To go to Dammaj or not to go?

Assalamu Alaikum,

For months I have read articles and listened to different tapes on the Fitnah between Shaikh Yahya and  Shaikh Ubaid Al Jaabiri to the point where Shaikh Ubaid warned from studying in Dammaj. Now let us get some points straight before we move on:

(1) Shaikh Yahya Al Haajuri was selected by Shaikh Muqbil to be the head teacher of Dar Ul Hadeeth and no one knows his student better than his teacher. He said: “And to not try to descend him from the chair.”

(2) This is not something new. These attacks have been happening since the time of Abu Hasan Al Ma’ribi and are continuing to this day. Therefore, without doubt anyone who warns from Dar Ul Hadeeth indeed is either an innovator, one who has in his heart a sickness or one who has been hoodwinked. Why I say this? It is because that it is quite possible that Dammaj has the most memorisers of Qur’an and the Saheehain per capita more than anywhere else in the world and no one sees evil of this except that he is one of three men.

When you see students of knowledge at 33 and 37 years of age having so much knowledge, speaking about Shaikh Abu Amr and Shaikh Abdul Hameed respectively, then what can you say afterward?

By Allah, I went to the University of Madinah and the University is more deserved of being warned against than Dar-Ul-Hadeeth with the mere fact that the University has Hizbees teaching in it and additionally they have teachers whose beards are shaven in the Arabic Language program from what I heard from some students there right now.

I am not warning from the University of Madinah however I am putting forward the scenario if it were that one had to be warned against over the other.

(3) That the da’wah in Dar Ul Hadeeth is far from Hizbeeyah, far from elections and politics, Tamyee’ and Ghuluw etc. Therefore, how can we say that there is no good there and that it is a must to warn against it and stay away from it?

(4) That Dar-Ul-Hadeeth is about knowledge day and night. As brothers who were there told me it is very intense and it is a must to memorise many Ahadeeth. They have no vacations, and no certificates to obtain but rather they do it for Allah in order to call to his way.

Hence, seeing these 4 distinguishing matters how can anyone with the least bit of common sense, from the West, say that it is not allowed to go to Dammaj? The only one who does this is a man of desires without doubt, a man who seeks to hide his Hizbeeyah, a man who without doubt has a disease in his heart.

As for our Shaikh and father Shaikh Ubaid. I met him in Madinah twice. Once in his house and once in a debate for a Master’s degree. I also went to some of his classes on Sharh Us Sunnah in Masjid Thuu Nurain. Alhamdu Lillah he is a lovely man, a man of Zuhd, a man who loves the Sunnah and its people and hates innovation. But without doubt our Shaikh Yahya Al Haajuri has been backstabbed by some pretending Salafeeyah  and for this reason we see what we see.

Think my dear brothers, it is the same thing that happened with Ash Shaikh Wasiyullah and Spubs. Shaikh Wasiyullah may Allah preserve him was told a plethora of lies. Abu Khadeejah gives Fatwa, they deliver Khula’ to find out that none of it has an ounce of truth.

And it is the same in this country to the point that one wanted to carry me to the Grand Mufti of the Mamlakah because I refuted what he was upon from Tamyee’ (softening the Manhaj). Now if one of the scholars refuted me without looking at what I call toward,  but everyone worldwide knows without doubt that I, Musa Millington call to Tawheed, Salafeeyah and unity and speak against Shirk, Hizbeeyah etc, will everyone come and say well Musa not upon Salafeeyah when his writings and speech show that he is? No, that would not be the case, however it would be obvious that a backstabber went to one of the Shaikhs or scholars, poisoned his mind and got what he wanted from them.

And this happens in every place and time. There are backstabbers lurking in the bushes looking for any oppurtunity to cripple you and drive that knife through your spine because of their jealousy and hatred for the purity of Aqeedah and Manhaj you call toward.

To all these backstabbers Allah ta’ala is watching you and aware of your plans. The Prophet (Salallahu Alaihi wa sallam) said: “And it is possible that I make a judgement for the one who is more eloquent. And whomsoever I do that for let him know I am cutting a piece of the fire for him.”

So if any of you want to cut a piece of the fire for yourselves with international dimensions then knock yourselves out. Allah will be witness of what you did.

So let us beware of our tongues and respect our both scholars despite what they say of each other. Without doubt, from what I have written we have no doubt of who the party in error is however this does not mean that he is outside of Ahlus Sunnah. Rather we say that he has one blessing if he wanted truth.

