Khutbah on establishing the religion
Given in Aldana street: 24/04/09
After Khutbatil Haajah..
For verily every Muslim whether male or female, good or evil, or upon the Sunnah or other than it seeks to establish this religion and have it as the most powerful in the land. This is because this religion is the religion of truth, the religion of Tawheed, the religion of the Prophets and the Messengers, the religion of justice, the religion og unity and brotherhood and guidance . Allah has said: “He is the one who has sent his Messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth to conquer all religions and Allah is enough as a witness.”
Know Oh Muslims that Allah has not left anything out of his book. And he has made clear the way toward establishing the religion and making it firm upon the earth, for those who want it, with clarity. Allah has said in his book: “Allah has promised those who believe from you and do righteous deeds that he would make you inherit the earth as those before them inherited the earth and he would establish the religion that he is pleased with firmly on the earth and he will replace their fears with safety. They worship me and don’t associate partners with me.”
Allah has promised us that this inheritance of the earth, meaning to inheriti it after the righteous, and establishment of the religion, and safety of the Muslims never comes except with establishing the oneness of Allah and obidience to him and obidence to the Messenger . For Imaan and the oneness of Allah come with knowledge and good deeds are those deeds which go in congruence with the book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger . And the Messenger of Allah has mentioned in an authentic Hadeeth which showed the reasons for the weakness of the Muslims because of their deviating from the Shari’ah and their love for the Dunya said: “Allah will put humiliation over you, he will not lift it until you return to your religion.”
Yes, Return, for returning to what the Messenger of Allah was upon and his companions is the way to power and establishment of the religion. And to this Imam Malik said: “The last of this Ummah will not be rectified except by which the first of this ummah was rectified by.” And the one who is sucessful is the one who follows the way of the ancient ones (referring to the companions of the Messenger )
Second Khutbah:
Upon us Oh Muslims is to reflect on this verse and look at our condition with it. . And it is upon us to know that the power is with Allah alone. Allah hqas said: “Whomsoever wants power then Allah has all the power.” And Allah said: “And Allah has the power and his Messenger and the believers but the hypocrites do not know.” And Allah has made it Haraam for us to seek power from other than him like the way of the Hypocrites. Allah has said: “Do they wish for power from them then the power is with Allah only.” There is no power when one goes against the Shari’ah. There is no power in revolutions or fighting the Muslim rulers or democracy or elections. And not by innovations or partisanship that seperates the religion and makes the Muslims into groups and parties.
Power for the Muslims is only with obidience to Allah and worshipping him alone and obidience to the Messenger . And establishing the religion is through obidience of Allah and his Messenger . It isn’t by entering parliament and other than it. Therefore it is upon every Muslim to start with himself and submit totally to Allah and to worship him has one and to obey the Messenger and to make the book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger as a judge in his life. And he has to place emphasis on his family and his Masjid so that this good would spread. For there is no establishment of the religion on the earth until we establish it within ourselves and there is no inheritance of the earth got us unless we do good deeds that go according to the Shari’ah. Allah said: “Allah doesn’t change a people unless they change what is within themselves.”
Is the basis of the Muslim Sunnah or Bid’ah?
هل الأصل في المسلم السنة؟
الإجابة:
الأصل في المسلم المستور السلامة حتى يظهر منه سوء، والأصل في السني حسن الظن، وأنه سني حتى ينقله عن ذلك ناقل صحيح، والأصل في المبتدع البدعة وسوء الظن، والأصل في الكافر الكفر وأنه كافر حتى يعلم إسلامه فهذه أصول واضحة يؤيدها أثر عمر رضي الله عنه أنه قال: من أظهر لنا خيرًا أمناه وقبلناه، ومن أظهر لنا غير ذلك لم نأمنه ولم نقبله، وإن قال سريرته حسنة. وغير ذلك من الأدلة على وجوب معاملة الناس بما ظهر من أحوالهم.

when he said: “Whomsoever shows good to us we trust him and accept him and whomsoever shows other than that we don’t trust him or accept him even if his secret life is good.” And other than that from evidences which shows that one operates with the people with what is apparant of their condition. Does a Muslim stay away from Fitan At all times?
