💎 {{Sincerity & Tawakkul is the Foundation of Worship}} 🖊️Shaykh al Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728 AH رحمه الله) said: «فَكُلُّ عَمَلٍ يَعْمَلُهُ الْعَبْدُ وَلَا يَكُونُ طَاعَةً لِلَّهِ وَعِبَادَةً وَعَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَهُوَ بَاطِلٌ "Every action performed by a servant that is not an act of obedience to Allah, an act of worship, and a righteous deed is futile. فَإِنَّ الدُّنْيَا مَلْعُونَةٌ مَلْعُونٌ مَا فِيهَا إلَّا مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ Indeed, the world is cursed and everything in it is cursed except that which is for Allah. وَإِنْ نَالَ بِذَلِكَ الْعَمَلِ رِئَاسَةً وَمَالًا فَغَايَةُ الْمُتَرَئِّسِ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَفِرْعَوْنَ وَغَايَةُ الْمُتَمَوِّلِ أَنْ يَكُونَ كقارون. Even if one attains leadership and wealth through that action, the ultimate end of the one seeking leadership is to be like Pharaoh, and the ultimate end of the one seeking wealth is to be like Qarun. وَقَدْ ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ فِي سُورَةِ الْقَصَصِ مِنْ قِصَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَارُونَ مَا فِيهِ عِبْرَةٌ لِأُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ. Allah has mentioned in Surah Al-Qasas the stories of Pharaoh and Qarun, which contain lessons for those of understanding. وَكُلُّ عَمَلٍ لَا يُعِينُ اللَّهُ الْعَبْدَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَكُونُ وَلَا يَنْفَعُ Every action that Allah does not assist His servant in performing neither comes to pass and nor does it benefit. فَمَا لَا يَكُونُ بِهِ لَا يَكُونُ وَمَا لَا يَكُونُ لَهُ ‌لَا ‌يَنْفَعُ ‌وَلَا ‌يَدُومُ» What is not done for Him does not exist, and what is not for Him neither benefits nor endures." ["Majmoo' Al-Fatawa" (8/76)]

💎 Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (d. 751 AH رحمه الله) said: ‏[ أربعةٌ تَهْدِمُ البَدَنَ: الهَمُّ، والحُزْنُ، والجُوعُ، والسَّهَرُ. "Four things destroy the body: worry, sorrow, hunger, and sleeplessness. وأربعةٌ تُفْرِحُ: النَّظَرُ إلى الخُضْرَةِ، وإلى الماءِ الجاري، والمحبوبُ، والثِّمَارُ ] And four things bring joy: looking at greenery and at running water, a beloved person, and fruits." 📚 Zad al-Ma'ad (4/368)

💎 Sound Advice: [Distinguishing between Adversaries, Associates, Intimate Friends & Trustworthy Confidants] Ahmad ibn Ata' al-Rudhbarī (d. 369 AH رحمه الله) said: مُجَالَسَةُ الأَضْدَادِ ذَوَبَانُ الرُّوحِ، وَمُجَالَسَةُ الأَشْكَالِ تَلْقِيحُ العُقُولِ، “Sitting with adversaries drains the soul, while being with like-minded people stimulates the mind. وَلَيْسَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَصْلُحُ لِلْمُجَالَسَةِ يَصْلُحُ لِلْمُؤَانَسَةِ، وَلَا كُلُّ مَنْ يَصْلُحُ لِلْمُؤَانَسَةِ يُؤْمَنُ عَلَى الأَسْرَارِ، Not everyone fit to sit with is fit for close friendship, and not everyone fit for close friendship can be trusted with secrets. وَلَا يُؤْمَنُ عَلَى الأَسْرَارِ إِلَّا الأُمَنَاءُ فَقَطْ. Only trustworthy people can be trusted with secrets.” [Al Bidāyah wal-Nihāyah]

💎[Golden Speech from Ibn Taymiyyah] 🖊️ Imam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728 AH) said: وكلُّ من كانَ بالباطلِ أعلَمَ كانَ للحقِّ أشدَّ تعظيمًا وبقدرهِ أعرَفَ. "The more one has of knowledge about falsehood, the greater their reverence for the truth is and the more knowledgeable they are of its value." 📚 [Al-Hamawiyyah: 532] Shaykh Dr. Abdul Ilah bin Abdul Aziz Al-Rifa'i, (may Allah grant him success) comments: بهذا تَعرِفُ سببًا من أسبابِ شِدَّةِ تَمَسُّكِ العلماءِ الذَّابِّينَ عن السُّنَّةِ بها؛ فقد عَرَفُوا الباطلَ ومآلاتِه الخطيرةَ فرجعَ عليهم بالشدة. With this, you understand one of the reasons for the strong adherence of the scholars who defend the Sunnah to it; they have known falsehood and its dangerous consequences, which has brought them to firmness.

