Historical Benefit: An incident that occurred to Shaykh ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Fāris (d. 1359 AH)
Shaykh Ḥammūd al-Tuwayjirī, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
“Among the stories is what was narrated to us by Shaykh ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Fāris ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Fāris, who was from the residents of Riyadh. He said:
A great flood came through Wādī Ḥanīfah in the year 1359 AH, sweeping away the side adjacent to the graves of the Companions who were killed on the Day of al-Yamāmah in the year 11 AH. As a result, an opening appeared in one of the graves facing the valley, and the body of the deceased within that grave became visible.
Shaykh ʿAbd al-Raḥmān said: News of this reached me while I was in the area of al-Jubaylah, so I hurried there. I found that the grave was elevated on the side of the valley and could only be reached by a ladder.
He said: I brought some wooden planks, leaned them against the grave, and climbed up. I saw the deceased in his grave unchanged, as if he were sleeping. He had been shrouded in a white cloth, tied with palm fibers. His face, eyes, teeth, and legs were visible, and a braid of his hair, about an arm’s length, had come out and hung outside the grave.
He said: I lifted it and placed it back into the shroud. Then I placed my hand on the side of his face, and it was as though I had placed it on a sleeping person.
His face was fair with a slight brownness, and what appeared of his beard was mixed with gray. His eyes were slightly open. The palm fibers with which the shroud had been tied remained green in color, though dry.
He said: When the people of al-Jubaylah and those around it learned of this, they began coming to see him.
Then the imam of the people of al-Jubaylah and the head of the Committee for Enjoining Good and Forbidding Evil went to Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm Āl al-Shaykh and informed him. He instructed them to take men with them along with a bier to carry the body, and to dig a grave for him at night in the middle of the cemetery, bury him, and conceal the location of his grave so that people would not be put to trial because of him. So they did.”
End of quote.
Then Shaykh Ḥammūd said:
“There is no doubt that this deceased was among the martyrs who were killed in the battle between the Companions and the followers of Musaylimah the Liar. It is possible that he was one of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, as it is widely known among the people that the graves in that area belong to the Companions. It is also possible that he was among those who fought alongside the Companions but was not one of them, though the first possibility is more likely, and Allah knows best.
Between the Battle of al-Yamāmah and the appearance of this body were 1,348 years. Despite this long period, the martyr remained as he was, unchanged, and neither his shroud nor the palm fibers tying it had altered. In this is a lesson for those of sound intellect and understanding.”

Watched the whole thing and I cannot believe how this Shadi individual together with his complicit John are recycling the same tired 2005-style Sufi-Rafidi arguments in defence of calling upon other than Allah in dua.
Most sinister of all is the attempt to conflate reports such as the narration of the Sahabah saying, 'Ya Muhammad', during battle with the Sufi-Rafidi practice of directing supplication, i.e. acts of worship, to buried saints for all of one's needs. Or the narration of Ibn Umar's (RA) numb leg, where he remembered his beloved, which was simply an Arab custom, one also found in other cultures, and has absolutely nothing to do with Quburi istighathah, where people invoke, beseech and seek madad from buried imams and pirs.
These are fundamentally different issues, yet these human devils deliberately blur the distinction to give calling upon other than Allah in dua, seeking madad and the rest of their shirk, a false veneer of legitimacy. They cannot defend what they actually do on its own merits, so they have to resort to deliberate conflation, false analogies and deception. That's all these recycled 2005 Quburi shubuhat have ever been.
The British Celebrated the Destruction of the First Saudi State
Francis Warden (1775-1853), Late East India Company Director and formerly Chief Secretary at Bombay, celebrated the Ottoman destruction of the First Saudi State, citing the Wahhābīs’ attacks against British ships in and around the Arabian Gulf.
