Upbringing: I was brought up in the area alAkaarimat in the province Jabal Al-Hashmi Al-
Shamali, and it is one of the areas of easternAmaan.
As regards my Academic upbringing: then I enrolled in the systematic schools until I
graduated from high school, then I enrolled in the Shareeah Institute in Jabal al Weibdeh,
so I earned a diploma with a speciality in Imamate and Preaching, then I proceeded in my
studies until I earned a Bachelors in Shareeah.
And as regards my religious upbringing: I was brought up and all praise is due to Allaah-
in a religious environment, so Allaah blessed me with being observant of the prayer while I
was still not up to 7 years old, and I was brought up in the environment of the Masaajid and
praise is due to Allaah, so I joined the elementary school of the Masjid and I read all of the
noble Quran with the narration of Hafs from Aasim, and I learned the rulings of Tajweed
from a number of youths and my teachers in atTakruri mosque in Al-Hashmi Al-Shamali,
which is considered as the second mosque as regards the Masaajid of the Salafi dawah in
all Jordan at that time after Masjid asSalik and in which its Khutbah was deputised to our
Shaykh and uncle Muhammad Ibraaheem Shaqrah3, May Allaah heal him and pardon him,
3 [TN]: Born in Palestine in 1934AD he studied at alAzhar University Egypt, married the sister of his colleague
Shaykh Ahmad Muhammad Saalik ashShinqetee, then he taught at the Islaamic University of Madinah where hemet Shaykh ibn Baaz, who used to advise people to regard him as the Scholar of Shaam, he played a big role inspreading the Salafi dawah in Jordan when it was still unknown (he used to say to his wife: if my head wasremoved from my body, I will not stop until Allaah fulfils his destiny in me (I become lifeless), so it is either theManhaj becomes apparent, or I come to an end (pass away)); he was a major helper of Shaykh alAlbaani when he
had difficulties, and the Imaam of his Janaazah when he passed away. See his biography written by his sonShaykhAasim: http://www.saaid.net/Doat/ehsan/89.htm accessed 26 Feb. 2014

with our Shaykh Ahmad Saalik asShinqeetee4 -Rahimahullaah-, where our uncle gives the
khutbah at alTakruri one Jumaah and Shayk h Ahmad Saalik gives the Khutbah at the next,
so I was raised and all praise is due to Allaah as a Salafi not knowing of the innovation of
taSawwuf, nor the stain of hizbiyyah, so nothing stroke my attention except the dawah of
truth.
So knowledge was beloved to me since I was little, and that was not strange, since I was
brought in the midst of lofty scholars and I always used to be frequent around them, and
they are our Shaykh and uncle Muhammad Shaqra and our Shaykh Ahmad asSaalik and his
father our Sahykh Muhammad asSaalik May Allaahs mercy be upon them all-.
Then Allah blessed me with the companionship of our Shaykh Muhammad Naseeb
arRufaai5, as he migrated from Allepo to Jordan, and settled in Al-Hashmi Al-Shamali and
he was a lone stranger, so my uncle advised me with being in his company, and sticking to

scholars, he studied with his father and then attended the alAzhar University in Egypt, where he became friendswith Shaykh Muhammad Shaqra, he travelled to meet and befriend alAlbaani in Damascus, and was known forhis humility and avoiding popularity. He was verymuch loved by Shaykh Naseeb alRufaai who used to call himeveryday while he (Ahmad asSaalik) was sick in the hospital until Shaykh Naseeb died and Shaykh Ahmad
asSaalik was still in the hospital. He was also loved and praised by alAlbaani and ibn Baaz, he died due to distress20 days after the death of his wife, in 2010AD and was buried close to Shaykh alAlbaani.

Usool Thalaatha and Kitaab atTawheed and Kashf Shubuhaat, and like this I progressed
with him until I benefitted from him great benefit and I benefitted from his companionship
great good.
Then Allaah blessed me to know Shaykh alAlbaani Rahimahullaah- so initially I started to
call on the telephone, then I accompanied him in his gatherings, lessons and travels, then
Allaah blessed me to work in his library, where I was honoured to be his secretary and
copyist Rahimahullaah- for five years, we were both on the same table, drinking from his
knowledge and seeking from his guidance and wisdom Rahimahullaahu-.

praise is due to Allah-.

Introduction
Reasons the Children of Islaam attack the Salafi Dawah
Chapter 1: Introduction to the Salafi Dawah
What is Salafiyyah?
To whom is it ascribed?
Who are the Salaf asSaalih?
Is ascribing to the Salaf considered as an ascription to a person or group of people?
Is it correct for anyone to claim the founding of the Salafi Dawah?
What are the principles of the Salafi Dawah?
From the Principles of the Salafi Dawah is: (following the methodology of the Salaf
asSaalih)
How are we able to identify the methodology of the Salaf asSaalih?
Is it compulsory for every Muslim to become a Salafi?
Where have we gotten this infallibility?
Chapter 2: ims and Objectives of the Salafi Dawah
What are the aims of the Salafi Dawah?

What is the ideal approach according to the Salafis- towards solving the problems of the
Muslims today?
Do the Salafis intend to gather all the Muslims upon a MadhHab?
Does the Salafi Dawah demand that thelaymen derive Shareeah rulings directly from the
book and the Sunnah without returning to the people of knowledge?
Chapter 3: The Stance of the Salafi Dawah towards Islaamic groups
Do the Salafis consider it permissible to have numerous groups in the Muslim society?
What is your opinion regarding group organisations or group work?
Does a person become a Salafi just by claiming to be?
Why is Salafiyyah claimed by one who is not from it?
What is the view of the Salafis regarding dividing the religion into pulp and peel?
Chapter 4: Differing and splitting amongst the Salafis and the issue of the MadhaaHib and
Fiqh alWaaqi
There is a clear division which has appeared amongst the Salafis, followers of the Manhaj of
the Salaf asSaalih (pious predecessors), so what is your advice for us?
Does a Muslim leave Salafiyyah if he differs with the Manhaj of the Salaf in some issues of
Ijtihaad?
Do the Salafis disapprove of the madhaaHib of the four Imaams?