ال الإمام ابن باز -رحمه الله تعالى- في أحد إملاءاته:
Al Imam Ibn Baaz said in one of his writings:
Understanding the Hadeeth concerning Fitnah (Trials, Tribulations)
From Abdul Azeez Ibn Abdillah Ibn Baaz to the noble brother the Shaikh… may Allah guide him to which he is pleased with and increase him in knowledge and Imaan. Ameen
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuhu,
You letter dates 24/Muharram 1411 has reached me, may Allah make you arrive to his guidance, and I checked all that you mentioned. And it makes me happy to inform you that the Ahadeeth concerning Fitnah and warning from it according to the people of knowledge are the Fitan (trials) where the one who is correct is not known from the one who is wrong and it is upon the believer to stay away from it. And it is what the Prophet meant when he said: The one who is sitting is better than the one who is standing, and the one who is walking is better than the one who is running…
As for the trails where the one who is right is known from the one who is wrong and the oppressor from the oppresed this does not enter in the aforementioned Ahadeeth. But evidences of the Shariah from the book and the Sunnah show that it is compulsory to help the one who is correct and oppressed upon the one who trangresses and oppresses. And from this is what happened between Ali and Mu’awiyah Radiallaho Anhuma. For the one who was correct according to Ahlus Sunnah was Ali and he was a Mujtahid who got two rewards. And Mu’aawiyah and those who were with him were wrong but they were Mujtahidoon, those who looked for the truth, and they have one reward, may Allah be pleased with all of them.
قال الإمام ابن باز -رحمه الله تعالى- في أحد إملاءاته:
(مفهوم الأحاديث المتعلقة بالفتن)
من عبد العزيز بن عبد الله بن باز إلى حضرة الأخ المكرم فضيلة الشيخ : ع ، ح ، خ . وفقه الله لما فيه رضاه وزاده من العلم والإيمان آمين .
سلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته ، أما بعد :
فقد وصلني كتابكم الكريم المؤرخ في 24 / محرم / 1411 هـ وصلكم الله بهداه ، واطلعت على جميع ما ذكرتم .
ويسرني أن أخبركم أن الأحاديث المتعلقة بالفتن والتحذير منها محمولة عند أهل العلم على الفتن التي لا يعرف فيها المحق من المبطل فهذه الفتن المشروع للمؤمن الحذر منها ، وهي التي قصدها النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بقوله : القاعد فيها خير من القائم والماشي خير من الساعي الحديث .
أما الفتن التي يعرف فيها المحق من المبطل والظالم من المظلوم فليست داخلة في الأحاديث المذكورة بل قد دلت الأدلة الشرعية من الكتاب والسنة على وجوب نصر المحق والمظلوم على الباغي والظالم .
ومن هذا الباب ما جرى بين علي ومعاوية رضي الله عنهما . فإن المصيب عند أهل السنة هو علي وهو مجتهد وله أجران . ومعاوية ومن معه مخطئون وبغاة عليه لكنهم مجتهدون طالبون للحق فلهم أجر واحد رضي الله عن الجميع .

Advice to my fellow brothers in Da’wah
This is an advice I give to myself first and foremost and to my other brothers who give the da’wah.
قال الشيخ رحمه الله:عند قوله عز وجل(((فاصبرْ صبرا جميلا)))قال لابد للداعية أن يصبر لأنه سواجه في دعوته الجاهل والمعاند والحاسد والفويسق وأنصح الداعيةأن لا يذهب إلى المحاكم والحكَام إذا أوذي من الناس لأن هذا سيشغله عن طلب العلم ، ثم ذكر قوله تعالى ((وإذا خاطبهم الجاهلون قالوا سلاما))،وقوله تعالى ((وإذا سمعوا اللغوا أعرضوا عنه))
Shaikh Muqbil said about the statement of Allah: “Have patience in a beatiful manner” It is important for a caller to Allah to have patience because he will meet the ignorant, the stubborn, the one who is jealous and the sinner. And I advice the one who gives da’wah to not go to the courts or the rulers if he is harmed from the people because this will keep him busy from seeking knowledge.
And then he mentioned the statement of Allah: “And if the ignorant speak to them they honourably avoid them.” And Allah said: “And if they hear vain talk they turn away from it.”