• Francis Warden said in 1819:
❝Thus rose and fell—[and] it is to be hoped never to rise again—the extraordinary sect of the Wahhābīs, under whose protection and encouragement maritime depredations were carried on in the Gulf, and in the Indian seas, with a degree of success, audacity, and barbarity, which has been surpassed only by the atrocities of the Algerines in Europe.❞

@Shuounislamiya This person always harbors hatred toward Salafi scholars. His way of speaking is consistently disrespectful and Indecent. You will never see him speak out against shirki beliefs within his own circle. Yet, many of our Salafi brothers show a great deal of leniency towards him.
According to Daniel Haqiqatjou’s ridiculous logic, Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq (رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ) should’ve merely denounced the apostates verbally and not used the powers of the state to physically fight and eliminate them, because fighting is really evil apparently.
Other scholars during the time of Sh Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Wahhāb weren’t able to curb the phenomenon of polytheism and irreligiousity as effectively because their rulers opposed the daʾwah and actively threatened those who supported it.
• Here is a letter from Ismāʾīl al-Jarrāʿī from Yemen to Sh Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Wahhāb, stating:
❝People have split regarding you between one who praises and one who disparages. What pleased me about you is your establishment of the Sharīʿah in this latter time and in the estrangement of Islām—that you call to it and uphold its pillars. By Allāh, besides Whom there is no deity, despite what we are in among our people, we are not able to do what you are able to do in clarifying the truth, proclaiming it openly, and calling to it.❞

With this shaytanic emotionalist logic, every bid'ah, heresy and deviation in Islamic history suddenly becomes 'valid' because it gave people identity, unity, emotional release or psychological comfort
- Rafidi self-flagellation and excessive ritualised wailing becomes 'trauma processing' and love for Ahl al-Bayt
- Shrine worship and calling upon buried saints becomes 'spiritual attachment' and 'love for the Awliya'
- Absurd and deranged Sufi dancing rituals, filled with pagan-like screaming, trance behaviour, and evangelical church-style movements, suddenly become rebranded as 'hadrah' (some of them even call it what it is i.e. raqs!) and spiritually legitimate merely because some late scholars showed limited leniency towards certain bodily movements during dhikr.
That is exactly how deviation expands over time: a small concession becomes a doorway for full-blown theatrics and invented bid'i rituals. This is literally how corrupt religious traditions evolve over centuries. The Christians did not wake up one morning worshipping saints, kissing relics, marching in rituals, and chanting and dancing inside churches. These things developed gradually through emotionalism, symbolism and invented spirituality until bid'ah became religion itself.
The same disease infected deviant sects within this Ummah:
- Safawi-Persianised Rafidism with its Karbala cultism and Emom obsession.
- Extreme Sufism with its shrine theatrics and mystical performances.
With regard to these foolish and heretical hadrah/raqs rituals, everything gets whitewashed through flimsy arguments and blatant logical fallacies that almost always collapse into an appeal to authority, where some later scholars are invoked as though mere scholarly status automatically legitimises practices completely alien to the way of the Sahabah and the Salaf.
Thie logic destroys the very concept of Sunnah and turns religion into endless evolving theatre.
And Ibn Mas'us, may Allah be pleased with him, already demolished their arguments 1400 years ago when he saw people sitting in circles doing collective dhikr with pebbles in the mosque. They told him:
'We only intended GOOD.'
He replied:
"How many people intend good but NEVER attain it."
Then he warned them:
'Either you are upon a path more guided than Muhammad, peace be upon him, or you are opening a door of misguidance."
So no, it does not matter if these rituals were practised by Chechen Sufi warriors who fought Russian kafarah. Military bravery and participation in jihad do not suddenly transform heresy into Sunnah. A ritual act of worship remains a ritual act of worship, and falsehood does not become truth because those practising it also achieved good in other areas. Simple as.
There is a reason why the sound fitrah is naturally repulsed by these absurd theatrical rituals, whether it is foot-stomping hadrah, screaming performances, or pagan majoosi Rafidi mourning ceremonies. The more extreme and invented the ritual becomes, the more the healthy fitrah recoils from it. Nobody with a sound heart feels instinctive disgust towards genuine worship like salah, ruku, sujud, Qur'an recitation, or dignified dhikr. But these exaggerated heretical shenanigans immediately strike people with a somewhat sound fitrah as excessive, and spiritually corrupted.