Introduction
Surely all praise is due to Allaah, we praise Him, we seek His help, we seek His
forgiveness, and we seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of ourselves, and our actions,
whoever Allaah guides then none can misguide and whoever He misguides then none can
guide.
And I bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship (in truth) except Allaah
alone without any partners-, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and
messenger.
O you who believe! Have Taqwa of All aah as is His due, and die not except as (true)Muslims Q3: 102
O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Aadam), andfrom him, He created his wife [Hawaa (Eve)], and from them both He created many menand women, and fear Allaah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do notcut the relations of) the wombs (kinship) . Surely, Allaah is Ever an All-Watcher over you Q4: 1
a
O you who believe! Have Taqwa of Allaah , and speak (always) the truth He will direct
you to do righteous good deeds and will forgive you your sins. And whosoever obeysAllaah and His Messenger has indeed achieved a great achievement (i.e. he will be saved
from the Hell-fire and made to enter Paradise) Q33: 70&71

As to what follows:
Indeed the noble and blessed Salafi Dawah has received a ferocious attack from the
enemies of Allaah, and this is neither strange nor weird; for indeed Allaah Subhaanahu wa
taaala- had said:
They intend to put out the Light of Allaah (i.e. the religion of Islaam, this Qur'aan, andProphet Muhammad) with their mouths. But Allaah will complete His Light even though
the disbelievers hate (it). Q61: 8
And he -Subhaanahu wa taaala- said:
Verily, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder (men) from the Path of Allaah,and so will they continue to spend it; but in the end it will become an anguish for them.
Then they will be overcome. And those who disbelieve will be gathered unto Hell. Q8: 36
And the verses regarding this are many.
However what is strange and weird is the Salafi Dawah receives an attack, defamation and
oppression from the sons of Islaam, and from some of the Duaats of Islaamic groups!
And may Allaahs mercy be on the one who said:
And the oppression of the close one is more painful
to a man, than the strike of the sharp edge of an Indian sword
And if you ponder on the reasons of these attacks from the sons of Islaam themselves; you
find that it can be traced to a number of issues:

rise of the Muslims, and their hearts are not pleased with the calls and cries that calls for
the Muslims to return to the religion and their honour.
I say: there are many reasons, and currently that is not the subject I intend to explain, but
that which concerns me now is to clarify to the noble reader that the group which is
intended in this article of mine is the first group; and they are those that are ignorant of the
Salafi Dawah and its origins, and those that knew about the Salafi Dawah from the
malicious media, from the leased pens and from the people of hate and envy; so they
ascribed to Salafiyyah that which it is innocent of, like the innocence of the fox as regards
the blood of Yoosuf -as it is said-.
So they ascribed to it Takfeer of the Muslims! Despite (the fact) that the Imaams of
Salafiyyah are the ones that debated the Takfiriyeen and the Khawaarij, past and present.
And they ascribed to it permitting (shedding of) the peoples blood! Despite (the fact) that its
Imaams are the ones that enlightened the people about the sacredness of the Muslims
blood, his wealth and his honour, and they warned from the tribulation of terrorism which
has filled the land oppressively.
And other than that from doubts and lies (that) the media and leased pens cannot deny its
frequent reoccurrence, exactly as the western media does by defaming the image of Islaam
in its media and by its means of communication.
And so that the picture can become clear to you my brother, the reader-, and you will
know the real meaning of the Salafi Dawah of rightful guidance; I love to mention to you
its definition, its principles and what it calls to, from the speech of an Imaam amongst its
Imaams, rather he was the bearer of its flag and its biggest caller in the lands of Shaam;
verily he is my Shaykh, my Ustaadh, the Imaam Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen alAlbaani
Rahimahullaah-; who had dedicated himself for a time more than half a century for the
Salafi Dawah: in definition, fundamentals, knowledge, teaching, defending and purifying

for Islaam from that which has been attached to it, from polytheism, innovations,
superstitions, hoaxes, weak, detested and fabricated ahaadeeth, and thus calling people to
this puritanised Islaam; in training and in conduct.
And every time he Rahimahullaah- complained about the decline in manners of the
Muslims, rather in the manners of some that ascribe to Islaamic movements; and he
Rahimahullaah- said: I am sorry to say frankly(that): there is an outcry, and there is an
academic awakening, however there is no improvement in manners and correction of the
behaviour of the Muslims, even the students of knowledge amongst them; talk less of other
than them, even those that ascribe to the Sunnah and to acting according to the Hadeeth, so
we find a lot of complaints coming from many of them16.
And he Rahimahullaah- said: All of this fallsinto the bad manners of the Muslims today,
and it is not possible to cover these issues that are very many, and how beautiful is what is
narrated from Shawqi of Egypt17, that he said:
Nations are nothing but their manners, as long as it remains
For if their manners leave, they leave 18
I say : rather every time our Shaykh Rahimahullaah- complains and cries about the
situation of the general Muslims, and what has afflicted them from lowliness and weakness;
and he Rahimahullaah- said: and from that which there is no doubt unfortunately- is
that the Muslims today are humiliated in all places except what Allaah wills-, and what
humiliation is greater than the occupation of the most lowly of people (Jews) of the holy
land which is Palestine, and the Muslims are looking at them, and they are listening to the

uprisings everyday in which a lot of Muslims are killed, and the Muslims around them are
looking on and getting amused!!
There is no doubt that this is from the greatest affliction which has met the Muslims19
Hence our Shaykh Rahimahullaah- strained his body; and worked round the clock in his
struggle and brainstorming towards finding a solution that will return to the Muslims their
country and their honour, and free their minds and their intellects from the worship of
other than Allaah, and free their behaviour from cultures and behaviours of the disbelievers
and the polytheist, just as to free their lands and countries from the colonialism of the
oppressors and disbelievers,so he found Rahimahullaah- that there is no escape for the
Ummah out of their tribulation and calamity except through the Salafi Dawah of guidance,
established upon two principal pillars which are: (atTaSfiyah wa atTarbiyah).
Our Shaykh Rahimahullaah- said: Indeed the Islamic groups of present times have
differed in view in describing the solution to return the Muslims to their glory and their
honour of old times, and they are able to evict the enemy and oppressor, and that which we
see and we do not doubt it:is what we continue to hum about in this type of situation, what
we call : (atTaSfiyah wa atTarbiyah), and this two principal pillars is a must to actualise the
desired restoration; to return the Muslims to their old glory.
And I mean whenever I say (atTaSfiyah): purifying the religion from that which has entered
into it from all aspects of the religion; whether it is that which has entered into the beliefs,
worship, manners or into the behaviours or other than that from the many branches of the
religion20.
Then he said Rahimahullaah- : then the second thing which I mean by the word
(atTarbiyah): (is that) it is behoving that this taSfiyah be accompanied by grooming of the
Muslims upon this pristine Islaam.

So join me O brother, the reader- so we can live out (together) the words of our Shaykh
alAlbaani Rahimahullaah- in his definition of the Salafi Dawah, and by its blessed
Manhaj; to resume an Islamic life21, until you reach its reality, and you dont fall after (that)
into its enmity or demonizing its people; so you can be from a people (whom) Allaah says
about them:
It is only those who believe not in the Aayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs,
revelations, etc.) of Allaah, who fabricate falsehood, and it is they who are liars. Q16: 105
And may Allaahs blessings be upon our Master Muhammad and upon his household and
his companions all together.

