Beautiful advice from Shaykh Khalid Dhafeeri @almadani_k.

Hopefully, it finds open hearts & attentive ears.

It reminds us of what Imam Muqbil used to say: If you truly recognized the plagues afflicting society, you wouldn’t be preoccupied with your brother from Ahl al-Sunnah.

📄 A Witness From Their Own Family: Exposing the Inconsistencies of ‘ Ali Al-Hudhayfi' and Abu ‘Iyād

🖊️ Written by: Mubārak Ismail

The Fitnah of Nizār and Co. has brought many sudden and surprising developments with it. Among the most surprising developments is seeing people reject the very principles the Salafis have historically been upon, principles that they themselves had previously practiced and taught, simply to aid their own whims and desires.
➤ Their own statements expose the contradiction.

There is this Manchester-based 50 year old adult yet a "boy", Abdullah Jallow who seems to have no knowledge or skill except to insult and to proudly announce his age at any chance. Oh, and to announce his 25/30 years of following his masters around, with no observable traces of knowledge nor any respect for the people of knowledge except his masters.

​I have realized that this individual mistakes the way noble people ignore his unruly behavior and sharp tongue as him presenting "evidence" and "harsh truths." But no! It is merely prattling, babbling, and a display of his lack of religious knowledge and basic common sense.

​Regarding your question: "Where is the evidence for the Tabdee' against Abu 'Iyād?"

​Firstly, I haven't seen any authentic chain of transmission clearly stating that Sh. 'Arafāt declared him to be an innovator.

​Secondly, even if it is established that he was truly declared an innovator, why is it such a big deal? When a person opposes the foundational beliefs of Ahl as-Sunnah, he is declared a mubtadi'.

​Or are you unaware that Abu 'Iyād claimed that disputes between duaat should not be referred back to the scholars? Even after people of knowledge corrected him, he remained stubbornly devoted to this false principle and continued to defend it!

​Moreover, if we are talking about false tabdī', is there anyone more guilty of it than you and your ilk? Nizār branded everyone who does not support his transgressions as "Hizb Jadeed" and has repeated this several times. Do you care to ask him for his evidence for that?

​He branded Sh. Salāh Kantūsh a Hizbī and Shaykh Ahmad Bādukhūn a Haddādi. Where is his evidence for this tabdī'?

​Fawwāz al-Madkhali branded everyone who does not follow them as "Sūfiyyatul Bukhāri." What was his evidence for that?

​The uncaptured thief is now trying to arrest the farmer. You and your ilk are the ones who have branded Salafis with false tabdī' countless times, yet you still shed crocodile tears to present yourselves as the victims. Mr. Jallow, fear Allah.

​The description of him being a "plant" is highly fitting for anyone who divides the Muslims and tries to turn them away from their scholars, just as Abu 'Iyād is doing. A person who divides the Salafis because his ego prevents him from retracting an error he was refuted for is surely a plant of Shaytān!

​Lastly, 'Ali Al-Hudhayfi and Abu 'Iyād have been falsely branding Sh. 'Arafāt a "plant" for a while now- why didn't we see all this crying from you then?

​If you continue to disrespect those who are teaching and defending the Deen of Allah, the people of Sunnah will not stand by and let you cause mischief on the earth.

Being thankful for food is a great act of worship:

Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said:

“The one who is eating and thankful is like (and in one wording: has a reward like) the one who is fasting and patient.”

Reported by al-Tirmidhī, Ibn Mājah & Ahmad. See Al-Silsilah # 655

[Moosaa Richardson أبو العباس موسى الطويل @1MMeducation]

The recent consorted efforts to discredit the virtuous scholar, Shaykh 'Arafaat ibn Hasan al-Muhammadi (may Allah preserve him) -as people of insight can see clearly- is coming from a group of discredited & erroneous individuals, who, instead of rectifying their affairs & returning back to the scholars about their own serious blunders, are temporarily* huddling together in order to create a muddy, confusing atmosphere of back & forth criticism, a smokescreen, to conceal their own errors & realities from being known.

Understanding this point explains much of the weird & abrupt "regrouping" we are witnessing, and the sudden dropping of this scholar with the haphazard introduction of another in his place.

*The temporary nature of this sloppy regrouping is known by the evident expiry of the individuals in the regrouping, after only a few weeks or months. We see a scholar promoted as one of real insight this month; next month he is dropped and replaced with a new name (once he is made aware of the serious errors of those promoting him).

ستكتب شهادتهم ويسألون
"Their testimony shall be written down and they shall be questioned [about it]." (az-Zukhruf: 19)

Consider carefully who such people are, the serious errors they commit, the harm they continue to cause, and how the scholars (like Shaykh 'Arafaat - may Allah reward & preserve him) have clarified their harms and warned against them, and then ask yourself: How foolish would I be to fall for this propaganda?

[Salah al-Iranee @SalahIranee]

What Matters Is Your Final State, Not Who Once Praised You

It does not matter who praised you, who you studied under, or who once vouched for you.

If your actions, understanding, or manhaj are no longer upon the same path as those scholars who praised or recommended you, then those earlier commendations are no longer proof of your present condition.

It does not matter how great the scholar was, how highly he spoke of you, or how many years ago the praise was given. What matters is your current state, what you are upon today, and ultimately what you remain upon until death.

