A short admonition on the importance of clinging to the correct manhaj. An exemplification of why this noble Salafī manhaj is the only way which will bring rectification and success to the ummah. The questions which follow underline the evils of Abū al-Fitan (al-Maʿribī) and his similitude to the methodology of Sayyid Qutb, the destruction of the manhaj of al-muwāzināt (counterbalancing the good and bad points of a person) and the mistake of carrying the mujmal upon the mufaṣṣal (the general over the specific), destruction upon the manhaj of salaf.
An advice given over ten years ago by our Shaykh, al-ʿAllāmah Rabī ibn Hādī al-Madkhalī (hafiẓahullāh) advising the Salafīs of Britain with holding fast to the rope of Allāh and avoiding splitting.
This is one of the greatest pieces of advice that the noble Scholar, the Imām of al-Jarḥ wa-al-Taʿdīl gave to brothers in England concerning the splits that occurred there. Listen to his advice concerning the clear Salafīyyīn, the clear Ḥizbiyyīn and the ones who are unsure and waver in the middle.
A brief treatise by the Imām of al-Jarḥ wa-al-Taʿdīl set to defeat the fitnah of those who attribute this Haddādiyyah to the Salafīyyīn who care for their manhaj. It includes twelve decisive points of benefit clearly outlining the difference between true Salafīyyah and Haddādiyyah. It also serves as a clarification and a challenge to Abū al-Ḥasan al-Maʿribī and his accusations against the Salafīyyīn.
A very important question answered by Shaykh Rabīʿ ibn Hādī on the 'scheme' of those who claim the scholars are of two types/groups - the lenient, easy, balanced group and the harsh, severe, critical group. An unveiling of those who hide behind the mantra, 'al-Albānī, Ibn Bāz, ʿUthyamīn' or the slogan 'I prefer the manhaj in daʿwah of Shaykh so-and-so over Shaykh so-and-so.' A reflection upon the scholars of the Salaf, their stance towards bidʿah, the mubtadiʿīn, and whether they were gentle with them; a look at the greatest of scholars in the modern era such as Imām al-Albānī, Imām Ibn Bāz and al-ʿUthaymīn and their stance towards criticising Ahl al-Bidʿah; and a timeline of modern-day innovators and their trials (ʿAbd al-Khāliq, ʿAʿrūr, al-Maʿribī and al-Ḥalabī), one by one, their silence about Ahl al-Bidʿah and their attacks upon Ahl al-Sunnah and how they pulled so many away from the Salafī Manhaj with false principles wrapped in perfumed garments - and without a doubt - they are the true causers of division.
A manhaj-based discourse delivered in the Masjid of Imām Ibn Bāz (raḥimahullāh) in the city of Ṭāʾif, Saudi al-ʿArabīa. This knowledge-filled lecture by the flag bearer of al-Jarḥ wa-al-Taʿdīl is followed by commentary and praise from the late Imām, ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAbdullāh Ibn Bāz (raḥimahullāh).
A questioner asks the noble Scholar, Shaykh Rabīʿ ibn Hādī al-Madkhalī a question stating: I am new to Salafīyyah, which is the truth, and I do not know what I should do now?
Shaykh Rabī ibn Hādī al-Madkhalī gives beautiful and beneficial advice which all Muslims should adhere to: fear Allāh, seek knowledge, be truthful, and other pieces of advice which are essential in the life of the Muslim. This advice is translated by our beloved brother Abū Ṭalḥah Dawūd ibn Ronald Burbank (rahimahullāh), with a Q&A session at the end. The lecture took place at Masjid al-Salafī (Salafī Publications) in Birmingham, UK (2004).