Introduction to the Salafi Dawah22
Q: What is Salafiyyah?
Ans:asSalafiyyah is the understanding of the book (of Allaah) and the Sunnah,
an authentic understanding upon the Manhaj of the Salaf asSaalih23.
Q: Who is it ascribed to?
Ans:asSalafiyyah: is an ascription to the Salaf asSaalih24.
Q: Who are the Salaf asSaalih?
Ans:the Salaf : are the people of the (first) three generations; those whom the
messenger of Allaah Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam- bore witness to their nobility in the
authentic Hadeeth which is Mutawaatir reported by both alBukhaari and Muslim and other
than both of them, from a large group of companions, from the Prophet Salallaahu alaihi

wasSalam- that he said: ((the best of mankind is my generation, then those that follow them,
then those that follow them))25.
So Salafiyyah ascribes to this Salaf and the Salafiyoon ascribe themselves to these
Salaf 26.
Q: Is the ascription to the Salaf counted as an ascription to a person or to a group
people?
Ans:this is not an ascription to a person or group of people, like the ascription of
other groups present today in the Islaamic lands, this is not an ascription to a person,
neither is it to tens of people, rather this ascription is an ascription to infallibility; that is
because it is impossible for the Salaf asSaalih to gather together upon misguidance, and in
contrast to that are the Khalaf!
For nothing is available in the Shari as a praise for the Khalaf, rather there is dispraise
of their lot, and that is at the end of the previous hadeeth; where he Alaihi Salam- said:
((then there will come after them a people bearing witness, and their witness was not
sought))27, to the end of the hadeeth.
As he Alaihi Salam- pointed to that in another hadeeth where there is a praise for a
group of Muslims, and disparagement for their lot, by the understanding of the hadeeth,where he Alaihi Salam- said: ((there will not cease to be a group from my Ummah,
apparent upon the truth; they will not be harmed by whomsoever opposes them, until
Allaahs command comes))28, or ((until the hour is established)).

We say: the foundations of the Salafi Dawah as everyone knows- is established upon
three pillars:
The first Pillar: is the noble Quraan.
The second pillar: is the Sunnah .. and (I mean) the authentic Sunnah.
And the Salafis in all lands of the Dunya are focused upon this angle (the authentic
Sunnah); that is because the Sunnah by the consensus of people of knowledge- has surely
been adulterated with what is not from it since more than ten centuries, this is an issue in
which there is no disagreement about; hence it is from what is agreed upon also- that the
Sunnah must be purified from that which has entered into it from what is not part of it.
And because of that the Salafis accept that this second foundation (the Sunnah), it
is not behoving to be taken upon its current (state); because it contains the weak and the
fabricated from that which is not permissible to adopt; even in (simply) virtuous deeds.
This is the second foundation, and this is close to being agreed upon by the
Muslims, both the Salaf and the Khalaf.
The third Pillar: and it is from what differentiates the Salafi Dawah from all other
calls established today upon the surface of the earth;(and) whatever is from it (other calls)
which is from Islaam (and is) accepted, and whatever is from it which is not from Islaam
except a name (an Islamic name), so the Salafi Dawah is distinguished by this third pillar
(and) behold for it is:
That it is compulsory to understand the Quraan and Sunnah in accordan ce to the
Manhaj of the Salaf asSaalih from the Sahaabah, the Tabieen and their followers, that is: the
three generations whom witness was bore to of their nobility through texts of many well
known ahaadeeth.
And this is from what we have spoken about on various occasions, and we have
brought sufficing proofs which has made us to assert that anyone that intends to
8/10/2019 Salafi Da'wah Its Aims and Its Stance Towards Its Opposers 141123162846 Conversion Gate01
26/89
25
understand Islaam from the book and the Sunnah without this third pillar will come up
with a new Islaam! And the greatest proof for that are the Islaamic sects that continue to
increase everyday; and the reason for that is:their inconformity to this Manhaj which is:
the book, the Sunnah and the Understanding of the Salaf asSaalih.
Thus; we find now in the Islaamic world a group which has reappeared, rising upon
us from Egypt, and then spreading its ideas and its poison in a large (part) of the Islaamic
world, claiming that they are upon the book and the Sunnah, and how close is their claims
to the claims of the Khawaarij; for they also- used to claim to cling to the book and the
Sunnah, however they used to explain the book and the Sunnah according to their desires,
and they pay no heed at all to the understanding of the Salaf asSaalih; and especially the
Sahaabah.
And I have met a lot of personalities from these people, and not too long ago in Jordan
for the second time I debated one of their leaders, and he proclaimed that he does not
consider the exegesis of the (Quraanic) verses, even if it has come from tens of the
Sahaabah! Meaning that: if the exegesis had come from tens of the Sahaabah, he does not
accept this exegesis since he does not consider it!!
And this (one) that is saying this statement is incapable of reading a verse without
incorrect pronunciations, mistakes and errors in it!
This is the reason for the deviation of the Khawaarij of old times, those who were pure
Arabs, so what do we say about the current Khawaarij of today, those whom if are not
considered to be truly non-Arabs, then they are Arabs that have been un-Arabized, and they
are not non-Arabs that have been Arabized?!
This is their reality, so these (people) proclaim that they do not accept the exegesis of
the text at all, except if the Salaf are agreed upon it, this is what one of them says deceitfully
and in misguidance.

