It is historically inaccurate to claim that Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb was alone in criticizing certain Rāfiḍī doctrines or regarding some of them as acts of disbelief. Similar judgments can be found centuries earlier among prominent Sunni scholars, including Imām Mālik, Imām Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, Imām al-Bukhārī, Ibn Ḥazm, Ibn Qutaybah, and others.
At the same time, it is important to distinguish between different groups that have historically been labeled “Shīʿa.”
Many Sunni scholars differentiated between those who merely preferred ʿAlī over Abū Bakr while maintaining respect for the Companions and the Mothers of the Believers, and the Rāfiḍah, whom they described as holding more extreme doctrines such as cursing the Companions, accusing ʿĀʾishah (raḍiyallāhu ʿanhā), claiming corruption of the Qurʾān, or attributing knowledge of the unseen to the Imāms.
For example, Ibn Kathīr relates that Imām Mālik derived from Qurʾān 48:29 that those who harbor hatred for the Companions fall under the condemnation of the verse, and he reports a narration attributing disbelief to the Rāfiḍah on that basis (Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr, 4/219).
Imām Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal expressed severe warnings regarding those who curse the Companions, stating: “Whoever curses them, I fear disbelief for him, like the Rāfiḍah,” and further remarked that one who curses the Companions may have departed from the religion (al-Sunnah of al-Khallāl, 2/557–558). In another narration, he described the Rāfiḍah as those who disavow and curse the Companions and declared that such people have no connection to Islam (al-Sunnah, p. 82).
Imām al-Bukhārī likewise spoke harshly about the Rāfiḍah, placing them alongside the Jahmiyyah and treating them as outside the fold of acceptable religious fellowship (Khalq Afʿāl al-ʿIbād, p. 125). He also narrated from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Mahdī that “the Jahmiyyah and the Rāfiḍiyyah are two religions.”
Ibn Ḥazm was even more explicit. While discussing claims regarding the alteration of the Qurʾān, he wrote that the Rāfiḍah who held such beliefs were not among the Muslims but rather followed a path similar to that of the Jews and Christians in falsehood and disbelief (al-Faṣl, 2/213). Elsewhere he stated that the extremist Rāfiḍah who affirmed corruption of the Qurʾān were regarded as disbelievers by the consensus of the Muslims (al-Iḥkām, 1/96).
Other scholars expressed similar sentiments. Aḥmad ibn Yūnus preferred the slaughter of a Jew over that of a Rāfiḍī because he regarded the latter as an apostate (al-Ṣārim al-Maslūl, p. 570). Ibn Qutaybah condemned Rāfiḍī beliefs that elevated ʿAlī above those whom the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions had preceded him with, or that attributed prophetic qualities and knowledge of the unseen to the Imāms, describing such doctrines as a combination of falsehood, disbelief, and ignorance (al-Ikhtilāf fī al-Lafẓ, p. 47). Likewise, Shurayk warned against taking knowledge from the Rāfiḍah, accusing them of fabricating ḥadīth and adopting fabrication as part of their religion.
It is clear that long before Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb, numerous Sunni authorities had already condemned what they regarded as extremist Rāfiḍī doctrines and, in many cases, explicitly described such beliefs as disbelief. The historical record does not support the claim that these judgments originated with him. Rather, they were part of a much older Sunni polemical tradition directed at specific doctrines and sectarian positions that those scholars considered incompatible with Islam. Iran is a Rāfiḍī state, and so was Iraq at the time of MiAW
Refer to MiAW’s book “A refutation of the Rāfiḍīa”
Negotiations specifically mention the resistance in Lebanon and demand an end to attacks on it from Israel but makes no mention for the resistance in Gaza.
People in the replies keep mentioning how the Arabs are the real traitors to Gaza as if that somehow absolves Iran of its responsibility to the entire resistance front.
Arabs are not the standard of loyalty so it makes little sense to compare Iran to them nor does their betrayal justify Iran overlooking Gaza in their negotiations.
I am not projecting a responsibility onto Iran. Iran itself has claimed to support Gaza and the resistance. They are “the nation of Imam Hussein and will not abandon Gaza” as professor Marandi often reminds us.
So why then is Gaza being ignored and why are Iranians in the replies saying Iran has no obligation to Gaza or that the Arabs betrayed them first?
And why are they bringing up suffering and sacrifice when there is no greater suffering or sacrifice than what took place in Gaza? They’ve experienced unimaginable horrors since October 7th.