🚨[Condemning the Rāfidhah while Promoting the So-Called Muslim Botherhood?] 🎙 Our Sheikh Mustafa Mabram, may Allah preserve and protect him, said: 💥 وَلأَعْجَبُ مِن مَشاهِيرِ الآنِ وَدَكاتِرَةٍ، وَعِنْدَهُمْ دُرُوسٌ فِي الحَدِيثِ، وَشُرُوحٌ لِلْبُخَارِيِّ، وَيَدَّعُونَ، يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الكِتَابِ وَالسُّنَّةِ، وَلَهُمْ مِنَ الكَلَامِ اللَّاذِعِ القَاذِعِ الَّذِي لَا أَحَرَّ مِنْهُ فِي الرَّافِضَةِ، ثُمَّ يُوالُونَ جَمَاعَةَ الإِخْوَانِ المُسْلِمِينَ أَوْ جَمَاعَةَ التَّبْلِيغِ. 💥 I am astonished to see some current celebrities and PhD holders, who have lessons in Hadith and explanations of Al-Bukhari, and claim that they call to the Book and the Sunnah, and they have the harshest and most piercing words against the Rafidah (Shia), yet they ally with the Muslim Brotherhood or the Tablighi Jamaat. مَا فَعَلْتَ شَيْئًا، وَاللهِ مَا فَعَلْتَ شَيْئًا، دِيَانَةً نَقُولُهَا، تُبْغِضُ الرَّافِضَةَ وَتُوَالِي الإِخْوَانَ المُسْلِمِينَ؟ ▪️ You have done nothing, by Allah, you have done nothing. We say this out of religious duty. You despise the Rafidah but ally with the Muslim Brotherhood? وَهَلْ دَخَلَتِ الرَّافِضَةُ إِلَّا مِن بَابِ الإِخْوَانِ المُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى الأُمَّةِ؟ Did the Rafidah enter the Ummah except through the door of the Muslim Brotherhood? وَهَلْ تَمَكَّنَتْ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِن بِلَادِ المُسْلِمِينَ بَعْدَ نُشُوءِ هَذِهِ الجَمَاعَةِ الخَبِيثَةِ إِلَّا بِسَبَبِهِمْ وَبِسَبَبِ التَّمْيِيعِ الَّذِي حَصَلَ مَعَهُمْ؟ And have they established themselves in many Muslim countries after the emergence of this wicked group except because of them and their leniency with them? مَاذَا صَنَعْتَ؟ لَمْ تَصْنَعْ شَيْئًا، يَا فَضِيلَةَ الدُّكْتُورِ.

💵[The Awesome Reward of Loaning Money & Giving Extra Time for Repayment] 1️⃣From Sulayman ibn Buraidah, from his father, (Buraydah b. Husayb رضي الله عنه) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "مَنْ أَنْظَرَ مُعْسِرًا فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِثْلَهُ صَدَقَةٌ، "Whoever gives respite to an insolvent person, he will have charity equal to it for each day.” Then I heard him say: مَنْ أَنْظَرَ مُعْسِرًا فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِثْلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ، “Whoever gives respite to an insolvent person, he will have charity equal to it for each day.” I said: I heard you, O Messenger of Allah, say: “Whoever gives respite to an insolvent person, he will have charity equal to it for each day Then I heard you say: Whoever gives respite to an insolvent person, he will have charity double for each day” He (ﷺ) said: لَهُ بِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ صَدَقَةٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَحِلَّ الدَّيْنُ فَإِذَا حَلَّ الدَّيْنُ فَأَنْظَرَهُ فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِثْلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ" “He will have charity for each day before the debt becomes due, and when the debt becomes due and he gives respite, he will have double charity for each day." [Reported by Ahmad and Ibn Mājah; graded Sahih by Al Albānī in As-Silsilah As-Saheehah" (86)] 2️⃣And from Abu Qatadah (رضي الله عنه): He sought a debtor who hid from him, then he found him and he said, "I am insolvent." He said, "By Allah?" He said, "By Allah." He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يُنْجِيَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ كَرْبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلْيُنَفِّسْ عَنْ مُعْسِرٍ أَوْ يَضَعْ عَنْهُ" “Whoever is pleased that Allah saves him from the distress of the Day of Resurrection, let him give respite to an insolvent person or reduce his debt." [Saheeh At-Targhib Wat-Tarheeb (903)]

‼️Important Note: (1.) I merged these two advices into one article because they are so similar. (2.) The reason for posting these sorts of advices is to highlight the dire need of inculcating character on an individual level and how noble Islamic character shields against all sorts of problems caused by Shaytan in our homes and communities. It is not in response, directly or indirectly, to any specific incident or situation in any community or country. I have no involvement whatsoever in anything of the sort. I am merely trying to spread the speech of the noble scholars who are our leaders and role models in all affairs.