Hell - what an evil destination), so why has he said: and follows other than the believers'
way ?
So that no one will be deceived, and will not say:I understood the Quraan like that,
and I understood the Sunnah like that, so it is said to him: it is compulsory that you
understand the Quraan and the Sunnah according to the way of the Salaf, the first and
foremost believers.
And indeed this text from the Quraan is supported by texts from the messengers
ahaadeeth Alaihi Salam-, like the hadeeth of the sects, he said Alaihi Salam-: ((all of it is
in the fire except one)), they (the Sahaabah) said: who is it O messenger of Allaah? He said
in a narration: ((the Jamaaah))31, and in another: ((what I and my companions are upon))32.
Why did he describe the saved sect to be upon what the Jamaaah was upon, and it is
the Jamaaah of the messenger Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam-? So that the road will be
obstructed for the twisters and those that play with the texts33.
Q: From the foundations of the SalafiDawah: (is to follow the Manhaj of the Salaf
asSaalih), so) how are we able to identify the Manhaj of the Salaf asSaalih?
Ans:we are not able to except through (the following):
Firstly : the Book (of Allaah)
Secondly : the Sunnah
Thirdly : narrations of the Salaf, and this is demanded that the Salafi preachers pay
attention to knowing the narrations of the Salaf as they pay attention to knowing the
31 Reported by Ahmad (16,937) and Ibn Maajah (3993)
32 Reported by atTirmidhee (2641)
33 Tape ((the Salafi Dawah))
8/10/2019 Salafi Da'wah Its Aims and Its Stance Towards Its Opposers 141123162846 Conversion Gate01
29/89
28
prophetic ahaadeeth; because knowing these narrations is that which will help them ensure
an application of the Manhaj in a practical and correct (way of) application; and these
narrations just as is the case with the ahaadeeth- contains the authentic and the weak 34.
Q: Is it compulsory upon every Muslim to be a Salafi?
Ans:every Muslim will know at that time (what) this ascription (means), and what it
ascribes to from infallibility; so it is impossible for him after this knowledge and
clarification that I do not say: that- he rejects, (for) this is a clear issue, but I say:it is
impossible for him except that he becomes a Salafi; because we have understood that the
ascription to Salafiyyah, means: the ascription to infallibility 35.
Q: Where have we taken this infallibility from?
Ans:we have taken it from an hadeeth that some of the Khalaf use to infer other than
the truth, seeking to establish proofs according to the majority according to what the
majority of the Khalaf are upon-; whenever they approach his statement Alaihi Salam-:
((my Ummah will not gather upon misguidance))36, ((my Ummah will not gather upon
misguidance)), it is not correct to apply this hadeeth to the Khalaf today considering what is
between them from extreme differences, ((my Ummah will not gather upon misguidance)),
it is not possible to apply it to the situation of the Muslims today, and this issues are known
to anyone who studies this unfortunate situation.

36 Reported by adDawlaabi in ((alKinaa))(937) with this wording, and it was reported by atTirmidhee (2167) with
the wording: ((surely, Allaah will not gather my Ummah upon misguidance))
8/10/2019 Salafi Da'wah Its Aims and Its Stance Towards Its Opposers 141123162846 Conversion Gate01
30/89
29
In addition to that: are the authentic ahaadeeth which has come to clarify what has
happened as regards those before us from the Jews and the Christians, and what will
happen to the Muslims after (the passing away of) the Messenger Alaihi Salam- from
splitting; so he said Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam-: ((the Jews split into seventy-one sects,
and the Christians split into seventy-two sects, and my Ummah will split into seventy-three
sects, all of it in the fire except one)), they (the Sahaabah) said: who are they O Messenger of
Allaah? He said: ((it is: the Jamaaah))37.
This Jamaaah is: the Jamaaah of the Messenger Alaihi Salam-, it is that which it is
possible to affirm the application of the previous hadeeth: ((my Ummah will not gather
upon misguidance)) that (those) intended by this hadeeth are: the Sahaabah; those whom
the Messenger Alaihi Salam- judged that they: are the saved sect, and whoever treads
their path, and moves in their direction.
And these Salaf asSaalih, they are those whom our Lord Azza wa Jal- warned us in
the noble Quraan from opposing them, and from taking a path other than their path in His
Azza wa Jal- statement:
And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (Muhammad) after the right path has
been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers' way. We shall keep him inthe path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell - what an evil destination. Q4: 115
I have drawn our brothers attention in a lot of instances to our Lords Azza wa Jal-
appending in this verse his statement: and follows other than the believers' way to the
contradiction of the Messenger, what is the wisdom behind that? Despite that if the verse
37 Reported by Ibn Maajah (3993)
8/10/2019 Salafi Da'wah Its Aims and Its Stance Towards Its Opposers 141123162846 Conversion Gate01
31/89
30
had been without this statement, if it had been as follows: (And whoever contradicts and
opposes the Messenger (Muhammad) after the right path has been shown clearly to him, we
shall keep him in the path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell - what an evil destination ) it
would have been sufficient in warning and reproving whoever contradicts the Messenger
Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam-, and (in) judging upon it with its evil destination!
The verse was not like that, but only attached to that his statement Azza wa Jal- :
and follows other than the believers' way , is this in vain?! How far from such is the
speech of Allaah Azza wa Jal- that is: whoever treads the path of the companions whom
are infallible according to our previous illustration-, and they are the group whom the
Prophet Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam- bore witness to it being the saved sect, and (also)
those who tread their path, these are the ones whom it is not permissible for whoever wants
to be save from Allaahs punishment on the Day of Judgement that he deviates their path,
hence He Subhaanahu wa taaala- said:
And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (Muhammad) after the right path hasbeen shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers' way. We shall keep him in
the path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell - what an evil destination. Q4: 115
Thus; it is upon the Muslims today, in the end of time, to be aware of two matters:
Firstly: who are the Muslims that are mentioned in this verse?
Then what is the wisdom in that Allaah Azza wa Jal- intended with it the Sahaabah
whom are the Salaf asSaalih and those that tread their path..?
The clarification for this answer or this wisdom has preceded, and the summary of
that is: that the Sahaabah were the close ones to the era by reception of the revelation has it
8/10/2019 Salafi Da'wah Its Aims and Its Stance Towards Its Opposers 141123162846 Conversion Gate01
32/89
31
was revealed from the mouth of the Prophet Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam- firstly, then they
witnessed their Prophet Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam- who had lived in their midst
applying the rulings established by text in the Quraan; and which a lot of it has been
mentioned in his statements Alaihi Salam-, while the successors do not have this kind of
virtue from hearing the Quraan and ahaad eeth of the Messenger Alaihi Salam- directly
from him, also they do not have the virtue of witnessing the Messengers Alaihi Salam-
application of the texts from the Book and the Sunnah in a practical way of implementation.
And from the wisdom which is established by text from the Sunnah: is his Alaihi
Salam- statement: ((the information is not like the description))38, and it is from it that the
poet took his statement:
And the one that witnessed is not like the one that heard
And so; those who did not witness the Messenger Alaihi Salam- are not like his
Sahaabah who witnessed and heard from his speech directly, and they saw it as he
implemented it practically.
Today you will find a modern speech which has been used to excel by some of the
Islamic preachers and it is a very beautiful speech, but what is more beautiful: is to make it
a reality, they say in their lectures, sermons and counselling that it is obligatory that we
make Islaam to walk in reality, to walk upon the earth ..
Beautiful speech! But if we do not understand Islaam according to the understanding
of the Salaf asSaalih as we say- it is not possible for us to achieve this beautiful and poetic
speech; to make Islaam a reality walking upon the earth!
Those who are capable of that: are the Companions of the Messenger Alaihi Salam-,
for two reasons that have been mentioned previously; they heard the speech from him
directly, so they apprehended it better than our apprehension, then in (some) issues there is
38 Reported by Ahmad (1842)
8/10/2019 Salafi Da'wah Its Aims and Its Stance Towards Its Opposers 141123162846 Conversion Gate01
33/89
32
(that which is) in need of demonstration, so they saw the Messenger Alaihi Salam-
clarifying that for them practically.
And I will present to you a very clear example: there are verses in the noble Quraan
that the Muslim is not capable of understanding it except he is knowledgeable about the
Sunnah which explains the noble Quraan, as He Azza wa Jal- said:
And We have also sent down unto you (O Muhammad) the reminder (the Qur'aan), that
you may explain clearly to men what is sent down to them Q16: 44
For example: His saying- Subhaanahu wa taaala-:
Cut off (from the wrist joint) the (right) hand of the thief, male or female Q5: 38
Now here comes the Seebawayh39 of this era in Arabic language, so he explains to us
this noble verse:
The thief ,who is he?
Linguistically he is not able to specify the thief.
And the hand, what is it?
Seebawayh of the end of time (our era) is not capable; he is not capable to give an
answer about these two questions, who is the thief that is deserving of cutting of the hand?
And what is the hand which is required to be cut as regards this thief?
Linguistically: the thief even if he stole and egg is a thief, and the hand in this (case) if
it is cut from here or there or in any place, it is (still) a hand!
But the answer is: when we remember the previous Aayah:
39 [TN]: Expert in Arabic language who died in the year 796AD. (used by the Shaykh metaphorically) See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibawayh accessed 26 Feb. 2014

