs”) do have MASSIVE (“Wahhabi”?!) beards, but it seems what is allowed for the Rabbi is not so for the sheep i.e. blind follower (exactly like the Priests of the orthodox church and the Gurus of Temples of other religions where the “SCHOLARS” distinguish themselves from the layman with a CERTAIN clothing (catholic priests) and long beards (Orthodox PRIESTS wear a long beards ONLY their followers don’t).

Funnily enough whenever you point out to their Zandaqa (heresy) i.e. them mocking the Sunnah, they reply EXACTLY how the modernists do and say:”You Wahhabis, according to you the beard represents 99% of the Deen…”

This statement is obviously nothing but Zandaqa (heresy) and a lie, since the small parts of the Sunnah are NOT “99%” of the Deen, but PART A of the Deen even if it would be 0,0001% of it, it is still PART OF IT and ironically it is the so called “Wahhabis” (Sunnah) who are known to follow the biggest up to the tiniest Sunnah, like the Siwak, in fact this is what they are known for and this is what Rafidah are NOT known for (following the Sunnah).  A REAL Muslim who follows Allah and his messenger can be identified by his INNER ISLAM (Iman, Taqwa, correctness of Aqidah, Tawhid i.e. everything what Rafidah do not possess) and OUTWARDLY by all the Sunnahs that were established by the messenger of Allah (LETTING the beard grow, not being Musbil i.e. everything that the Rafidah are not taking into account.)

Hence this post (with a banner on our banner list to be find easier) will – with the permission of Allah- deal with all the Sunnahs (and Aqidah) of Rasulullah that were STEP BY STEP  followed by Ali Ibn Abi Talib, the  Ahl Al-Sunnah and IRONICALLY (after all they CLAIM to follow him ALI!) completely abondened by the Rafidah, wether their laymen OR their scholars.

1. Ali’s [RA] Adhan compared to todays heretical innovated Shia Adhan

It is well known that the scholars of the Rafidah went to such extremes with the Ahlul-Bayt that there might be not one Islamic practice spared without including the Ahlul-Bayt in it. They are quick in accusing the Ahl Al-Sunnah of “Bi’dah” (true sounds like an oxymoron, a Rafidi calling something Bid’ah) and in the case of the Adhan they claim that the line “As-Salatu Khayrum-minan-nawm” (“prayer is better than sleep”) is in fact an innovation of Omar -radiyallahu anhu-! Needless to say that (as usual) ALL the narrations they bring to prove that Omar Al-Farooq invented this line are NOTHING BUT WEAK and FABRICATED narrations and the truth is, that this line was >>approved<< by NO ONE ELSE than the Messenger of Allah -peace be upon him- himself.

Now isn’t it funny, rather hypocritical that the very same Rafidah who  accuse Omar Ibn Al-Khattab day and night with falsehood are  in fact the one who invented a CLEAR-CUT Bid’a into the Adhan, yes we are talking about their famous line and THIRD part of the Shahada in the Adhan:”Ashhadu anna Aliyan waliyullah…” (I bear witness that Ali is the close friend of Allah). No doubt this statement is truth, but it is also truth that Salman Al-Farsi was a great Sahabi and friend of Allah, and according to the Muslims Omar as well. But no sane person, let alone TRUE follower of the Sunnah would add to the Adhan:”Ashhadu anna Omar waliyullah..” Imagine the Sunnah WOULD have done this, certainly the Rafidah would accuse us day of night of going to extreme with Omar, the Sahaba etc.

The only excuse their scholars bring is the following:

“the thirds part of the Adhan is not PART of the Adhan ALTHOUGH MUSTAHHAB (recommended) to say, BUT  if one says it whilst believing that it IS part of the Adhan, then his Adhan is not correct”

This is what all of their “Marjas” (“Ayatollahs”) and the flaw couldn’t be more obvious, since if something is NOT part of the Adhan i.e. the Prophet, the Imams NEVER said it, then how can we add something to the Adhan, and on top of it call this ADDITION “MUSTAHHAB”?

Just due to the fact that the actual statement (“Aliyun Waliyullah..”) is true? Well, then Fatimah -radiyallahu anha- is also a friend of Allah why not adding here to the Adhan? Ups, already happened and the heresy has no end:

For the first time in history: Sheikh al-Habib leads the call to prayer with the testimony to the Wilayat of Fatima al-Zahra (peace be upon her)

Now they’ve added FATIMA -radiyallahu anha wa ardaahaa- to the ADHAN basically a 21st century Bid’a:

There is no justification for such a Bid’a and as you can see this is to what Rafidah Tashayyu (Shi’ism) leads, one Bid’a follows another and yet they have the nerves to accuse the Ahl Al Sunnah with Bid’a it’s just ridiculous. However, there are still some Shias who acknowledge the truth and as a matter of fact it was no one else than their MAJOR CLASSICAL scholar Al Sadooq who condemned the addition to the Adhan (“Aliyun Waliyullah”) as a BID’A, innovation, invented by the GHULAT. And as some of their scholars of the past said, things which are regarded as parts of the Madhab today (like Tatbir/smacking the head with blades, addition to the Adhan etc.) would had been regarded as GHULU (extremism) in the past.

Unfortunately almost each and every Marja’ does not oppose those innovations and some who stood up against some of the heretical practices (like Tatbir, the belief of attributing Ilm Al-Ghaib to the Imams, the Shirki “Tawassul” of Ya Ali Madad, etc.) and were brave enough to speak out were accused of “Wahhabism” (like Ayatollah Fadhlullah who opposed all of three issues mentioned before). It is important to note that according to the Shia science of Hadith ALL the narrations suggestion a THIRD part for the Tashahhud in the Adhan are NOT authentic, so those Shias who seek the truth should at least follow their “authentic” narrations regarding the TRUE Adhan of Muhammad -sallallahu alayhi wa sallam- and Ali -radiyallahu anhu wa ardaah.

3rd Testimony in Adhaan and Iqaamah = Bid’ah (Innovation) according to authentic Shia Ahadeeth – presented by a Shia Talib
