PART 2: Some Beneficial Points Extracted Ahmad Baazmool’s Criticism Against Shiakh Saalim At-Taweel
WRITTEN BY THE SALAFI CENTRE OF MANCHESTER ON . POSTED IN ALI HASSAN AL HALABI,BROTHERHOOD, CALLING TO ISLAM - 'DA'WA', METHODOLOGY - 'MANHAJ', MORALS AND
MANNERS - 'AKHLAAQ',REFUTATIONS, SCHOLARS OF ISLAM
In The Name
of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy. All praise is due to
Allaah The Lord of mankind , Jinn and the entire
existence. And may the salaah and salaam be upon our noble Messenger
Muhammad, his family and his companions. To proceed:
Shaikh
Ahmad Baazmool (may Allaah preserve him) stated:
Indeed, I was asked
whether one can benefit from Shaikh Saalim Taweel’s (knowledge, lectures etc.), so I answered in the negative
because he has a number of Mukhaalafaat Manhajiyyah [i.e. a number of affairs
in opposition to the salafi call- those affairs of Methodology that draws a
clear distinction between the Salafi methodology and the falsehood of the groups ,
parties and sects.] And
indeed Shaikh Saalim At-Taweel has been advised concerning these affairs but he
has not recanted from them; rather he reviled and disparaged his Salafi
brothers. And in my answer to the one who asked me about
benefitting from Shaikh Saalim At-Taweel, I warned against six of his
Mukhaalafaat (i.e. affairs in opposition to the Salafi methodology); but I did not declare him
an innovator. Therefore,
how can I advise a person to listen to Shaikh Saalim At-Taweel when it is the
case that he establishes false principles, announces such principles and call
to them in his lessons and speeches, and teaches them to his students?!
And after speech
about his Mukhaalafaat (i.e. affairs in opposition to the Salafi methodology)
were made known on sahab.net and other salafi websites, his students (may
Allaah guide me and them towards correctness) sent many communications in which
they defended Shaikh Saalim and blamed me for uttering those words against
him. So I replied to
them saying that I did not declare Shaikh Saalim an innovator, but I clarified
his Mukhaalafaat (i.e. affairs in opposition to the salafi methodology) for the
seeker/s of the truth. They
told me that Shaikh Saalim refutes Ihyaa Turaath; so I clarified Shaikh
Saalim’s stance towards Ihyaa Turaath and that he has a mere criticism against
them in which is not found a declaration that they are innovators; rather
Shaikh Saalim intermingles with some of the men of Ihyaa Turaath and praises
them. So the students of Shaikh Saalim said that he is mistaken.
So I said to them:
So you are in agreement with me in this affair, but is this the only mistake of
Shaikh Saalim or does he have other mistakes that in contradiction to the
methodology of the Salafus Saalih (the pious predecessors); and is it
permissible for a me as a student of knowledge who knows the salafi methodology
to advise people to listen and benefit from the likes of this man (i.e. Shaikh
Saalim)? So the students began defending him again and that they study
under him, and that he is a salafi. So I said to them that this
praise of theirs for him is an approval of his dangerous mistakes about
which he has been given advice; and that this stance of
theirs towards a person who has opposed the Salafi methodology and has
been advised but he refuses to make a recantation–is this stance of
theirs the Salafi methodology they have adopted from Shaikh Saalim
At-Taweel and whether they exalt the creation and not the
Sunnah and the truth, and whether this is the end result of the foundations of Shaikh Saalim’s lessons?!’’ [End of abridged
paraphrase]
Shaikh
Ahmad Baazmool continued with a general address to everyone,
saying:
My brothers: Our
major scholars, such as the likes of Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi (rahimahullaah),
Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madkhali, Shaikh Ubaid Bin Abdillaah Al-Jaabiriy and
Shaikh Zaid Al-Madkhali (may Allaah preserve them)—they always instruct us
saying, ”Do not have a
bigoted allegiance towards us”; and
these scholars teach us that returning to the truth is the good thing a
person should do, rather than persisting in falsehood. And the Imaams who
came before these scholars (i.e. Shaikh Rabee, Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi, Shaikh
Ubaid and others) did not use to give precedence to anything over the truth,
rather they used to say: ”If
our speech opposes the hadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah
(sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam), then fling our speech on the wall;”
and they have noble stances in speech and action with regards to this.
May Allaah reward them. [End

A Grave
Mistake of Shaikh Saalim At-Taweel [Note: This title is the compiler's]
Shaikh Ahmad
Baazmool (may Allaah preserve him) stated that Shaikh Saalim likens the Salafis
to the takfeeris, and he said that just as the Takfeeris say, ‘’Jihaad, Jihaad, Jihaad!
the Salafis (also) say: Sunnah, Sunnah, Sunnah!! This similitude Shaikh Saalim made is
a betrayal of the Salafis and it is not a statement in aid of the truth; rather
is it permissible in the first place to liken the people of truth to the people
of falsehood, and are the
Salafis to be blamed for exalting the Sunnah?! [End of abridged
paraphrase]
Reader: Visit these links in which are found
information about who the Takfeeris are as opposed to the call of the
Salafis. And after reading what is contained in these links you will come
to know the reason why Shaikh Ahmad Baazmool strongly criticises Shaikh Saalim
for likening the Salafis to the Takfeeris. [1:Who are the
Takfeeris? http://www.takfiris.com/takfir/] [2:What Is Salafiyyah? http://al-athariyyah.com/salafiyyah/what_is.html http://al-athariyyah.com/salafiyyah/principles_salafiyyah.html]
Shaikh
Ahmad Baazmool continued…..
Shaikh Saalim says
that there is no reward in repeating speech about Abdur Rahmaan Abdul Khaaliq
the innovator, when it is the case that the Imaams of the Sunnah have plenty of
statements against the people of innovation and we find the Imaams of the
Sunnah from different places refuting one person. Therefore, what is the
problem with Shaikh Saalim At-Taweel that he objects to repeated speech against
Abdur Rahmaan Abdul Khaaliq–an innovator and enemy of the Salafi
Methodology!? And
even though Shaikh Saalim At-Taweel objects to speech being repeated against
the misguided innovator Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul Khaaliq and says that there is no
reward in doing so; however Shaikh Saalim speaks against Shaikh Muhammad
Al-Anjari who is well known to be from the Mashaayikh of Kuwait. Shaikh
Saalim said that Shaikh Muhammad Al-Anjari has not done anything and that
refutations do not increase Eemaan.
Therefore, Shaikh
Saalim does not see a benefit in repeating speech against the innovator Abdur
Rahmaan Abdul Khaaliq, but
what about speaking against the well-known Kuwaiti Salafi Shaikh Muhammad
Al-Anjari? Indeed, this behaviour of Shaikh Saalim
cannot be considered a defence of the truth and its people; rather he praises
some of the men who affiliate themselves with the deviant organisation Ihyaa
Turaath and this itself is a betrayal of the truth and its people. And
look at the softness Shaikh Saalim employed when speaking about those men of
Ihyaa Turaath and how he spoke against Shaikh Anjari who is a well-known salafi
Shaikh in Kuwait?! This behaviour of Shaikh Saalim is a watering down of
the truth and a means leading the Salafi Manhaj to be lost.
Reader: Visit the links to see who Shaikh
Anjari is and who Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul Khaaliq the innovator is. [1:Who is Shaikh Muhammad

Shaikh
Ahmad continued….
Likewise, another
mistake of Shaikh Saalim At-Taweel is his view that a lot of refutations
against the deviant organization Ihyaa Turaath hardens the heart of a person.