34/89
33
And We have also sent down unto you (O Muhammad) the reminder (the Qur'an), that
you may explain clearly to men what is sent down to them Q16: 44
The answer is in the clarification; so there is a clarification from the Prophet
Salallaahu alaihi wasSalaam- for the Quraan, this clarification was applied by him
Alaihi Salam- practically in particular to this Aayah as an example, and in particular to
other verses, and they are many, because whoever has read Ilm alUsool will read that there
is (the general and the specific), (absolute and particular) and (abrogator and abrogated),
summarized statements that encompass tens of texts, if we do not say hundreds of texts,
general texts made particular (or narrowed down) by the Sunnah40.

Chapter 2
Aims and Objectivesof the Salafi Dawah
Q: What are the aims and objectives of the Salafi Dawah?
Ans:as regards its aims and objectives: then there is no doubt that from its aims and
objectives is: to realize an Islaamic Society that by it, it will be possible to achieve legislation
by Islaam not by other than it, legislation by Islaam in other than an Islaamic society are
two opposites, they will not be combined.
Thus I will close the answer to this question with a word of ultimate wisdom to me-;
so we say to the Muslims in general: establish the Islaamic country in your hearts, it shall
be established for you on your land41.
Q: What is the ideal way in the view of the Salafis in dealing with the problems o
the Muslims of today?
Ans:surely this painful reality is not worse than the reality of the Arabs in their
Jaahiliyyah and when our Messenger Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam- was sent to them, so
there is no doubt that the reality of those ignorant Arabs was by far worse than what the
Muslims are upon today, and based on that we say:
41 Tape ((The salafi dawah))
[TN]: This statement was originally from the leader and founder of the Muslim Brotherhood Hasan alBana, eventhough his followers dont apply it. See http://islamancient.com/playa.php?catsmktba=25&&row=963&&pl=rm
http://islamancient.com/playa.php?catsmktba=25&&row=963&&pl=rmhttp://islamancient.com/playa.php?catsmktba=25&&row=963&&pl=rmhttp://islamancient.com/playa.php?catsmktba=25&&row=963&&pl=rmhttp://islamancient.com/playa.php?catsmktba=25&&row=963&&pl=rm8/10/2019 Salafi Da'wah Its Aims and Its Stance Towards Its Opposers 141123162846 Conversion Gate01

35
Surely the treatment is that treatment, and the medication is that medication, so with
similar to what the prophet used to treat that first Jaahiliyyah; then it is upon the Islaamic
callers today, all of them, to treat their painful reality.
And the meaning of this is very clear, remembering in it Allaahs Azza wa Jal-
statement:
Indeed in the Messenger of Allaah (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow forhim who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allaah and the Last Day and remembers Allaah
much. Q33: 21
So our messenger Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam- is our role model in solving the
problem of the Muslims in our time, and that is by we starting with what our prophet
Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam- started with, and it is: reforming what has been corrupted
from the creed of the Muslims, firstly, and from their worship, secondly, and from their
manners, thirdly .
And I do not mean by this arrangement (that) it is: the division between the first issue
as the most important, then the important , then what is other than it42.
Q: Do the Salafis wish to gather the Muslims upon a single a MadhHab?
Ans:we say there are some issues established with some researchers in Fiqh which is
in opposition to the Book and the Sunnah, so it is compulsory to purge it and wipe it off the
way of the Fuqahaa, similarly there are ahaadeeth which are agreed upon in its weakness,
42 Tape (atTawheed awal-alWaajibaat) meaning (monotheism is the first of obligations)
8/10/2019 Salafi Da'wah Its Aims and Its Stance Towards Its Opposers 141123162846 Conversion Gate01
37/89
36
rather in its fabrication; so it is compulsory to wipe it off from the interior of the books, and
from the minds of the students of knowledge and similarly the scholars.
It will remain that there are -no doubt- some issues of fiqh and some ahaadeeth
which are a position of differing, there remaining something of that, this type of question
will not come, becausewe believe -contrary to what is being rumoured about us by some of
the prejudiced and ignoramuse- that we want to unify all of the MadhaaHib, and we will
make the four MadhHabs one!
We I do not say: we are from the most aware of the people-, (rather) we are the most
aware of the people that this is impossible, it is impossible to gather the people on one
MadhHab, it is impossible to gather the people on a single thought,but it is not impossible
to bring the people close together; especially Ahl asSunnah wa alJamaaah.
Closeness is possible; and this is a reality and it is observed, those who study the fiqh
that is called today (comparative fiqh), even if this study in the universities is still crude;
because the Dr. specialized in Shareeah and in fiqh presents the issue and the statements
which have been made regarding it and all of their proofs, so the student is left confused, he
does not know what is correct from these statements; because he (the Dr.) has presented its
proofs!
Surely there could be a summarised verse and a detailed hadeeth, so he does not say
this hadeeth narrows the verse (to an issue), for indeed it could be that a MadhHab uses as
an evidence an authentic hadeeth and another (MadhHab) with a weak hadeeth, he does
not stop at differentiating the authentic from the weak, and like this, so he leaves what? The
students confused!
Thus I say: this comparative fiqh is being studied today in a crude way of studying,
those who study in a complete way of studying where as they say today also-:they place
8/10/2019 Salafi Da'wah Its Aims and Its Stance Towards Its Opposers 141123162846 Conversion Gate01
38/89
37
the dot upon the letters , they say the proof for this is this, and the proof for that is that, and
this, its proof, and the most convincing is this and that, for this and that reason ..
These (people) know that those who employ this fiqh methodology and it is that
which is called comparative fiqh- that it brings the Muslims close together, and there are a
lot of examples present today in front of us, who from the students of knowledge has not
heard of Imaam ashShawkaani43, who from the students of knowledge has not heard of
asSanaani44, who from the people of knowledge has not heard of Saalih alMuqbili45
43 [TN]: Great Scholar of Yemen, Mufassir, Muhadith, Faqeeh, Muhammad ibn Aliy ashShawkaani born
1760AD, he was able to trace his lineage back to our Father AadamAlaihi Salam-, he was from the leaders ofhis time as regards the Zaydi MadhHab until he left it and took the path of Ijtihaad; this drew a lot of oppositionfrom his people and he authored the book ((alQawl alMufeed fee Adilat alIjtihaad wa alTaqleed)). He has greatworks from which are ((Fath alQadeer)) in Tafseer and ((Nayl alAwtaar)) in fiqh which was explanation of IbnTaymiyyas grandfathers book ((Muntaqa alAkbaar)).