' Thus, a seeker of knowledge must strive for justice, not deviating from the truth in word, news, testimony, or judgment. Do not hasten in judgments or be extreme with a party until you hear and understand. وَأَنَا أُخَاطِبُ الْعُقَلَاءَ مِنْ طُلَّابِ الْعِلْمِ، أَمَّا الصِّغَارُ وَالْعَوَامُّ فَأَقُولُ لَهُمْ لَا تَتَدَخَّلُوا فِي هَذِهِ الْأُمُورِ، لَا تَزِيدُوا الْفِتَنَ حَطَبًا وَاشْتِعَالًا. I address the sensible among the students of knowledge; as for the young and the general public, I tell them not to interfere in these matters, do not add fuel to the fire of tribulations. وَالنَّبِيُّ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَّمَنَا كَيْفَ نَفْعَلُ وَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ. مَا هَلَكَتِ الْأُمَمُ السَّابِقَةُ إِلَّا بِسَبَبِ هَذَا. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, taught us what to do and how to act. Previous nations perished only because of this. وَكَثِيرٌ لِلْأَسَفِ مِمَّنْ يَسْتَعْجِلُ فِي هَذِهِ الْفِتَنِ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ سَيَضْرِبُ سَهْمًا لِنَفْسِهِ فَيَكُونُ مِنَ الشُّرَفَاءِ أَوِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ الَّذِينَ سَيَكُونُونَ مَرْجِعِيَّةً لِإِخْوَانِهِ أَوْ لِبَلَدِهِ أَوْ لِأَصْحَابِهِ. Unfortunately, many who hasten in these tribulations think that they will earn a position of honor or leadership, becoming a reference point for their brothers, their land, or their associates. يَا مِسْكِينُ! تَعَوَّذْ بِاللهِ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ، وَخُذْ مُصْحَفًا وَخُذْ أَحَادِيثَ رَسُولِ اللهِ وَاحْفَظْهَا وَرَاجِعْهَا. خِيرًا لَكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَاتْرُكْ هَذِهِ الْأُمُورَ الْكَبِيرَةَ لِأَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ، هُمْ الَّذِينَ يُحْسِنُونَ كَيْفَ يَتَصَرَّفُونَ. O poor one! Seek refuge in Allah from tribulations, take the Mushaf and some Hadith of the Messenger of Allah, memorize them and review them. That would be better for you; leave these major matters to the people of knowledge, they are the ones who know how to handle them. أَلَا تَرَى أَنَّ الْعَالِمَ يَسْكُتُ فِي الْفِتَنِ فِي أَوَّلِهَا لِأَنَّهُ يَعْرِفُ أَنَّهُ إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ سَتَكُونُ كَلِمَتُهُ قَدْ وَصَلَتْ إِلَى الشَّرْقِ وَالْغَرْبِ، وَيَعْمَلُ بِهَا مَنْ يَعْمَلُ، فَيَتَأَنَّى وَيَتَأَنَّى حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ الْوَقْتُ الَّذِي يُبَيِّنُ فِيهِ هَذِهِ الْفِتْنَةَ مَعَ أَنَّهُ أَدْرَكَهَا مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا. Do you not see that the scholar remains silent during the initial stages of tribulations because he knows that if he speaks, his words will reach the east and the west, and people will act upon them, so he waits and waits until the right time comes to explain the tribulation, even though he understood it from the beginning. لَكِنْ لَيْسَ كُلُّ مَا يُعْلَمُ يُقَالُ، لَيْسَ كُلُّ مَا يُعْلَمُ يُقَالُ. اجْعَلُوا هَذِهِ الْقَاعِدَةَ فِي آذَانِكُمْ: لَيْسَ كُلُّ مَا يُعْلَمُ يُقَالُ. وَالْأُمُورُ إِنَّمَا تَسْتَقِيمُ بِالتَّأَنِّي وَبِالصَّبْرِ وَبِالْعَدْلِ. But not everything known is said, not everything known is said. Keep this rule in your minds: not everything known is said. Matters only settle with patience, deliberation, and justice. أَقِمِ الْعَدْلَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ وَفِي طُلَّابِكَ، وَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْعَدْلِ، فَسَتَجِدُ ثَمَرَاتِ ذَلِكَ، وَهِيَ ثَمَرَاتٌ حَسَنَةٌ. Establish justice in your household and among your students, judge between them with justice, and you will see the good fruits of that. وَاقْرَأُوا قَوْلَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: "يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَىٰ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْأَقْرَبِينَ، إِنْ يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًا فَاللَّهُ أَوْلَىٰ بِهِمَا، فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الْهَوَى أَنْ تَعْدِلُوا". Read the words of Allah, the Exalted: 'O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives, whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just.' هُوَ تَرْكُ الْعَدْلِ إِنَّمَا يَكُونُ بِسَبَبِ الْهَوَى، فَيَعْلَمُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ أَنَّ الْهَوَى سَيْطَرَ عَلَيْهِ، فَيَخْبِطُ خَبْطَ عَشْوَاءَ فِي أَحْكَامِهِ وَيَتَدَخَّلُ فِيمَا لَا يَعْنِيهِ.

💎[The Wise Silence, Patience, & Deliberation of the Scholars in Extinguishing the Flames of Strife] Shaykh ‘Arafāt bin Hasan al Muhammadī (حفظه الله ورعاه) recently posted a beautiful advice needed by Salafis worldwide to remedy communal problems: "فَانْظُرُوا إِلَى الْفِتَنِ الَّتِي مَرَّتْ بِهَا السَّلَفِيَّةُ فِي الْعَالَمِ كُلِّهِ، مَا أَكْثَرَ هَذِهِ الْفِتَنَ! So look at the tribulations that Salafiyyah has gone through around the world. How many are these tribulations! وَمَا نَنْتَهِي مِنْ فِتْنَةٍ إِلَّا وَيَأْتِي الْأَعْدَاءُ وَيَزْرَعُونَ فِتْنَةً أُخْرَى. As soon as we end one tribulation, the enemies come and plant another one. مَا تَهْدَأُ الْأُمُورُ إِلَّا وَيَأْتِي مَنْ يُقِيمُ لِأَهْلِ السُّنَّةِ شَخْصًا مِنْ بَيْنِ أَظْهُرِهِمْ حَتَّى يُصَارِعَهُمْ فَيَشْغَلَهُمْ. As soon as matters calm down, someone comes and raises a person from among the people of Sunnah to fight them and distract them. فَنَكُونُ عُقَلَاءَ، لَا نَزِيدُ الْفِتَنَ حَطَبًا وَاشْتِعَالًا. عِنْدَ الْفِتَنِ يَنْبَغِي الْهُدُوءُ، السُّكُوتُ، عَدَمُ الْخَوْضِ، الرُّجُوعُ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ، تَطْبِيقُ الْعَدْلِ؛ So let us be wise and not add fuel to the fire of tribulations. During tribulations, it is necessary to be calm, silent, avoid getting involved, refer to the people of knowledge, and apply justice. لِأَنَّهُ يَحْصُلُ مِنَّا الظُّلْمُ، يَحْصُلُ مِنَّا التَّجَاوُزُ. وَلَا يَخْفَى عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ أَنَّ مِنْ أَنْبَلِ الْأَخْلَاقِ الَّتِي نَادَتْ بِهَا الرُّسُلُ الْعَدْلُ. Because we end up committing injustices and exceeding limits. It is not hidden from any Muslim that among the noblest morals advocated by the messengers is justice. كُنْ عَادِلًا مَعَ خَصْمِكَ، فَضْلًا أَنْ تَكُونَ عَادِلًا مَعَ نَفْسِكَ، مَعَ أَهْلِكَ، مَعَ جِيرَانِكَ. قُلْ كَلِمَةَ الْحَقِّ، وَأَعْطِ كُلَّ ذِي حَقٍّ حَقَّهُ. وَالنَّبِيُّ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ ضَرَبَ أَرْوَعَ الْأَمْثِلَةِ فِي الْعَدْلِ، عَدْلُهُ لَا نَظِيرَ لَهُ. Be just with your adversary, let alone be just with yourself, your family, and your neighbors. Speak the word of truth and give everyone their due rights. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, set the finest examples in justice, his justice has no equal. وَمَا تَحْصُلُ الْفِتَنُ وَلَا التَّجَاوُزَاتُ إِلَّا بِسَبَبِ عَدَمِ الْعَدْلِ. النَّاسُ تَتَسَاهَلُ وَيَظُنُّ أَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ الْمَنْهَجُ السَّلَفِيُّ. Tribulations and transgressions only occur due to a lack of justice. People become lackadaisical and think that this is the Salafi methodology. النُّصُوصُ جَاءَتْ تُبَيِّنُ أَنَّكَ لَوْ حَقَّقْتَ الْعَدْلَ فَتَحْصُلُ لَكَ الطُّمَأْنِينَةُ فِي نَفْسِكَ وَالِاسْتِقْرَارُ. وَلِهَذَا انْظُرُوا كَيْفَ يَحْصُلُ فِي الْفِتَنِ اضْطِرَابٌ شَدِيدٌ، تَجِدُ شَبَابَنَا فِي اضْطِرَابٍ: هَذَا يَتَكَلَّمُ وَهَذَا يَجْرَحُ وَهَذَا يَطْعَنُ وَهَذَا يَكْتُبُ وَذَاكَ يَسُبُّ وَذَاكَ يَسْتَعْجِلُ، فَيَقَعُونَ فِي الظُّلْمِ وَفِي الْجَوْرِ. The texts clarify that if you achieve justice, you will attain peace and stability within yourself. Therefore, look at how severe the turmoil is during tribulations. You find our youth in turmoil: this one speaks, that one criticizes, this one attacks, that one writes, that one curses, and that one hastens, falling into injustice and oppression. وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ سَكَتُوا وَتَأَنَّوْا، وَلَوْلَا إِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوهُ قُلْتُمْ مَا يَكُونُ لَنَا أَنْ نَتَكَلَّمَ بِهَذَا سُبْحَانَكَ هَذَا بُهْتَانٌ عَظِيمٌ، فَلَا تَخُوضُوا فِيمَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَهُ. If only they had remained silent and patient, and had said, 'It is not for us to speak about this. Exalted are You; this is a great slander.' So do not delve in what you do not know. اللهُ يَقُولُ: "وَإِذَا قُلْتُمْ فَاعْدِلُوا وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَىٰ". فَعَلَى طَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ يَتَحَرَّى الْعَدْلَ، لَا تَمِلْ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَقِّ لَا فِي كَلِمَةٍ وَلَا فِي خَبَرٍ وَلَا فِي شَهَادَةٍ وَلَا فِي حُكْمٍ. وَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلْ فِي الْأَحْكَامِ وَلَا تَتَطَرَّفْ مَعَ طَرَفٍ حَتَّى تَسْمَعَ وَتَعْرِفَ. Allah says: 'And when you speak, be just, even if it concerns a close relative.