If Iran truly wants to prove that there is nothing sectarian about the cause why are they not demanding an end to the attacks on the Sunni resistance in Gaza?
Will Israel respect the demand? Of course not.
They won’t respect it in Lebanon either.
It does not change the fact that Gaza should not be forgotten and must be specially mentioned as well.
Don’t backtrack on your claim. You accused Sh Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Wahhāb and his followers of allying with outside powers to fight the Ottomans, as clearly shown in the screenshot below. No such evidence exists for this fantasy claim.
You accused the Wahhābīs of being the aggressors and explicitly denied that they were acting in self-defence. Did you even try and engage with the evidence I presented to refute this? No.
The Ottomans were in fact the aggressors against the Wahhābīs, such context matters and completely destroys the narrative you were trying to paint.
You also butchered the fatwā of Sh Sulaymān b. Saḥmān (1266-1349H). Nowhere is he making mass-takfīr. He was making takfīr of the army of the Ottomans in 1915, a time when the Ottoman government had been overrun by the Young Turks. Again, consult the fatwā in its entirety and you’ll see the passage there.
And to answer your softball question: Yes the Imāms of the daʾwah would’ve absolutely disavowed and excommunicated the secular ṭawāghīt ruling over the Muslim world today, Irān is still far worse of a threat to Sunnī Muslim interests.
Uzbek Muslim charged for posting video of his child reciting Quran on social media
An Uzbek Muslim father was charged and fined for posting a video of his child reciting the Holy Quran on social media.
“I posted a video of my own child reading the Quran on my Instagram page. It turns out that reading the Quran and spreading religious matters is a crime here (Uzbekistan).
If you come out as an LGBTQ member, it's called democracy.
Beer festivals can happen freely.
But if you read the Quran, it's a crime.
Does this specific code, this specific article, only apply to Muslims and those who read the Quran?
For example, can a person belonging to the Russian nation read the Bible?
Or let's say, does it also affect Jews who read their Torah?
Personally, I have never seen anyone other than a Muslim being tried under this article.”
This Uzbek father was charged for “illegal production, storage, import, or distribution of religious materials.”
١_ النقولات في التسجيل مبتورة عن الألباني ودونكم في الصورة الكلام المبتور الذي أثنى فيه ثناء كبيرا على الشيخ محمد بن عبدالوهاب بل ولقبه بشيخ الإسلام بل وقال أن له الفضل على العالم الإسلامي في نشر التوحيد الصافي ومحاربة الشرك وفي نفس المقطع شدد وهاجم أشباهك يا حجاب الذي يحاربون الشيخ ووصفك أنت وأشباهك بأعداء التوحيد.
٢_ نقد الشيخ الألباني لم يكن للاستنقاص بل كان للتوضيح والمقارنة بينه وبين شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية فبين أن الشيخ محمد لكثرة انشغاله بالدعوة إلى التوحيد ألهته عن باقي علوم الشريعة أما شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية فقد برع في كل الفنون.
٣_ هنا نفهم أهمية تجديد النية وتثبيت الإخلاص في الدعوة إلى الله تعالى لأن كثيرا من الناس لا يطيق ذلك ففي أي وقت ينساه الناس يصير كالحمار الأهوج ويفعل كل شيء فقط لإرجاع الأضواء ففي ذاك الزمان بال في زمزم وفي زماننا تعرى وسبحان الله لم يشفع البول لذاك المجهول وكذلك ديودك لن تبقي لك ذكرا.
Shaykh Abdul al-Muḥsin al-ʿAbbād (may Allah preserve him) was asked:
What is the ruling on wearing the qamīs (Thobe) in a European country where it is customary for people to wear trousers and similar clothing?
He replied: Wearing the qamīs (thawb) is something good, and this is what should be done. For when Europeans come to our countries, they maintain their own style of dress. So why is it that we see Muslims, when they go there, abandon their own clothing and wear the clothing of the disbelievers?!
Sharḥ Sunan Abī Dāwūd (10/452).

In the past, large numbers of Hajj pilgrims' sacrifices were wasted and buried in the open due to the lack of logistics to accommodate & distribute them, causing environmental challenges in Makkah.
Hajj zabiha meat today is packed / distributed to neighbouring countries in need.

Aside from the fact it’s destroying the intellect - the content is also rubbish!
Everytime I open this app, I see stuff that just shocks me.
Half of these people don’t know the rulings of Taharah - but are saying crazy things.