ibn Ismaeel asSanaani, born in 1687AD, known for humility and piety, busy with the worship and remembranceof Allaah, he travelled to the Haramain (Makkah and Madeenah) for Hajj four times seeking for knowledge andmeeting with its scholars. He made a huge effort in spreading knowledge in Sanaa Yemen, especially theknowledge of hadeeth, until the people became engrossed with it. He was the teacher of ashShawkaanis teacher. Also a promoter of Ijtihaad and censoring Taqleed, Muhammad Hayyaat asSindee reports that he said:Whoever affiliates to anyone in particular other then the Prophet Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam- , and sees thatthis person statement is correct, mandatory to be followed, without considering the statement of other scholars,then he is misguided and ignorant; rather he might be a disbeliever that needs to repent, if he doesnt he shouldbe killed, for when did he believe that it becomes mandatory for the people to follow a particular person from the
scholars ignoring the othersMay Allaahs mercy be on all of them-, then he has made this person (he is callingto be followed) in the same position as the Messenger of AllaahSalallaahu alaihi wasSalam- and that is Kufr.From his well known works is Subul asSalam an explanation of Buloogh alMaraam.

author of ((alilm ashShaamikh ithaar alHaq ala alAabaaI wa alMashaaiykh)), who has
not heard about these (people)? no one.
The root of these (people) is Zaydiyyah Zuyood-, they were not for the Hanafi
MadhHab, neither were they for the Shafiees or the Malikees nor the Hanbalees, meaning
by the illustration of these (people) the four MadhHabs-, those Zuyood are not from Ahl
asSunnah wa alJamaah, but they treaded this path which we call all Muslims to tread; so
that they will come close together and love each other and would not be far from one
another and hate each other- so at that time, it would be realised in them what was realised
in these Imaams that we have mentioned, since they joined us and became Sunnis, they
ended up refuting the Zuyood; because they oppose the Sunnah.
And so this Manhaj invites and does not divide, as for every man remaining upon his
MadhHab so this is that which divides and does not unite46.

Q: Does the Salafi Dawah demand from the laymen to derive Shari rulings from
the Book and the Sunnah directly without returning to the people of knowledge?
Ans:what we hear a lot really a lot- from some people who do not understand nor
comprehend the Salafi Dawah, not from personalities of callers to it directly nor from their
authored works, for they only understood the Salafi Dawah from their opponents and their
enemies, and these (people) are the ones that come with such a hardship in the
misunderstanding of this Dawah!
A lot of people transmit from us, some of them connect to us, and some of them fight
us and slander us in secret, and say: that we call all Muslims including the laymen amongst
them to understand the book and the Sunnah directly!!
And I say frankly: if there are actually people calling the ignorant and unlettered
those who do not read nor write- to extracting fiqh and aqeedah and all of the religion
from the Book and the Sunnah directly, and they cannot properly read a verse or narrate a
hadeeth; this (persons) speech is not correct, and the speech of those enemies is correct.
But is the Dawah like this? Do we call one who does not understand a thing from
knowledge to creep upon the Book and the Sunnah, and to make incumbent his ignorance,
his illiteracy, and unletteredness upon the Book and the Sunnah, then he says: I understand
it like this, and I am subject (only) to following the Book and the Sunnah?!

So (for) this (you) will not find a Muslim describe him with what you wish: Salafi
or Khalafi- at all speaking with this kind of speech, and we say always, and just yesterday in
the afternoon some people came to me from Homs (in Syria), amongst them was a youth
(that was) a little bit enlightened, it reached him from the well known Laa MadhHabiyyah
and similar to it what this writer points out; that we call all the people to follow the Book
and the Sunnah, meaning: that the ignorant understand the Book and the Sunnah with their
ignorance!
So I explained to him in detail, its summary is: text of the glorious Quraan has made the
people with regards to knowledge and ignorance in two divisions: scholars; and they are
those who understand the book and the Sunnah, and their opposite are those that are not
scholars: the ignorants; those that do not understand the Book and the Sunnah, and upon
each of this two divisions is what is made obligatory on him through text of the glorious
Quraan, He Subhaanahu wa taaala- said:
So ask the people of knowledge, if you know not. Q16: 43
So; He is addressing the Ummah in its entirety, its scholars and its ignorant, its educated
and its illiterate, He says: you are all in two parties: the scholars, and other than thescholars, upon those that are not scholars is to ask the scholars:
So ask the people of knowledge, if you know not. Q16: 43

understanding of knowledge and the scholar, what is knowledge? And who is the scholar?47

The Stance of the Salafi Dawah towards Islaamic groups
Q: Do the Salafis consider it permissible to have multiple groups in the Musl
society?
Ans:it is not permissible to have in the Muslim society multiple groups, each group
having a specific Manhaj, and a specific leader, this leadership decrees its commands upon
its followers, surely this will lead to greater division and disagreement between the
Muslims, then it will lead to making division a system to be followed amongst the Muslims
And this is obviously in opposition to the statement of the Lord of the worlds:
and be not of Al-Mushrikoon (the disbelievers in the Oneness of Allaah, polytheists,
idolaters, etc.) Of those who split up their religion (i.e. who left the true IslaamicMonotheism), and became sects, [i.e. they invented new things in the religion (Bid'ah), and
followed their vain desires], each sect rejoicing in that which is with it Q30: 31 & 32

