Are you going to help shaytaan in dividng & splitting the Ummah ?!
This is an advice of sh.Rabee' حفظه الله below :
From our noble father, Al-Allaamah, Ash-shaykh, Saalih ibn Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan (May Allaah preserve him)
After
the Fajr Salaah at the King Sa'ood Masjid in Jeddah, during the
completion of the commentary of the Chapter of Fasting from the book
'Daleel-ut-Taalib Li'Nayl-il-Mutaalib' by Ash-Shaykh Mur'ee ibn Yusuf
Al-Maqdisee Al-Hanbalee, in response to a questioner requesting some
finishing advice before ending:
Wednesday 24th Sha'baan 1434h / Corresponding to 3rd July 2013.
The questioner said:
May
Allaah treat you well, we shall end with this question; Is there any
blessed word which you would like to direct to your sons and your
brothers from amongst the students of knowledge in the whole Islamic
nation?
The Shaykh (may Allaah preserve him and keep him safe) replied:
Yes certainly;
We
advise you to have taqwa in Allaah, and persistence in seeking
knowledge, being assiduous in that, and to act on what Allaah has taught
you, to call to Allaah Azza wa Jall, and to teach the people what you
have learnt.
And
(we advise you to) leave disputing, reviling others and unnecessary
interfering, so much so that they divide the ummah and divide the
students of knowledge, like “be warned of so and so, do not sit with so
and so, do not read to so and so!” This is not permissible. If so and so has an error, then advise one another between yourselves.
As
for you spreading this amongst the people and warning from him, yet he
is a scholar, a student of knowledge, or a pious man, but he errs, then
this spreading is not obligatory.
"Indeed,
those who like that wrongdoing should be spread amongst those who
believe, for them is a painful punishment in this world and in the
hereafter, and Allaah knows whilst you know not." (Al-Qur'aan 24:19)
The
obligatory thing is advising one another between the Muslims, the
obligatory thing is having love between the Muslims, especially between
the students of knowledge, and especially between the scholars,
honouring the scholars, not offering recommendation for some of them and
warning from others – this is a cause of many evils, a cause of
disputation and hatred for one another, and a cause of tribulation. Stay
away from these matters, may Allaah reward you all with good.
Be how Allaah Subhaanah intended:
"Indeed this is your nation, one nation..." (Al-Qur'aan 21:92)
"And
do not be like those who became divided and differed after clear proofs
came to them, and those, for them is a great punishment." (Al-Qur'aan
3:105)
Be
fervent in joining together, be fervent in advising between yourselves,
be fervent in working together upon piety and taqwa – and be warned
about that which divides the Muslims. Especially in this age, the
Muslims are in need of coming together, in need of cutting off
disputation between themselves, and in need of working together upon
piety and taqwa. Do not become a helper to the enemy of the Muslims in
the dispersion of the Muslims and the division of them.
If
division takes place between the scholars and the students of knowledge
then who will remain for the ummah? The calamity is not due to the
common folk, it is only upon the students of knowledge who rectify
between the people and teach them – so leave these issues, these
disputes and polemics, and this unnecessary and reprehensible affair.
"And you should not backbite one another, would one of you like to eat the dead flesh of his brother?" (Al-Qur'aan 49:12)
"And
do not obey every offensive opposer, who goes about with gossip, a
preventer of good, transgressing and sinful'"(Al-Qur'aan 68:10,11,12)
So
do not obey these ones, lest you become a help to shaytaan in the
division of the ummah and its segregation. Whoever you find fault in,
then advise him if that thing is confirmed, and do not simply affirm the
truth of rumours.
"Oh
you who believe, if a disobedient one comes to you with some
information, then clarify, lest you harm a people out of ignorance and
you end up regretful over what you have done" (Al-Qur'aan 49:6)
"Oh
you who believe, when you travel out in the path of Allaah then
clarify, and do not say to one who casts the greeting of peace to you
'you are not a believer'." (Al-Qur'aan 4:94)
Allaah
Jalla wa Alaa has urged the Muslims to unity, to the unifying the word
of the Muslims, to working together, and to mutual advice.
We
do not say 'leave errors', no, rectify the error – We say 'rectify the
error, do not just leave it', rather rectify it with the
sharee'ah-legislated methods.
May
Allaah grant everyone the ability to do what He loves and what pleases
Him. And may the Salaah and Salaam be upon our prophet Muhammad, and
upon all of his family and companions.
