I asked Shaykh Abû ‘Abdillâh al-Hâshimî: Is it a condition to make up the fasts of Ramadân before fasting the 6 days of Shawwâl? He said: This is correct, that you start with making up [the fasts of Ramadân] first. I said: And [can we] fast the 6 days of any month, or only Shawwâl [to attain the reward]? He said: From Shawwâl till Dhul-Hijjah.

Muwahid feels anger when he sees Shirik being committed. Muwahid feels anger when he sees affection being shown to enemies of Allah. Muwahid feels anger when he sees Murtadeen being raised to status of Muslims by declaring them Muslims. Muwahid does not justify such things in the name of Hikmah and Siyasah. May Allah make Tawheed our soul and al wala wal bara our senses.

👆 The sahabah had lived Tawheed and al wala wal bara. If they heard you as a Muslim showed affection to Tawagheet and their soldiers you would find their face turn red with to anger. They were not lax when it came to Islam. You could ask them for life and they would present it to you as a Muslim. But they would take your life as well when it came to protecting Islam. When it came to personal things they were soft. But when it came to preserving Islam they were harsh. Today we see totally opposite of it even among so called Jihadi groups and their fans.

You know when a modest person exposes their awarah accidentally how they feel shame or shy? It makes them blush or nervous or sweat. This is because they have known and lived the modesty. Immodesty feels like death to them. Then you have people who expose even their private parts accidentally and they act as if nothing happened. This is because they haven't known modesty. They feel immodesty is their life. They lived immodesty. Similarly we have people who have not known Haqq. Your exposing batil of some groups to them does not seem to be a big deal to them. They do not know value of haqq. They feel like batil is just normal thing and it doesn't need to be taken huge matter. These fans of these misguided groups are such people. They haven't lived Haqq and haven't known Haqq. So the batil of their groups getting exposed to them is not a big deal. Kufr bit Taghut and al wala wal bara to them is like dishes where they choice to have it or not. Not a big deal that our groups lie even upon Allah in the name of Hikmah. May Allah grant us understanding

Shaykh Ahmad Mūsā Jibrīl حفظه الله commented on this statement, saying: “If he is talking about Harām and Halāl, then worse than that is those who change their 'Aqīdah! What a coincidence — the changes in the principles of Islām so suddenly and so drastically all happened twelve years ago. What is going on here? What happened? Did they all suddenly get some type of revelation we do not know about? What was it that happened that their 'Aqīdah so suddenly and drastically changed overnight? In another narration in Musannaf ‘Abdur-Razzāq and in Sunan Al-Bayhaqi, Abu Mas'ūd Al-Badri entered upon Hudhayfah. Abu Mas'ūd Al-Badri walked in on the Sahābi Hudhayfah — the same Sahābi we were talking about who is the holder of the secrets of the Prophet ﷺ. He said, “Advise me.” He is seeking advice from the man the Prophet ﷺ trusted with secrets. He (Hudhayfah) said, “Do not be like a snake, shedding skin in the Deen of Allāh.” The skin of a Muslim does not moult in the Deen of Allāh. The moulting in the Deen of Allāh by some Du'āt has become a topic of mockery to the non-Muslim journalists and non-Muslim experts in these matters. Being firm on the correct way is an honor. Say ‘Alhamdulillah’ if you are on the correct way and you have been on it. WAllāhil-'Adheem, it is the biggest blessing you could get…It is an honor many had, but Allāh deemed them unworthy of it, so He stripped many of that honor and kept the very few. Do not bolster about that big boy. WAllāhil-'Adheem, following in the footsteps of the Sahābah was an honor and Allāh the Almighty stripped you from it. Who keeps people firm on the right 'Aqīdah and who takes them away from the right 'Aqīdah? Allāh tells His own beloved ﷺ:

And had We not made you stand firm, you would nearly have inclined to them a little. (Surat Al-lsrā': 74)

Muhammad (ﷺ)! You would have been misguided if Allāh did not keep you on the Right, Guided path. That is talking to the Prophet ﷺ. An Arabic poet who saw changes in his scholars in his area said: Your friends are no longer what you used to see them as. They went through phases and phases of moulting and changing! As Fitan go on and as the snow keeps melting, you will see the reality of many more. That is the great benefit of the struggles that the Ummah goes through. The snow melts, and you see what is under it.