Asking from people for da’wah
It was asked to Allamah, Shaikh Rabee ibn Haadee Al Madhkhali : Our Shaikh Muqbil founded the da’wah salafiyyah here in Yemen based upon self sufficiency and he authored a book titled “The blameworthiness of asking”. Our question is: Some of the callers sometimes ask the people money for the purpose of Da’wah. So what is the criteria in asking from people for the purpose of da’wah?
The Shaikh answered:
In any case, May Allah have Mercy upon Shaikh Muqbil and I ask Allah to succeed him with good in Yemen and other than Yemen. For verily this person, may Allah have Mercy on him, reminds us of the asceticism of the salaf, their abstinence, their honour and rank, their refusal (to accept monies from the people) and their courage in speaking a statement of truth. And the Da’wah salafiyyah was elevated and spread in Yemen and (people) were cured by it and (he) left for them great goodness. We ask Allah to bless his students and to bring forth from them many like him (Shaikh Muqbil); for verily, by Allah, he was an model in piety and abstinence and refusal of worldly matters. And he was given insight (by Allah) when he used to refuse money and warned against asking people. And I am reminded that he used to launch a fierce attack on anyone who collected money in his (Shaikh Muqbil’s) name. So he used to not compromise in this matter, May Allah bless him. And is NOT a necessity to approach people asking them in the name of da’wah; the salaf never did that. And Ahmad ibn Hanbal rahimahullah, did he stretch out his hand asking the people for the purpose of da’wah? He used to refuse money – and he is cited as a model of abstinence in his refusal and dignity when he traveled to Abdur Razzaaq from Iraq to San’aa. On the way, he and his companion, Yahya ibn Ma’een, performed Hajj and found Abdur Razzaaq in Makkah. So ibn Ma’een said to Ahmad: “Here is Abdur Razzaaq. Allah has brought him to us so we do not need to travel.” Ahmad replied: “I have made the intention to travel to San’aa so I will not return.” Then he traveled to Sanaa and on the way he ran out of money. When his companions found out, they offered him monetary assistance. But Imam Ahmad refused and instead opted to work as a porter for the bedouin camel owners, carrying loads on his back – and he was an Imam rahimahullah. He saw that porterage, work and eating from the sweat of ones own hands was better by thousands of times than taking money from the people; because the upper hand is the one that gives and the lower hand is the one that receives. And Ahmad did not want his hand to be the lower one, may Allah be pleased with him. So I advise the scholars and the students of knowledge to return towards the biographies of the nobility of the salaf, and let them be aware that eagerness to seek money is from the most dangerous of dangers upon the Da’wah Salafiyyah. And the proof of that is that the current fitnah was sparked because of money when, may Allah bless you, some people started stretching their hands out to this Jam’iyyah and that Jam’iyyah (charity organization). So week refuge with Allah from the fitnah of money. Verily it is fitnah, by Allah. And by Allah, it is but a very small number of students who come out of the masjid and are self sufficient, noble and honoured. And (these) are better than millions and millions of those ’students of money’ and those destroyed by the dunya (worldly matters). So we advise the salafi youth and the scholars from amongst them to return towards the biographies of the salaf. As they (the salaf) raised the banner of the sunnah, so to they also raised the banner of honour, nobility, asceticism, abstinence and the dislike of chasing after the dunya. By Allah, nothing has harmed the Da’wah Salafiyyah in Yemen more than the exposure of money and the panting after it and it has given rise to this fitnah now.
And money is a strong arrow in igniting the fire of trials. Unless there is repentance to Allah and returning to Allah and brotherhood for the sake of Allah. We advise them with calling one another to the truth and calling one another to patience in every difficulty of life. {And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to the patient ones} (Al Baqarah:155). And by Allah, verily the salaf did not bring this da’wah to us by way of tender, soft money and vessels. But they brought it to us by their asceticism, abstinence and turning away (from wealth), may Allah be pleased with them. So we advise the salafees in every place and in Yemen especially – that Yemen which Allah has raised in it the banner of the Sunnah: That they guard this da’wah; and if money was to come to them, then it will spoil that which is between them so it is upon them to kick it away with their legs. And they should traverse upon their path honoured and enobled spreading the noble, clean da’wah of Allah.
