And
I will never forget what ‘Abdul-Qaadir Ash-Shaybaanee, the small
ignoramus, said: “We will send some of our brothers to Abee
‘Abdir-Rahmaan (i.e. Shaikh Muqbil) to get some gulps (of knowledge) in two months, and then we will send them to some of the centers to take over grounds from the Ikhwaan Al-Muslimeen.” So I said: “In two months it’s possible to produce callers to Allaah?”
So
if it is the ignorant ones that are in charge of directing the Da’wah
groups, then I give the tidings of the demise of such Da’wah groups. So
we must gather with the scholars and take knowledge from them, as our
scholars in the past did. Salmaan Al-Faarisee sat and sought knowledge
with the first scholar he encountered until he died, and then a second
and a third until he came upon the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)
and followed him. And this is how the companions of Mu’aadh (raa) were.
Before he passed away, they said to him: “Who shall we go to (for
knowledge after you)?” He said: “To ‘Abdullaah Ibn Mas’ood.”
And when one of the brothers demands one of the Hizbees to seek knowledge, he says: “Amongst you are those who want this world and amongst you are those who want the Hereafter.”[Surah
Aali ‘Imraan: 152] And then he says: “Allaah said this ayah with regard
to the Companions” – meaning, they acknowledge that they have no
patience in seeking knowledge and in suffering hunger. They prefer to
live close to people in buildings and cars and in the worldly life.
Then
we hear them say: “You attack the different organizations.” So who told
you that we attack the organizations? Yes, we attack some of the
organizations that consist of partisanship, restricted Walaa (loyalty),
thievery and misappropriation of money. These are the kinds of groups
that we criticize and call the people away from.
So
this is a Da’wah (call) that is based on lies and deceptions, but the
reality will become manifest. For the Da’wah of ‘Alee Ibn Al-Fadl
manifested itself and the reality of the Da’wah of the Mu’tazilah, the
Shee’ah and Sufis manifested themselves. And the ones who will expose
and make these realities manifest, by the Permission of Allaah, are
Ahlus-Sunnah.
And all praise be to Allaah, Ahlus-Sunnah are the ones who always examine and rectify the Muslim ummah. The Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “There
will not cease to be a group from my ummah that is triumphant upon the
truth. Those who abandon them will not be able to harm them until
Allaah’s Command (i.e. Promise) comes to pass and they are upon that
(condition).”