Indeed it came in a hadeeth of Huzayfah ibn Yamaan48 Radhiyallaahu anhu- in
((Saheeh alBukhaary))(3602) and ((Muslim))(1847), he said: ((the people used to ask the
Messenger of Allaah about good, and I used to ask him about evil in fear that it will meet
me)), so he asked him about a lot issues which are related to what this great companion
cared about, so he asked him for example- about this good which they enjoyed with the
Prophet Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam- will there be evil after it? He answered that there
will be something from that, and there will be after -also- good.
He asked him also- will there be after this evil good? So he said: (( yes, and in it is
smoke)).
And he followed up (with) the questions until he Alaihi Salam- said that there will
be parties, sects and groups, so it is upon you to bite the tree root, and do not be with a sect
from these sects; except that upon them was an Imaam who is also the Imaam of all the
Muslims, so if they had an Imaam then it becomes obligatory to be with him, he said:and if
not then avoid all those groups, and even if you bite on to one tree.
48 [TN]: The Prophets companion who migrated with his Father to meet the prophet, he lived in Koofa and died
in alMadaain in 36AH after the assassination of Uthmaan Radiyallaahu anhu-. He was the keeper of thesecrets, since the Prophet told him about the hypocrites by their names, he was also sent by the prophet to spy onthe enemies on the night of the confederates. A number of companions narrated from him. See: MarifatiasSahaabah li-abi- Naim

This is the meaning of the hadeeth present in ((Saheeh alBukhaari) and ((Muslim)),
and that means: that it is not permissible for a Muslim to be a partisan to a group over the
other, however despite that I say:it is behoving of the Islamic groups and surely they are
present in the field unfortunately- that they all cooperate with one another, but with a
condition: that their cooperation is upon a correct foundation from the Book and the
Sunnah and the Manhaj of the Salaf asSaalih.
So whoever prevents cooperation with another group; because it does not cooperate
upon this correct Manhaj, the Book and the Sunnah, and what our Salaf asSaalih were
upon; so then it is not behoving to cooperate; because of opposingwhat Allaahs messenger
Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam- and his companions after (him) were upon, so corporation is
compulsory, and division is forbidden, so whoever refuses (to corporate) except division ..
so (we say) Baraaqish went crazy over itself (meaning brings harm to himself and
others) 49.
Q: Do the Salafis prevent the existence of groups with numerous goals in th
Muslim society?

where the villagers were hiding, so they raided the village, and it was due to Baraaqishs excessiveness. Seehttp://www.ajurry.com/vb/showthread.php?t=34454

Ans:for the issue which I have mentioned in some of my previous answers; that the
Salafi Dawah now and the virtue is for Allaah Azza wa Jal- has covered the Islaamic
arena approximately, and has manifested to most of those that oppose it even if in
summary- that this Dawah is the Dawah of truth; and because of that they ascribe to it
even if they are extremely far from it in their actions54.
Q: What is the view of the Salafis in dividing the religion intopulp and peel?
Ans:Indeed the Salafi Dawah is distinct it is not just aDawah, it is but a practical
(Dawah) that it strives to understand Islaam with correct understanding from all angles,
not from some angles which some groups care about without (considering) other angles,
and they call the first issues (priorities), and they have reached in this issue of dividing
Islaam or knowledge of Islaam to an extent that they make it two branches:pulp and peel.
And they care for -in their claim and the reality is that they do not care for even in
this division they call (pulp)- they care for it without caring for the other division.
And (let) me draw (your) attention to a fact of knowledge; if the Muslim was uponclarity it will be clear that there is no room at all for the scholar and researcher in the Book
and the Sunnah to divide Islaam into (pulp and peel), and if this was possible it will not be
possible except for one with all the knowledge about Islaam, and this is almost an
impossible affair; because Allaah Azza wa Jal- says:
54 ((Silsilatu-l-huda wa-n-Nur)) Tape no. (188)

Therefore what is compulsory for the Muslim preachers is to relay to the people
Islaam as a whole in the limits of his knowledge, and not to claim the previously mentioned
division (core and peel), because of Islaam is good and a blessing.
And that this division if it was granted we would have said: it is a must to preserve the
core and the peel, as it is the issue in what we see in our life style; where we eat a lot from
fruits and nuts, and it must be preserved with its peel to make it good for us, this is just
making examples and drawing similarities, but in reality we do not agree to this
nomenclature that we say: verily Islam is (divided into) core and peel!
However we say: there are (issues) we must know firstly; then we must act by it
secondly, and there are other things that must be known to a group of people who are the
people of knowledge, and this is what is called by the scholars (Fard alKifaai), then from the
angle of action also- it is but compulsory to establish by a group without it being
compulsory on every individual from the Muslims
So; it is compulsory that Islaam be understood, and that it be known from all its angles
without division; as we have said before in our illustration of what is obligatory and
superogatory, and in their illustration of what is core and peel, then after that it is
compulsory that the people should arise with what they are capable of from the first branch
which is from individual obligations.

Differing and splitting amongst the Salafis and the issue of the MadhaaHib and
Fiqh alWaaqi
Q: There is an apparent split which has appeared between the Salafis - followers
the Manhaj of the Salaf asSaalih, so what is your advice for us?
Ans:that you all do not waste your time in criticizing one another, and you say: this
one said this, and that one said that; because it is:
Firstly: this is not from knowledge at all.
And secondly : this method arouses anger, and establishes envy and hatred in the
heart, upon you is nothing but knowledge, for it is knowledge that will reveal to you if this
speech in the praise of Zayd (someone) from the people that has a lot of mistakes? And for
example- is it correct for us to call him: a person of Bidah? And consequently is he a
Mubtadi.
What do we want with all these going deep?! I advice that you do not go deep like
this!

Such things are not permissible to be adopted by a group that ascribes in truth to the
Book of Allaah and the hadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam-
upon the understanding of the Salaf asSaalih, so we all knowthat our Salaf asSaalih and at
their head are the companions of the Prophet Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam- they surely
differed in some issues and this kind of differing does not become, firstly, a reason for the
existence of something from division amongst them, in contrast to the differing of the
Khalaf; for surely they became because of their differing different MadhaaHib, and many
groups, up to the extent that a lot do not consider the permissibility of the Salaah (prayer)
behind one who opposes their MadhHab, rather that became a part of their legislation,
documented in their books, so they say in its texts or in the texts of this legislation: Salaah is
not permissible behind an opposer to the MadhHab; this text is present in the Hanafi
MadhHab, and in the ShaafieeMadhHab, and in (the book) Sharh Nuraa or alHawaashi as
they say- we see the weirdest of things from details that were not known, firstly to the first
Salaf, and secondly the Salafis do not recognise such! Because Allaah Azza wa Jal- has
availed them from falling into such by their enlightment which I have pointed out earlier;
that the companions differed in some issues, and even at that they prayed behind one
Imaam.
While the Khalaf; we find their effects in their Mihraabs up till today, so you find in a
big mosque four Mahaarib: the first Mihraab for the Hanaabilah, the second for the
Shaafieeyah, and the third -and this is in the middle- for the Hanafiyyah, and the last to the
east is the Mihraab of the Malikiyyah; because they are the smallest group in those
countries.