From the signs that a person is Hizbee

وقد سئل شيخنا الإمام الوادعي رحمه الله كما في تحفة المجيب 112
كيف يَحْذَرُ الشباب من الحزبيات غير الظاهرة والتي لا يحذر منها إلا قليل من الناس وكيف يعرف الشاب أنه خالف منهج السلف في ذلك؟
قال رحمه الله : يعرف بالولاء الضيق، فمن كان معهم فهم يكرمونه، ويدعون الناس إلى محاضراته وإلى الالتفاف حوله، ومن لم يكن معهم فهو يعتبر عدوهم . ….ألخ

The Imam Al Wadi’ee was asked as in the book Tuhfatul Mujeeb (112)

How can the youths warn against Hizbeeyah that is not apparant that which no one warns against except a few people. How can the youth know that one has gone against the way of the Salaf in this?

The Shaikh said: It is known by narrow allegiance. Whoever is with them they respect them and call the people to their lectures and to be around him and whomsoever is not with them he is seen as their enemy.

Notes:

Thier allegiance and disassociation is not based upon the Sunnah. It is based upon who is with them and who is not with them especially when they do their evil actions of backbiting Salafis, carrying tales about the Salafis, telling lies about the Salafis etc. When at the same instance they defend people who are clearly deviant as if they are the Imams of the Sunnah.

And from Allah we come and to Allah we return.

Ruling on those who defend Jam’eeyat (Da’wah organizations)

حكم من يدافع عن الجمعيات
(1)
السؤال: يوجد في مدينتنا رجل إخواني يلبس على العوام وعلى المغترين به عندما يسألونه عن الجمعيات، ويقول: لو كانت الجمعيات بدعة فالمكرفون والسيارات بدعة، لأنها لم تكن موجودة في عهد النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم؟
الإجابة:
نعم هو ملبس، وإلا فإن هذه عبارة عن وسائل مشروعة لها أصول، أما الجمعيات فكان مقتضاها موجودًا ولم يفعلها النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم

Question: In our city there is an Ikhwani who deceives the laypeople and those who are fooled by him in that when they ask about Jam’eeyaat he says: If Jam’eeyaat were innovations then the microphone and cars are (also) innovations, because they were not present in the time of the Messenger ?

Answer: Yes he is one who deceives (covers the truth with falsehood), and otherwise, verily this expression about means consistent with Islamic law (to give da’wah) have foundations, as for Jam’eeyaaat that are present in this time the Prophet never did such a thing (have organizations for da’wah).

Benefit from our Shaikh Ibn Baaz.

أنا كثيراً ما أتحدث لوحدي، طبيعة كذا، لم أستطع تركها فهل تعتبر غيبة إذا ذكرت إنسان بما يكره وأنا لوحدي، لم أذكره مع أحد من الناس، وإنما بيني وبين نفسي؟

النبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قال: (الغيبة ذكرك أخاك بما يكره). فظاهر كلام النبي- صلى الله عليه ويسلم- العموم، وأنك متى ذكرت أخاك بما يكره سواء كنت وحدك أو عند الناس فهذا كله غيبة. فالوصية أن تحذر ذلك، وأن تعتاد السكوت إذا كنت وحدك إلا في ذكر الله –عز وجل-، لا دخل لك في الناس، اذكر ربك، اشتغل بشيء من ذكر الله: سبحان الله والحمد لله ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر. اللهم اغفر لي. دع عنك الناس، عندك من الشغل ما يكفي، من ذكر الله واستغفاره، ودعائه – سبحانه وتعالى -.

The Questioner asked: I talk to myself a lot, it is like this for me, and I cannot leave it off. Would it be Gheebah (backbiting) if I mentioned someone with what he dislikes and I am by myself. I do not mention it to anyone, rather it is to myself.

Shaikh Ibn Baaz: The Prophet (Salallahu Alaihi wa sallam) said: “Backbiting is saying about your brother that which he dislikes.” Therefore what is apparant from the speech of the Prophet (Salallahu Alaihi wa sallam) is what is general and that whenever you mention about your brother that which he dislikes whether you are alone or with the people then this is all backbiting. Therefore the advice is to beware of this, and to get accustomed to silence when you are alone except when remembering Allah- azza wa jall- don’t mention the people. Remember your Lord, keep busy with something from the rememberence of Allah. Subhan Allah, Alhmadu Lillah, La Ilaha Ill Allah, Wallahu Akbar. May Allah forgive me. Leave the people alone, you have enough to do (for yourself) from remembering Allah- Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala-, asking his forgiveness and making suplications.

Notes:

This is why whenever someone went to Shaikh Ibn Baaz and told him: He said so and so of you and so and so of you. He simply used to say: “May Allah excuse everyone.”

And as a poet said:

Do not concentrate on the faults of others Over your faults and these are two faults.

Meaning: That if you concentrate on the faults of others and you do not look at yourself and your faults this would be double the sins. Because you would be heedless of yourself and your heart yet attentive to others and what they do in secret and open.

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.”
