Shaikh Rabee's Advice to The Salafi Youth!
Ash-Shaikh Dr. Rabee’ bin Hadee Al-Madkhalee, lion of the Sunnah, said as he addressed the Muslim youth, who are upon the understanding of the pious predecessors:
“Oh Muslim Youth, prepare yourselves to be inheritors of the Prophets, and the Prophets, Peace be upon them, didn’t leave anything as inheritance except knowledge, so whoever grabs hold of it, has attained a large fortune. And this knowledge, its greatest aim is to call to Allah, the Most High, and to rectify the creed of mankind, which will lead to the rectification of their worldly life. There has not been a Prophet, except that they faced endless corruption from their communities, and from this corruption is the corruption in Aqeedah. So what did these Prophets, Peace be upon them, begin their call with? They did not begin with economic, political, or communal rectification, as they call it. Rather, they began with purifying the belief. If the people’s creed is rectified, than everything will immediately follow, from economic, political, and societal issues. And say what you will, if the people’s aqeedah is not purified, then the people will not be rectified, wherever they may be, because they don’t have a foundation, and if the foundation is missing, then everything else branching from that will be wasted. As for the foundation, it is Al-Aqeedah, the correct belief. All of these actions, are connected with Al-Aqeedah, and follow it. So if the basic belief system is missing, how will we be able to rectify any other realm? This is a reality that anyone of intellect, who seeks rectification, happiness, and good for the ummah, has to be aware of. This is the correct methodology in rectifying the society and anything else. There is no doubt that many factors have come across the ummah which have corrupted many people’s outlooks, beliefs, and methodologies, and are in need of taking lessons from the likes of Ibn Taymiyyah, not from so and so, in order to rectify the ummah and return the muslims to what the Noble Messenger, sallahu alahi wa salaam, and his Companions were upon, may Allah be pleased with all of them, in affairs of belief, methodology, and mannerisms. And all of this will follow if the belief and methodology is correct.”