Stick to the Sunnah.
@AyKarT0 I honestly can’t grasp what kind of da’wah they talk about! What sort of “call to Islam” is this, where Tawheed is treated like it barely matters? When someone stands openly with shirk and kufr, their sense of honor doesn’t even stir! Are they really calling to Allah’s path?
In Surat Hud, practically the entire stretch of the surah moves through prophet after prophet with each of them basically saying the exact same line to their people: worship Allah; you have no god besides Him.
If those same prophets were speaking in our time, they’d be told this is bad for unity and quietly smeared as serving the wrong agenda.
Intellectual conflict through the war between Iran and the Zionists
By Shaykh Abu Hafs Sufyan al-Jaza’iri (may Allah preserve him)
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate
One of the divine wisdoms of Allah in times of tribulations is that they serve as a test and a purification. The more a person is grounded in their creed, sincerity, and devotion to Allah, the more Allah grants them insight into these events and inspires them with sound judgment in taking positions regarding them. I ask my Lord, the Most Generous, the Most Great, to keep our feet firm upon pure Tawheed, understanding it, acting upon it, showing loyalty for its sake, and disavowing for its sake.
The ongoing war between Iran,the Rafidi government, on one side, and the Zionists, whether Jewish or Christian, on the other, has led many among the intellectual elite to adopt differing positions, each driven by their own motives. If the matter were merely about rejoicing at the victory of one side over another, it might be of lesser concern. However, when it leads to diminishing the doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa, or downplaying the misguidance and disbelief in which all the warring parties are immersed, or trivializing the geopolitical consequences should one side prevail, this is where the real danger and deviation lie.
I am not speaking about those who wish for the victory of the Zionists, such a foolish stance is closer to apostasy.
Rather, I speak about the second group who diluted the issue and confused the people. This is clear misguidance, dangerous deviation, intellectual naïveté, and ignorance, or deliberate disregard, of reality and history, unless one adopts their doctrine; otherwise, one is labeled with disbelief and apostasy.
May Allah preserve our brother, Professor Ali Farid al-Hashimi, who said:
“The great success of Iran lies in manufacturing ‘Iranized Islamists.’ You read their names and feel as if you are reading: Shaykh ‘Khorramshahr,’ Islamic researcher ‘Sejjil,’ Islamic thinker ‘Fattah 2.’ This is Iran’s real success, these are its true missiles, used to corrupt the beliefs of Muslims and obscure their minds.” End quote.
This is what we have observed from some of the “elite,” in their defense of the Rafidah and their disavowal of what those (Rafidah) themselves believe in and boast about. This reflects the naïveté of such “elite.” Ustadh Hazem al-Waziri did well in his beneficial series “The Evident Response”, in which he clarified the beliefs of the Rafidah far removed from the naïve emotionalism displayed by some of the “elite.”
Among them are those who frame the issue as: either you support the Rafidah, or you are with the Zionists. This approach reflects a state of psychological defeatism.
Others claim to speak with wisdom, advising the people of the Sunnah to refrain from speaking about the Rafidah on the grounds that they are fighting Zionism. But where was this “wisdom” when a faction of the people of the Sunnah was fighting against global powers? Instead, you opposed them, turned people away from them, and even rejoiced at their being killed at the hands of Jews, Crusaders, Rafidah, and apostates. Or do you consider that faction more misguided and criminal than your Rafidi allies?
This Ummah, even in its later times, has produced noble men who defend its creed, lands, honor, and wealth, not for personal agendas, false ideologies, or manipulative political calculations, but to please the Lord of creation and to raise the word of Allah alone. They were correct in some matters and erred in others, as is the nature of human effort. These leaders and righteous scholars are more deserving of being highlighted and presented to the Ummah as models in supporting its causes. We do not need to promote those who oppose our creed and fight our Ummah, then resort to flawed methods to defend what they themselves openly boast of in disbelief and misguidance.
This deviant approach ......

Hundreds of years after his death and he is still infuriating the Mushrikeen and deviants.
