All praise is due to Allaah [The Lord of Mankind, Jinn and all that exists]. Indeed the good and happy
end result is for those who fear their Lord. There is no deity worthy of
worship except Allaah and Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. And may the
Salaah and Salaam be upon him (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam), his family, his
companions and those who follow their path till the establishment of the hour.
To proceed
Indeed, it has been reported by Imaam Ahmad and Imaam Muslim
(rahimahumallaah) on the authority of Abdullaah Ibn Amr Ibn Aas (radiyallaahu-anhumaa)
that the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ‘‘Indeed, there
was not a Prophet before me except that it was incumbent upon him to guide his
Ummah to the good of that which he knew there was (goodness) for them and to
warn them against what he knew there was evil for them.”
Al-Allaamah Ubaid Bin Abdillaah Al-Jaabiree (may Allaah preserve him and prolong his life upon
goodness) stated that this above hadeeth and the hadeeth of Tameem Ad-Daari
about giving Naseehah to the Ummah are two clear texts showing the obligation
upon the scholars to give advice to the Ummah; and this is done in order to protect the Sunnah and the sound creed
from the false interpretations of the ignorant ones, the distortions of those
going beyond bounds, the false claims of the liars and the dubious affairs of
those misguided ones who confound truth with falsehood. [paraphrased
and abridged: for further details, see malhoodhaat Wa Tanbeehaat of Shaikh
Abdullaah Ibn Salfeeq Adh-Dhufayree:paage9]
Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madkhali (may Allaah preserve him and prolong his life upon
goodness) stated in his reply to Dr Ibraaheem Ruhayli (may Allaah rectify his
affair): ”unfortunately, there are people who conceal refutations against the
people of falsehood and error. They are enthusiastic in (giving) them
allegiance and defending them; and they (show) harshness and disapproval
towards those who refute falsehood and error. They betray them with a severe
betrayal and they make the people ardent that this (action) of theirs is
softness and wisdom, whilst it is from the severest types of calamity and
trials—the very affair that encourages the people of falsehood to persist upon
their falsehood and spread their trials and tribulations worldwide. If only
these type of people realised the dangerous end results of their stances.”
Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari (may Allaah preserve him and prolong his life upon
goodness) stated in his first reply to Dr Ibraaheem Ruhayli: Indeed amongst the
greatest fundamental principles of Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jamaa-ah is the obligation
of unity and togetherness, and prohibition from splitting and differing; and
this unity is to be upon the truth, by way of the truth and for the sake of the
truth.[Abridged]
Shaikh Ahmad Baazmool (may Allaah preserve him and prolong his life upon goodness)
stated in his criticism against Shaikh Saalim At-Taweel (may Allaah rectify his
affair): Indeed, in this era in which the people of innovation seek to make
excuses for those people who speak ill of the ahaadeeth of the Prophet
(sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam); however they do not make excuses for the
Salafis in their criticisms against Shaikh Saalim At-Taweel despite the fact
that there have occurred affairs in opposition to the salafi Manhaj from
him. Imaam Ibn Rajab spoke the truth when he stated: It is
obligatory upon everyone to whom the command of the Messenger
(sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) has been conveyed and he knows about it, that he
clarifies it to the Ummah and give them advice. He is to command them to
follow the command of the Prophet even if it opposes the opinion of the great
ones of this Ummah; for indeed the command of the Messenger
(sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) has more right to be extolled and followed than
the opinion of a great one whose command in some affairs is wrong…. Indeed, the
companions and the scholars after them refuted the views of everyone that
opposed the authentic Sunnah of the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam)
because the Sunnah of the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) is more
beloved to them. His command is above the command of every person; therefore if
another command opposes the command of the Messenger
(sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam), then indeed the command of the Messenger
(sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) has more right to be given precedence and
followed. Paraphrased
and Abridged
Some of the Clear Errors of Shaikh Saalim At-Taweel (may
Allaah rectify his affair)
Shaikh Ahmad Baazmool (may Allaah preserve him) stated in
the second part of his criticisms against Shaikh Saalim At-Taweel: There are
three affairs showing the confirmation of the state of affairs of Shaikh Saalim
At-Taweel: Firstly: These affairs are based on Shaikh Saalim At-Taweel’s
audible speech. Secondly: These affairs are/were found in his website. Thirdly:
Trustworthy and reliable narrators testified to these affairs. [end of quote]
Shaikh Saalim At-Taweel praises some of the affiliates
of the deviant organization (Ihyaa Turaath) and holds that the differing
between Ihyaa Turaath and the Salafis is not an affair of creed [Note: This Title is the compiler's]
Shaikh Ahmad Baazmool stated:
Shaikh Saalim Taweel is a man claiming to be Salafi and that
he is from the Salafis; but there is to be found in his Manhaj, in his speech
and in his statements many things that obligates warning against him, and he
has been advised regarding that (i.e. his errors). And from this is his praise
for some of the men of Ihyaa Turaath found in statement of his titled: Raddul
Isaa-a Bil-Ihsaan Ta’qeeb Alaa Ad-Duktoor Khaalid Sultaan), he said: I praise
Allaah, I love my Muslim brotherswhether they are from Jam-iyyah Ihyaa Turaath
or outside of it, and I acknowledge for them their rights and preserve their
sanctity for them ….I hold that there are from amongst those who ascribe
themselves to Jamaa-atu At-turaath people of virtue, knowledge and religion
……And amongst them are people of the Qur’aan, such as the virtuous Shaikh
Mohammed Hamoud Al Najdi, Sheikh Dawood As-oo-see, Sheikh Ibraahim Al Ansari,
Sheikh FaisalGhazzaar and other than them…..[end of paraphrased quote]
Reader: This
is a clear praise Shaikh Saalim At-Taweel gave to some of those ascribing to
the extremely deviated organization Ihyaa Turaath, so even if Shaikh Saalim
argues that he has criticisms against Ihyaa Turaath, this is no more than the
criticisms of Ali Halabi (The innovator) against Ihyaa Turaath as stated by
Shaikh Ahmad Baazmool. Shaikh Ahmad Baazmool stated about Shaikh
Saalim At-Taweel’s criticisms against Ihyaa Turaath: ”Yes, this is similar to
what Ali Halabi refuted Ihyaa Turaath, whilst he is their companion, and eating
and drinking with them. Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic) mentioned from the
characteristics of the people of the book that: ”Those among the Children of
Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of Dawud (David) and ‘Iesa
(Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). That was because they disobeyed (Allah and the
Messengers) and were ever transgressing beyond bounds. They used not to forbid
one another from the Munkar (wrong, evil-doing, sins,
polytheism, disbelief, etc.) which they committed. Vile indeed was what they
used to do…..’’
Therefore, Shaikh Ahmad Baazmool pointed out that
Shaikh Saalim At-Taweel’s criticisms against the deviant organization Ihyaa
Turaath is no more than that of Ali Halabi The Innovator. The Shaikh also
pointed out in his first criticism that Shaikh Saalim does not hold that the
differences between the Salafis and the deviants of Ihyaa Turaath is a
differing in the affair of creed. Reader: Indeed, this view of Shaikh Saalim is
false and in opposition to the reality of that which the scholars have revealed
concerning the extreme deviations of this organization. Therefore, the reader
must visit this linkhttp://www.salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=9&Topic=5220 to
find out for himself, for indeed the scholars have clearly pointed out that the
differing between this deviant organization (Ihyaa Turaath) and the
Salafis is a differing in the affairs of creed.
