In the Name of Allaah, Ar-Rahmaan, Ar-Raheem...
An excerpt from the 2008 'Aqeedah Series delivered by our brother Moosaa Richardson:
In discussing Chapter 11 باب مقلب القلوب / The One Who Turns the Hearts:
And the laazim of that chapter, the implementation, the way you affirm it, [is] of course Allaah controls the hearts, and we know that the hearts are between the two of the fingers of ar-Rahmaan; He turns them however He pleases. We affirm for Allah fingers, and we affirm for Allah the turning of the hearts, in a manner that befits His majesty. And the laazim of that, or the way we implement that after affirming it is that we make du'aa for ourselves, for our hearts to be made firm upon the deen of Allaah. And that we make du'aa for those people it might seem that their case is hopeless, that they are misguided. That we make du'aa for them to be guided because Allaah is the One Who is, the One Who has the qudrah (ability), to turn the hearts however He pleases.
So, we do not feel that the people are lost. And one way that's a common manifestation that sometimes Muslims lose hope and despair in their brothers in Islaam who are astray or on different ideologies, is they say, “Those people are lost”. And this is a prohibited phrase for the Muslim to say. Rather, he should never say this and he should follow what is the laazim of this chapter, that Allaah is the turner of the hearts and we have hope for the Muslims and we make du'aa for the Muslims. Why do we not say that the Muslims are lost? Because the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam said, “من قال هلك الناس, فهو أهلكُهم”1 "Whoever has said that the people are lost (or destroyed, they're gone), then he is the one who is most gone (he is the most destroyed of them)." And in one narration, “فهو أهلكَهم”, “He is the one who has actually destroyed them (past tense verb)”, by his statement “هلك الناس”.
When a person says, think about when a person says, “هلك الناس”, “the people are lost”, what do you think his part will be in giving da'wah? And making strong efforts to guide the people when his position is the people are lost? Zero! He won't do anything because the people are lost. Rather, if he says the people have hope and Allaah is مقلب القلوب, then how do you think his efforts would be in da'wah? Earnest! And he'll be, he'll struggle and he'll work for the guidance of the people by Allaah's permission.
So be aware of saying phrases similar to “the people are lost”, “the people are misguided”, “there's no hope for them”; these are prohibited phrases and they are, in actuality, phrases that lead a person to become from the Khawaarij. How is that? What's the da'wah of the Khawaarij built on? “The people are lost, that's why we have to kill them. The Muslims are all Kuffaar.2 The people who are ascribing to Islaam, they're all disbelievers and they're lost; that's why their blood is halaal and that's why we have to destroy them; that's why we have to take out their leaders; that's why we have to destroy and kill and blow them up.” Because why? هلك الناس” 'the people are lost'. “The only way to correct the situation is to rid the Earth of all of them.” It's a da'wah of frustration, whereas our da'wah is a da'wah of patience. Our da'wah is a da'wah of effort and believing in Allaah 'azza wa jall that He is, مقلب القلوب. All of that goes back to the meaning of this chapter.

2 Editor's Note: Similar to the statements from Abdullah Faisal al-Khaarijee al-Jamaykee when he said, “So the Muslims in this country (i.e. the UK), the majority of them, they have no eemaan and no taqwaa, the average Muslim you meet on the street he has no eemaan and no taqwaa…” – in a lecture entitled, "Knowledge". Also reminiscent of the statements from Sayyid Qutb such as, “There is not a Muslim country upon the face of the earth or even a Muslim community with social principles based on Allah’s legislation or on Islamicunderstanding.” - In The Shade Of The Quraan, 4/2122

In the Name of Allaah, Ar-Rahmaan, Ar-Raheem...
‘Imraan ibn Hitaan, as-Sunnee (meaning that he was a sunnee) thumma (then he became a) al-Khaarijee: He adopted the madh-hab of the khawaarij during the later stages of his life. The reason for that was his cousin (female) was of the madh-hab of the khawaarij, so he wanted to make her change, however she ended up making him change to her madh-hab!1 Ibn Katheer further stated: “‘Imraan ibn Hitaan Al-Khaarijee: At first he was from Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah. However he married a very beautiful woman from the Khawaarij and he loved her immensely, whereas he was unattractive. Thus he wanted to change her to the Sunnah but she refused, hence he deviated along with her to her madh-hab. He was a prolific poet. He is the one who praised the killer of ‘Alee (‘Abdur-Rahman ibn Muljim) by stating the following:
"A strike from an ever-repentant one; he did not do it except to attain the pleasure of the One who possesses the ‘Arsh. Indeed I will always remember this act for I consider him one to be of the most faithful servants in the sight of Allaah."2
Imaam adh-Dhahabee's wife told him, "I and you will be in Jannah together because you were blessed (i.e. to have a very pretty wife) and you showed gratitude, and I was tested and I was patient."3 As Abu ‘Aaliyyah said, “Two favors Allaah bestowed upon me and I don’t know which is greater than the other: the first one is that He made me a Muslim, and second is that He did not make me a Harooree (i.e. a Khaarijee).”4

In the Name of Allaah, Ar-Rahmaan, Ar-Raheem...
Our brother Moosaa Richardson whilst reading through the book entitled, "Methods the People of Falsehood Use to Establish their Baatil - Exposed" by Shaykh Muhammad Ibn 'Umar Bazmool, may Allah preserve him, mentioned a very important issue concerning reading the books of the innovators. Many of us have heard the erroneous statement, "take the good and leave the bad", which in essence does not make any sense at all in this situation. This act of taking the good and leaving the bad would require a person, in advance, to have knowledge of the good and the bad to be able to filter out what would harm him. If he had this ability he wouldn't need this source at all in the first place.
Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allaah have mercy on him, commented on one of the most famous explanations of the Qur'aan from the Mu'tazilah entitled, "al-Kashaaf". This tafseer has been read by many, both in the past and the present who fell for the high level of eloquence and literature in this book. Similarly today we find many reading and quoting from the deviant Sayyid Qutb and his misguided tafseer, "In the Shade of the Qur'aan" (Fi Zilal al-Qur'an). Again, people are not basing this on its concurrence to the sunnah, but rather they are attached to the eloquence exhibited by the author.
Listen to see what Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah had to say about this book (al-Kashaaf) and those who read it - An Important Principle to Understand!