Allah has commanded us to argue with the People of the Book in the best manner, as He said: "And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best" [Qur'an 29:46]. So how about arguing with our Muslim brothers? وَأَقُولُ فِي نِهَايَةِ الْمَطَافِ: الْجَرْحُ وَالتَّعْدِيلُ لَهُ أَهْلُهُ وَخَاصَّتُهُ، وَهُمْ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ بِالرِّوَايَةِ وَالدِّرَايَةِ، وَلَيْسَ لُعْبَةً فِي يَدِ السُّفَهَاءِ وَالْعَامَّةِ مِنَ النَّاسِ، الَّذِينَ يُدْخِلُونَ بِهِ فِي الدِّينِ وَالسُّنَّةِ وَالسَّلَفِيَّةِ مَنْ يَشَاءُونَ، وَيُخْرِجُونَ مَنْ يَشَاءُونَ. In conclusion, I say: Criticism and evaluation have their people and specialists, who are knowledgeable in narration and comprehension, and it is not a game in the hands of fools and the general public, who include whoever they wish in the religion and the Sunnah and Salafiyyah, and exclude whoever they wish. وَالْمُتَّفَقُ عَلَيْهِ بَيْنَ الأَئِمَّةِ أَنَّ مَنْ دَخَلَ فِي الدِّينِ بِيَقِينٍ لَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ بِشَكٍّ. It is agreed upon among the Imams that whoever entered the religion with certainty does not leave it with doubt. وَلَوْ أَنَّ كُلَّ رَجُلٍ بَدَّعْنَاهُ لِخَطَأٍ وَقَعَ فِيهِ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ عَالِمٌ وَاحِدٌ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ الْعِلْمُ. If we were to declare every man who made a mistake an innovator, there would not remain on the face of the earth a single scholar to learn from. وَلَا بُدَّ مِنَ التَّفْرِيقِ بَيْنَ مَنْ أَخْطَأَ وَاجْتَهَدَ قَاصِدًا بُلُوغَ الْحَقِّ، وَبَيْنَ مَنْ تَعَنَّتَ وَسَبَّ وَطَعَنَ فِي أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ وَالسُّنَّةِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ. We must distinguish between those who made a mistake and strived to reach the truth and those who stubbornly insulted and slandered the people of Hadith and Sunnah without right. فَالأَوَّلُ مُجْتَهِدٌ لَهُ أَجْرٌ وَثَوَابٌ، وَإِنْ وَقَعَ فِي الْبِدْعَةِ، وَالثَّانِي مُبْتَدِعٌ مَذْمُومٌ، بِغَيْرِ جِدَالٍ. The former is a Mujtahid (one who strives) who is rewarded and has merit, even if he falls into innovation, while the latter is a condemned innovator, without dispute. وَأَنْصَحُ كُلَّ مَنْ تَسَبَّبَ فِي فِتْنَةٍ وَتَكَلَّمَ فِي دَقَائِقِ الْعِلْمِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَاسْتَغَلَّ شُهْرَتَهُ بَيْنَ الْعَامَّةِ فِي تَرْوِيجِ سِلْعَتِهِ الْفَاسِدَةِ، وَأَقُولُ لَهُ: يَا بَاغِيَ الشَّرِّ أَقْصِرْ حَتَّى لَا يَكْسِرَكَ اللهُ، وَالْزَمْ قَدْرَكَ وَلَا تَتَخَطَّاهُ. I advise anyone who caused a tribulation and spoke on intricate matters without knowledge, exploiting his fame among the public to promote his corrupt merchandise, and I say to him: O seeker of evil, stop before Allah breaks you, stay within your limits and do not overstep them. كَمَا أُحَذِّرُ مَنْ تَعَدَّى قَدْرَهُ بِغَيْرِ دِرَايَةٍ، وَلَا تَصَوُّرٍ لِحَقِيقَةِ الْوَاقِعِ وَتَكَلَّمَ فِي الْقَضَايَا الْعَامَّةِ، الَّتِي تَخُصُّ أَمْرَ الأُمَّةِ، وَالَّتِي هِيَ بِحَاجَةٍ إِلَى اجْتِمَاعِ أَئِمَّةٍ وَعُلَمَاءِ مُجْتَهِدِينَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ آخَرَ. Beware of overstepping your limits without understanding the reality and speaking on societal level issues concerning the Ummah, which require the gathering of Imams and diligent scholars more than anything else. وَأَقُولُ لَهُ: اتَّقِ اللهَ، وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ مَنْ تَرَكَ الأُصُولَ حُرِمَ مِنَ الْوُصُولِ... وَكُلُّنَا مَسْؤُولُونَ غَدًا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللهِ تَعَالَى... أَسْأَلُ اللهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَهْدِيَنَا جَمِيعًا إِلَى صِرَاطِهِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ... اللَّهُمَّ آمِينَ وَصَلَّى اللهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمًا كَثِيرًا... I say to him: Fear Allah and know that abandoning the fundamentals prevents reaching the goal... All of us will be accountable before Allah tomorrow... I ask Allah to guide us all to His straight path... Ameen. Peace and blessings be upon Muhammad, his family, and his companions, abundantly.” Your brother in Allah / Ali Al-Wasifi May Allah forgive him, his parents, and the Muslims. https://t.me/alialwasifey/187