But the other hadeeth reached the Sahaabah, and it is: his statement Alaihi
Salam-: ((when the two privates meet, ghusl becomes obligatory with ejaculation or
without)), and (even) with that you see these (ones) praying behind that (one) that says:
ghusl is not (obligatory) on him, this is similar to a lot of differing present within the
MadhaaHib up till today, but we see a big difference between the differing of the Salaf and
the differing of the Khalaf! The differing of the Salaf was Ijtihaad and intellectual, but it was
not physical; it did not divide them, and because of that they used to pray behind one
Imaam.
Thus it came in sound books of aqeedah that from the aqaaid of the Salaf that was
inherited by the Khalaf: is (the Salaah (prayer) behind every pious one and sinner), just as
the Salaah is obligatory upon every pious (one) and sinner.
So now we say: some of the Sahaabah differed with the Khalif in his view and in his
Ijtihaad, and despite that was he removed from the Jamaaah of the Muslims?
Allah the lord of the worlds forbid!
Its example: for surely Umar R adhiyallaahu anhu- made Ijtihaad in some issues and
was correct in most of it, and wrong in a little of it, from this little: is that he prohibited theMuslims from combining between Umrah and Hajj, and commanded them to single out
Hajj; despite that the Prophet Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam- affirmed joining and
combining between Hajj and Umrah61.

Q: Do the Salafis disapprove of the MadhaaHib of the four Imaams?
Ans:this is a lie! For we value the four Imaams and likewise other than them- as
they should be valued, and we do not avail ourselves of benefitting from their knowledge,
and relying on their fiqh, without being partisan to anyone of them over the others.
And this is from what I have clarified clearly over thirty years ago in the introduction
to my book: ((Description of the prophets prayer Salallaahu alaihi wasSalam- from the
Takbeer to the Tasleem as if you can see it)), so it is to it I direct anyone who wants to
confirm the falsehood of this allegation62.
Q: What is the stance of the Salafis towards the fiqhalWaaqi?
Ans:fiqh alWaaqi by its correct meaning in the Shareeah is compulsory without
doubt, however it is a Kifaaiy obligation; if some scholars rise up to it, then (its
responsibility) is dropped from the rest of the scholars; talk less of the students of
knowledge, talk less of the common Muslims.
62 ((Silsilatu-l-hadeeth adh-Dhaeefah)) (3/6)

60/89
59
Thus it is behoving to be balanced in calling the Muslims to the knowledge of (fiqh
alWaaqi), and not drowning them in political matters, and the analysis of western thinkers,
for what is but compulsory always-: is crooning about the purification of Islaam from
what has been attached to it from filth, then training of the Muslims groups and
individuals- upon this puritanised Islaam, and binding them to the Manhaj of the authentic
Dawah: the Book and the Sunnah with the understanding of the Salaf of the Ummah63.
And similarly it is not permissible and the situation is this- that any of the students of
knowledge should negate the necessity of understanding current matters; because it is not
possible to realise the long cherished goal by consensus of the Muslims; which is: freedom
from the Kufaar occupation of Muslim countries or at least some of it-; except that we
know what they plot, or what they conspire together upon, so that we can be wary of it and
we can warn away from it, until their conquering and enslavement of the Muslim world
does not continue.
And a large portion of this will not be except by training the Muslim youth with a
training based on aqeedah, knowledge, Manhaj established upon the roots of purifying
Islaam from the filth that has been attached to it, and built upon the principle of training
upon this refined Islaam as he revealed it upon the heart of the Messenger Salallaahu
alaihi wasSalam- 64.
And it is a must lastly- for the Muslims to know a very important issue in this regard
so I say :
63 ((Fiqh alWaaqi))(Pp. 25)

60
It is behoving that pleasure in fiqh alWaaqi by its description in the Shareeah or
being busy with it should not drive us to entering the doors of modern day politics with its
tyrants! Deceivers with political speeches, changing their methods repeatedly (indecision),
lost by their ways.
What is but compulsory is to abide by the politics of the Shareeah, which is: (tending
to the affairs of the Ummah), and this tending should not be except in light of the Book and
the Sunnah upon the Manhaj of the Salaf asSaalih, and by the hand of the people of
authority from the sincere scholars and just rulers, for surely Allaah curbs with the Sultan
what he has not curbed with the Quraan.
As for that western politics that open its doors and it glorifies its people; then there is
no religion for it, and all those who line up behind it or drown in its ocean: he has been
afflicted by its wretchedness and has been covered by its gloom; because he got busy with
the secondary (matter) before the foundation!
And may Allaahs mercy be on the one who says: whoever rushes something before
its time: is punished by its deprivation65.

atTaSfiyah wa atTarbiyah
Q: Ithas become well known of you your call of atTaSfiyah wa atTarbiyah for the
return of the guided Islaamic caliphate, sowhat is the meaning of atTaSfiyah wa
atTarbiyah?
Ans:from what cannot be doubted -unfortunately- is that the Muslims today in all
places are humiliated except what Allaah wills-,and which humiliation is greater than theoccupation of the most lowly of mankind of the holy lands which is Palestine, and the
Muslims are looking at them, and they are hearing the uprisings everyday where a lot of
Muslims are killed, while the Muslims around them look on and observe (like an
entertainment)!!
There is no doubt that this is from the greatest humiliation which met the Muslims;
so what is the solution?
8/10/2019 Salafi Da'wah Its Aims and Its Stance Towards Its Opposers 141123162846 Conversion Gate01
63/89
62
Surely the Islaamic groups in the present time have differed in the view as to
describing the solution to return the Muslims to their honour and past glory, and (so) they
will be able to remove the oppressive enemy, and that which is our opinion to which we are
not in doubt is:what we croon about in this kind of situation from what we call atTaSfiyah
wa atTarbiyah, it is a must (to have) this two foundational pillars to realise the desired
correction to return the Muslims to their old glory 66.
So the key to returning the glory of Islaam is: to apply beneficial knowledge, and
establish righteous actions and it is a noble matter it is not possible for the Muslims to reach
it except by using the method of atTaSfiyah wa atTarbiyah, and they are two great and
important obligations67.
And I intended by the first of the two (a number) of issues:
The first: purifying the Islaamic aqeedah from that which is foreign to it; like shirk,
and denying and interpreting the godly attributes, which are established by authentic
ahaadeeth to show its relationship to aqeedah etc!
The second: purifying Islaamic fiqh from mistaken Ijtihaadaat that oppose the Book
and the Sunnah, and I presented some examples for that.
The third: purifying the books of Tafseer and fiqh and R aqaaiq and other than it
from the weak and fabricated ahaadeeth, and the detestable Israailiyyaat,and this is what I
am doing