In order that Allāh may distinguish the wicked from the good, and put the wicked one on another, heap them together and cast them into Hell. Those! It is they who are the losers. (Surat Al-Anfāl: 37)”

A Litmus Test from the Trustee of RasūlAllāh ﷺ This Manhaj is the Haqq, without a sliver of a doubt, and as a result, it is one in which Allāh سبحانه وتعالى tests the adherents severely. Brothers and sisters need to be aware of the fact that nobody is above being tested, and nobody is above being misguided if Allāh had willed it upon them (ونعوذ بالله من ذلك) — no matter how knowledgeable, outspoken, or dedicated he/she had been to this Manhaj and ‘Aqīdah prior to their misguidance. It’s important for us all to be aware that while Allāh tests individuals, their failure of the test becomes a test for others as well. We often see that when well-known Dā’īs, outspoken social media personalities, or close intimate friends turn their heels on the Manhaj, others are left confused and some even start to have doubts regarding their own beliefs. Some question, “Why would someone seemingly so staunch or well-versed in the Manhaj have changed unless they found out they were upon misguidance?” But this question only arises from a lack of understanding of the nature of Fitnah itself and how to recognize it. If Fitnah was easy to avoid and recognize, the masses wouldn’t fall prey to it. Only those who Allāh has mercy upon can see it for what it is and avoid it, نسأل الله السلامة والعافية. It’s sneaky, it’s crafty. It finds its way even to the most knowledgeable and seemingly firm of people and often disguises itself as truth. The only weapon one has against it is Allāh’s Mercy and Protection upon him, and we ask Allāh to have mercy upon us and protect our hearts from deviating after having been guided. However, it’s certainly not impossible to recognize it. I would like to remind the brothers and sisters of the litmus test provided to us by the esteemed Sahābi Hudhayfah رضي الله عنه, which serves as a great source of clarity in the dark times we’re going through. One can use it to test and recognize the state of others, and more importantly, to test himself — if he’s sincere and truly desires to keep himself upon the Blessed Path. You’ll see that his description fits perfectly to many you see as of late, who fall prey to the same doubts they once refuted and clarified to others. عن حذيفة رضي الله عنه: أنه قال: "إذا أحب أحدكم أن يعلم أصابته الفتنة أم لا؛ فلينظر، فإن كان رأى حلالا كان يراه حراما؛ فقد أصابته الفتنة، وإن كان يرى حراما كان يراه حلالا؛ فقد أصابته." Hudhayfah رضي الله عنه said, “If one of you wants to know if he was hit with a Fitnah by Allāh (if Allāh misguided him) or not, then let him look: if he used to regard matters as Harām and now sees them as Halāl (he flipped it) or he made matters Harām which he used to deem Halāl, then he has been hit with a Fitnah.”

Al Hasan Al Basri said; The reciters of the Qur’an are of three types: 1-Those who take it as merchandise with which they ply their trade. 2-Those who recite its words but fail to comply with its injunctions, they use it to lord over the people of their land and rely on it to ascend to positions of authority. There are many who fall into this category, may Allah make their number small! 3-Those who treat the Qur’an as a cure and apply it to heal the ailments of the hearts. They recite it in their places of devotion and attain tranquility, they weep in their hooded cloaks, and they are overcome with fear and somberness. It is for their sake that Allah sends down the rain and it is through them that Allah confers victory against the enemy. By Allah this category is rarer than red gold. -[Ibn Abi al-Dunya, al-Hamm wa'l-Huzn #152 / Bayhaqi, Shu'ab #2621]