An example of this is ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Muljam, the man who later assassinated ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib

Al-Dhahabī said concerning the Khariji, Ibn Muljam:

“He studied the Qurʾān under Muʿādh ibn Jabal and was among the devoted worshippers. And it is said that ʿUmar wrote to ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ: ‘Bring the house of ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Muljam close to the mosque so that he may teach the people the Qurʾān and fiqh.’ So he expanded the space for his house.”

Reference: al-Dhahabī, Siyar Aʿlām al-Nubalāʾ, 2/593.

A person may have studied under the greatest of men, been trusted by people of knowledge, and once been known for worship and teaching. None of that guarantees that he will remain upon guidance.

The consideration is not merely what a person was, but what he became and what he is upon now or his final ending.

Anyone can destroy.
Anyone can post on X.
But how many consistently build and contribute to their communities?

The cultivation of the scholars vs. the culture of the internet.

8 years ago, I mentioned the importance of "well known senior duaat," and my brother Sh. @AbuHakeemBilal added a condition: as long as they are guided by our senior scholars.

Today's embarrassing struggles & counterproductive directions which some have fallen into clearly demonstrate how insightful & important his comment was!

May Allah reward & preserve him.

“I advise you to focus on knowledge and teaching it.

The truth will become clear, today, tomorrow, or the day after.

Do not let them distract you from seeking knowledge.

They will send one person to debate you today, another tomorrow, and then another.”

AI vs. Human Graphic Designers: A Few Points to Consider

[Moosaa Richardson أبو العباس موسى الطويل @1MMeducation]

This new wave of anonymous social media accounts, bold & audacious content, loud & decisive in defense of falsehood, ridiculously judgmental with wild accusations against our upright scholars... One cannot help but to wonder who & what is behind all this "cyber-butchness"?

[Abu Hakeem Bilal @AbuHakeemBilal]

Clarification concerning a voicenote of mine from 2021 that is being circulated.

It has come to my attention that there is a voicenote of mine being circulated concerning individuals speaking against Abu Iyaadh. This occurred in 2021 way before the issue developed into what it has become.

Firstly it should be known:

1. This audio was in relation to that which was being mentioned concerning some of the early writings of Abu Iyaadh regarding covid related issues, and that those writings were being used to claim that Abu Iyaadh was intending the rulers with his speech. I did not believe at the time that was the case (i.e. that he intended the rulers) and so I expressed that in that audio.

2. We advised in private that much could be misunderstood from his writings and he consequently put out a clarification concerning his intent. That was the end of that chapter. The voicenote does not relate to anything that transpired after that.

3. As for that which followed this, and continues to manifest, of ill speech concerning Ahlul Ilm wal Fadl (from them Shaikh Abdullah Al Bukhāri and Shaikh Arafāt Al Muhammadi) and the ongoing support and promotion of those who actively do so, then I DO NOT agree with any of it. No-one would have foreseen that the issue would have developed into what it has become, nor that there would be anyone in support of this.

[Abu Mu’ādh Taqweem @AbuMuadhTaqweem]

Shaikh ‘Arafāt bin Hasan Al-Muḥammadī—may Allah preserve and protect him—will, by Allāh’s permission, be participating in the upcoming knowledge-based Dawrah in the Philippines in the coming days.

This is a valuable opportunity for the people of the Philippines and those in neighboring countries to meet the Shaikh and benefit directly from his knowledge and guidance. It is an opportunity that should not be missed by anyone who is keen upon goodness and the pursuit of knowledge.

I encourage my brothers to take advantage of this opportunity and not pay attention to the words of those who seek to discourage people and turn them away from avenues of benefit and goodness.

Shaikh ‘Arafāt—may Allāh bless his efforts and increase him in success—is well known for his service to knowledge and da‘wah, as well as for teaching the people and spreading the Sunnah. Allāh has brought benefit through him to communities in numerous countries, and he has authored beneficial articles, research papers, and books from which many have benefitted.

As for those whose only concern is belittling people of virtue and casting aspersions upon their efforts, their likeness is that of one who seals off a flowing spring from which people drink, yet opens no alternative source of water for them; he neither preserves the existing benefit nor has efforts of his own to take its place.

الشيخ عرفات بن حسن المحمدي — حفظه الله ورعاه — سيشارك، بإذن الله تعالى، في الدورة العلمية المقامة في الفلبين خلال الأيام المقبلة.

وهي فرصة ثمينة لأهل الفلبين ومن جاورهم من البلدان للقاء الشيخ والاستفادة من علمه وتوجيهاته مباشرة، ولا ينبغي أن تُفوَّت على من حرص على الخير وطلب العلم.

وإني أوصي إخواني باغتنام هذه الفرصة، وعدم الالتفات إلى كلام المثبطين الذين يحولون بين الناس وبين مصادر النفع والخير. فالشيخ عرفات — بارك الله في جهوده وزاده توفيقاً وتسديداً — معروف ببذله في خدمة العلم والدعوة وفي تعليم الناس ونشر السنة، فقد نفع الله به في بلدان متعددة، وألَّف مقالاتٍ وبحوثًا وكتبًا نافعةً انتفع بها كثيرٌ من الناس.

وأما من لا همَّ له إلا الانتقاص من أهل الفضل والطعن في جهودهم، فمثله كمثل من يردم عينًا جارية ينتفع بها الناس، ثم لا يفتح لهم سبيلًا إلى ماءٍ غيرها؛ فلا أبقى على النفع القائم، ولا بذل من الجهد ما يُعوَّض به أو يُستعاض عنه.
