🎙️ Text of the advice:
وَأُوصِيكُمْ بِالأُخُوَّةِ فِي اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَالتَّحَابِّ فِيهِ وَالتَّعَاوُنِ عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى وَالْقَضَاءِ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَظَاهِرِ الْقَبِيحَةِ الَّتِي سَرَّبَهَا إِلَى صُفُوفِ أَهْلِ السُّنَّةِ وَمَزَّقَهُمْ بِهَا، بَارَكَ اللهُ فِيكُمْ، يُحَارِبُونَ هَذِهِ الْمَظَاهِرَ.
I advise you to maintain brotherhood for the sake of Allah, to love each other for His sake, and to cooperate in righteousness and piety. Work together to eliminate these ugly manifestations that have infiltrated the ranks of Ahl al-Sunnah and have torn them apart. May Allah bless you. Fight against these phenomena.
أَهْلُ السُّنَّةِ مُسْتَهْدَفُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ الْفِئَاتِ الضَّالَّةِ وَمِنْ كُلِّ الْأَحْزَابِ السَّيِّئَةِ لِيُمَزِّقُوهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ وَجَدُوا أَنَّهُ لَا يُبَيِّنُ أَخْطَاءَهُمْ وَيُحَذِّرُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا أَهْلُ السُّنَّةِ.
Ahl al-Sunnah are targeted by all deviant groups and malicious factions aiming to divide them. They have found that only Ahl al-Sunnah clarify their mistakes and warn against them.
وَجَدُوهُمْ فِي مَشَارِقِ الْأَرْضِ وَمَغَارِبِهَا عَلَى مَنْهَجٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَسَعَوْا فِي تَمْزِيقِهِمْ وَتَفْرِيقِهِمْ وَتَصْدِيعِهِمْ،
They have seen Ahl al-Sunnah united on one methodology across the world, so they have strived to divide and fragment them.
حَتَّى إِنَّكَ تَجِدُ هَذِهِ الظَّاهِرَةَ عِنْدَ الْعَرَبِ وَالْعَجَمِ بِالسَّبَبِ غَزْوِ وَمَكْرِ وَخُطَطِ وَمَكَايِدِ أَعْدَاءِ هَذَا الْمَنْهَجِ.
You can even see this phenomenon among Arabs and non-Arabs due to the tricks, deceit, and plots of the enemies of this methodology.
فَتَنَبَّهُوا وَاعْتَبِرُوا بِمَا حَصَلَ، وَاسْتَيْقِظُوا وَعُودُوا إِلَى الجادة،
Be aware and learn from what has happened. Wake up and return to the path.
وَرَبُّوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ، وَإِذَا أَصْبَحْتُمْ أَهْلَ العِلْمِ، رَبُّوا شَبَابَكُمْ عَلَى هَذِهِ الأمور وَرُوحِ الْمَوَدَّةِ وَالأُخُوَّةِ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ السَّابِقِينَ وَالْمُعَاصِرِينَ.
Cultivate yourselves, and when you become scholars, cultivate the youth with these principles and the spirit of love and brotherhood towards the earlier and contemporary Muslims.
وَاللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالإِيمَانِ، وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا، رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ.
"Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and do not place in our hearts any resentment towards those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful."
الآنَ السَّلَفِيّ يحقد بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بفعل مَن؟ بفعل أَعْدَاءِ هَذَا الْمَنْهَجِ."
Now, unfortunately, you find Salafis spiteful and grudge-holding against each other. Provoked by who? By the enemies of this methodology.”
